LEARNING OBJECTIVES

To understand the virtual loss of GM and
the calculations.

To calculate the maximum trim allowed
to maintain a minimum stated GM.

To understand the safe requirements for
a ship prior enter into dry dock.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

To understand the critical period during
dry docking process.

To calculate the ships drafts after the
water level has fallen and after the ship
has taken the block overall.

Effect to stability when vessel has run
aground (single point).
Anybody would like to share their experience during
dry docking.?
Before enter into dry dock, vessel must have
Positive initial GM (GM fluid)
Upright
Trim - if possible even-keel or
slight trim by stern
Double bottom tank kept either dry
or pressed up - reduced FSE
If initial GM is small - D.B. tank to
be pressed up to increase GM
When coming into Dry Dock:

The vessel will line-up with her
centerline vertically over the keel
blocks

Dock gate will be closed and
commence pumping out water
F
No effect on ships Initial Stability

The rate of pumping will be
reduced as the ship's sternpost
near the block.

Commence touching the ground Sueing Point

Once the sternpost is touching the
block, the UP-THRUST forces start
to act against the sternpost.

weight gets transferred to the keel

When ship's weight gets transferred to

The time interval between the sternpost

CRITICAL PERIOD.

there is a transfer of weight 'P'

Therefore additional displacement

= 8.2 cm x TPC (24)
= 196.8 t

Displacement for TMD 6.732 m

= 9151 + 196.8
= 9347.8 t


When the ship become unstable, the GM = 0 m,
therefore loss of GM must be equal to initial GM.

Assuming aft draft maintain at 7.86m, new trim is 1.81m
by astern, therefore forward draft now is 6.05m
Worked Example 3

Your vessel is going to dry dock with the following
conditions:

Draft forward 8.00 m and aft 9.00 m. Her displacement is
30 000 tonnes. KM is 11.50 m, KG 10.90 m. MCTC 400 t-
m. TPC 38. LCF is 1.5 m abaft the amidships and LBP is
160 m.

The depth of water in the dock is initially 9.50m.

i. Find the effective GM and her new draft after water
level has fallen by 95cm in the dock.

ii. How much will be the further drop of water level so
that vessel will take the blocks overall?
