Cargo Container Stowage Planning and Project Cargo Handling
Date: 4 & 5 September 2024
Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT).
Key Benefits of Attending
- GAIN knowledge of hydrostatics, transverse stability and longitudinal stability: Archimedes Principles, Law of Floatation, Forces acting on a vessel, centre of gravity and centre of buoyancy
- STUDY the effect of draft and density on the displacement of the vessel, understanding TPC, FWA
- UNDERSTAND Load Lines and Freeboard
- DEMONSTRATE the Free Surface Effect and its relevance to the ships stability
- KNOW requirements of IMO Load Lines for minimum stability conditions
- UNDERSTAND the curve of statical stability
- KNOW the conditions – Stable, Unstable and Neutral equilibrium. Stiff and tender ships and importance of maintaining a minimum GM
- UNDERSTAND the fact of partial discharge, ballasting and enroute consumption for the stress and stability of the vessel
- DETERMINE transverse stability: Assess initial transverse stability and correction of list
- DISCUSS effect of loading, discharging and shifting weights on a ship
- DETERMINE trim and final draughts. Ensure that the stress limits on the vessel are not exceeded
- MASTER the concept of trim, draughts and stress (SF/BM & Sea/Harbour conditions)
