VESSEL STABILITYVESSEL STABILITY
Grunt Productions 2007
Grunt Productions 2007
Stability - the tendency of a vessel to
rotate one way or the other (to right itselfright itself
or overturn)
Initial Stability - the stability of a vessel in
the range from 0° to 7°/10°0° to 7°/10°
Definitions
Grunt Productions 2007
Definitions
Overall Stability - a general measure of a
vessel's ability to resist capsizingresist capsizing in a
given condition of loading
Dynamic Stability - the work donework done in
heeling a vessel to a given angle of heel
Grunt Productions 2007
Roll – side to side or port to starboard.
(Rotate about longitudinal axis)
Pitch – up down or bow to stern. (Rotate
about transverse axis)
Yaw – twisting (rotate about vertical axis)
Sway – “sliding” laterally or side to side
Heave – up down as in lifted by waves.
Surge – “sliding” longitudinally or front back
Six Motions Of A Ship
Grunt Productions 2007
Definitions
ROLL - The action of a vessel involving
a recurrent motion (Longitudinal Axis).
HEEL - Semi-permanent angle of
inclination, caused by external
forces.
LIST - Permanent angle of inclination
caused by a shift in the center of
gravity, -GM, or both.

Laws Of Buoyancy
• A floating object has the property of buoyancy
• A floating body displaces a volume of water
equal in weight to the weight of the body.

Laws Of Buoyancy
• A floating object has the property of buoyancy.
• A floating body displaces a volume of water
equal in weight to the weight of the body.
• A body immersed (or floating) in water will
be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of
the water displaced.

Tends to produce motion or a change in

Units: TONS, POUNDS, ETC.
Force
Grunt Productions 2007
Force
Parallel forces may be combined into one force
equal to the sum of all forces acting in the same
direction and so located to produce the same
effect.

UNITS: TONNE-M3, FT-POUNDS, etc
F is the force of your hand while d is the length of
your “wrench” & Moment is the torque applied.

Editor's Notes

  • #25: Technically the reserve buoyancy of a ship is measured from the waterline to the DC deck. The minimum amount of reserve buoyancy required to meet a ship’s stability design criteria is from the limiting draft marks to the DC deck. RESERVE BUOYANCY IS OUR FRIEND!!!
  • #63: VESSEL IN FORGROUND NORMALLY SAILS WITH 4-5 PEOPLE. VESSEL IN BACKGROUND NORMALLY SAILS WITH 7-8 PEOPLE. AS A “JOKE” THE VESSEL IN THE BACKGROUND “BOARDED” THE VESSEL IN THE FOREGROUND. I.E. LARGE TOPSIDE WEIGHT ADDITION. REMEMBER “G STARTS OFF NEAR THE WATERLINE.”
  • #64: IMMEDIATELY START TO LIST DUE TO NEUTRAL GM… POSSIBLY SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE
  • #65: THEY ARE AT THE NEUTRAL STABILITY POINT OR SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE GM POINT. NOTICE THAT THE MAIN SAIL IS NOT FILLED WITH WIND.
  • #66: AS SOON AS THE SAIL FILLS…
  • #67: OVER THEY GO. NOTICE INDIVIDUAL IN PINK (WHO WAS THE HIGHEST OF THE TOPSIDE WEIGHT ADDITIONS) WALKS DOWN THE MAST.
  • #70: GETS TO THE KEEP AND …
  • #71: STARTS HELPING PEOPLE IN THE WATER.
  • #72: THEN THEY FILE THE INSURANCE CLAIM. MORAL OF THE STORY: NEUTRAL GM IS AS BAD AS NEGATIVE GM BECAUSE IF YOU GET TO THE NEUTRAL STABILITY POINT, SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR CONTROL LIKE WIND, WAVES, RUDDER FORCES ETC, WILL “PUSH” YOU OVER THE EDGE AND YOU WILL CAPSIZE. THE GOAL OF THE DCA IS TO KEEP WELL CLEAR OF THE NEUTRAL STABILITY POINT.
