Ship Stability for Masters and Mates is a comprehensive guide that examines every facet of ship stability and strength. Focusing on crucial aspects such as squat, trim, material stresses, and forces, the book provides a detailed study of the relationship between ship motion and stability, with particular emphasis on group weights and their impact on a vessel’s behavior. Divided into 56 chapters, the text delves into practical computations including the determination of KB, BM, and KM values, and demonstrates how to construct metacentric diagrams. It explains the calculation of TPCs for various drafts and outlines the importance of form coefficients such as the coefficient of fineness of the waterplane area. Also covered are themes like large-angle stability, the effects of beam and freeboard, and the interpretation of hydrostatic curves for vessels starting on an even keel. Additional sections address the free-surface effects of slack tanks with divisional bulkheads, the influence of side winds, and the correlation between freeboard and stability curves. The book further reviews traditional practices like timber ship freeboard marks, alongside detailed procedures for drydocking and ship squat in both open waters and confined channels. Enriched with extracts from the 1998 Merchant Shipping (Load Line) Regulations, this book is an essential resource for maritime students and professionals alike.
