International Sewage Discharge Connection


The purpose of the International Sewage
Connection is to enable pipes of reception facilities to be connected with the ship's Sewage discharge
pipeline, both lines shall be fitted with a standard discharge connection so that it can be easily
coupled. <a href="http://www.marinesite.info/2014/11/international-sewagedischarge.html#more"></a>

Why Low Expansion Foam Used On Deck And High Expansion On Engine Room?
 
High expansion foam, since its expansion ratio being high and its density
being low, will be blown off by air if we use it on the deck . 
High expansion foam is used in engine room because the engine room being a closed
compartment, the foam can completely fill the same <a

What Is Free Surface Effect? How To Reduce Free Surface Effect?

Free Surface Effect 
When a compartment is not completely filled with liquid it
is said to have a free surface that tends to remain horizontal . As the ship inclines,the liquid flows to the
lower side (in the direction of inclination)thereby increasing the inclining moment. <a

What Is Virtual Tappet?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Unlike Aux Engines which have a manual tappet to
adjust, there must be a tappet clearance for the Main Engine as well. But with the absence of a rocker arm and spring how do we adjust the so
called TAPPET? The answer lies in the fact that there is no real tappet in the
main engine. </div></div><a href="http://www.marinesite.info/2014/10/what-is-virtualtappet.html#more"></a>

Center of Gravity plays a significant role in the ship's stability.Adding or moving
masses from one point to another in any direction will affect the position of center of gravity

Stiff And Tender Ships


Stiff
Ship 
>Those ships with large
metacentric height having a large righting moment at small angle of heel, which is difficult to incline and
which will return to its original position so quickly are called a stiff ships. 
> This type of ships does not
offer a comfortable ride, for the time period to return to its original position is very small <a

Righting moment and Righting Lever

 When a ship is inclined at an
angle, the center of gravity remains the same. But the center of buoyancy changes over to a new position,
creating a moment called righting moment. Righting moment calculation Consider an instance:

initial center of gravity of a ship be G and its center of <a

What Is Center Of Gravity, Center of Buoyancy And M eta Center Of A Ship

Center Of Gravity > The weight of the ship is distributed all over its length and is acting
downwards. we can consider that all the weight of the ship is acting downward, through a single point which
is called the Center of Gravity >You can
simply say that weight of the ship acting downward through one point is called CG > CG of ships can be calculated through inclination

When a ship is said to be Equilibrium,Stable,Unstable And Neutral equilibrium

 Equilibrium 
When the ship is in upright position, the force of buoyancy(up thrust) and
the force of gravity(weight) acts through the center of buoyancy B and the Center of gravity G respectively,
in the same vertical line. Then the ship is said to be in equilibrium. <a

Principle Of Flotation, Archimedes Principle, Buoyant Force and How Ships Floats
 Buoyant Force 
> When a body placed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force
which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is the pressure exerted on the body by the
fluid. 
>Pressure increases as the
depth increases, the pressure on the bottom of an object is always larger than the force on the top. So the
net upward force is larger at the bottom <a

TPC-Tonnage Per Centimeter immersion


This is the mass that must be added or
removed from a ship in order to change the ship draught by a value of ONE
centimeter. 
>TPC varies with the draught and water
density.

the draught at different loads
