  • MT 4141: Ship's Construction and Stability

    0.00 Credits
    Massachusetts Maritime Academy

    A basic course in how ships are constructed combined with the key concepts required for their stability. Ship construction emphasizes the principal structural members of a ship, along with measurement by various tonnages, and proper nomenclature for the sea-going offi cer. Ship stability emphasizes the concepts of fl otation, stability, ship strength and proper trim. Upon completion, the student will have knowledge of ship sizes, nomenclature and tonnages, along with the ability to use hydrostatic information to calculate initial stability and changes in stability. Additionally, the student will be aware of appropriate actions to take in the event of partial loss of intact buoyancy. Prerequisite: EN-3112 STCW: Knowledge

  • MT 4241: Stability and Trim

    0.00 Credits
    Massachusetts Maritime Academy

    This course is designed to meet all stability knowledge requirements for Offi cer in Charge of a Navigation Watch defi ned by STCW Regulation II/1. Building on the principles of stability, the student will use tables and diagrams of stability and trim data to calculate initial stability, drafts and trim for any given confi guration of loading. The student will compute both longitudinal and transverse stability for any condition during the load-out or discharge using both the traditional stability booklet and stability software. The student will interpret stability information and identify factors adversely affecting stability. Finally, the student will become familiar with damage stability assessment and fundamental actions to be taken in the event of partial loss of intact buoyancy.
