How Bilging Affects Ship Stability: Calculating Draft, GM, and Righting Moment in Bilged Condition

This video covers the concept of bilging and how a flooded compartment affects a ship’s draft, metacentric height (GM), and righting moment. The calculations are based on the Lost Buoyancy Method, also known as the Constant Displacement Method. A bilged ship is one that has suffered a breach of the hull, typically through grounding, collision, or similar incidents, resulting in water entering the hull. #navalarchitecture #stability #hydrodynamics #maritime #seafarer #seaman #bsmt #maritimestudents #seamanship #trim #nauticalacademy
