Shifting Weight to Achieve Desired Trim | Step-by-Step Cargo Calculation Guide
In this video, we’ll go through the step-by-step process of calculating how much weight or cargo needs to be shifted to achieve the desired trim — in this case, to bring the ship to an even keel. You’ll learn how to determine the distance between cargo holds using their LCGs, find the MTC and LCF from the hydrostatic table, adjust for dock water density, calculate the change of trim, compute the weight to be shifted, and finally, determine the ship’s final drafts. #cargocalculations #draftsurvey #stability #hydrodynamics #maritime #seafarer #seaman #bsmt #maritimestudents #seamanship #trim https://youtu.be/P14Xbnm17C8
