Ship's Weight: Lightweight, Deadweight, and Displacement l Ship Stability Basics

This video covers a detailed explanation of the ship's weight: Lightweight, deadweight, and Displacement. Lightweight is the weight of the ship itself without any cargo, fuel, ballast, provisions, crew, or passengers. It includes the weight of the hull, machinery, equipment, and anything that is a fixed part of the vessel. It represents the empty weight of the ship. Deadweight is the total carrying capacity of the ship, which includes cargo, fuel, provisions, fresh water, ballast water, crew, and passengers. Displacement is the total weight of the water displaced by the ship when it is floating. According to Archimedes' principle, the displacement of a ship is equal to the total weight of the ship and everything on board. #stability #hydrodynamics #maritime #seafarer #seaman #bsmt #maritimestudents #seamanship
