5775.6 Tones: Load 300.0t

Uploaded by

The document details calculations to determine: 1) The displacement of a box-shaped vessel given its dimensions and initial draught in salt water. 2) The draught it would float at in dock water with lower density. 3) The new displacement and volume after loading 300 tonnes of ballast in dock water. 4) How much more ballast is needed to achieve the maximum permitted draught in salt water. 5) How much ballast is required to sink the vessel as part of a coastal protection scheme.

A box-shaped vessel has the following particulars:

length 86m, breadth 18.2m, depth 10m and floats at a draught of 3.6m in salt water (RD 1.025).

(a) Calculate the displacement of the vessel.

(b) What draught will the vessel float at if it is towed into dock water RD 1.012?

(c) 300 tonnes of rock ballast is now loaded into the vessel whilst floating in the dock water.

Calculating the new volume of displacement.

(d) How much more rock ballast must be loaded so that the vessel will float at its maximum permitted
draught of 5.62min salt water (RD 1.025)?

(e) How much rock ballast must be loaded to sink the vessel near the shore as part of a coastal
protection scheme?

(a)Calculate the displacement of the vessel.

DISPL.BOX  = (L x B x d) x r
DISPL.BOX   = (86 x 18.2 x 3.6) x 1.025

DISPL.BOX = 5775.6 tones

(b) What draught will the vessel float at if it is towed


         into dock water RD 1.012?

5775.6  = (86 x 18.2 x d) x 1.012


  5775.6 = (86 x 18.2 x 1.012) x draught == 1583.982 x draught
  draught = 5775.6/1583.982 = 3.646m

(c) 300 tonnes of rock ballast is now loaded into the


        vessel whilst floating in the dock water. Calculating
        the new volume of displacement.

Current Displacement   5775.6t
                 Load 300.0t
                New Displacement   6075.6t

  DISPL.BOX   = Volume of Displacement x Water Density


         6075.6 = Volume of Displacement x 1.012
     Volume of Displacement = 6075.6/1.012 == 6003.6m/m3

(d) How much more rock ballast must be loaded so


        that the vessel will float at its maximum permitted
        draught of 5.62m in salt water (RD 1.025)?

DISPL.BOX  = (L x B x d) x r
DISPL.BOX   = (86 x 18.2 x 5.62) x 1.025
DISPL.BOX = 9016.3 tones

Load Displacement          9016.3


Current Displacement      6075.6
May load                       2940.7 tones

(e) How much rock ballast must be loaded to sink the


        vessel near the shore as part of a coastal protection
        scheme?

To completely sink the barge assume draught required is


the same as the barge depth.

DISPL.BOX  = (L x B x d) x r
DISPL.BOX   = (86 x 18.2 x 10) x 1.025
DISPL.BOX = 16043.3 tones

Displacement at which barge will sink       16043.3 tones


Current Displacement                                9016.3 tones
Minimum amount to load to sink the barge 7027.0 tones
