    The document defines longitudinal centre of gravity (LCG) and longitudinal centre of buoyancy (LCB). It states that when a ship is floating on an even keel, the LCG and LCB must be in the same vertical line. It also explains that a ship's hydrostatic data provides the distance of the LCB from amidships for the ship on an even keel. When the actual LCG is not in this position, it will cause the ship to trim by the stern or bow.

    - defines longitudinal centre of gravity (LCG) and longitudinal centre of buoyancy (LCB)

    LCB is the longitudinal centre of buoyancy. This is the longitudinal centre of the
    underwater volume, and is the point through which all the buoyancy can be said to act
    vertically upwards. LCG is the longitudinal centre of gravity. This is the point through
    which all of the weight of the vessel can be said to act vertically downwards. Usually,
    the reference point for locating the LCG is either of the forward or aft perpendiculars.

    - states that a ship trims about the centre of flotation until LCG and LCB are in the same vertical line

    The ship trims about the centre of flotation. At the same time the position of
    the LCB moves and the ship must trim until G and B are again in a vertical line. When
    LCG and LCB are in the same vertical line, the rotation will stop, the vessel will be
    trimmed by the stern. If the vessel had started with LCB aft of LCG, then the rotation
    would cause a trim by the bow.
    - states that the distance of the LOB from amidships or from the after perpendicular is given in a ship‘s
    hydrostatic data for the ship on an even keel

    A ship’s hydrostatic data includes A series of graphs drawn to a vertical scale of


    draught and a base of length, which gives values such as the centre
    of buoyancy, displacement, moment causing unit trim, and centre of flotation. In practice
    tables with hydrostatic parameters calculated for different draughts are used. However,
    only having traditional graphs it is possible to observe character of hydrostatic curves
    and understand ship behavior.

    - explains that the LCG must be at the same distance from amidships as LCB when the ship floats on an
    even keel

    It must be remembered that LCB and LCG are in exactly the same position as the transverse
    centre of buoyancy and the transverse centre of gravity of the vessel.

    - shows on a diagram of a ship constrained to an even keel the couple that is formed by the weight and
    buoyancy forces when LCG is not the same distance from amidships as LCB

    - states that the trimming moment = displacement x the horizontal distance between LCB (tabulated)
    and LCG

    - (actual) = Δ x GG1

    - where GG1 is the horizontal distance between the position of LCG for the even- keel condition and the
    actual LCG

    - states that trim = (Δ x GG1) / MCT 1cm


    - states that if the actual LCG is abaft the tabulated position of LCB, then the trim will be by the stern,
    and vice versa

    - given the initial displacement, initial position of LCG, masses loaded or discharged and their LCGs,
    calculates the final position of LCG

    - using a ship‘s hydrostatic data and a given disposition of cargo, fuel, water and stores, determines the
    trim, the mean draught and the draughts at each end

    - calculates the mass to move between given positions to produce a required trim or draught at one end
