A. Goals and Aims

1. Calculation of ship displacement.
2. Calculation of ship form ratios.

1. A box-shaped barge 65 m long and 12 m wide floats at a draft of 5.50 m in sea water.
Calculate:
A. The displacement of the barge;
B. The draft of the barge in fresh water.
SOLUTION
A
𝐿 = 65 𝑚
𝐵 = 12 𝑚
𝑇 = 5.5 𝑚
𝐶𝐵 = 1
𝛾𝑠 = 1.025 𝑡𝑜𝑛/𝑚3
∆= 𝐿 × 𝐵 × 𝑇 × 𝐶𝐵 × 𝛾
∆= 65 × 12 × 5.5 × 1 × 1.025 = 4397.25 𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑠
B
𝛾𝐹 = 1 𝑡𝑜𝑛/𝑚3
∆= 𝐿 × 𝐵 × 𝑇 × 𝐶𝐵 × 𝛾
4397.25
4397.25 = 65 × 12 × 𝑇 × 1 × 1 ∴𝑇= = 5.6375 𝑚
65 × 12

2. A vessel, 53 m LBP, breadth 11 m, has a draft of 3.2 m and a CB = 0.73. Calculate

displacement in sea water.
SOLUTION
𝐿 = 53 𝑚
𝐵 = 11 𝑚
𝑇 = 3.2 𝑚
𝐶𝐵 = 0.73
𝛾𝑠 = 1.025 𝑡𝑜𝑛/𝑚3
∆= 𝐿 × 𝐵 × 𝑇 × 𝐶𝐵 × 𝛾
∆= 53 × 11 × 3.2 × 0.73 × 1.025 = 1 395.94 tonnes

3. A ship 150 m LBP and 20.5 m breadth floats at a draft of 8 m and displaces 19500
tones. The midship section area coefficient (CM) is 0.94.

Calculate:
A. The block coefficient;
B. The prismatic coefficient;
SOLUTION

𝐿 = 150 𝑚
𝐵 = 20.5 𝑚
𝑇 =8𝑚
𝛾𝑠 = 1.025 𝑡𝑜𝑛/𝑚3
∆
∆= 𝐿 × 𝐵 × 𝑇 × 𝐶𝐵 × 𝛾 ∴ 𝐶𝐵 =
𝐿×𝐵×𝑇×𝛾
19500
𝐶𝐵 = = 0.773
150 × 20.5 × 8 × 1.025
𝐶𝐵 0.773
𝐶𝑃 = = = 0.822
𝐶𝑀 0.94

4. Find the area of the water-plane of a ship 200 meters long, 30 meters beam, which has
a coefficient of fineness of 0.8.
SOLUTION
CWL = AWP / L× B
Area of water-plane = L x B x CWL
Area of water-plane = 200 x 30 x 0.8
Aw = 4800 m2

5. A ship 135 m long, 18m beam and 7.6 m draught has a displacement of 14000T. The
area of the load water plane is 1925 m2 and the area of the immersed amidships section
is 130 m2. Calculate:
a. CWL,
b. CM,
c. CB,
d. CP.
SOLUTION
𝐴𝑊𝑃 1925
𝐶𝑊𝐿 = = = 0.792
𝐿 × 𝐵 135 × 18
𝐴𝑀 130
𝐶𝑀 = = = 0.95
𝐵 × 𝑇 18 × 7.6

𝐿×𝐵×𝑇 135 × 18 × 7.6
𝐶𝐵 0.739
𝐶𝑃 = = = 0.778
𝐶𝑀 0.95

6. A ship displaces 9450 tons and has a block coefficient of 0.7. The area of the immersed
mid-ship section is 106 m2. If the beam is 18 m and the draught is 6.7m, calculate the
length of the ship and the Prismatic coefficient.
SOLUTION
∆ 9450
𝛾 1.025
𝐶𝐵 = = = 0.7 ∴ 𝐿 = 109.2𝑚
𝐿𝐵𝑇 𝐿 × 18 × 6.7
