🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal trim – how weight shifts affect the vessel’s bow and stern draft • Effect of removing vs. adding weight at different locations along the ship • How to reduce draft where you are aground without making it worse

💭 Think About

• When the bow is aground, what change in trim (bow up or bow down) would help free the vessel? • If you remove weight from the bow, stern, or midships, how does that affect the bow’s draft compared to the stern’s? • Which location(s) for weight removal most effectively reduce the pressure on the bow that is touching bottom?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which end (bow or stern) you want to raise to free a grounded bow • Think about the lever arm effect: weight changes farther from the vessel’s center of flotation cause more trim change • Verify whether removing weight at some locations could increase the bow’s draft and worsen the grounding
