🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse metacenter (GMt) and how it is affected by changes in loading condition • Effect of discharging bulk materials on KG (height of center of gravity) and KM (height of metacenter) for this specific rig condition • How to use the information and steps shown on Sample Load Form #2 (Ballasting to Survival) to recompute hydrostatic properties

💭 Think About

• When you remove all bulk materials, what happens to the vessel’s total displacement and vertical center of gravity (KG)? Think about whether weight is being removed from high or low in the unit. • On the Sample Load Form, which columns change when weights are discharged, and which hydrostatic properties (KB, BM, KM) are read directly from the form or tables rather than calculated from scratch? • Ask yourself whether the metacentric height should increase or decrease after removing these particular weights, and then which choice best reflects that trend based on the original condition.

✅ Before You Answer

• Double‑check how the Sample Load Form #2 shows the initial KM (or transverse metacenter height) before discharging cargo/ballast. • Confirm whether the problem is asking for KMt (height of the transverse metacenter above keel) or GMt (transverse metacentric height) so you use the correct line on the form. • Recalculate the corrected KG after discharging all bulk materials, then use the form’s relationship between KMt, KG, and GMt to identify which answer is consistent.
