🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge keels location and purpose on a vessel’s hull • Primary function of bilge keels: effect on rolling motion vs structural strength • Difference between strength members (keel, frames, girders) and appendages like bilge keels

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What motion of the ship do bilge keels mainly affect—pitching, rolling, or heaving? • Think about where bilge keels are fitted: Are they designed for carrying heavy structural loads or for hydrodynamic effects in the water? • Which option describes something that must always be true of bilge keels on almost all conventional ships, not just in special cases?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the main purpose of bilge keels (what problem they are installed to reduce). • Check whether bilge keels are considered primary strength members in ship structure or more like damping appendages. • Confirm if their role in dry docking support is primary, secondary, or incidental compared to their role in seakeeping.
