🔍 Key Concepts

• KG (height of center of gravity) and how it affects stability • Difference between transverse metacentric height (GMT) and the maximum allowable KG on a stability letter • Meaning of KGL / KGT in relation to stability limits during transit

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when a stability booklet or letter sets limits for a unit in transit, does it usually limit the actual KG, or one of the metacentric heights? • Think about what quantity the operator can directly compare to a published limit to ensure the unit remains within an approved stability condition. • Consider whether a righting arm height is normally expressed as an absolute height above keel, or as a function of KG and displacement.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how KG limits are normally written on stability letters or in stability manuals for MODUs or drillers. • Verify whether GML/GMT or KML/KMT are typically results of a calculation rather than the directly limited quantity. • Confirm that the righting arm (GZ) is an angle-dependent curve, not usually a single fixed height above the keel.
