Your vessel's drafts are FWD 19'-03", AFT 21'-07". Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the final drafts if 142 tons of cargo are loaded 86 feet forward of amidships.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim and how loading weight forward or aft affects drafts • Using moment to change trim 1 inch (MCT 1 in) from the Stability Data Reference Book • Difference between amidships and forward of amidships when finding trimming moments

💭 Think About

• Will adding weight forward of amidships make the forward draft increase or decrease? What about the aft draft? • How do you compute the trimming moment using the weight added and its distance from the LCF (Longitudinal Center of Flotation)? • Once you find the total change in trim, how do you split that change between the forward and aft drafts based on their distances from the LCF?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the correct MCT 1 in value for the vessel from Section 1 (blue pages) before doing any trim calculations. • Be sure you are measuring the cargo position from the correct reference point (usually amidships or LCF, depending on the table instructions). • After you calculate the forward and aft draft changes, confirm that the total change in trim (difference between aft and forward drafts) matches your trim calculation.
