Ship Trim Draft
1. **Problem 1:** A ship with a draft at the LCF of 8.0m and a trim by the stern of 0.6m receives an added mass of 200t 30m aft of the LCF. Given \(\Delta = 14000\)t, \(TPC = 16.4\)t/cm, \(MCT1cm = 17\)t-m, and \(LCF\) at midships, we find the new trim and draft.
2. Calculate the initial trim in cm:
\[ \text{Initial trim} = 0.6\text{ m} = 60\text{ cm} \]
3. Calculate the change in trim due to added mass:
\[ \Delta \text{trim} = \frac{\text{Added moment}}{MCT1cm} = \frac{200\times30}{17} = 352.94\text{ cm} = 3.5294\text{ m} \] (trim by stern increases)
4. Calculate change in draft due to added weight:
\[ \Delta \text{draft} = \frac{200}{TPC} = \frac{200}{16.4} = 12.20\text{ cm} = 0.122\text{ m} \]
5. New trim:
\[ 0.6 + 3.5294 = 4.1294\text{ m} \] (by stern)
6. New draft at LCF (midships) adding weight:
\[ 8.0 + 0.122 = 8.122\text{ m} \]
**Answer 1:** New draft = 8.122m, New trim = 4.13m by stern.

7. **Problem 2:** A ship load draft is 7m with trim forward (TF) 7.1m and trim aft (TA) 7.5m, given \(\Delta=13,000\)t, \(TPC=15.0\)t/cm, \(MCT1cm=15.5\)t-m, \(LCF=3\)m aft of amidships, \(LBP=150\)m. Find the required load and location to even keel.
8. Calculate the total change in draft:
\[ \text{Mean draft} = \frac{7.1 + 7.5}{2} = 7.3\text{ m} \]
\[ \Delta \text{draft} = 7.3 - 7 = 0.3\text{ m} = 30\text{ cm} \]
9. Calculate increase in displacement from draft increase:
\[ \Delta \text{displacement} = TPC \times \Delta \text{draft (cm)} = 15 \times 30 = 450\text{ t} \]
10. Calculate trim in cm:
\[ \text{Trim} = 7.5 - 7.1 = 0.4\text{ m} = 40\text{ cm} \] (trim by stern)
11. Calculate moment to correct trim (even keel):
\[ \text{Moment} = \text{Trim} \times MCT1cm = 40 \times 15.5 = 620\text{ t-m} \]
12. Find distance aft of LCF where the load must be added:
\[ d = \frac{\text{Moment}}{\Delta \text{displacement}} = \frac{620}{450} = 1.378\text{ m} \text{ aft of LCF} \]
13. Calculate actual position relative to amidships:
\[ \text{LCF is 3m aft amidships} \implies \text{Load location} = 3 + 1.378 = 4.378\text{ m aft of amidships} \]
**Answer 2:** Required load to add = 450t at 4.38m aft of amidships.
