Program description Version 18 April 2024

Course objectives
This course covers hydrostatics and stability principles for Ships and other floating structures: from hydrostatic equilibrium to righting arm curves and statutory stability criteria verification, and longitudinal strength.

By the end of the course, participants have acquired an understanding of  hydrostatics & stability principles, with a view on Statutory verifications.

Syllabus
– Hydrostatic principles, floatation, weight vs buoyancy, metacentric height
– Righting arm curve & stability criteria
– Downflooding points
– Tank types & free surface models
– Heeling moment models
– Longitudinal strength: shear force & bending moment, girder deflection

Software of reference: GHS
Course venue / delivery mode: live web sessions. A minimum of 2 registered attendees is required to maintain the course.
