Presentation
This training course describes the inclining test and lightweight measurement procedures. Inclining test is a test performed on a ship to determine her stability, lightship weight and the coordinates of her centre of gravity. The test is applied to newly constructed ships greater than 24 metres in length, and to ships altered in ways that could affect stability.
Objectives
On completion of the training, students will be able to:
Get familiar with the stability of vessels at sea.
Know the forces involved in the movement of ships.
Know the types of inclination and equilibrium.
Understand how and when to perform an inclining test or lightweight check.
Know the precautions to be taken to perform or witness such tests
