This course is suitable for whether you are a cadet, a student of maritime studies or a mariner wanting to increase your maritime knowledge to further your career.
Topics covered include how loading and unloading from a vessel will affect its stability and the draft it floats at, to the actions that can affect a vessel's ability to stay afloat and remain stable. There are also key formulae to use to calculate changes in flotation and stability.
Learning objectives:
By the end of this course, the learner will:
- be able to describe the effect of a fluid at rest
- be able to describe stability terms and definitions
- understand vessel stability and flotation
- be able to complete basic transverse stability calculations.
