7. Draught survey
a) Calculates the correction to the observed forward and after draughts to
forward perpendicular and after perpendicular respectively.
b) Calculates the correction to the observed mid-ship draught to amid-ship.
c) Calculates the correction of the amidship draught for hull deflection.
d) Calculates the correction of the amidship draught to True Mean draught
(TMD) when CF not amid-ship.
e) Calculates the correction for the position of the CF if trimmed hydrostatics
are not supplied.
9. Simplified Stability
a) Describes the use of simplified stability information.
b) Assesses whether a vessel complies with maximum permissible KG/
minimum permissible GM requirements for a given condition.
12. The effect on the curve of righting levers (GZ) of shift of cargo and wind
heeling levers.
a) Constructs a curve of righting levers (GZ) taking into account shift of
cargo/solid ballast and describe the effects on the vessel’s stability.
b) Explains the precautions to be observed when attempting to correct a large
angle of list.
c) Explains how wind heeling levers are calculated.
d) Constructs a curve of righting levers taking into account wind heeling
levers and describes the effect on the vessel’s stability.
e) Describes the minimum stability requirements taking into account wind
heeling levers as specified in current regulations.
13. Use of the current IMO Grain Rules to determine if the vessel complies with
the specified stability criteria.
a) Calculates, the grain heeling moments for a specified loading condition.
b) Determines from the grain heeling moment calculated in a) whether the
vessel complies with the stability requirements by comparison with the
maximum permissible heeling moments.
c) Calculates the approximate angle of heel in b).
d) Constructs a righting arm curve and heeling arm curve.
e) Assesses whether a grain laden vessel complies with the minimum stability
requirements specified in the current IMO International Grain Code.

heeling moments.
14. Rolling, pitching, parametric and synchronous rolling and pure loss of
stability.
a) Explains factors affecting rolling period.
b) Describes synchronous rolling and the associated dangers.
c) Describes parametric rolling and the associated dangers.

rolling or parametric rolling.
e) Explains the effects of being in a seaway and pure loss of stability on the
curve of righting levers (GZ).
f) Explains the effects of broaching and other manoeuvring-related
phenomena.
