SUMMARY:MCA Approved Stability Course. (1 day)
DESCRIPTION:Duration of the Course\nThe course is a one day course commencing at 09:00 hrs and finishing at 17:30\, with a total of 6.5 hours of tuition \nCourse Aims\nThe one day course has been developed so that learners will have a basic concept of ship stability\, particularly with respect to the centre of gravity\, centre of buoyancy\, GM and GZ Curves. The course aims to make learners aware of dangerous situations that can adversely affect stability such as FSE shifting of weights and the effect on the C of G and the GM\, angle of loll\, also what good stability and bad stability is. \nCourse Objectives\nBy the end of the course the learner will be able to understand basic ship stability in relation to \n\nCentre of Gravity.\nStable\, Unstable and Neutral Equilibrium.\nFlotation\nBox Shaped Vessel Centre of Gravity (C of G)\nCentre of Buoyancy\nThe Metacentre (M)\nFirst Principles (GZ)\nHow to Find Righting Moment (Moment of Statical Stability MSS)\nGZ Curves\nAngle of Loll\nStability Hazards (Things that will reduce stability)\nHow to Eliminate or Counteract a Negative GM.\nCalculation of KG\nAdding\, Shifting or Discharging a Weight\nHydrostatic Tables\n\nThe learner will be able to demonstrate understanding of the above by solving problems using the below formula. \nCourse Timetable\n  \n\n\n\nDay One\n\n\nTime From\nTime To\nTopic\n\n\n09:00\n09:45\nSafety Induction\, Course Enrolment\n\n\n09:45\n10:30\nCentre of Gravity. \nStable\, Unstable and Neutral Equilibrium. \nFlotation \nBox Shaped Vessel Centre of Gravity (C of G) \nCentre of Buoyancy \nThe Metacentre (M) \n \n\n\n10:30\n10:45\nBreak\n\n\n10:45\n13:00\nFirst Principles (GZ) \nHow to Find Righting Moment (Moment of Statical Stability MSS) \nGZ Curves \nAngle of Loll \nStability Hazards (Things that will reduce stability) \nHow to Eliminate or Counteract a Negative GM. \nCalculation of KG \nAdding\, Shifting or Discharging a Weight \nHydrostatic Tables\n\n\n13:00\n13:40\nLunch\n\n\n13:40\n15:15\nCalculations and worked examples\n\n\n15:15\n15:30\nBreak\n\n\n15:30\n17:00\nCalculations and worked examples\n\n\n17:00\n17:30\nRe-cap Q&A’s\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n		\n		Review MCA Approved Stability Course.
