Solving For Ship's Moment Of Statical Stability (MSS)

Find the moment of statical stability when a ship of 10,450 tons displacement is heeled 6 degrees if the GM is 0.5 m.

Given:

               GM = 0.5 m

Angle of heel = 6 degrees

Displacement = 10,450 tons

What is asked?

Moment of Statical Stability (MSS)

Solution:

MSS = Weight × GM × Sin θ  

MSS = 10,450 tons × 0.5 m × Sin 6°

MSS = 546.2 ton-meters
