Q4. If a ship is seriously damaged under water in way of a large fuel side bunker tank what is the immediate effect
and what may ultimately happen? What features in the ship would enhance safety?

SECTION -II
Q6. A. Describe how water tightness is maintained where bulkheads are pierced by longitudinal beams or pipes.
B. A triangular bulkhead is 7 m wide at the top and has a vertical depth of 8 m. Calculate the load on the
bulkhead and the position of centre of pressure if the bulkhead if flooded with sea water on only side - (i) to the
top edge; (ii) with 4 m head to the top edge.

B. The draughts of a ship 170m long are 6.8.5 m forward and 7.50m aft MCTI cm 300 tonn m; TPC 28; LCF
3.5m forward of midships. Calculate the new draughts after the following changes in loading have taken place.
160 tonne added 63 m aft of midships
200 tonne added 27m forward of midships
120 tonne removed 75 m aft of midships
70 tonne removed 16 m aft of midships

Q8. A. Explain the reasons for fitting bulbous bow.

B. When a ship is 800 nautical miles from port its speed is reduced by 20%, thereby reducing the daily fuel
consumption by 42 tonne and arriving in port with 50 tonne on board. If the fuel consumption in t/h is given by
the expression (0.136+0.001 V3) where V is the speed in knots, estimate:
(i) The reduced consumption per day; (ii) The amount of fuel on board when the speed was reduced;
(iii) The percentage decrease in consumption for the latter part of the voyage;
(iv) The percentage increases in time for this latter period.

Q9. A. Explain what is meant by singing of propeller.

B. A propeller 6m diameter has a pitch ratio of 0.9, BAR 0.48 and, when turning at 110 rev/min, has a real slip
of 25% and wake faction 10.30. If the propeller delivers a thrust of 300 KN and the propeller efficiency is 0.65
calculate - i Blade area; ii Ship speed; iii. Thrust power; iv Shaft power v. Torque

Q10. A. Describe measures which may be taken to improve the stability or trim of a damaged ship.
B. A ship 85m long displaces 8100 tonne when floating in seawater at draughts of 5.25m forward and 5.55m aft.
TPC 9.0, GML 96m, LCF 2m aft of midships. It is decided to introduce water ballast to completely submerge the
propeller and a draught aft of 5.85m is required. A ballast tank 33m aft of midships is available. Find the least
amount of water required and the final draught forward.
