Ship Stability Video 98: Damage Stability- Damage involving hold & double bottom
In my opinion, the Master of a ship must take personal interest in understanding various ifs and buts of damage stability calculations. The entire crew looks up to Master for an able guidance in the bilging situations. The most important contribution of the constant displacement method in a bilging calculation is to find an accurate sinkage. A mariner must also understand that a ship may be constructed in different ways and damage could occur in different areas. The effect of the variations on residual stability must be understood. Capt. S.S. Chaudhari, in this video explains the procedure to be used in the bilging calculations involving two compartments with different permeabilities.
