    1) Displacement can be described in two ways: as the mass of water displaced by a floating ship or as the total weight of the ship including the hull, machinery, and everything onboard. 2) Displacement is represented by the symbol Δ and measured in tonnes. It increases as the draft increases due to an equal increase in the mass of water displaced. 3) Deadweight is the difference between the light displacement and load displacement of a ship and includes cargo, fuel, stores, and ballast that bring the ship to its summer load line draft.

    Displacement
    DISPLACEMENT
    Can be described in two ways:
    (1) First, by way of displaced water. The displacement of a
    floating ship is equal to mass of water which the submerged
    portion of the ship displaces, (Archimedes Principle)

    (2) Secondly, by accounting weights. Displacement is the


    weight of the ship, denoting the weight of the hull and
    machineries, including everything and everyone onboard.
    DISPLACEMENT
    Can be described in two ways:

    (1) Displacement = Underwater volume of the ship x density

    (2) Displacement = Light Displacement + Deadweight


    DISPLACEMENT
    represented by the symbol ∆
    measured in tonnes
    when the mass of a ship changes, the mass of water displaced
    changes an equal amount
    when displacement increases, the draft also increases

    draft of 9.81m,
    find the approx
    amt. of cargo to
    be discharged to
    bring the draft to
    9.70m
    DISPLACEMENT
    Load Displacement – is the mass of the ship floating even keel
    at her summer load line in salt water (summer displacement)

    Light Displacement – is the mass of the ship when floating with


    no cargo fuel, stores or any other weights not forming part of
    the hull or machinery or fixed equipment of the ship. (lightship
    or lightweight)
    DISPLACEMENT
    Deadweight (DWT) - is the difference between light
    displacement and load displacement.
    • Equal to the amount of cargo, fuel, fuel stores, ballast, etc.
    which when added to he light displacement, will bring the
    ship to her summer mark

    • Deadweight = Displacement - Lightweight


    DISPLACEMENT
    Deadweight (DWT) – besides the cargo includes items called
    weights on board, deductibles, or non-cargo weights:
    ▪ Fuel Oils
    ▪ Diesel Oils
    ▪ Lube Oils
    ▪ Ballasts
    ▪ Fresh Water
    ▪ Stores
    ▪ Constant or any weights not forming part of the cargo

    Deadweight = Displacement – Lightweight


    Or
    Deadweight = Cargo weight + non cargo weights

    Activity :
    5. Find the DWT
    for the drafts
    at 9.5m and
    9.7m (SW)
    DISPLACEMENT
    TPC ( Tonnes Per Centimetre Immersion)
    “Defined as the amount of weight in tons required to change
    the draft by 1 cm”
    • If the vessel is boxed shaped, it would have the same TPC value
    irrespective of its draft
    • Ships vary in shape as their draft changes and consequently the
    TPC will vary as the draft changes.
    • By using TPC we can convert a change in draft to an amount of
    weight in tonnes.
    DISPLACEMENT

    TPC at draft of
    9.6m

    Block Coefficient (Cb)
    “The Ratio of the underwater volume of the ship to the
    volume of the block”

    The purpose of the Cb is to measure the ship’s underwater


    “fineness” and it is often used in the application of regulation,
    such as those governing its freeboard or strength.
    DISPLACEMENT
    Block Coefficient (Cb)
    Cb = underwater volume

    Activity:
    1. A ship’s length at the waterline is 120m when floating on an
    even keel at a draft of 4.5m. The maximum beam is 20m. If
    the ship’s block coefficient is 0.75, find the displacement in
    tonnes at this draft in salt water. (Answer: 8,302.5 tonnes)
