MAXIMUM RADIUS OF SWING - WHEN DROPPING ANCHOR


Drogheda Anchorage

LOA DEPTH SHACKLES MAX. RADIUS OF SWING

100 67.0 8 1.67


meters meters cables

vessel's position
anchor's dropped
point

GIVEN:
L.O.A. : 100 meters
WATER DEPTH: 67.0 meters
CHAIN LENGTH: 8 shackles
220 meters

MAXIMUM RADIUS OF SWING CALCULATION:


Officers Signatures: b2 = c2 - a2 Max. Radius of Swing = LOA + b
b = square root (c2 - a2) = 100 + 209.55
b = square root ( 220 2 - 67 2 ) = 309.55 meters
EDUARD VICOL EMIL RADUCAN b = square root ( 48400.00 - 4489 ) Max. Radius of Swing = 1.67 cables
2nd Officer Chief Officer b = square root 43911.00
b= 209.55 meters
Where: c = is the length of chain in meters
Noted by: a = is the depth of water in meters

LPG/C LINDA KOSAN

FLUSHING TRIANGLE ANCHORAGE


LOA DEPTH SHACKLES MAX. RADIUS OF SWING

73.58 18.6 5 1.13


meters meters cables

vessel's position
anchor's dropped
point

GIVEN:
L.O.A. : 73.58 meters
WATER DEPTH: 18.6 meters
CHAIN LENGTH: 5 shackles
137.5 meters

MAXIMUM RADIUS OF SWING CALCULATION:


Officers Signatures: b2 = c2 - a2 Max. Radius of Swing = LOA + b
b = square root (c2 - a2) = 73.58 + 136.24
b = square root ( 137.5 2 - 18.6 2 ) = 209.82 meters
EDUARD VICOL EMIL RADUCAN b = square root ( 18906.25 - 345.96 ) Max. Radius of Swing = 1.13 cables
2nd Officer Chief Officer b = square root 18560.29
b= 136.24 meters
Where: c = is the length of chain in meters
Noted by: a = is the depth of water in meters
