Change of Trim

This document provides formulas for calculating changes in trim, draught, and displacement for a ship. It defines trim as the difference between initial and final draught forward and aft. The trimming moment equals the weight shifted multiplied by the distance and can be used to calculate the change in trim. It also provides formulas for calculating changes in draught forward, draught aft, mean draught, and displacement based on factors like weight loaded/unloaded, density changes, and the positions of the longitudinal center of gravity and buoyancy.

Mariner's Formulae Quick reference guide Change of Trim

CHANGE OF TRIM
- the difference between initial trim and final trim i.e. change of draught forward + change
of draught aft
Trimming Moment = Weight x Distance shifted = W x d [tonnes.metre]

Change of Trim, t = Trimming Moment [metre]


100 x MCT.1cm

MCT.1cm = Moment To Change Trim by 1 cm

= Δ x GM L [tonnes.metre]
100 x L

≅ Δ x BM L [as GML is small when compared with BML]


100 x L

where Δ = displacement [tonnes]

GM L = Longitudinal Metacentric Height

BM L = height of the longitudinal metacentre, ML


above centre of buoyancy, B

GML = KB + BML - KG [metre]

where BML = long. 2nd mmt of waterplane about centre of flotation, F


volume of displacement

= I L [metre]
V

Change of draught aft, ta = l a x change of trim [metre]


L

Change of draught forward, tf = l f x change of trim [metre]


L

Change in mean draught = Weight loaded or discharged [metre]


TPC

TPC = Tonnes per Centimetre Immersion

= Aw x ρ
100

where Aw = area of waterplane [metre2]


= L x B x Cw (waterplane area coefficient)

ρ = density of sea water [tonnes per metre3]

LARGE CHANGE IN DISPLACEMENT

Trimming Moment = Δ x (longitudinal separation LCG and LCB)

where LCG = Longitudinal centre of gravity [metre]

LCB = Longitudinal centre of buoyancy [metre]

CHANGE IN DENSITY
Change in Mean draught due to change in density = Δ x (ρ1 - ρ2)
Aw (ρ1.ρ2)

Trimming Moment = Δ x (horizontal shift of LCB)

or (mass of layer of water added or removed due to change in density) x


(horizontal distance between initial LCB & final LCF of waterplane)
