METHOD OF STOWAGE OF CARGO ON BOARD SHIP Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: stowage of cargoes on board ship.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method consists in asymmetric stowage of cargoes and ballast along ship's length in midship section at which total mass in area x/L=0.25 is decreased and in area x/L=-0.25 it is increased by magnitude P₁; total mass in area x/L=0.5 is increased and total mass in area x/L=-0.5 is decreased by magnitude P₂relative to level corresponding to similar degree of filling the spaces with cargoes at similar cubic capacity of cargoes, where x is abscissa of CG of mass P₁ or P₂; L is ship's length; masses P₁ and P₂ by which loading is changed along ship's length and L₁ and L₂ are distances between their CG satisfying expression P₁L₁=P₂L₂.

EFFECT: reduction of total vertical bending moment; avoidance of damage to ship's hull.
