Note: For many vessels the vertical position of the centroid of the underwater lateral area may be taken at half the draft to the underside of the keel at amidships.

( b ) The heeling lever due to the effect of wind at 40° is to be given by:

0.8 (heeling lever due to the effect of wind at 0°).

( c ) The heeling lever curve is to be taken as a straight line joining the heeling lever at 0° and the heeling lever at 40°.

ILLUSTRATION OF STABILITY REQUIREMENTS


(metres) Angle of heel Angle of floodingor 40 — whichever is least

where:

(i) OW is the heeling lever at 0° due to wind;

(ii) WW1 is the heeling lever curve due to wind;

(iii) WL is the heeling lever at 0° due to the shift of cattle;

(iv) LL1 is the heeling lever curve due to the combined effects of the wind and the shift of cattle;

(v) LF is the heeling lever at 0° due to the effect of shift of fodder;

(vi) FF1 is the heeling lever curve due to the combined effects of wind and the shift of cattle and fodder; and

(vii) é is the angle of heel due to wind.

Note: If fodder is not pellet feed carried in bulk, the heeling lever due to shift of fodder will be zero.

B. Information to be Provided on Vessel

The following stability information should be provided on the vessel:

( a ) Cattle shift constant;

The cattle shift constant is to be determined for all conditions of pen utilization that may arise in practice unless the maximum value is used for all calculations.

( b ) Heeling Moment for Fodder:

The heeling moment for each compartment is to be determined separately unless the greatest heeling moment for all compartments added together is provided: that is, the total heeling moment for the worst condition of stability.

( b ) Wind effect:

The values of A and H will vary with the draft of the vessel. Values therefore are to be provided for the range of drafts that may occur in practice or alternatively the wind effect

[image omitted] may be given in tabular or graphical form.

C. Method of Calculations

The following method of calculation may be used to demonstrate compliance. (Other methods may be used).

( a ) Information required:


Cattle shift constant	= C (from vessel's information)
Average Mass of cattle per animal	= m (from shipper's declaration)
Floor area per animal	= f (from table in Article 28)
Fodder heeling moment	= F (from vessel's information)
Stowage factor of fodder	= S (from master)
Lateral area of vessel above waterline	= A (from vessel's information)
Verticle separation of centroids	= H (from vessel's information)
Wind pressure	= P (0.05 tonnes/square metre)
Displacement	= D (from vessel's information)
GM	= GM (from vessel's information)
Moulded breadth	= B (from vessel's information)

( b ) Calculation:

(i) Cattle:

Heeling lever at 0° = [image omitted]

(ii) Fodder:

Heeling lever at 0° = [image omitted]

(iii) Wind:

Heeling lever at 0° = [image omitted]

(iv) Angle of heel due to wind:

Angle of heel = [image omitted]

(v) roll period:

In calculating the stability of the vessel, the use of fuel oil, fresh water and fodder, the movement of ballast and the build up of waste material shall be taken into account.

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Order lays down regulations for the carriage of cattle by sea from the State. It provides for the inspection and approval of cattle vessels which comply with specified criteria, the loading and care of cattle on vessels, conditions in relation to weather and the submission of voyage reports.
