CHAMCO INDUSTRIES Project 2004-037 <br />#M&FtLION Barge for <br />°' HENDERSON MILL October 26, 2005 <br />TRIM & STABILITY REPORT <br />Characteristics ofthe barge were developed by normal computer calculation methods, for low- <br />angle heeling only, utilizing information currently available, and undemoted results selected for <br />the guidance of operators.. <br />The discharge end of the barge is defined as the end where the discharge pipe is located.. The inlet <br />end is opposite. The left side is to the left as one is facing the discharge end of the barge (top of <br />the drawing). <br />Imperial measure is utilized throughout with weights and displacements in Long Ions of' 2240 <br />Ibs, except that ballast figures are given in litres <br />Freeboards are quoted, ('To nearest Vs"), in either feet & inches, or inches, to the top of the steel <br />deck at all four corners.. (MEASURED FROM PONTOON DECK DOWN TO WATER <br />SURFACE AT OUTSIDE CORNERS OF BARGE).. <br />Draft is measured, in Feet, from the underside of the Bottom Shell to the waterline.. <br />Depth of ballast as noted on the sketches is measured from the bottom of the tank to the surface <br />of the ballast. <br />Trim is shown in Inches on the 44 foot length.. Heel is shown in inches on the 14'-0" half-breadth. <br />Heel over the full width is twice that shown. <br />Transverse and Longitudinal Metacentric Heights, (GMT and GML, the measures of initial, <br />upright stability), are given in Feet and include the effect of'slack liquid in the Ballast Tanks.. <br />Weight of liquids entrained in piping is included as necessary. <br />Specific gravity of the pond is assumed to be 1.000.. <br />Page 2 of '8
