Stiff ship and tender ship     STIFF SHIP When a metacentric height and righting lever distance is large, Ship have excessive stability Ship will come to its normal upright position very quickly when its heeled. Tender ship When metacentric height and righting lever distance is very small.  Ships have less stability Ship will come to its  normal  upright position very slowly when its heeled. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STIFF SHIP & TENDER SHIP?

FREE SURFACE EFFECT

By -
  FREE SURFACE EFFECT Definition of free surface effect?     When a tank or compartment partially filled with liquid, when a ship is inclined. liquid will moves along with ship's inclined  direction. which will reduce the stability of the ship. How to reduce free surface effect : Swash bulkheads  Pocketing Surface permeability Sluice valves  Swash bulkheads This types of bulkheads give some additional strength, Which are longitudinal  bulkheads which will restrict the flow of liquid when ship is  inclined   Pocketing  fill the tank fully which will reduce the free surface effect Surface permeability The object such as machineries, engine and piping systems prevent the moving water  shifting of wedge, these reducing the free surface effect. Sluice valves  The large slack tanks are cross connected with sluice valves, it will reduce  the flow of the liquid so that it will reduce free surface effect.
