Function: Controlling The Operation of The Ship & Care For Persons On Board at Operational Level

This document contains an examination for a Marine Engineer Officer Class IV. It has two sections, with 10 multiple choice and problem solving questions in total. Candidates are instructed to answer 6 questions, with at least 2 from each section. Section 1 contains questions about brittle fracture of materials, corrosion prevention in ship tanks, spectacle frames on twin screw ships, and tank arrangements. Section 2 asks questions about ship stability calculations, propeller slip calculations, load calculations on a box barge, and center of gravity calculations involving fuel tank transfers.

(Time allowed - 3hours)

India (2003) Afternoon Paper Total Marks 100

NB : (1) Answer SIX Questions :


SECTION -1 :- Answer atleast TWO Questions
SECTION -2 :- Answer atleast TWO Questions
(2) All Questions carry equal marks
(3) Neatness in handwriting and clarity in expression carries weightage
(4) Illustration of an Answer with clear sketches / diagrams carries weightage.

SECTION – 1

1. (a) Describe in detail how brittle fracture is instrumental in causing failure of


materials.
(b) Describe how a material is tested to assess the resistance to this type of failure.
(c) Suggest where this type of failure would be likely and explain how the
likelihood of failure is reduced.

2. Water ballast tanks of dry cargo ships and cargo tanks of oil tankers may be protected
from corrosion by sacrificial anodes.
(a) Describe how the anodes prevent corrosion.
(b) (i) State THREE suitable materials that can be sued for anodes.
(ii) State any restriction on the use of these materials as anodes in oil tankers.

3. (a) Explain why a Spectacle Frame and Boss Plates are fitted to twin screw ships.
(b) Make a simple sketch of a Spectacle Frame showing how it is attached to the ship
structure and to the Boss Plates.

4. Describe the arrangement of tank top and double bottom in the machinery space
making particular reference to the structure and scantlings below the main engine.
Show the method adopted in the arrangement of D.B. tanks to avoid contamination of
fresh water, fuel oil and lube oil stored in D.B. tanks.
5. Pitching is angular motion of the vessel about which axis?
(A) Longitudinal
(B) Transverse
(C) Vertical
(D) Centerline
Briefly justify your answer:

SECTION – 2

6. A ship of 15000 tonne displacement has a waterplane area of 1950 m2. It is loaded in
river water of 1.005 t/m3 and proceeds to sea where the density is 1.022 t/m3.
Calculate the change in mean draught.

7. A ship travels at 14 knots when the propeller, 5 m pitch, turns at 105 rev/min. If the
wake fraction is 0.35, calculate the apparent and real slip.

8. A box barge is 15 m long, 6 m wide and floats in water of 1.016 t/m 2 at a draught of 3
m.150 tonne of cargo is now added. Calculate the load exerted by the water on the
sides, ends and bottom.

9. A ship 120 m long, 17 m beam and 7.2 m draught has a block coefficient of 0.76. A
parallel section 6 m long is added to the ship amidship. The midship sectional area
coefficient is 0.96. Find the new displacement and block coefficient.

10. A ship has a displacement of 9800 tonne. 120 tonne of oil fuel are moved from an
after tank to a forward tank. The centre of gravity of the ship moves 0.75 m forward.
The forward tank already contains 320 tonne of oil fuel and after the transfer 420
tonne of fuel are used. The centre of gravity of the ship now moves to a new position
0.45 m aft of the vessel’s original centre of gravity. Find the distance from the ship’s
original centre of gravity to the centre of gravity of each tank.
