Heel: A Vessel Is Said To Be Heeling When The

This document defines various nautical terms related to ship stability and design. It explains that heel is caused by external forces like wind, while list is caused by internal weight shifts. It also defines key metrics like gross and net tonnage, displacement, block and waterplane coefficients, and the differences between length measurements. Finally, it outlines concepts such as intact and damage stability, and the locations of the center of buoyancy and gravity.

heel / list

Heel: A vessel is said to be heeling when the


upsetting moments are caused by external agents,
for example:
Beam winds.
Heel due to a high speed turn.
Heel due to a missile shot in transverse direction
(in warships).
list / trim

List : A ship is said to be in a condition of list


when the upsetting moments are caused by
internal shift of weight that can be caused due to
the following actions:
Shift of cargo within the ship.
Free surface effects.
Crowding of passengers on one side of the ship.
Asymmetrical icing on the superstructure.
Gross Tonnage / Net Tonnage
The gross tonnage is a function of the moulded The net tonnage is produced by a formula
volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship.  which is a function of the moulded volume
of all cargo spaces of the ship.
deadweight
Lightship / displacement
The total weight of
the vessel, machinery
etc that stays on the
vessel and cannot be
moved, (stores, fuel
water etc not
included)

Displacement
This is the cargo, stores water, fuel that Is the total weight of the vessel equal to the water it
you've taken aboard displaces
(Displacement = Lightship + deadweight
Block Coefficient / Water Plane Coefficient
The block coefficient of a ship at any particular It is the ratio of the actual area of the waterplane to the product
draft is the ratio of the volume of displacement at of the length and breadth of the ship.
that draft to the volume of a rectangular block
having the same overall length, breadth, and
depth.
