Summary of Guide4.1 Determination of Weight and Moment DataTheweight and moment data for all components and material andtheir overall effect on th
22、e ships weight, center of gravity, list,and trim should be determined. As ship design or shipconstruction drawings are prepared and as material is selected,acquired, or received, the weight and centers of gravity of allitems that comprise the ship should be determined and reportedin the weight estim
23、ates and reports. These data may beobtained by estimation or calculation during preliminary andcontract design, by a combination of estimation or calculationof ship construction drawings, and by actual weight determi-nation of items during detail design and construction.4.2 Weight Reporting and Cont
24、rolThe procedures forweight reporting and control, regardless of the level ofreporting, are described in Section 6 and apply for commercialships. The method and frequency of weight reporting can varydepending on the specific ship design, as well as the technicalrequirements set forth in the contract
25、. The extent and level ofweight control also can vary depending on the specific shipdesign. Although the weight control technical requirements forcommercial ships usually are less demanding than those forU.S. Navy surface ships, the need for a mechanism to controlthe weight of a ship still exists. S
26、ections S1 S4 describe thespecific weight control technical requirements for U.S. Navysurface ships.5. Significance and Use5.1 It is important to know the amount of weight and itslocation before the ship is built to be sure that when it is builtit will have positive stability. Only through detailed
27、weightestimating in the design stage and during construction can onebe ensured that positive stability will be achieved and retained.6. Procedure6.1 A specified number of calendar days, that is, 30, 45, 60,or 90 after date of award, as specified by the owner, theshipbuilder should submit for agreeme
28、nt an independentweight and center of gravity estimate. This estimate shoulddescribe the weight and centers of gravity of the ship incomprehensive detail and should include summaries and worksheets showing the detailed work performed, for example,calculations and estimates based on the design inform
29、ation,drawings, specification, and so forth. Appendix X1 containssuggested forms for the independent estimate, and it includes asuggested weight classification system for the estimate. Termsused in the weight classification are defined in the MaritimeAdministration Publication, Classification of Mer
30、chant ShipWeights.36.2 A mutual agreement between the shipbuilder and theowner on the light ship weight and centers of gravity should bereached as quickly as possible after award of the shipbuildingcontract. Agreement action should consist of a review ofshipbuilders independent weight and center of
31、gravity esti-mates and comparison with the owners estimate. Upon reso-lution of differences, an agreed upon weight and center ofgravity estimate will result. Thereafter, the shipbuilder shouldbe responsible for obtaining in the completed vessel the agreedupon weight and center of gravity characteris
32、tics adjusted forauthorized departures from the contracted ship design, re-flected in the agreed upon estimate.6.3 Departures from the contracted ship design, reflected inthe agreed upon estimate, which affect the light ship weightand centers of gravity, should not be undertaken until theshipbuilder
33、 has submitted to the owner his estimate of theeffect on weight and centers of gravity of the ship and obtainedwritten approval to proceed with the department. Departures,which have a total impact on any weight group of less than aspecified percentage, that is, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, or 0.04 % of theligh
34、t ship weight, may be considered negligible and will notrequire written approval with respect to weight.6.4 The shipbuilder should submit periodically, as agreedupon, to the owner, a tabulation of approved departures andtheir cumulative effect on weight and centers of gravity of theagreed light ship
35、 estimate. In addition, when submitting plansthat involve departures from the type of construction in thecontracted ship design, reflected in the estimate, the shipbuildershould itemize such departures and their effect on light shipweight and centers of gravity in his periodic reports. A finalreport
36、 should be submitted at the time of delivery adjusted tobring the estimated light ship weight and centers of gravity intoreasonable agreement with the inclining experiment results.3U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration Classification ofMerchant Ship Weights, January 1985.
