Summary of Guide4.1 Determination of Weight and Moment DataTheweight and moment data for all components and material andtheir overall effect on the ships weight, center of gravity, list,a
22、nd 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 estimates and reports. These data may beobtain
23、ed 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 ControlThe procedures forweight reporting and
24、 control, regardless of the level of report-ing, are described in Section 6 and apply for commercial ships.The method and frequency of weight reporting can varydepending on the specific ship design, as well as the technicalrequirements set forth in the contract. The extent and level ofweight control
25、 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. Sections S1 S4 describe thespecific weigh
26、t 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 weightestimating in the design stage and
27、 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 agreement an independentweight and center of gr
28、avity 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 information,drawings, specification, and so fo
29、rth. 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 Merchant ShipWeights.36.2 A mutual agreemen
30、t 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 gravity esti-mates and comparison with t
31、he 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 characteristics adjusted forauthorized departures f
32、rom 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 has submitted to the owner his estimate
33、 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 thelight ship weight, may be considered negligi
34、ble 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 estimate. In addition, when submitting
35、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 should be submitted at the time of deli
