| The Format
of the stability booklet and the information included will vary dependent on
the vessel type and operation. Units of measure used in the stability booklet

deck loadings.
|
|
|
.4
|
Hydrostatic curves or tables.
|
|
|
.5
|
Capacity plan showing capacities and
vertical, longitudinal centers of gravity of stowage spaces and tanks.
|
|
|
.6
|
Tank sounding tables
showing capacities, vertical centers of gravity in graduated intervals and
showing free surface data for each tank.
|
|
|
.7
|
Information on loading
restrictions, such as a maximum KG of minimum GM curve that can be used to
determine compliance with applicable intact and damage stability criteria.
|
|
|
.8
|
Examples of loading
conditions.
