- To provide an understanding as to how the hydrostatics particulars of a ship’s hull are derived and to furnish participants with sufficient knowledge for them to calculate their own hydrostatic information should the need arise, and
- To provide some practical knowledge of stability for participants to use in their seagoing careers or when dealing with the operational considerations relating to the safety of ships.
Duration
The course must be completed within 1 year of the commencement date.
