> INCLINING EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
>
> SEATRAN FERRY -- 4
>
> All the tanks should be full or empty
> Un-necessary objects /equipment should be removed other than objects that should be containing in lightship.
> Sounding measurement of all tanks to be taken before the experiment.
> List of materials to be taken off including weight and center of gravity to be prepared after inclining experiment.
> List of materials to be installed including weight and center of gravity to be prepared after inclining experiment.
> Two U-tubes are to be fitted at car deck at frame no. 30&58 respectively at Long: BHD 5.4m O.C.L. (P&S)
> Four weight group of 8 T each to be prepared on car deck, 4.5m O.C.L., between frame no.35 & 55 , two in port side and other two in STBD side.

> Movement/Levels of U-tubes changes are to be recorded for every step.
> Draft mark reading is to be made before inclining test.(only once, draft mark reading during experiment is not needed)
> Movement of the weigh groups is to be made with 10 T fork Lift, own weight of the fork lift is to be measured, position of fork lift is at centre line and re-locate its original position after movement.
> In addition to this, experiment should be follow as attached IACS recommendation for Inclining test and IMO Intact Stability Code as follows.
>
> 2.1 Free surface and tankage
