  1. Fishing Vessel Stability and the E-Simulator Project Jack Greenham Dip.N.S,FM1,ON1,BMS Marine Institute

  2. Alarming Statistics “…the fatality rate on fishing vessels [in Canada] between 15 and 150 tonne (classed as small fishing vessels) is 32 per 100,000 fishers per year”

  3. NL Tragedies • NL Statistics: • 1999 until 2008 ….32 fatalities • Many attributed to stability issues

  4. Introduction to Basic Stability Principles Basic stability concepts as it applies to fishing vessels – Practical application --

  5. Buoyancy, Gravity and GZ

  6. Lightship Curve

  7. Weight Creep

  8. Improper Ballasting

  9. Port Departure Condition

  10. Arrival at Grounds – 75% Consumables

  11. Catch on Deck and Towing

  12. Gear Hooked Bottom

  13. E – Simulator Demo Video

  14. E – Simulator Program Interactive features Multimedia - DVD and web based Promote awareness and understanding Realistic experience in safe learning environment

  15. E – Simulator Program Program in Modular format Introduction/Orientation Module I: Why the Vessel Floats: Basic Concepts Module II: Vessel Behaviour: Core Concepts Module III: Seamanship and Stability and Stability: Operating Safely Module IV: Keeping Stable: How Changes to the Vessel Affect Stability Module V: Ensuring a Stable Vessel: Construction and Regulation Module VI: Managing Stability: Stability Booklet and Conditions of Load

  16. E – Simulator Program Introduction: Overview of importance of stability Look at some statistics Examples of accidents and consequences Introduction on how to use simulator How to manipulate on screen objects Pull down menus & downloadable documents Help features and technical assistance

  17. E – Simulator Program Module I: Centres of Gravity and Buoyancy Metacentre GZ lever Equilibrium Stiff and tender ships
