6.2.2 Large Vessel No. 11
Subsequently Vessel No. 11 is analysed in the same way. Its main dimensions can be found in
appendix A.11. The oating condition shown in table 6.7 is set for Vessel No. 11. The KG
and therefore the GM solid are again randomly varied in the range of GM solid CE of the Chicago
Express during the accident. The displacement, drafts and trim in this oating condition are
kept constant. They also comply with the values of the Chicago Express in its accident .
The resulting compilation of loading conditions, consisting of the mentioned oating condition
and a varied GM solid value, is then used to determine the respective seakeeping behavior.
