AIGF Exit Exam • Set 10 Question 14 of 30

The accelerations acting on tanks shall be estimated at their centre of gravity and includes which type of components?

✓

Direct Answer

Option A: All the above

Accelerations acting on fuel tanks are calculated at the center of gravity, incorporating transverse, vertical, and longitudinal components. These include sway, yaw, roll, heave, pitch, and surge motions, along with gravity components. This comprehensive analysis is essential for verifying structural strength against dynamic forces in heavy seas.

All Options

All the above (Correct Answer)

transverse acceleration: motion accelerations of sway, yaw and roll and gravity component of roll

vertical acceleration: motion accelerations of heave, pitch and, possibly roll

longitudinal acceleration: motion accelerations of surge and pitch and gravity component of pitch

Detailed Explanation & Context

Relevant Framework: STCW 2010 Manila Amendments • DG Shipping E-Learning & Exit Exam Standards • Advanced Training for Ships subject to the IGF Code (AIGF).
