FLP2524 Diploma in Marine Surveying
Covering Modules Six and Seven
1 15% In your own words, describe the role of Marine Safety Investigating States with
regards to a very serious marine Casualty as defined by the Casualty
Investigation Code.
2 15% List five legal rights of the surveyor being interviewed by the Marine Safety

the surveyor and to the Investigation outcome.
3 Select a recent marine system failure that has attracted your Interest. Collect
information relating to the failure from different sources such as reports,
statements, newspapers, magazines or journals. Include these sources with
your answer.
A: 15% Name and draw a systems map to include all of the important
components mentioned in the sources. Organise them into
environmental factors, wider system factors and the system
understudy.

system map. Remember to include only those items for which
evidence
exists.
C: 20% Write a short factual report based on your SFD
4 10% A ship of length 180 m and beam 20 m floats at a mean draught
of 8.5 m when in water of density 1.025 tonnes/m3.
Assuming her block coefficient is 0.5 and her waterplane
coefficient of fineness is 0.6, calculate the ship’s displacement
and her approximate draught when it enters water of density1.010 tonnes/m3. Continued…/
5 10% A ship of 8,000 tonnes floats at a draught of 7 m with a freeboard
of 4 m. A uniform weight of 65 tonnes on the deck is 4 m high
and it is to be lifted by a crane with its suspension point 12 m
above the deck. If the original KB = 4.25 m, KG = 6.75 m and KM
= 7.65 m, find the reduction in GM when the crane lifts the weight
from the deck.
