Methodical notes to the initial stability of the ship when moving cargo on its deck

The article discusses some provisions of the problem moving cargo on a ship within theory initial stability. It is indicated that presentation issue stability during transverse and longitudinal movement it in traditional textbooks not specific enough. If possible, reasons for occurrence non-specific moments are analyzed. proposed to present this task using clearer formulations its provisions. In particular, contrary existing opinion about immutability when carrying deck, clearly shows tilted due displacement center gravity will be greater than same straight state (with an unbiased gravity). And inextricably linked with subsequent change at large roll angles. materials help form better understanding ship's behavior small angles caused by eliminate from literature statics sometimes incorrect conclusions solving such transfer.
