Description
Summary:Efforts concern a program to record and analyze seaway induced accelerations at representative locations on a dry cargo vessel over a long period of time with a view toward establishing extreme values of accelerations which might be encountered by the vessel and to characterize the above acceleration data in terms which will be of direct assistance in predicting extreme values of load conditions to which cargo would be subjected. Seven accelerometers and an unmanned recording system were installed aboard the S. S. Wolverine State on regular North Atlantic service, and data were obtained over a period of 15 months. It is possible to make only general recommendations relative to control of cargo loads since this investigation was limited to a single ship-type and route. Conclusions and recommendations are presented. (Author) Report on Ship Response Statistics.
