2.1 Livestock shift constant

The livestock shift constant is to be determined for all conditions of pen utilisation that may arise in practice, unless the maximum value is used for all calculations.

Note The livestock shift constant will vary for different configurations of pen utilisation eg. the constant will vary depending on the species of livestock carried.

2.2 Heeling moment for fodder

The heeling moment for fodder must be provided by either:

1. determining separately the heeling moment for each compartment; or
2. determining the greatest heeling moment for all compartments added together.

Note The greatest heeling moment for all compartments added together is also the total heeling moment for the worst condition of stability.

2.3 Wind effect

For subclause 1.3(1):

(a) A and H will vary with the draft of the vessel; and

(i) their values must be given for the range of drafts that may occur in practice; or

(ii) the heeling lever due to the effect of wind at 0 may be given in tabular or graphical form.
