Best Answer

RO-RO ferries have large open decks (car decks) without any sub division or bulkheads. Hence a small amount of water would be able to impart a significant free surface effect.

What is free surface in stability?

Free surface in stability refers to the unconfined surface of a liquid on board a vessel that can cause instability. When a vessel rolls or pitches, the liquid's inertia can lead to shifting, creating a destabilizing effect. To prevent this, it is important to minimize free surface by properly securing liquid cargoes and maintaining proper vessel stability.


What is the effect of slack tank?

As the vessel rolls the fluid in any slack tanks can shift to the low side moving the center of gravity towards that side. This is called the free surface effect. When the CG shifts it reduces the righting moment making the vessel more unstable.

Do gases have free surface?

Gases cannot form a free surface on their own. However, gases do have a free surface at the boundary between gas and liquid, such as the free surface of the sea, or the boundary between the liquid of a soft drink and each carbon dioxide bubble rising in it.


What is the free surface?

The free surface is the boundary separating a moving fluid from the atmosphere above it. This is typically found in open bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, where the water is exposed to the air above it. The free surface is influenced by factors such as gravity, surface tension, and fluid dynamics.
