Why are there different load lines for the seasons?
In colder weather the density of water increases slightly. The change is enough that an object the size of a ship can be loaded with more and still not be heavy enough to overload the ship. In summer the opposite occur.

Why ship doenot sink in ocean?
Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.
What is a large flat bottom ship?
Scow
How does the magnesium prevents the steel boiler from rusting?
It will stop rusting because of something called cathode protection. Because the magnesium is more reactive than the steel the electricity need to cause oxidation is drawn to the magnesium leaving the steel unable oxidize. The same principle is used on large ships. I you look at a cruse ship or a tanker you will see large blocks on the outside of the hull that most people think is to keep the side of the ship from hitting when they dock, but they actually protect the hull of the ship in the same way.
How do you get to Nunavut?
You can get to Nunavut by an airplane, boat, ship during the summer or by a snowmobile during the winter.
Which ship displaces more water 1 loaded with a cargo of corks which float or a empty one?
If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.
Why should there be more than one plimsoll line?
There is ONLY one legal Plimsoll Line, the International load line, which is a marking on a ship's side showing the limit of legal submersion when loaded with cargo under various sea conditions. However, depending on the temperature and salinity of the water on which the ship is floating the position of this line (which represents the weight of water displaced by the hull) will vary. So the line is graduated into:- The American Bureau of Shipping (AB) Line/ Summer Load line (S) The Tropical Freshwater (TF) line The freshwater Load line (F) The tropical Zones load line (T) The Winter Load Line (W) Winter North Atlantic Load Line (WNA) Thus if a ship were loaded to the TF line in tropical Freshwater then moved to the North Atlantic in winter with the same cargo loaded, it should float at the correct line in both conditions.

What will be the effect of displaced water if load is added into ship float in ocean?
More water will be displaced equal to the load placed on the ship as long as the ship continues to float. This is not equal in volume, but equal in mass to that of the load.
How long does it take to sail from canary Islands to Russia?
Depends how, when and which way you go. Are we talking cruise ship in summer or dinghy in winter?
How is buoyancy applied in navigation?
Buoyancy has more to do with how you load a ship than how you would navigate it.
How many metric tons in a ship load?
That depends on the size of the ship.
How can you load a ship?
use a crane at a dock
Will a ship ride higher in inland freshwater lake or in the ocean?
Ocean. The ship will ride higher in salt water than fresh in water. There is a load line on the side of ships to tell you how deep you can load the ship. You can load the ship deeper if it is in fresh water because it will come up when it gets to the ocean.
What are other names used for waterline?
The Plimsoll Line, a possible name, is the line on a ship when the water level is at on the hull of the ship. It is more commonly known as the International Load Line.
What do you call a ship's load in six letters?
lading
