As far as portion (B) is concerned, the three configurations reported in Table 

 8 have been selected, named, respectively, type B^ , B^, and B3. Configuration 

 Bi may properly represent the standard hull weight distribution between engine- 

 room bulkhead and collision bulkhead. 



Table 8 

 Configurations Selected for Portion B in Fig. 10 



As far as portion (C) is concerned, that obviously represents hold cargo, it 

 consists of three parts, C3 , Cg , and c^ , respectively; these parts correspond 

 to noncontinuous distribution along holds length L^ divided into 3, 5, or 7 holds, 

 having the following characteristics: 



even holds of equal length; 



odd holds of equal length; 



equal loading heights in even holds; 



equal loading heights in odd holds. 



The definition of distribution type C is given in Tables 9 and 10, where 

 reference is made to symbols of Table 11. In case that in particular r^ = 1 

 ( i = 3, 5, 7), values of h^ and k. will become as simplified, as in Table 12. 



The final distribution is given by relationships reported in Table 13, where, 

 it is proper to underline, C3 , C5, and C7 are distributions characterized by 

 the same equatorial moment of inertia j^, previously assumed. 



In conclusion, to the aim of defining a weights distribution it is necessary 

 to fix the following values 



^^^ ^AD' ^AD' "av ^av 



(B) Hs 



(C) r3, rg, r^, a, f3, 7, j 



For instance, in the case of Fig. 10, the following values were assumed: 



(A) type Aj 



(B) type B^ 



(C) r3= 1; rg = 1.5; r^ = 1; a = 1/3; ^ = 1/3; 7 = 1/3; j = 0.73
