This document presents ballasting calculations to show the compatibility of badge/quary at extreme
conditions during PLEMS loadout. Calculations are based on the stowage plan provided.
The actual procedure may be modified at the fabrication site during the loadout to account for the
conditions encountered. This study serves to demonstrate that the barge can be ballasted to maintain an
acceptable configuration to keep barge stresses to acceptable levels

3.4 DESIGN SEA STATES FOR SEA TRANSPORTATION
Sea states used for this analysis are presented in Table 3 -6 – . The motion analyses are performed for 8
combined sea states. For each sea-state, wave’s incidences of 0, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270° and 315°
are checked and the full range of expected peak period is screened. Note that this is a shielded or river
transportation were swell does not exist. Only local sea wave generated are conservatively obtained from
Ref. [104] and [106]. The environment around the Eko Support Quayside and Dangote jetty is considered
to be dominated by wave of 10 years return period. The wave data are conservatively obtained from a
previous project which cover the same environmental data. The considered wave data used proved far
worse a weather condition for the Eko Support Quayside and Dangote jetty environment (which is
sheltered) since the previous project data were obtained from unsheltered location.

Note that MOSES uses an average period (T moses) as input for the wave spectrum defined as: T moses =
0.772* Tp. The minimum T moses input considered is 3.09 seconds. MOSES calculates the accelerations for
wave periods in 0.5 second intervals.

5 MOTION ANALYSIS FOR TRANSPORTATION
The motion analyses are performed for the sea states defined in “Hydrodynamic Analysis Design basis
NG00-N2-YBDES-00-86078” for months March to April. For each type of sea state, wave incidences of 0°
to 360° in every 45° were checked and the full range of expected peak period is screened.

The motion analysis calculation gives the most probable maximum longitudinal, transversal and vertical
forces applied on a 100 Metric-Tons mass moving with the barge at the centre of gravity of each cargo.

These longitudinal, transversal and vertical forces include the effect of weight component (g.sin θ),
rotational and horizontal accelerations.

The forces are output, in listings in Metric-Ton unit for a 100 Metric-Ton mass and then divided by 100,
in order to obtain longitudinal, transversal and vertical accelerations. The unit of results is then the
gravity acceleration (g).

The tables here below present the maximum accelerations obtained for each type of cargo from the
considered sea states.

Maximum vertical and horizontal accelerations may not be found for the same sea state peak period.
Using these accelerations in the same load case is conservative.

These accelerations are NOT inclusive of any safety factor.
