Namely that hydrostatic balancing of the cross-connected fuel tanks occurred because the cross-overs were left open, and that ballasting operations were undertaken to correct the list without first knowing what was causing the list.

Hydrostatic Equilibrium : " In fluid mechanics, a fluid is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium or hydrostatic balance when it is at rest, or when the flow velocity at each point is constant over time.

The Latin poem " Carmen de ponderibus et mensuris " of the 4th or 5th century describes the use of a hydrostatic balance to solve the problem of the crown, and attributes the method to Archimedes.
14.
With improper ballast operations causing a substantial port list, fuel inadvertently began to flow by gravity ( hydrostatic balancing ) from starboard to port, thereby increasing the severity of the list and eventually causing the aft deck to become awash.

Intertanko will also during this period, conduct full-day courses on media, chartering and bunkering training as well as seminars on hedging / tanker freight futures, the appliance of hydrostatic balance loading and the ISM code after the July 1 1998 implementation date.

Lastly, shown are models of three out of five of Archimedes'so called " simple machines " ( lever, inclined plane, wedge, screw and wheel ), several hydrostatic balances to demonstrate Archimedes'law and two " tables of forces " which demonstrate interactions of forces in a horizontal plane.
