Understanding Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) | Ship Stability Tutorial
In this video, we explain the concept of Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) and its importance in ship stability and trim. Learn how LCG shifts when weights are moved, how to read LCG values from a stability booklet, and what positive and negative LCG values mean.
The Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) is the longitudinal distance—either forward or aft—from a chosen reference point, typically from midships, or from the aft perpendicular.
