Motion Loads on Cargo or Containers on ship
Length perpendicular 
L bp = m
Breadth moulded
B = m
Depth moulded
D = m
draught (design)
d = m
Central of floatation
LCF = m forward of AP
Metacentric height
GM = m => 0.05B LR
Roll centre
RC = m see notes (1)
Roll period
TR = sec. " (2)
Max. roll amplitude      QR = deg. " (3)    
Pitch period
TP = sec. " (4)
Max. pitch amplitude     F = deg. " (5)    
Heave period
TH = sec. " (6)
notes:
(1) Roll centre
RC = {0.5[ D + d ]}
2
= m
(2) Roll period
TR = 0.8B
= sec.
(3) Max. Roll Amplitude, QR = 3150 C
B + 75
Where C,
for ships with bilge keel when TR < 20 sec
0.75 for ships with bilge keel when TR > 30 sec
C may be interpolated between 0.75 and 0.9 when TR falls between 20 afd 30 seconds.
Hence,
C = sec.
      QR = deg.        
(4) Pitch period TP =  7 - (183 - L)(0.0123)
= sec.
(5) Max. pitch amplitude, F = deg 120f<L<275m      
(6) Heave period TH =
= deg.
