Abstract
    This report describes the determination of the inertia tensor of a ballasted ship model in the towing tank. The theoretical background is based on the principle of a physical pendulum: the oscillation period is proportional with the moment of inertia about the oscillation axis. The governing formulae are determined, including the uncertainty on each term. The practical application is tested with a generic profile. A working example is provided for the benchmark container ship KCS.

    This report is basically a translation of (Delefortrie et al., 2012), updated with a blind benchmark test and applied to a known ship model.
