DRAFT SURVEY

SURVEY PROCEDURE

This Survey Procedure is International Standard for any type of ship. The ship is first surveyed light, to calculate the constant. It is then re-surveyed after loading to determine the weight of cargo.

APPARENT TRIM

The Forward (Fwd), Aft (Aft), and Midships (Mid) drafts are read at both Port (P) and Starboard (S) marks. The P and S readings are added, and the result divided by two.

The Aft draft is subtracted from the Fwd draft, and the result is Apparent Trim. If Trim is positive, the ship is trimmed By the Head; if Trim is negative, the ship is trimmed By the Stern.

Fwd Draft = Fwd(P) + Fwd(S) 2

Aft Draft = Aft(P) + Aft(s) 2

Mean Mid = Mid(P) + Mid(s) 2

Trim = Fwd – Aft

DRAFT CORRECTIONS TO THE PERPENDICULARS

The After Perpendicular is a right angle line to the keel passing through the rudderpost; it is also the first frame marked «0» on the vessels drawings.

The Forward Perpendicular is a right angle line to the keel cutting the vessel’s Summer waterline at the stern. The vessels stability information is calcu-lated on the drafts measured at the perpendiculars; as the draft marks rarely coincide with these lines, a draft as read must be corrected.

If the marks are not on the perpendiculars, the vessel usually has a tabulated plan in her hydrostatic books. However, some of the older vessels do not have their tabulation and it is therefore necessary to work out the correction to be applied by referring to the vessels capacity plan and measuring the horizontal distance between the draft marks and the perpendiculars of the waterline.

The correction is calculated as follows:

Aft Perpendicular Corr = 7.10 x 1.75(trim)= 0.0971 cm (+) 128.0

Fwd Perpendicular Corr = 1.21 x 1.75(trim)= 0.0165 cm( - )

The rule to apply the correction:

Trimmed by the STERN: Forward Correction = MINUS ( - ) After Correction = PLUS ( + ) Trimmed by the HEAD : Forward Correction = PLUS ( + ) After Correction = MINUS ( - )

The above corrections are applied to the forward and after drafts read.

Fwd 2.64 m Aft 4.30 m — Corr 0.0165 + Corr 0.0971 Corrected Draft 2.6235 Corrected Draft 4.3971

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 Corrected Trim: Aft P a g e 8

CORRECTED DRAFT

Aft 5.019 = Aft - Fwd = Corr. Trim Fwd 2.361 Corrected Trim 2.658

NOTE: This value is used in Trim Correction Formulas to adjust the displacement

MEAN DRAFT CORRECTION ( M / M / M )

The Quarter Mean ( QM ) or Mean Draft Corrected for Deformation must be solved next. Use the corrected draft values

First calculate the Fwd/Aft Mean Draft. Add Fwd to Aft, and divide the result by two:

Fwd /Aft Mean = Fwd + Aft 2 Next, calculate the Mean of Mean Add the Fwd/Aft Mean (calculated in 3.10.) to the Mid Mean, and divide the result by two:

Mean of Mean = Fwd/Aft Mean + Mid Mean 2

Now calculate the QM Add the Mean of Mean to the Mid Mean, and divide the result by two

NOTE: The Mid Mean is applied twice, first in calculating the Mean of Mean, and second in calculating the QM.

QM = Mean of Mean + Mid Mean 2

EXAMPLE :

FWD P 2.377 AFT P 5.017 MIDSHIP P 3.59 S 2.377 S 5.017 S 3.72 4.754 10.034 7.31

FWD= 4.754 / 2 = 2.377 AFT= 10.034 / 2 = 5.017 MEAN-MID = 7.31 / 2 = 3.655

TRIM = AFT - FWD (vice versa) = = 5.017 - 2.377 (vice versa) = - 2.64 Trim by the Stern ( Apparent )

DRAFT CORRECTION

Corrections for the Fwd and Aft Drafts (Fwd corr. and Aft corr.) and Corrected Trim must be calculated. The corrections values are different for each ship, and are found in the Stability Manuals. If required, they can be calculated from the formula given in page 9 figure.

EXAMPLE:

Fwd Correction Value =(distance from Fwd Draft to Fwd Perp) (distance between Fwd and Aft Drafts)

Fwd Correction = Fwd Correction Value x Trim ( Apparent )= 0.006037 x 2.64 = 0.016( - )

Aft Correction Value = (distance from Aft Draft to Aft Perp) (distance between Fwd and Aft Drafts)

Aft Correction = 0.034716 x 2.64 = 0.91 (+)

Corrected Draft:

Fwd = 2.377 Aft = 5.017 Corr = -0.016 Corr = + 0.091 2.361 5.108

Page 9: Seminar Workshop on “Trim and Stability” for Bulk Carrierxa.yimg.com/kq/groups/15822191/665531538/name/Polaris+Guide... · B = Center of Buoyancy M = Metacentre ø = Angle of

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 9

Corrected Trim: Aft Draft - Fwd Draft = Corr Trim (CT)

Aft = 5.108 Fwd = - 2.361 2.747

Note: this value used in the Trim correction Formulas to adjust the displacement.

EXAMPLE:

Mid Mean = 3.655 M

Fwd + Aft = 2.361 M + 5.019 M = 7.38 M

Fwd and Aft Mean = 7.38 = 3.69 M 2

Fwd and Aft + Mid Mean = 3.69 +3.655 7.345

Mean Mean of Means = 7.345 = 3.672 M 2

Mean Mean of Means + Mid Mean = 3.672 + 3.655 = 7.327 M

Quarter Mean = 7.327 = 3.663 M 2

QM = 3.663 M

The value for QM is used throughout the remaining Draft Survey Calculations.

NOTE : QM is the same as M/M/M

M/M/M = ( Fwd + 6 x Mid + Aft ) / 8 = 3.663 M

(7.10) - represents the distance the draft marks are from the perpendiculars.

(128.0) - represents the length of the vessel between the draft marks

(trim) - the difference between the forward and after drafts.

Refer to the vessel's Stability & Hydrostatic Manuals and Tables for the following values:

TPC: tonnes per Centimetre Immersion MTC: Moment to change Trim One Centimetre LCB: Longitudinal Centre of Buoyancy LCF: Longitudinal centre of Flotation KB: Transverse centre of Buoyancy TKM: Transverce Metacentric Height

Interpolation

Calculate the Displacement Correction ( DISP. Corr.)

a) Subtract the nearest smaller Draft from the calculated QM.

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 1 0

b)Multiply the result by 100 to convert Meters to Centimetres.

c) Multiply this by the TPC for the displacement.

d) This correction is added to the displacement given for the nearest smaller draft.

NOTE: Refer to Figures 13 and 14 for sample Hydrostatic Tables.

Draft Remainder (cm) = Draft remainder x 100

DISP. Corr. = TPC x Draft remainder (cm)

Displacement = DISP. + Disp. Corr. = Actual Displacement

EXAMPLE:

a) Draft remaining = 3.6635 - 3.66 = 0.0035 M b) Draft remaining = Draft Remainder(M) x 100 = 0.0035 M =0.35cm c) Displacement Correction = TPC x Remaining draft (cm)

= 17.66 x 0.35 cm = 6.181 MT

d) DISPL.CORRECTED = DISPL.(at SMALLER DRAFT ) + correction= 7587.00 + 6.181= 7593.181 MT (corrected)

TRIM CORRECTION

Trim Correction values for a given Displacement is tabulated in the Ship Stability Manual. Even if these are readily available, the following formulas should be studied in order that the principles governing a Draft Survey are fully understood.

Before calculating the First Trim Correction, Corrected Trim (CT) (Ref. 3.3) must be converted from meters to centimetres. Multiply CT (in) by 100 to get centi-metres.

To calculate the First Trim Correction, multiply TRIM by TPC, then multiply the product by the longitudinal Centre of Flotation (LCF) x 100. Then, divide the final product by the Length Between Perpendiculars (LBP).

CT = CT x 100

First Correction = TRIM x TPC x LCF x 100 LBP

Second Correction = TxT x +/-50 cm x MTC diff. LBP

The first correction can be either positive (add), or negative (subtract), depending on the location of the LCF and the trim condition. (It's mean sign of LCF and TRIM )

VESSEL TRIMMED BY THE STEM LCF is Forward (Fwd) (+) ADD Trim Correction LCF is Aft (Aft) (-) SUBTRACT Trim Correction

VESSEL TRIMMED BY THE STERN LCF is Fwd (—) SUBTRACT Trim Correction LCF is Aft (+) ADD Trim Correction

The second Trim Correction is required when the Trim is greater than the LBP divided by 100. It may be applied without adverse effect at smaller trims.

The second correction is always (+) (additive) regardless of the trim or other factors.

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 1 1

Before calculating the Second Trim Correction, MTC differ-ence, sometimes referred to as dM/dZ, must be found.

ADD 50 cm to the Quarter Mean Draft ( QM ) to find the corresponding MTC from the vessel’s Hydrostatic book.

SUBTRACT 50 cm from the Quarter Mean Draft (QM) to find the corresponding MTC from the Vessels Hydrostatic book.

The difference between 3.21.1 and 3.21.2 is the MTC difference, or dM/dZ.

EXAMPLE:

(1)First correction: Trim = 2.74 M ( By STERN "+" ) TRIM x LCF x TPC x 100 LBP

(+)2.74 x (—)4.53 x 17.65 x 100 = 159.909 (-) MT= 159.91(-) 137.00

2) Second Correction: TxT x +/-50 x MTC diff LBP

MTC diff.:

a) Q M + 50cm = MTC ( Found in Ship’s book)

b) Q M - 50cm = MTC ( Found in Ship’s book)

MTC diff = ( a) — ( b)

a) QM = 3.675 + 0.50 4.175 MTC = 169.4

b) QM = 3.675 - 0.50 3.175 MTC =160.7

(a) = 169.4 (b) = - 160.7 MTC diff = 8.7

7.5 x 50 x 8.7 = 23.81 + MT 137

(3) DISP Corrected for TRIM:

1st correction: a) 7587.00 b)- 159.91 =c) 7427.09 (-)

2nd Correction: c) 7427.09 d) + 23.81

SPECIFIC GRAVITY CORRECTION

A Specific Gravity (Sg) of 1.025 is generally assumed for SeaWater in calculating Displacement (DISP). Because the Sg. is almost never exactly 1.025, Sg. correction must be calculated.

Page 12: Seminar Workshop on “Trim and Stability” for Bulk Carrierxa.yimg.com/kq/groups/15822191/665531538/name/Polaris+Guide... · B = Center of Buoyancy M = Metacentre ø = Angle of

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 1 2

Sg. is always minus if the measured Sg. is 1.025 or less.

Sg. is plus if the measured S9. is 1.026 or more.

Calculate the Sg. correction by subtracting the measured density from 1.025, divide this by 1.025 and then multi-ply that answer by the DISP.

Sg. corr. = 1.025 - Measured Density x DISP. 1.025

EXAMPLE:

Measured Density = l.020.4 1.025 — 1.0204 x 7450.9 = 32.71 1.025 DISP. corr. for Trim 7450.90 Density Corr. (Sg.) — 32.71 DISP. Corr. for Density 7418.19

VESSEL’S CONSTANT

Subtract-ing the Lightship, weights, ballast and consumables from the Displacement solves the Constant of an unladen vessel.

Tank tables or graphs should be available so the tank soundings can be converted from measure to volumes and corrected for trim.

Volume multiplied by Sg. equals weight. A Sg. of 1.000 is used for Fresh Water, and for Salt Water Ballast a Sg. of 1.025 is used. Therefore, one cubic meter of Fresh Water equals one Metric Tonne and one cubic Meter of SeaWater equals 1.025 Metric Tonnes. The Chief Engineer is obliged to supply the Sg. of the various fuel oils on board. It is good practice, if possible, to measure the Sg. at the same time the tanks is being sounded.

FRESH WATER ALLOWANCE = (FWA) is the number of millimeters by which the mean draught changes when a ship passes from salt water to fresh water, or vice-versa, when the ship is loaded to the Summer displacement.

FWA (mm) = DISPL @ Summer

4xTPC @ Summer

EXAMPLE: A ship floats in SW at the Summer displacement of 1680 tones. If the TPCSW is 5.18, how much will the draught change by if the ship is towed to a berth where the density of the water is 1.000 t/m3 ?

ANSWER :

FWA (mm) = 1680 . = 81.1 mm

4 x 5.18

= The draught will increase by 81.1 mm

DOCK WATER ALLOWANCE = (DWA) of a ship is the number of millimeters by which the mean draught changes when a ship passes from salt water to dock water, or vice-versa, when the ship is loaded to the Summer displacement.

DWA (mm) = FWA x (RD dw1 - RD dw2 )

25

Note: RD = relative density

dw = dock water

EXAMPLE: A ship has a FWA of 200 mm. Calculate the change in draught that will occur if the ship proceeds from SW to a berth where the RD of the dock water is 1.018.?

ANSWER :

DWA (mm) = 200 x (1025 - 1018) = 56 mm = 5.6 cm

25

= The draught will increase by 5.6 cm

EXAMPLE: A ship is loaded to its summer displacement and is to proceed down river from a berth where the dock water RD is 1.004 to another berth where the dock water RD is 1.016. If the FWA is 270 mm, calculate the change in draught that will occur and state whether it is an increase or a de-crease.

ANSWER :

DWA (mm) = 270 x (1016 - 1004) = 129.6 mm = 12.96 cm

CHANGE OF TRIM DUE TO CHANGE OF DENSITY

FORMULA :

COT (cm) = DISPL x ( RD1 - RD2 ) x (LCF - LCB)

RD1 x MCTC x RD2

RD1

EXAMPLE: A ship is loaded to its summer displacement of 27803 and is to proceed on a river with a density of 1.006 from the outer anchorage which is at sea. Her LCF is 83.67 fm AP, LCB is 86.30 fm AP and MCTC of 377. Find the change of Trim.

ANSWER :

COT (cm) = 27803 x ( 1.025 - 1.006 ) x ( 83.67 - 86.30) = - 3.27 cm

1.025 x 377 x 1.006

1.025

Note: Because the answer is negative the change of trim will be 3.7 cms by the head.

CHANGE OF TRIM DUE TO CONSUMPTION FOR THE VOYAGE

FORMULA :

COT (cm) = CONS x (LCG foap - LCF foap)

MCTC

Note: CONS = Total weight of consumption for the whole voyage (FO+DO+FW)

LCGfoap = final LCG of the consumption measured from after perpendicular

LCFfoap = LCF (Hydrostatic table) from Departure and Arrival Displacement

MCTC = MTC (Hydrostatic table) from Departure and Arrival Displacement

EXAMPLE: A ship is loaded to its summer displacement of 54130 and her mean LCF is 85.615 fm AP, mean LCB is 86.30 fm AP, mean MCTC of 618.302 and with LBP of 175 mtr.

FORMULA :

Tf = f x wtto shift x distfm hold - to hold

MCTC x LBP

Ta = a x wtto shift x distfm hold - to hold

MCTC x LBP

Where:

Tf = change in draught forward due to trim

Ta = change in draught aft due to trim

f = length of ship forward of the LCF

a = length of ship aft of the LCF

EXAMPLE: A ship floats at draughts F 12.198 m and A 11.689 m. Determine the final draughts if 611.11 tones is moved from Hold #1 to Hold # 5 with a distance of 109.05 m, given that MTC 618.3019 t-m, LBP 175 m and LCF 85.6147 m foap.

ANSWER :

a = 85.6147 m

f = LBP - LCF = 175 - 85.6147 = 89.3853

Tf = 89.3853 x 611.11 x 109.05 = 5956774.53 = 55.05 cms

The remaining cargo is to be loaded in Hold #1 ( with LCGfoap 151.34 m ) and Hold # 5 ( with LCGfoap 42.29 m ) . How much cargo must be loaded into each hold for the ship to complete cargo with a trim of 0.612 m by stern?

ANSWER :

LOADING/DISCHARGING PROBLEM

EXAMPLE: A vessel has an initial mean draught of 4.40 m in salt water and is required to complete loading with a draught of 6.70 m. Calculate the amount of cargo that must be loaded.

Hydrostatic data: @ 4.40 m, Displ = 13200 t, TPC = 31.78 t/cm

@ 6.70 m, Displ = 20610 t, TPC = 32.66 t/cm

METHOD 1 (by Displacement) :

4.40 m = 13200 t

6.70 m = 20610 t

Cargo to load = 7410 t

METHOD 2 (by TPC) :

Sinkage/Rise = 6.70 m - 4.40 m = 2.30 m = 230 cm

Mean TPC = 31.78 + 32.66 = 32.22 t/cm

2

Cargo to load = Sinkage/Rise x mean TPC

= 230 cm x 32.22 t/cm

= 7410.6 t

EXAMPLE: A vessel arrives in port with a mean draught of 5.30 m in dock water RD 1.016. Hoe much cargo may be loaded till 5.70 m draught in the dock water?

Hydrostatic data: @ 5.30 m, Displ = 16080 t, TPC = 32.07 t/cm

@ 5.70 m, Displ = 17370 t, TPC = 32.22 t/cm

TPC @ 5.30 = 32.07 x 1.016 = 31.79 t/cm

1.025

TPC @ 5.70 = 32.22 x 1.016 = 31.94 t/cm

1.025

Mean TPC = 31.79 + 31.94 = 31.865 t/cm

2

Cargo to load = Sinkage/Rise x mean TPC

= 40 cm x 31.865 t/cm

= 1274.6 t

The following points should be carefully noted:

The notations assigned to the load lines are as follows:

S : Summer

W : Winter

T : Tropical

WNA : Winter North Atlantic

F : Fresh

TF : Tropical Fresh

Each load line indicates the minimum freeboard that applies to the seasonal zone and/or area as stipulated in the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966.

The ship will be loaded to the appropriate load line when the waterline is level with the top edge of the mark con-cerned when floating in salt water (RD 1.025).

The spacing between the load lines are measured from the top edge on one line to the top edge of the other.

The assigned (Summer) freeboard is measured from the top edge of the Plimsoll line (which corresponds to the top edge of the Summer line) to the top edge of the deck line.

The “WNA” load line mark is only assigned to ships that are 100 meters or less in length. Ships over 100 m will load to the “W” mark as appropriate.

With the exception of “FWA” and “X”, all dimensions are the same for all ships, regardless of size of ship.

Load lines should be clearly and permanently marked on the ship’s side; dark on light background or vice-versa.

EXAMPLE: A vessel has a Summer load draught of 11.938 m FWA 270 mm and TPC of 50.012. The ship is loading at a berth in dock water RD 1.007 and the present draught is 11.80 m. Calculate the maximum amount of cargo that can still be loaded for the ship to be at Summer load line mark on reaching the sea allowing for 200 tones of diesel oil still to be loaded prior to sailing.

ANSWER :

1st. Calculate DWA (to the nearest mm)

DWA (mm) = 270 x ( 1025 - 1007 ) = 194.4 mm = 194 mm

25

2nd. Calculate the “permitted sinkage” in dock water. Always start with the required load line draught and work as follows:

Required Summer draught (1.025) 11.938 m

DWA (+) 0.194 m

Required draught (1.007) 12.132 m

Initial draught (1.007) 11.800 m

Permitted sinkage (1.007) 0.520 m

3rd. Calculate the maximum amount that can still be loaded in dock water, ignoring any allowances for fuel or other items.

Permitted sinkage (cms) = w ÷ TPC

Therefore: w = Permitted sinkage (cms) x TPC

= 52.0 cm x 50.012 x 1.007 = 2554.95 tonnes

1.025

Note: TPC must be corrected for the density of the dock water.

4th. Make allowance now for items other than cargo that must be loaded

Total that can be loaded * 2554.95 tonnes

Diesel still to load 200.00 tonnes

Maximum cargo to load 2354.95 tonnes

*Note: Had the given TPC not been converted for the density of the dock water, the total that could be loaded would have worked out as :w = 52 x 50.012 = 2600.62 tones; resulting in the ship being OVERLOADED BY 45.674 tones!

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 3 9

EXAMPLE: A vessel is floating in dock water RD 1.002 at draught of 11.50m. How much more cargo must be loaded to ensure that the ship will be at the Winter load line mark given that the Winter draught corresponding to the winter displacement is 11.69 m and the TPC is 49.88 and the FWA is 270 mm.

Note that the TPC value given will always be the one that corresponds to salt water for the waterline that is being loaded to.

ANSWER :

1st. Calculate DWA (to the nearest mm)

DWA (mm) = 270 x ( 1025 - 1002 ) = 248.4 mm = 248 mm

25

2nd. Calculate the “permitted sinkage” in dock water.

Required Winter draught (1.025) 11.690 m

DWA (+) 0.248 m

Required draught (1.002) 11.938 m

Initial draught (1.002) 11.500 m

Permitted sinkage (1.007) 0.438 m

3rd. Calculate the maximum amount that can still be loaded in dock water, ignoring any allowances for fuel or other items.

Permitted sinkage (cms) = w ÷ TPC

Therefore: w = Permitted sinkage (cms) x TPC

= 43.8 cm x 49.880 x 1.002 = 2135.72 tonnes

1.025

Total that can be loaded 2135.72 tonnes.

CURVES OF STATICAL STABILITY

(GZ CURVES)

The curve of statical stability, or GZ curve as it is most commonly referred to, is a graphical repre-sentation of the ship’s transverse statical stability.

Transverse statical stability is the term used to describe the ability of a ship to return to the upright, when it has been forcibly heeled by an external force and is momentarily at rest when floating in still water.

At any angle of heel, it is the horizontal disposition of G and B that determines the GZ value.

As a ship progressively heels over the righting lever, GZ, increases to some maximum value and then decreases until at some angle of heel it becomes negative i.e. it becomes a capsizing lever.

Calculating the value of GZ, at specified angles of heel for a ship’s particular condition of loading, will allow a curve of statical stability, or GZ curve, to be produced.

The greater the values of GZ, the greater will be the area under the curve. Minimum standards with respect to the area under the curve. Minimum standards with respect to the area under the curve (and other criteria) are specified in the “Code on intact stability (IMO)” and these are incorporated in the government legislation of most countries that adopt the IMO conventions.

KN values

As a ship heels the centre of buoyancy (B) constantly moves, it’s transverse position being dependent on:

the volume of displacement (and draught) of the ship;

The angle of heel at any instant.

θ

Correction to KN

Page 41: Seminar Workshop on “Trim and Stability” for Bulk Carrierxa.yimg.com/kq/groups/15822191/665531538/name/Polaris+Guide... · B = Center of Buoyancy M = Metacentre ø = Angle of

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 4 1

The GZ value is predominantly dependent on the ship’s KG. Because of the many possible positions of G, it is convenient to consider the GZ that would exist if G were at the keel, termed KN, and to make a correction for the actual height of G above the keel.

If the figure is considered:

Correction to KN = KG x Sin θ

GZ = KN - ( KG x Sin θ )

Cross curves of stability (KN curves) are provided by the shipbuilder to allow GZ values to be deter-mined for any value of displacement and KG. Alteratively, KN values may be tabulated.

It is usual that KN values are given for angles of heel at 10° or 15° intervals.

CALCULATING THE MOMENT OF STATICAL STABILITY

AT SMALL ANGLES OF HEEL

A small angle of heel is often considered to be any inclination of the ship up to approximately 10°.

GZ = GM x Sin θ

Righting Moment = GZ x Displacement

(The above formula for GZ can only be used for small angles of heel.)

V o l u m e 1 , I s s u e 1 P a g e 4 2

IMO STABILITY CRITERION

The area under the righting lever curve (GZ curve) should not be less than 0.055 metre-radian up to 30° angle of heel and not less than 0.09 metre-radian up to 40° or the angle of downflooding θf, if this angle is less than 40°. Additionally, the area under the righting lever curve (GZ curve) between the angles of heel of 30° and 40° or between 30° and θf, if this angle is less than 40°, should not be less than 0.03 metre-radian.

The maximum righting arm should occur at an angle of heel preferably exceeding 30°, but not less than 25°.

The initial metacentric height GM should not be less than 0.15 m.

(θf is an angle of heel at which openings in the hull, superstructures or deck-houses which cannot be closed weathertight immerse. In applying this criterion, small open-ings through which progressive flooding cannot take place need not be considered as open.)

COMPUTING ANGLE OF DECK EDGE IMMERSION

FORMULA :

Tan θ = (Depth - Draught)

½ Breadth

EXAMPLE: A vessel has a length of 182.79 m, breadth 31 m and depth of 16.76 m with a draught of 11.98 m. What is the angle of heel that will immerse the deck into the water?

ANSWER :

Tan θ = (16.760 - 11.938) = 17.28 deg

½ 31

COMPUTING MID DRAUGHT ON SEA SIDE DURING PORT STAY DAILY SURVEY

FORMULA :

correction = Tan List x ½ Breadth

Draughtsea side = Draughtwharf side ± (correction x 2)

Note: If vessel list to wharf side, correction is (-) minus.

If vessel list to sea side, correction is (+) plus.

EXAMPLE: A vessel has with breadth of 31 m, a wharf side draught of 8.42 m and vessel listing about 3 deg to sea side. What is the draught reading on the sea side?

ANSWER :

correction = Tan 3° x ½ 31 = 0.812 m

Draughtsea side = 8.42 m + ( 0.812 x 2) = 10.044 m
