Displacement (t)

Displacement at 2.2 m draft

Displacement at 1.8m draft
40 cms draft change

= 2342t
=-1578t
= 764 t

1 cm of draft change would cause = 764

40
1 cm of draft change would cause = 19.1t
a. Hence TPC at 2m draft = 19.1t/cm
b. Draft at 3000t displacement is 2.54m

DWT (t)

a) DWT aboard at 4.75m draft is 2497t

b) DWT at 4.2 m draft
= 1898t
DWT at 3.8m draft
=-1540t
40 cms draft change
= 358 t
1 cm of draft change would cause = 358

1 cm of draft change would cause = 8.95t
TPC at 4 m draft = 8.95t/cm
c) DWT at 5.4 draft

TPC (t/cm)

a)
TPC

= Water Plane Area * 0.01 * RD of SW

64.74 = Water Plane Area * 0.01 * 1.025

64.74
0.01 * 1.025

= Water Plane Area

6316.1 m2

= Water Plane Area

b)
Change in draft = Cargo to Load
=> 325
=> 5.03cms / 0.05m
TPC
64.6
Final draft = Change draft + Initial draft
=> 0.05m + 4m => 4.05m
