 Graphical method

A graphical interpretation has been used to predict the ship particulars figure shows the
different particulars which are plotted with deadweight and calculate the dimension for
the new vessel. The dimensions include LPP, LOA, B, T and D where the main
dimensions for the ship this where to find out using the graphical method were shown
in the Figure 3.1 to 3.10.
