Example Calculation in case of using a stability pontoon (MV „Randzel”; Breadth = 16,60m;

Dm = 6,00m):

HP =3m
Sum 1.428,02 12.517,58 118.259,94 27.523,66
+ 27.523,66
Sum 145.783,60
- 109.833,16
35.935,44

In case the pontoon will not completely submerge or come out of the water the increase of the initial
stability will be about 1,23m!
