 : is the volume of displacement, i.e Displacement in MT divided by the sea water specific gravity.
Lpp: is length between perpenticulars.
B: is the extreme breadth underwater.
D: is the mean draft corresponding to the actual displacement used in the formula.
CB: Block Coefficient - V: Speed.
Confined waters: When the depth of the water is less than twice the vessels draft.
Open waters: When the depth of the water is greater than twice the vessels draft.
Deepest Nav. Draft: Maximum draft + Squat + wave height (where applicable)
Minimum channel depth: As per Chart Datum (charted depth)
Underkeel Clearance: Minimum channel depth - Deepest Nav. Draft.
NOTES 1. Calculated CB When you fill the values in the blue cells (H15,H16,H17&H18) the form will
automatically calculate the CB and the squat table.
2. CB from Tables If you obtain the CB value direct from the vessels Hydrostatic Tables you
may enter in the purple cell (H20) and the Squat table will automatically calculated.
3. After making due allowance for squat, water density and tidal height, the under keel
clearance shall not be less than 1 metre. If under keel clearance of less than 1 metre is
anticipated, approval shall be obtained from the Voyage Manager (FOPM 4.9.22).
