Dimensional Relationships (Watson, 1998)
• The fact that there are six dimensional
relationships linking the four main ship
dimensions of L, B, D and T and that it is
necessary to use three of these to solve
either the weight or volume equations has
already been noted (Watson, 1998). The
relationships are:
B =f(L) D =f(L)
D =f(B) T=f(L)
T =f(D) T =f(B)
