m respectively. If the water-plane area is 280 m2 calculate the
coefficient of fineness of the water-plane area (CW).
Solution

breadth of 46.3 m and 15.5 m respectively. Calculate the block
coefficient (CB) if its volume of displacement is 1800 m3.
Solution

ship floats at an even keel draught of 7.56 m in water RD 1.012 and
the block coefficient is 0.824 calculate the displacement.
Solution

Example 4
A ship floats at a draught of 4.40 m and has a waterline
breadth of 12.70 m. Calculate the underwater transverse area
of the midships section if CM is 0.922.

Tonnes per Centimetre immersion TPC
The TPC for any given draught is the weight that must be
loaded or discharged to change the ships mean draught by
4 one centimetre (1cm)
Where:
TPC : tonnes per cm
WPA : water plane area m2
: water density 1.025 t/m3

Example 6
Calculate the TPC for a ship with a water-plane area of 1500 m2
when it is floating in:
(a) fresh water;
(b) dock water of RD 1.005;
(c) salt water
Solution:

LOAD/DISCHARGE

Example 7
M.V. Almar has a displacement of 13200 ton at an initial mean draught
of 4.40 m in salt water and is required to complete loading with a
draught of 6.70 m (displacement will reach 20610 ton). Calculate the
amount of cargo that must be loaded.

Fresh Water Allowance (FWA)
Fresh Water Allowance (FWA) is the number of millimetres by which
the mean draught changes when a ship passes from salt water to
fresh water, or vice-versa, when the ship is loaded to the Summer
displacement.
The FWA is found by the formula:

TPCSW is the salt-water TPC value for the summer load draught.

Example 8
A ship floats in SW at the Summer displacement of 1680
tonnes. If the TPCSW is 5.18, how much will the draught
change by if the ship is towed to a berth where the density
of the water is 1.000 t/m3?
