Calculation of Contours

This document contains calculations for depth contours to be used for navigation in confined and open waters between several ports in Trinidad. It provides initial vessel data, calculations for squat, corrections for factors like density and pitch/roll, and determined shallow, safety, and deep contour depths for departure, arrival, and transit between points based on speed and conditions. Values like look ahead distance and widths will be tailored based on channel width to avoid excessive alarms while maintaining safety. The contours are to be input into the electronic chart display system.
