🔍 Key Concepts

• Fresh water vs. salt water drafts and how density affects draft • How to use the Stability Data Reference Book blue pages to find displacement and corresponding drafts • Adding cargo, fuel, and stores to get total deadweight and relating that to the hydrostatic data

💭 Think About

• First, what is the total added weight (cargo + crew effects/stores + fuel) you are loading, and how does that relate to the vessel’s displacement on the blue pages? • When you look at the blue pages, are you matching the total displacement to a listed value, or do you need to estimate between two displacement values? • Once you find the appropriate displacement on the blue pages, how do you read or interpolate the corresponding mean draft in fresh water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using fresh water hydrostatic data (or applying the correct fresh/salt correction if the book requires it). • Double-check that you sum all given weights (cargo, crew effects/stores, fuel) before going to the tables. • If the exact displacement isn’t listed, make sure you know how to interpolate between two drafts rather than just picking the closest number.
