Your draft readings tell more than just how deep your ship sits—they reveal your vessel's displacement. A proper draft survey helps you calculate how much cargo you're carrying and whether you're safely within limits. This video simplifies that concept so anyone can understand how to relate drafts to weight. Mastering this is essential for safe loading and stability. ⚓ Did you ever assist in a draft survey on your vessel? What was your biggest challenge? #maritime #cadet | Simplified Maritime

Ship draft is one of the most critical measurements in maritime operations. Understanding the squat effect is essential for safe navigation in shallow waters and congested ports. 📏 WHAT IS SHIP DRAFT? The vertical distance from the waterline to the lowest point of the ship's hull Determines how deep a vessel sits in the water Varies based on cargo weight and ballast Critical for port and channel navigation ⚠️ SQUAT EFFECT - THE HIDDEN DANGER When a ship moves through shallow water at high speed

A ship’s draft changes when moving in shallow water due to the squat effect. This video explains the difference between static draft and squat, and how increased speed can reduce under-keel clearance, making squat awareness critical for safe navigation. #ShipSmith #SquatEffect #ShipDraft #MaritimeSafety #SeafarerKnowledge | ShipSmith

🟥SUBJECT: DRAFT A ship's draft is the distance from its lowest point (the keel) to the waterline. This measurement shifts depending on the weight of the cargo and the density of the water. Ships sit higher in cold, salty water because it is denser and more buoyant, whereas they sink deeper in warm, fresh water. Calculating an accurate draft is critical for safely navigating shallow waters and avoiding groundings.
