Free Board calculation

Length of Load line is 96% of the total length on a waterline at 85% of the least molded depth
D= 3.6 m

0.85D = 0.85 x3.6=3.06 m

LWL at 3.06 m = 41.898 m

Length Load Line = 0.96 x41.898= 40.22 m

Block coefficient = 0.655

New assigned freeboard = 881.2 – 184.1 =697.1 mm

 Correction of standard sheer
Where the after part is less than 50% of the standard no credit shall be given for the excess sheer forward.
