Study Notes
Draft and Hull Area
- The draft of a ship affects the area of the hull that is underwater.
Draft and Drift
- A ship with a shallow draft may experience increased drift when encountering crosswinds, making it harder to maintain course.
Loaded Ship Maneuverability
- A loaded ship operating at its maximum draft will experience reduced maneuverability when turning, requiring more space and time to complete turns.
Trim and Draft Lines
- Trim (the angle of the ship's bow and stern) affects a ship's position within its draft lines, influencing its stability and buoyancy.
Draft and Maneuverability
- A light ship with a shallow draft will have reduced maneuverability, making it more difficult to control, especially in confined waters.
