What happens to the drift of a ship with a shallow draft when encountering crosswinds?

  • It remains unaffected by crosswinds
  • It increases due to crosswinds (correct)
  • It decreases due to crosswinds
  • It becomes unpredictable due to crosswinds

Flashcards

Draft and Underwater Hull Area

A greater draft leads to a larger underwater hull area.

Shallow Draft and Crosswinds

Shallow draft ships are more susceptible to drifting in crosswinds.

Draft and Inertia

Loaded ships with maximum draft have increased inertia, making turning harder.

Trim and Draft Lines

Excessive trim can cause a ship to exceed its draft lines, potentially leading to grounding.

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.
