Question From Readers #14: Calculate Cargo To Be Loaded

Find The Cargo To Be Loaded

Find the cargo to be loaded if initial draft aft is 10.873m, Trim Corr. = 14.408, TPC = 38.37 and final draft aft = 10.9m.
Ans. 89.19tons

Solution:

1. Subtract final draft and initial draft.

               10.9 m

             - 10.873 m  

                0.027 m 

2. Convert the 0.027 meter difference into centimeter so that we can apply the TPC.

               0.027 m x 100 cm = 2.7 cm 

                              1 m 

3. Multiply the TPC by 2.7 to get tons of cargo.

              38.37 

             x 2.7    

            103.599 tons     

         -   14.408    trim correction

            89.191 tons of cargo to be loaded
