A box-shaped vessel 120m long and 15m wide has alight draft of 4m and load draft of 9.8m in SW. find her light displacement, load displacement and DWT.
Solution :
Area of box shape vessel = (L x B)
= 120m x 15m
Light draft = 4m
Light displacement = (u/w volume) x ( density)
= (L x b x d )x (1.025)
= (120 x 15 x 4) x (1.025)
= 7380 t
Load draft = 9.8m
So load displacement = (u/w volume) x (1.025)
= ( L x b x d) x (1.025)
= (120 x 15 x 9.8) x (1.025)
= 18081t
Hence, DWT = (Load displacement – Light displacement)
= ( 18081 – 7380 )
= 10, 701t
many questions have wrong answers in various exercises,,at least book ke end me answers ko chk kar lete…anyways thanks for this website

what is the draft of a box shape steel (L=4 meters , B= 4 meters , Depth = 0.60 meters)
floating in a salt water density 1.028 and the total weight of the steel box with steel on top of it is 1500 kg
question 5 is wrong. you forget to take the u/w vol and multiply by the sw density.
sir exercise no 4 problem no 7 draft you had taken is wrong it is not 4.1 it is 6.1 mtr
