Squat may be calculated by the following simplified formulae:
- Squat = (CB X V2 ) / 100 (In open waters)
- Squat = 2 X (CB X V2 ) / 100 (In confined waters)
Precaution
- Squat may cause grounding in spite of enough UKC.
- Squat to be calculated beforehand.
- Speed to be reduced to reduce squat.
- While determining UKC, squat for the speed to be taken into consideration.
