What is Squat?

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.
