About this document

Ship Trim Calculation and Trimming Table by Gary Lampenko is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides an example of how to use a trimming table to calculate new drafts when weight is added to a ship. The example shows that for a ship with original aft, fore, and mean drafts of 6.0m, adding 300 tonnes of cargo to the cargo hold results in new drafts of 5.891m aft, 6.257m fore, and 6.074m mean. These new drafts are obtained by multiplying the draft change rates per unit weight in the trimming table by the amount of weight added.
