UNDER-KEEL CLEARANCE
The Officer completing the checklist MUST enter his initials as confirmation

The company’s requirements for minimum under-keel clearance (assuming accurate chart
data) are as follows:

 Open Sea (FAOP): The minimum UKC in the dynamic condition is 50% of the static draft.

 Restricted Waters/Port Approaches/Harbour Transits (SBE): The minimum UKC in the

dynamic condition is 10% of the static draft.

 Tankers Only – SBM / CBM mooring: the minimum UKC is 10% of the static draft.

Alongside (1st Line Ashore to SBE):

For vessels <20m breadth: 0.30 metres
For vessels >20m breath: 1.5% of the ship’s beam

Pilots are also reminded if increase in draft due to the effect of squat when navigating in areas of
restricted depth or in narrow channels.
