Part #1 : Essay writing

1. Explain Dock Water Allowance (DWA)
2. Explain the Load line calculation

Part #2 : Problem solving

1. Calculations based on the following problems provided and need to be answer below:
1.1 A ship has a summer displacement of 2400 tonnes, TPC in a salt water of 18. Calculate the FWA in mm
Part #1 Answer

The Dock Water Allowance (DWA) of a ship is the number of millimetres by which the
mean draught changes when a ship passes from salt water to dock water, or vice-versa, when
the ship is loaded to the Summer displacement. Dock water allowance (DWA). When a vessel
moves from salt water to water of lower density it will increase its draught and vice versa. The
amount of change is known as the “dock water allowance”. The dock water allowance depends
on the “Fresh water allowance” (“FWA”) which represents the change in draught when moving
between salt water (density 1.025 tonnes per cubic metre) and fresh water (1 tonne per cubic
metre). The DWA can be estimated from a formula:

DWA = FWA (1.025 – d)/(1.025 – 1.000)

or it may be expressed as:

DWA = FWA (1025 – d)/25

where d = the density of the water in which the ship floats.

Loadline calculation
The load line length is measured on waterline "d1" at 85 percent (0.85D) of the least
molded depth "D." The load line length is either: 96 percent of the total waterline length, or. the
waterline length from the FP (forward side of the stem) to the axis of the rudder stock,
whichever is longer.
