⚙️ How to Use

Step 1: Mode & Particulars

  • Select Initial, Intermediate, or Final survey mode.
  • Enter the Vessel Name, LBP, and Lightship.
  • These values are critical for accurate trim corrections.

Step 2: Draft Readings

  • Input the 6 draft readings (Port/Stbd for Fwd, Mid, Aft).
  • The calculator will auto-compute the Quarter Mean Draft.

Step 3: Hydrostatics

  • Look up the Quarter Mean Draft in your ship's stability book.
  • Obtain Displacement, TPC, LCF, and MTC values.
  • Enter them in the Hydrostatic Data section.

Note: Ensure you use the correct signs for corrections if manually adjusting. The calculator handles standard algebraic signs automatically.
