Ship Squat/Tide Calculations/UKC Calculation/Dynamic Drafts from Static Condition software

By predicting the maximum ship’s squat for a given situation, the advantages that can be gained are numerous, from saving the cost of a very large repair bill to even extra earning capacity. With this unique Option, you can have calculated your ship’s squat in several speeds, as well as the under keel clearances, the speed loss in restricted waters and your vessel’s static condition from dynamic drafts.

This Option is based on the over than 36 years experience and research of Dr. Bryan Barrass (UK). Through our company, in cases of incident involving squat, Dr. Bryan Barrass is also available as expert witness.

This module incorporates the Tide Calculations, an option, which is using the Simplified Harmonic Method of Tidal Prediction (uses Harmonic Constants Published in Part III of these Tables and the Tidal Angles and Factors from Table VII ) and various Inputs and calculates Tide of Height and UNDER KEEL CLEARANCE (UKC) .

The TIDE CALCULATION has been designed to assist ship’s officers for predicting Tide and calculating UNDER KEEL CLEARANCE (UKC) onboard Tanker and Cargo Ship.

NOTE: The clients, who are already registered with United Kingdom Hydrographic Office concerning the Admiralty Digital Publications SDK, can make of use the Harmonic Data ((Digital Tide Tables) for a particular location (Port) as an add-on “(Communication Protocol)” to our software in order to avoid the manual input of Harmonic Constants.

This module includes the “STATIC CONDITION FROM DYNAMIC DRAFTS” feature that will assist in determining the Ship Static Drafts obtained from Dynamic Drafts due to Squat vs Current Speed in open water and confined channels.

The software is provided for both onboard and office use and can be installed easily on every operational PC that meets the mentioned system requirements (please refer to the last section) and it is accompanied by analytical guide for installation, training, guidance, as well as prompt support from SMM (UK) Ltd..

The analytical Manual for familiarization and training purposes is incorporated electronically in the software.
