Fresh water Allowance

What explains why the draught of a ship decreases when it passes from fresh water to seawater and vice versa?

When loading in fresh water before proceeding into seawater, a ship is allowed a deeper maximum draught. What factor allows for this deeper maximum draught?

What is meant by the fresh water allowance (FWA)?

How can a hydrometer be used to find the density of dock water?

What effect do changes of tide and rain have on dock water density?

How can one obtain the correct dock water density?

Given the density of dock water and TPC for seawater, how can the TPC for dock water be calculated?

Given the density of dock water and FWA, how can the amount by which the appropriate load line may be submerged be calculated?

If given the present draught amidships and the density of dock water, how can the amount to load to bring the ship to the appropriate load line in seawater be calculated?

What factors contribute to the draught of a ship in different water types?

What allows for a deeper maximum draught when loading in fresh water before sailing into seawater?

What is the primary purpose of the fresh water allowance (FWA)?

How does a hydrometer help in determining dock water density?

How do changes in tide and rain impact the density of dock water?

What is a key step in obtaining accurate dock water density for ship loading calculations?

When calculating the TPC for dock water based on its density, what adjustment needs to be made?

In determining the additional submersion based on dock water density and FWA, what factor plays a crucial role?

When loading to reach the appropriate load line in seawater using dock water density and present draught, what must be considered?

What are the main elements affecting the draught of a ship when transitioning between fresh water and seawater?

How does the Fresh Water Allowance (FWA) impact the maximum draught of a ship when moving from fresh water to seawater?
