40 feet container size is: 40 ft (12 m) length by 8 ft (2.4 m) width by 8.6 ft (2.6 m) height. Container vessels are built to contain as many containers as possible, accordingly the vessels are divided into sections: Accommodation, the space which contains all crew cabins; Bridge, the command center of the ship, the space which contains ...
Lloyd’s Register (“LR”) load line mark and lines and timber load line mark and lines for power-driven merchant vessels Lloyd’s Register (“LR”) load line mark and lines for commercial sailing vessels. The original "Plimsoll mark" was a circle with a horizontal line through it to show the maximum draft of a ship.
The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is a soil classification system used in engineering and geology to describe the texture and grain size of a soil. The classification system can be applied to most unconsolidated materials, and is represented by a two-letter symbol. Each letter is described below (with the exception of Pt):
Diagram showing the principle of a cone penetrometer to obtain the soil's strength profile. Diagram showing the principle of a shear vane to measure the soil's peak strength and residual strength. Information on the mechanical strength of the soil can be obtained in situ (from the seabed itself as opposed to in a laboratory from a soil sample).
The vessel consists of two major moving parts (port and starboard halves), both are mostly symmetrical in design. Both parts of the vessel are hinged at the deck and operated by hydraulic cylinders. When the vessel splits the load is dumped rapidly, which means the barge has to be very stable in order not to capsize or otherwise get damaged.
Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...
Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...
[8]: 10 [9] The most common chart size was early established as the "Double-elephant", about 39 X 25.5 inches, and this has continued to be the case. [10] Chart design gradually simplified over the years, with less detail on land, focusing on features visible to the mariner. Contours were increasingly used for hills instead of hatching.
