  2. Draft (hull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(hull)

    Draft determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate in relation to the under keel clearance available. [2] The more heavily a vessel is loaded, the deeper it sinks into the water, and the greater its draft (also referred to as its displacement). [2]

  3. Squat effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_effect

    Squat effect. The squat effect is the hydrodynamic phenomenon by which a vessel moving through shallow water creates an area of reduced pressure that causes the ship to increase its draft (alternatively decrease the underkeel clearance of the vessel in marine terms) and thereby be closer to the seabed than would otherwise be expected.

  4. Under keel clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_keel_clearance

    Under keel clearance (UKC) is the term and calculations used in seafaring to ensure sufficient navigable water is available for ships at sea. [1][2][3][4] It is most commonly described as the height and width of available water below the keel (hull of a ship). [3][5] More simply, it can be described as how much water is left between the bottom ...

  5. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

    This is known as "clearance below", "vertical clearance" and "charted height" [3] [24] [25] On other hand, the "overhead clearance" is a measurement from the top most part of a given vessel to the underside of the bridge. The "underkeel clearance" is the distance between the lowest part of a given vessel to the waterway bed. [25]

  6. Marine salvage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_salvage

    A capsized vessel may sink or remain afloat, and a sinking vessel may roll over while sinking. The process of recovering a vessel from a capsize is called righting. The salvage of a capsized vessel may involve righting on site, or towing to a more sheltered area before righting; possibly including refloating, either before or after righting. [6 ...
