Input panel

In this panel you can specify the cargo that has to be loaded. At this point it is only possible to load one type of cargo. You can also specify a desired trim and the density of water.

Following restrictions apply:

To load (ton) / True Mean Draught (m)

To load (ton), specify the tonnage to be loaded of the specific cargo.
True Mean Draught (m), specify the desired TMD, which is the draught at the center of flotation.

Specific gravity

Specify the specific gravity of the cargo. The specific gravity is the density of the cargo relative to the density of water. This value can be adjusted using the spinner, but it is also possible to type in the value yourself. It has no dimension.

Desired trim (m)

Specify the desired trim. Negative values represent a ship trimming by the bow. Positive values represent a ship trimming by the stern.

Water density

Specify the specific gravity of the water in which the ship is floating. This value can be adjusted using the spinner, but it is also possible to type in the value yourself. It has no dimension.
