The draft or draft of the ship's hull is the vertical distance between the water line and the bottom of the keel (keel), with the corresponding keeled thickness; in the case of not included the outline design will be obtained. The draft determines the minimum depth of water the boat or boat can safely navigate. This design can also be used to determine the weight of a load on a ship by calculating the total water movement and then using the Archimedes principle. A table made by a shipyard shows the displacement of water for each draft. The water density (salt or fresh) and the contents of the bunkers of the ship must be taken into account. The closely related term "trim" is defined as the difference between forward and backward design.

Draft ship
- The stern draft (stern) is measured in a perpendicular straight line.
- The forward draft (arc) is measured in a perpendicular arc.
- The average draft is obtained by calculating the averages of the stern and the arc draft, with correction for the variation of the water level and the position value of F by observing the average perpendicular.
- Plate is the difference between front and rear design. When the rear draft is larger, the ship is considered to have negative trim, and has a positive trim when the forward draft is larger. In such cases it is often referred to as down-by-the-head .
In commercial ship operations, ships will usually cite the average draft as a draft ship. But in a navigation situation, the maximum draft, usually the back draft, will be known on the bridge and will be shared with the pilot.
Draft variations
Draft vessels can be affected by many factors, not considering the rise and fall of ships with displacement:
- Variations with trim
- Variations by list
- Variations based on water level changes
- Allowance variations of fresh water drafts with part of fresh to sea water or vice versa
- Heat variations in navigating shallow waters
- Variations as a result of ships moving in shallow waters, or squatting

Design scale
This concept is measured on a "banded" scale, from the bow and to the stern, and for some vessels, the average perpendicular measurement is also used. This scale can use traditional British units or metric units. If the English system (Imperial unit) is used, the bottom of each mark is a draft in the foot and the mark is 6 inches high. In the metric tagging scheme, the bottom of each draft mark is a draft in decimeters and each mark is a tall decimeter.
Implications of the draft
Large ship
Larger vessels try to maintain the average water draft when they are light (without charge), to make better sea crossings and reduce the effects of wind (high velocity power center). To achieve this they use a sail ballast to stabilize the ship, after discharge.
Water drafts from large ships have little direct connection with their stability because stability depends only on the position of each gastric metacenter and the center of gravity. It is also true that "light" vessels have a high enough stability that can cause too much braking (due to memory). A loaded vessel (with a large draft) can have strong or weak stability, depending on the way the ship is loaded (the height of the center of gravity).
Draft ships can be upgraded when the ship is moving in shallow waters, a phenomenon known as squat (the nautical term for low-pressure hydrodynamic effects pulls the ship down while moving).
Draft is a significant factor limiting navigable waterways, especially for large ships. These include many shallow coastal waters and coral reefs, but also some major shipping lanes. Panamax class vessels - the largest ships that can transit the Panama Canal - have draft boundaries (and "air draft" limits for crossing bridges) but are usually limited by blocks, or sometimes the overall length, for lock-in. However, the ship could be longer, wider and taller in the Suez Canal, the limiting factor for the Suezmax vessel is the concept. Some supertankers can transit the Suez Canal when not tied or partially burdened, but not when it is loaded.
Channels are not the only limited delivery path. The Malaccamax ship, is the deepest draft that can move the Strait of Malacca which is very busy but relatively shallow. Strait only allows the ship to have 4.4 m (1.3Ã, ft) more drafts than the Suez Canal. Capesize, Ultra Large Crude Carriers and some Chinamax operators, are some ships that have too deep designs when loaded, whether for the Strait of Malacca or the Suez Canal.
The pleasure boat
A small drain allows the pleasure vessel to navigate through shallow water. This allows these ships to access smaller ports, to travel along the river and even to 'skirting' the boat.
A large draft ensures a good level of stability in high winds, because the center of gravity is lower (ballast above the boat's hull). For example: The ballast is placed very low in the boat's hull like a dragon boat with a draft of 1.20 m to a length of 8.90 m.
A boat like a catamaran can reduce the problem by taking good stability in a small concept, but the boat width increases.
Submarine
For submarines, which can sink to different depths of the ocean, a term called the depth of the keel is used, determining the current distance from the surface of the water to the bottom of the submarine's keel. It is used in navigation to avoid obstacles underwater and hitting the seafloor, and as a standard point on the submarine for depth measurement.
Submarines usually also have a special design that is used when operating on the surface, to navigate at the harbor and on the dock.
