Draft markings on the stern of the Cutty Sark, an example of the Imperial system of such markings. The draft or draught of a ship is a determined depth of the vessel below the waterline, measured vertically to its hull's lowest—its propellers, or keel, or other reference point. [1] Draft varies according to the loaded condition of the ship.

2019年12月14日 · Draft marks are numerals painted on the stem, amidships and stern of a ship. They indicate the depth of the ship’s keel below the water line. The meter mark numerals are 10cms high. in between the meter marks but slightly to the right of them are marked Arabic numerals as 2, 4, 6 and 8, this indicates 20cms, 40cms and 60cms and 80cms.

2023年4月16日 · Draft marks are numbers placed in a vertical line towards the forward and aft of a vessel. They gauge the distance (draft) between the waterline and the lowest point on the ship’s hull, which fluctuates depending on cargo loading.

2017年8月22日 · Draft marks should be read from as close to the waterline as possible, in order to avoid errors due to parallax. Those read from a boat at rest with no wash are likely to be the most accurate. It is possible that at times the midship mark may not be clearly visible on the side the ship is alongside.

2024年2月7日 · Draft marks on a ship are used for monitoring water depth, ensuring safe navigation, managing cargo loading, assessing stability, complying with international regulations, enhancing bridge visibility, conducting hull inspections, and maintaining proper documentation.

2017年6月20日 · Scantling draft is the maximum draft at which the ship can withstand all the loads safely. In other words, it is the draft at which the strength of the ship is built. It may or may not be equal the tropical draft (Maximum to a ship can load as per load lines). Let us say a ship’s maximum depth is 15 meters. Its tropical draft is 12 meters.

2022年9月19日 · All vessels have a typical marking on the side of the hull, like a series of parallel branching lines and a circular disc. The numbers are known as draft marks or Plimsoll lines. In the 18th and 19th centuries, most vessels were often overloaded than the design capacity.

2019年8月21日 · Draft markings are necessary for calculating the amount of cargo to be shipped. Draft marking is done on the outer surface of the ship body shell using weld beads or steel plate attachment welding. Or you can read in detail at DRAUGHT MARKS AND SURVEYING.
