Draft measurement system

The Draft Measurement System is crucial for determining a vessel’s draft, which is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull. Accurate draft measurement is essential for ensuring safe navigation, especially in shallow waters and during loading operations. Modern systems use sensors and transmitters to provide real-time draft data, allowing for precise monitoring and adjustments. This helps in maintaining optimal buoyancy and stability, preventing overloading and ensuring compliance with maritime regulations. Reliable draft measurement enhances operational safety and efficiency, reducing the risk of grounding and structural damage.
