A useful method, though indirect, is to calculate the submerged volume of the hull. The water that this volume displaces is the weight of the ship. Take care that you use the correct value for water density, which varies both with salinity, and temperature. You probably need detail drawings or a good hull model to make this estimate convincing.

∙ 12y agoThere are regression-analysis methods for a simplified calculation of the lightship weight at a preliminary design stage.
You can check this paper which describes such methods: see link below . At a more advanced design stages, and after the design spiral has made several turns, one should have enough detailed data about ship structures, plants & machinery to be able to calculate the lightship weight directly.
