What is the draft of a ship?
It is the depth of the hull below the waterline.
How much of an average cruise ship is below the waterline?
On average, about one-third of a cruise ship's total height is below the waterline. This submerged portion includes the ship's hull, which is designed to provide stability and buoyancy. The exact percentage can vary depending on the ship's design and purpose, but generally, the underwater section is crucial for the ship's overall balance and structural integrity.
Where is the gas tank on a cruise ship?
There is no gas tank on a cruise ship. There are fuel tanks, which hold the bunker fuel and they are usually located in the bilge of the ship. (Compartments below the waterline)
What is a ship's height from waterline to main deck?
Ship's freeboard
What type of maintenance should one perform with regards to the bilge of a ship?
A bilge is a part of a ship. A bilge is the lowest compartment on a ship where water tends to collect as it is below the waterline. Bilge maintenance revolves around removing the water that collects in the bilge. This can be done by using buckets and pumps.
What is the part of a normal boat which is underwater called?
It's called "draft". Draft is the distance from the waterline to the bottom of the ship.
What is big round part of bow on ship?
The big round part of a bow on a ship is called the "bulbous bow." It extends outward from the hull below the waterline and is designed to improve the ship's hydrodynamics. By reducing wave resistance and improving fuel efficiency, the bulbous bow enhances the vessel's overall performance, especially at higher speeds.
What is the line on the side of a ship called?
The waterline is an imaginary line witch a ship or boat floats. The warmer or colder the water the less or more it floats. WIKI --- Waterline
What do you call a ship that travels below the ocean?
submarine
How tall is an average cruise ship above the waterline?
70 feet
Part of the ship below the deck?
stern
How much of a cruise ship sits under water?
Called, "draft," or "draught," this is the measurement of the part of the ship that is underwater (the distance from waterline to keel -- or the lowest point of a ship). It's the depth to which a ship is immersed when bearing a certain load; it varies as the vessel is loaded and unloaded.For example, a cruise ship on which I will be sailing soon has its dimensions listed on the cruise line's website; the draft is 28 feet, which means 28 feet of the ship is below the waterline. (That's Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas which, in terms of gross tonnage, is one of 3 of the second-largest class of cruise ships in the world. The largest is RC's Oasis of the Seas and its sister ship Allure of the Seas.)
