To calculate the equivalent fresh water draft of a vessel when the saltwater draft is known, you can use the principle of buoyancy and the specific gravities of saltwater and freshwater. The formula is:

[ \text{Fresh Water Draft} = \text{Salt Water Draft} \times \frac{\text{Density of Salt Water}}{\text{Density of Fresh Water}} ]

Typically, the density of saltwater is about 1.025 g/cm³ and that of freshwater is about 1.000 g/cm³, so the formula simplifies to multiplying the saltwater draft by approximately 1.025.

How draft change from summer draft to fresh water?

Draft changes from summer to fresh water primarily due to the density difference between saltwater and freshwater. Saltwater is denser, which means vessels typically sit lower in the water when in saltwater than in freshwater. When transitioning from saltwater to freshwater, a vessel will float higher, resulting in a change in draft. This requires careful consideration for navigation, especially in shallow areas, to avoid grounding.

What is procedure if the demand draft is lost?

You can do something about the lost draft if you have the demand draft number. visit the branch where you took the draft and provide them the draft number. Also give them a letter with the draft details (on whose name you took the draft, the date, draft number, amount, payable city etc) and tell them that the draft is lost. As a first step, ask them to block the draft so that, the draft cannot be cashed by someone. As the next step, ask them to either cancel the draft and pay you money or re-issue a fresh draft.

What is the procedure if the Demand draft is lost and expired?

Lost: Contact the bank that issued the draft and submit a letter in writing stating the DD number and ask them to cancel the draft because it was lost. You may ask the bank to re-issue a fresh draft for which they will charge a fee. Expired: The only thing you can do is contact the person who gave you the draft and ask them for a new draft.

Density - ability for a boat to float?

It is the displacement of the vessels weight and the freeboard remaining of a vessel that determines whether a vessel will float and or sink. A ship will float higher on salt water (salt water is denser) than if on fresh water (less dense).
