What is formula for block coefficient?

The block coefficient (CB) is calculated as the ratio of the underwater volume of a ship's hull to the volume of a rectangular block that has the same overall length, breadth, and draft as the ship. The formula for block coefficient is: [ CB = \frac{V_{ship}}{L \times B \times T} ] Where: CB = Block coefficient Vship = Underwater volume of the ship's hull L = Length of the ship B = Breadth of the ship T = Draft of the ship


What was the biggest ship ever made as of 2013?

The biggest ship made in 2013 is the Maersk Triple E class with a length of 400 m (1,312 ft), however the biggest ship made until 2013 would be the Seawise Giant with a length of 458.46 m (1,504 ft).


Why is a ship's loa so called?

A ship's LOA, or Length Overall, refers to the maximum length of the vessel from the tip of the bow to the stern. The term "overall" indicates that this measurement encompasses the entire length of the ship, including any extensions like bowsprits or rudders. It is an important specification for docking, navigation, and regulatory compliance. The abbreviation "LOA" is commonly used in maritime contexts to streamline communication about vessel dimensions.


What is the effect of length on ship stability?

Increasing the length of a ship typically improves its stability by increasing its resistance to rolling motions. Longer ships tend to have a longer roll period, which helps reduce the effects of waves on the vessel. However, excessive length can also lead to reduced maneuverability and increased vulnerability to torsional forces.
