Calculate Fresh Water Allowance (FWA) and Dock Water Allowance (DWA) for load-line operations.
Formula reference
FWA (mm) = W / (4 × TPCSW)
DWA (mm) = FWA × (1025 − ρdock) / 25
Positive DWA = add to load-line (load deeper). Negative = load less.
⚠ Cross-check with vessel stability booklet and port authority regulations.
