Calculate net UKC from charted depth, tide height, ship draft, estimated squat, and required safety margin.
Formula reference
Available Depth = Charted Depth + Tidal Height
Required Depth = Max Draft + Squat + Safety Margin
Net UKC = Available − Required
⚠ Minimum UKC typically 10% of draft for seaways. Always refer to local port authority requirements and company SMS.
