Calculate Ship's Squat ll What is squat? ll How squat affect ship's trim? ll Seamanship

This video shows how to calculate a ship's squat and determine how it affects the ship's trim when navigating in open and confined waters. It includes the definition of a ship's squat, under keel clearance or UKC, confined water, shallow water, and block coefficient. It also includes how to use a ship's hydrostatic table to determine the ship's block coefficient.

Ship's squat, also known as "dynamic squat," refers to the phenomenon where a vessel experiences a temporary reduction in draft and an increase in trim when it moves through the water, particularly in shallow or restricted waterways. This reduction in draft occurs due to hydrodynamic forces generated by the vessel's motion.
