New Orleans to Haiphong via Panama Canal

This video is a presentation of loading at New Orleans to Haiphong via Panama Canal to arrive at Panama Canal on Even Keel. This can also be used in arrival in any ports and to arrive at Even Keel. It will make it easy for the Chief Mate to compute the arrival draft without using the Loadicator. Arrival draft makes things easy at the tip of your fingertips. Take advantage of such a program to lessen your workload on board. This is not a shortcut method but rather a mathematical approach by Excel for shipboard use. You will notice that you have more or deeper draft upon arrival at Panama Canal. This due to your arrival density of 0.996. Your vessel will submerge deeper if the vessel is floating on fresh water and your vessel will float or rise if you are floating on sea water. The density in Baton Rouge is 1.009 and at Panama Canal is 0.996. This means your vessel will submerge more in 0.996. (More of fresh water). Rule of thumb, if your density is less than 1.025 (ex: 1.023), this means your vessel will submerge deeper into the water. But if your density is more than 1.025 (ex: 1.026), this means your vessel will float higher or rise. This the main reason why your arrival draft at Panama Canal is 11.34 m even though you have a consumption of your Fuel Oil. Lastly, it's best to use the ship’s Loadicator for ship operation and it has it’s features on shearing force and bending moments and among others. This program can be your back-up or just incase the situation calls for it for you to use this program.
