Default Ship Characteristics for Salvage Calculations.

Abstract

This study confirms that default data calculations can be used to develop ship hydrostatics, and strength information of suitable accuracy to allow the Coast Guard On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) to make rapid and intelligent judgments of ship grounding incidents. The study recommends the calculations be performed on a small portable computer, which would be carried to the emergency site by the OSC and would be fitted with graphic read-out capability for displaying numbers and simple sketches. Originator-supplied keywords: Salvage, Ship groundings, Default characteristics.
