Calculation Formula

Gross Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) = (Bathymetry × Keel Depth × Ship Length × Ship Breadth) / 100

Where:
- Bathymetry: The depth of the water in meters
- Keel Depth: The depth of the ship's keel in meters
- Ship Length: The length of the ship in meters
- Ship Breadth: The breadth of the ship in meters

Result

0 DWT

Gross Dead Weight Tonnage Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Gross Dead Weight Tonnage Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the bathymetry (depth of water) in meters.
  2. Enter the keel depth (depth of the ship's keel) in meters.
  3. Enter the ship length in meters.
  4. Enter the ship breadth in meters.
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Gross Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT).
  6. The result will be displayed in DWT (metric tons).

Working Principle

Gross Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) is a measure of the total weight a ship can carry, including cargo, fuel, water, stores, and other supplies. It is calculated by multiplying the ship's dimensions (bathymetry, keel depth, length, and breadth) and dividing by a conversion factor (100 in this case).

Applications

This calculator is useful for ship designers, naval architects, and maritime engineers to estimate the carrying capacity of a ship. It helps in determining the ship's size and capacity for various maritime operations.
