Draught, Trim and List
The most important measurements on board are the measuring points for calculating draught, trim and list. Ship safety depends heavily on them. Using the transmitted values from the different measuring points, the load master, as part of the cargo control system (CCS), can determine the exact values of ship orientation and draught. Usually, two measuring points forepeak and two additional measuring points afterpeak are used.
