Ship Squat Calculator: A Must-Have App for Safe Vessel Navigation
Ship Squat Calculator is a must-have app for every ship captain and marine engineer who wants to ensure safe and efficient navigation. Developed by Captain Darren Dsouza, this Android app is a comprehensive tool that calculates the ship's squat and final trim based on the vessel and channel particulars.
Squat is a critical factor that affects vessel navigation and can result in grounding incidents if not accounted for properly. This app uses Ankudinov's empirical formula, which is one of the most conservative formulas for squat, to calculate the ship's squat accurately. Additionally, the app determines the channel types and critical and economic speed of the vessel transiting the channel that should not be exceeded. This app is an excellent tool for estimating squat for channel design and operational use, taking into account transiting ships in the channel.
