SOME PROBLEMS OF SHIP UNDER KEEL CLEARANCE OPTIMIZATION IN THE TRANSPORT OF CARGO

Abstract

Port water area is described by horizontal and vertical dimensions, that are designed to service of ships given size. During port exploitation it can happen of needs to service the ship greater than those was designed. Especially it regards the ships drought. This problem can be solve by reduction of under keel clearance (UKC). But it caused increasing of risk of ships strike into the ground of port water area, and in result the consequence of financial losses caused by damage of ship’s hull. The paper presents assumption of calcula-tion of optimization of ships under keel clearance in aspect of increase of ships draught ex-pected benefits and potential losses.
