Good Day All..
Thanks for you all that has been accessed and comments given during the time.
In this good time, I am announced that www.surveyors.wordpress.com has just moved to the new address at www.sevensurveyor.com. Eventhough, you could access it form the both addresses.
Hope marine cargo surveyor could find this site more attractive and readable. Your contribution to improve this site is highly appreciated.

Dear Sir, Is it compulsory that the hydrostatic table should be certified by class surveyor or a stamp from shipyard is good enough?…Please advise
Dear Sir, Is it ok if hydrostatic table is only stamped by shipyard?…..Can we rely on the same table to finalyse our draft survey quantity?.
You are welcome Anass.

Thanks man for these informations.

Dear Ashveer,
As my experience in bulk carrier, on the hydrostatic table (in evenkeel condition) the LCF is commonly (not absolute depends on the ship designed) moves from fore to aft part of the Midship. What I mean here is the LCF will be point at fore part in front of Midship when the vessel comes with empty (light draft) and then move to aft part behind of Midship when the vessel loaded with cargo (load draft). Where the fore LCF signed with minus and the aft LCF signed with plus.
I have ever found some ships with inverter the LCF sign, especially for ship built at China Shipyard. But they put the remarks how to calculate it on the manual calculation section of ship’s hydrostatic table. The result will be the same, see the formula uses : (-LCF x TT x TPC x 100) / LBP, the use -LCF not LCF.
It is recommended to check the calculation manual on hydrostatic table before calculating your draft survey, because every ship is different and unique.
Any of you have different opinion or experience, just put comments for Ashveer.

Dear sir.
I understand there is a formula to calculate a ships draught if 4 of the 6 draughtsareknow , considering the fullreadingfor either port or starboard and thereading for midships forthe opposite side.
i understand it is better to read the draught however timeisneverusually onthe sideofa surveyor and i wouldlike toknow if there is a formula
