    TPI (tons per inch) is used to calculate changes in trim or parallel sinkage. The tipping center or longitudinal center of flotation acts as a pivot point about which the vessel moves longitudinally when trim changes. The deadweight scale can be used to determine MT1 (moment to change trim one inch) and TPI. Changes in fuel, water, or cargo will alter the vessel's trim and draft. To change a vessel's draft on only one end, the change in trim must be equal to twice the parallel sinkage. The formula to calculate draft change is: d = 2 * MT1 / TPI. In an example, a vessel needs 660 additional tons loaded to change the aft draft

    Trim Calculations

    TPI tons per inch immersion is used to calculate parallel Sinkage or rise. Tipping center or Longitudinal Center of Flotation can be described as a hinge or pivot point about which the vessel moves longitudinally. Similar to the fulcrum position of a lever.

    Change of Draft on One End Only


    

    You can change a vessels draft on one end only if the parallel Sinkage is equal to the change in trim. The special formula is as follows; d = 2 * MT1 TPI

    Load Problem
    

    A vessel is floating at a draft of 20 forward and 21 aft. It is to be loaded to have a departure draft of 20 forward and 23 aft. TPI is 55 and MT1 is 988. How many tons must be loaded and where to achieve this draft?

    Example of change in draft on one end only.


      

    trim=2=24 in trim = 12 12 * TPI (55) = 660 tons d = 2*MT1 d = 2* 988 TPI 55

    Example of change in draft on one end only.  d = 2*MT1 or d = 2 * 988 TPI 55  d= 35.92727 feet
