EQUIPMENT NUMERAL CALCULATOR FOR A SHIP

Based on the Equipment Number and DNV Rules, the minimum required anchoring/mooring
equipment number and specifications are also recommended

Formula
EN = Δ2/3 + 2 B H + 0.1 A
 Δ = Rule Displacement in MT
B = Rule Breadth in m
H = effective height in m from the summer load waterline to the top of the uppermost deckhouse, measured as follows:
H = a + Σ hi
a = distance in m from the summer load waterline amidships to the upper deck at side (Freeboard)

hii = height in m on the center line of each tier of houses having a breadth greater than B/4.
For the lowest tier, hii shall be measured at center line from the upper deck,
or from a notional deck line where there is local discontinuity in the upper deck
