SQUAT - Calculation 1

This document provides a summary of a program that predicts squat, underkeel clearance, and grounding speed for ships in open and confined waters. It analyzes these metrics for a specific ship named Robert Maersk based on its dimensions and other characteristics like speed and water depth. The results show that maximum squat occurs at the bow at 0.16 meters, with a minimum underkeel clearance of 17.35 meters allowed at the stern given the ship and conditions. It cannot predict grounding speed within the required speed range.
