UNDER-KEEL CLEARANCE
The Officer completing the checklist MUST enter his initials as confirmation

The company’s requirements for minimum under-keel clearance (assuming


accurate chart data) are as follows:

 Open Sea (FAOP): The minimum UKC in the dynamic condition is 50% of the static draft.

 Restricted Waters/Port Approaches/Harbour Transits (SBE): The minimum UKC in the


dynamic condition is 10% of the static draft.

 Tankers Only – SBM / CBM mooring: the minimum UKC is 10% of the static draft.

Alongside (1st Line Ashore to SBE):


For vessels <20m breadth: 0.30 metres
For vessels >20m breath: 1.5% of the ship’s beam

Pilots are also reminded if increase in draft due to the effect of squat when navigating in
areas of restricted depth or in narrow channels.

A channel with unvarying cross- A channel with Non-uniform
section and the constant bottom channel cross-section
slope is called prismatic
channel. All the
artificial channels are
usually prismatic.
Calculation Guidance 1 x Cb x V2 / 100 1.43 x Cb x V2 / 100 2 x Cb x V2 / 100
Answer is in metres, where Cb is the vessel’s block co-efficient and V is the
ships speed in knots.
