This document calculates the freeboard requirements for a ship with the following specifications: - The ship is 29.80 meters long with a molded depth of 1.80 meters - The tabular freeboard is 248.3 mm and is multiplied by 1.0963 due to the block coefficient of 0.811 - Corrections are made for sheer of 242.60 mm but not for depth as the length to depth ratio is greater than 15 - The minimum summer freeboard is calculated to be 514.82 mm and the minimum fresh water freeboard is 497.33 mm
