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.
Squat Figures
Speed (kts) Squat (Open Squat Squat (Rock cuts /
Water) (Canals/prismatic diametric
channels) 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.
