Understanding Vessel Draft-
WHAT CAN A VESSEL’S DRAFT TELL US?
DRAFT IS THE VERTICAL DEPTH
It measures how deeply the vessel sits below the waterline.
DEEPER DRAFT MAY INDICATE MORE LOAD
A heavily loaded vessel generally sits lower in the water.
SHALLOWER DRAFT MAY INDICATE LESS CARGO
Changes can help analysts study possible loading or unloading activity.
DRAFT AFFECTS PORT ACCESS
Not every port or channel can safely accommodate deep-draft vessels.
IMPORTANT LIMITATION
AIS draft information may be manually entered, delayed, or inaccurate. It should be evaluated alongside other data.
