Calculation method

Calculation method

Length margin (m)

Margins=berth dimension-boat dimension-total entered allowance.

Width margin (m)

Margins=berth dimension-boat dimension-total entered allowance.

Meets entered geometric allowances (1/0)

Margins=berth dimension-boat dimension-total entered allowance.

Symbols and units
a

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Static rectangle only, no tides, fender compression, mooring or marina approval. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Static rectangle only, no tides, fender compression, mooring or marina approval.
