A HRB: 0745 arribamos al puerto de Barbate coincidiendo con la primera pleamar del día de altura = 2,30m. y atracamos en un lugar de la marina con sonda en la carta =2,5m., la embarcación tiene un calado máximo de 2,20 m. Calcular la sonda bajo la quilla:At ship’s clock 0745 we arrive at the port of Barbate at the time of the first high water of the day, height = 2.30 m, and berth in the marina with a charted sounding = 2.5 m. The boat has a maximum draught of 2.20 m. Calculate the water under the keel:

Show the answer

Correct answer: a) 2.60 m

Why it is correct

At high water there is no correction: 2.5 + 2.30 − 2.20 = 2.60 m.

Why the others are not

  • b) The result is different.
  • c) The result is different.
  • d) The result is different.

How to work it out in the exam

  1. Water under the keel = charted sounding + height of tide − draught.
  2. The height of tide is the low water plus the additive correction from the Anuario.
