Crew Injury Law
As a maritime worker, you face a high risk of an on-the-job injury. Put simply, you have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and we are here to help.
Seamen, merchant marines, fisherman … all of you have jobs different from those on land and all of you face increased risks because of this. What may be relatively safe on land becomes dangerous at sea. Doing a job with waves crashing is very different from doing a job where nothing is moving. You know that and so do we.

Propeller Slip Calculator
> ( Pitch x RPM) / ( Gear Ratio x 1056 ) = Theo Speed
> ( Theo Speed - Actual Speed ) / Theo Speed = Slip
Use this calculator to figure out just about anything in regard to propeller, ratio, RPM and speed. You can change one parameter and recalculate the rest. Use the CalcT button to figure the theoretical speed from the actual speed and slip. Be sure to take a look at the Prop Slip page for an explanation of how to find your prop slip.

Draft Survey Calculation
Draft Survey calculation program for Merchant Navy.Key features of the Draft Survey:
2 modes of calculation - MANUAL or AUTO.
Unique feature: to receive necessary accuracy of calculation it is necessary to enter only 35 lines of values into the Hydrostatic Table which correspond to various condition of a vessel. Intermediate values (corresponding to actual mean draft of a vessel) will be received by interpolation.
