The spreadsheet contains all the calculations necessary for the draught survey and lists the fields where data is required. The spreadsheet, which can only be accessed by Club Members on the website, is accompanied with a user guide.

The article 'Measurement of bulk cargoes - draught surveys' - a UK Club Carefully to Carry Committee publication, explains draught survey theory and practice to make clear the limitations of draught surveying, and best practice methods.
