Air Draft

Description: The vertical distance from the waterline to the highest point of a vessel, known as ‘air draft’, is a determining factor in navigation, as it influences the safety and stability of vessels. Adequate knowledge of air draft is essential to avoid collisions and ensure that vessels can operate without issues, especially in areas where there are structures such as bridges, docks, or cranes. Additionally, the open air in a port may also include spaces designated for recreational activities, such as waterfront promenades and resting areas, allowing visitors to enjoy the maritime environment.
