Notes:
1. Berthing depths are usually measured from extreme low water (ELW).
2. Berthing depths for undamaged vessels are minimum values obtained by adding 1.2 m (4 ft) to
the maximum navigational draft of the vessel. In case of excessive silting (0.3 m (1 ft) per year or
over), more than 1.2 m (4 ft) should be added.
3. To obtain information concerning berthing depths for damaged vessels, consult the NAVSEA Ship
Logistic Managers for the particular vessel.
4. For a more complete listing of naval vessel characteristics, see Ships Characteristics Database,
5. To obtain berthing depth for CVN, AOE, and CV vessels, refer to Underkeel Clearance Study,
Hydro Research Science, Inc., Project Report No. 092-81, 31 March 1981.
