 +The draught is <wrap hi>the vertical distance from the waterline to the baseline</wrap>; a change in the draught generally means a change in the ship’s weight and cargo.((https://archive.ph/y57k5#selection-641.0-645.142))

 +According to Lloyd’s List, as draught data is a manual input done aboard a ship it is not always a reliable source of information. However, there are certain instances where draught data must be accurate for safety reasons, such as passing through major chokepoints.((https://archive.ph/y57k5#selection-645.143-645.409))
