SiteCheck Trade & Energy – Vessel Deadweight Tonnage Calculator
x402
SiteCheck Trade & Energy – Vessel Deadweight Tonnage Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).
Estimates vessel displacement and deadweight tonnage from hull dimensions (length, beam, draught, block coefficient) using standard naval architecture formulas, with optional cargo capacity calculation.

How this service works
Vessel displacement and deadweight estimate from hull dimensions: volume = length × beam × draught × block coefficient; displacement = volume × water density (sea 1.025, fresh 1.000 t/m³); deadweight = displacement − lightship weight (if given). Also returns the cargo capacity left after fuel, stores and ballast you enter. A design-stage estimate from standard formulas, not a vessel's official DWT; no ship registry lookup.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the computed underwater hull volume (m³), displacement in tonnes, deadweight tonnage (if lightship weight is provided), remaining cargo capacity (if consumables are provided), the water density used, and a note clarifying this is a design-stage estimate rather than an official DWT from class records.
Example use cases
Bulk carrier design stage DWT estimate
“I'm designing a Panamax bulk carrier — 225m length, 32.2m beam, 13.5m draught, block coefficient 0.83 in seawater. Lightship weight is 11500 tonnes. Can you estimate the displacement and available deadweight tonnage?”
Container ship cargo capacity planning
“For a container ship 300m long, 42m beam, 14m draught with a block coefficient of 0.65 in seawater, lightship 22000 tonnes and 3000 tonnes of fuel and stores — what's the remaining cargo capacity?”
River barge displacement in fresh water
“Can you work out the displacement for a river barge operating in fresh water — it's 90 metres long, 14 metres wide, 3.5 metres draught, with a block coefficient of 0.88?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/logistics/deadweight-tonnage-calc?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, formula-based estimate of vessel displacement or deadweight at the design stage, feasibility study, or cargo planning phase — without access to official stability booklets or ship registries. Ideal for naval architecture calculations, freight capacity modelling, or logistics planning where only hull dimensions are known. Not suitable when official certified DWT from classification records is required.
Side effects
- Missing required parameters (lengthM, beamM, draughtM) returns an error
- Block coefficient outside 0.35–0.90 range may yield unrealistic results
- Lightship weight greater than displacement produces negative or null deadweight
- Invalid numeric strings for dimension parameters cause parse errors
- Omitting lightship weight means deadweight and cargo capacity return null
