What do the rated buoyancy and actual load capacity of a floating body mean?

The rated buoyancy is the maximum buoyant force generated when the floating body is fully submerged; the actual safe load capacity does not equal the maximum buoyancy. We will reserve a safety margin, resulting in an actual allowable load weight lower tha

The rated buoyancy is the maximum buoyant force generated when the floating body is fully submerged; the actual safe load capacity does not equal the maximum buoyancy. We will reserve a safety margin, resulting in an actual allowable load weight lower than the theoretical buoyancy to ensure safe offshore operations. We will provide the safe working load parameters for each floating body model.
