Moment to Change Trim 1 cm = MCT 1cm

The MCT 1 cm is the moment required to change the trim of the vessel by 1 cm and may be calculated by using the formula:
MCT 1 cm = W x GML/100L
where:
W = The vessel’s displacement in tonnes
GML = The longitudinal metacentric height in metres.
L = Vessels length in metres.
