What this calculator does

Calculates Marine Container Ship TEU Slot Allocation & Center of Gravity using the formula verified against the cited source.

What your result means

An estimate from the inputs you enter, within the scope stated below — not advice.

Formula

Uniform full stack: vertical CG = base elevation + N × tier height ÷ 2 (in general Σ(wᵢ·zᵢ) ÷ Σwᵢ)

The step-by-step working for your own numbers appears with the result above and in the PDF report.

Frequently asked questions

Symbols and assumptions

Inputs
The values entered in the fields above
  • • Container-stack vertical CG=Σ(weight_i×height_of_each_container_CG_i)/Σweight_i. For N identical, fully occupied tiers of height h above deck elevation z, stack CG=z+Nh/2.

  • • The current average-weight assumption supports only an ideal uniform stack. Tiers are not TEU slots, and stack CG is not whole-ship KG. Actual weights,20/40ft arrangement, ship/lightweight/fuel moments and approved loading/lashing/stability data are absent. Do not label this a TEU allocation or vessel-stability calculation.

Important limitation

This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
