Calculation of third EOS number for hydrostatic balance method as per 4.3 of the IMO Guidelines (EOS3)

  .9 For the purpose of calculating EOS3, the draft is that corresponding to the Hydrostatic Balance Loading (HBL) configuration. Ballast may be used to achieve an increased draft only in determining EOS3.

Filling levels in the tanks identified for HBL should be equal to the maximum level determined by the formula shown in the Appendix to the Guidelines using uniform nominal oil density and corresponding draft. Refer to the annex.
