THE METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF THE DISPLACEMENT OF DEFLECTED SHIPS DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 5 Field of application This invention applies to more accurate determination of the displacement of merchant ships built from elastic materials, which suffers from significant temporary or permanent longitudinal deflections in ships service due to hull bending, 10 such as hull sagging or hogging, what provokes changes of the immersed hull form, leading to inaccuracies in determination of the ships displacement, particularly important for modern large merchant ships. According to International Classification, this invention can be classified as : B-63 (Ships and floating objects) 9/08 (Properties) 15 Technical problem The problem tackled by this invention is the more accurate determination of ships displacement whose hull under longitudinal loadings caused by bending, changes the immersed hull form. Absolutely accurate determination of ships displacement is very complex and in most cases impossible, due to a number of imperceptible and immeasurable 20 circumstances, such as, temporary or permanent, longitudinal or transverse, local or global, residual or thermal deformations, as well as corrosion, ageing, damages, reparations or hull fouling, what cannot be accounted for in realistic conditions of the ships service. The ships displacement is the most important property for determination of the ships operational efficiency and every improvement in practices and accuracy of its determinations is useful either for the ships crew or for the ship-owner. 25 State of art The shipping practice applies simplified approximate method for the de
