sfred Posted July 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Perhaps it refers to QE's length, which is approx 964 feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM2_SYD Posted July 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2023 LOA = Length OverAll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfred Posted July 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Thanks @QM2_SYD. I found a Wikipedia entry on the various ship length acronyms... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_overall ... which has a good explanation of LOA, LWL, LOD, and LOH..

I have almost mastered the difference between civil twilight, nautical twilight, and astronomical twilight, so this is a new set of measurements where I can be confused all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder this important to publish in the Port schedule of arrivals? Far better would be the ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters to the port and to agents of shipping lines, in that it determines how many ships can berth along the same pier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
