Ton-miles while making short trip

The ton-miles of work performed in short trip operation is also in term of round trips.

The ton-miles of work done in making a short trip is equal to the difference between round ton-miles of end depth and starting depth. The formula for short trip ton-miles is listed below;

Tst = T6 – T5

Where; Tst = ton-miles for short trip
T6 = ton-miles for one round trip at the deeper depth
T5 = ton-miles for one round trip at the shallower depth

Example;

Please determine short trip ton-miles from 8000 ft to 8050 ft
Ton-miles @ 8050 ft = 200
Ton-miles @ 8000 ft = 190
Tst = (200 – 190)
Tst = 10 ton-miles
