C= 1
C= 1.0 for ships without bilge keel when Tr < 20 sec Notes:
C= 0.9 for ships with bilge keel when Tr < 20 sec C may be interpolated between 0.75 and 0.9 when 20<
C= 0.75 for ships with bilge keel when Tr >30 sec C specially considered for active roll damping

Wind Loading
Wind forces (not included above) are to be applied to exposed stacks of containers.
8.5 ft height: 20' container 1.0 metric tons
40' container 2.0 metric tons
For containers of other dimensions, wind forces may be based on a wind pressure of 0.0633 metric tons/sq. m
