TPC is the weight which must be loaded or discharged for any given draught , to change the ship's mean draught by 1cm.
TPC= Water Plane Area* density/100
Significance:
TPC values for the draught range of a ship allow us to calculate how much cargo/ballast etc., to load or discharge to achieve a required draught.
