(1) These 6 values specify the Drift Added Mass of the structure indicated by the Data Category Keyword, at each of the 6 degrees of freedom of motion.
Typical values of drift added mass for a ship structure in the surge, sway direction are 10 to 100 per cent of the mass of displaced water. The rotational inertia in yaw is typically the same as that of the displaced water (i.e. the same as a solid mass of the same density and shape as that of the displaced water).
