  Key Concepts:
  Displacement is a term used in the SAP TM-ADP-CSL-NAO Network & Operations for Container Shipping Liners component. It is a measure of the weight of a vessel, and is calculated by subtracting the weight of the water it displaces from the total weight of the vessel. This measurement is used to determine the amount of fuel needed to move the vessel, as well as its carrying capacity.
  
  How to use it:
  In order to calculate displacement, you must first determine the total weight of the vessel. This can be done by weighing it on a scale or by using a formula that takes into account its length, width, and height. Once you have determined the total weight, you must then subtract the weight of the water it displaces from this number. This will give you an accurate measure of displacement.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When calculating displacement, it is important to take into account any additional items that may be on board the vessel, such as cargo or fuel. These items will add to the total weight and must be taken into account when calculating displacement. Additionally, it is important to remember that displacement is affected by changes in temperature and salinity, so these factors should also be taken into consideration when calculating displacement.
