When the loadicator fails, you can calculate the SF (Safe Factor) BM (Bending Moment) by using the vessel's hydrostatic tables and stability data. First, determine the vessel's weight and the distribution of loads, including cargo, ballast, and fuel. Then, compute the center of gravity (CG) and the center of buoyancy (CB) to find the metacentric height (GM). Finally, use the formula (BM = \frac{I}{V}), where (I) is the moment of inertia of the hull shape and (V) is the submerged volume, to estimate the bending moment and subsequently the safe factor.
