This term is used interchangeably with the term VCG. The 'K' refers to the keel of the vessel, which for many designs, is located at the baseline (Z=0). The 'G' refers to the centre of gravity point. Therefore, KG is the vertical distance between 'K' and 'G', which is the same as VCG.
Eli gama lisetyenziswa ngokuguquguqukayo negama'VCG'. UK ubhekiselela kwisiseko senqanawe, apho imifanekiso emininzi iyafumaneka kumgca osetyenziswa njengesiseko okanye indawo ekuqalwa kuyo (Z=0). U-G ubhekisele embindini wendawo yombizane womhlaba. Ngoko ke, uKG uba ngumgama othe nkqo phakathi ko'K' no'G' oba yinto enye no VCG.
