Wikipedia
Air draft
Air draft (or air draught) is the distance from the surface of the water to the highest point on a vessel. This is similar to the "deep draft" of a vessel which is measured from the surface of the water to the deepest part of the hull below the surface, but air draft is expressed as a height, not a depth.

Air draft
Air draft is the distance from the surface of the water to the highest point on a vessel, similar to the "deep draught" of a vessel which is measured from the surface of the water to the deepest part of the hull below the surface, but "air draught" is expressed as a height, not a depth. The vessel's clearance is the distance in excess of the air draft which allows a vessel to pass safely under a bridge or obstacle such as power lines, etc. A bridge's clearance is most often noted on charts as measured from the surface of the water to the under side of the bridge at Mean Highest High Water which is the most restrictive clearance. The height of the tide at any time below its highest point at MHHW will then increase the clearance under the bridge. In 2014, the United States Coast Guard reported that 1.2% of the allisions it investigated in the recent past were due to vessels attempting to pass underneath structures with insufficient clearance.
