I am afraid I must disconfirm this interpretation of the 0 ship draugth setting. It actually means that ship's draugth is taken from model's absolute coordinate in the global space. In other words, the water line will lie where model's y coordinates are equal to 0. If you open any ship model in a 3D editor you will understand at once what I mean

As to why ships having this setting are spawned much lower that they should at times, I have no idea why this is happening. Another bugged feature maybe?

Yeah, that...Whatever... Anyway, it seems that Draught=0 has an effect on this bug...

If you can take ships sailing sometimes at "deck awash" as feature, than why not... It's a bug, but it's somewhat cool IMO...

Well, as I see it, it is a feature if it adds an acceptable level of reandomness to ship draft; it is a bug, or a buggy feature if makes ships to sail deck awash. Anyway I will check again the Kawasaki oiler that I had been working on years ago, since as I remember internal cargo made her to sail realistically lower than when she was sailing on ballast. There might be some magical combination of settings in her sim file making it to happen.
