Draft, aft refers to the minimum depth of water required for a vessel to float with its stern (rear part) underwater. For instance, when a ship’s captain mentions the draft, aft reading 2 meters at the stern, it implies that the ship needs at least 2 meters of water depth at the stern for it to float with its stern underwater.
