A system and method for calculating a draft/freeboard for a vessel. The system includes multiple sensor units, wherein each sensor unit includes a housing; a distance sensor to sense a freeboard from various positions in the vessel. The sensor unit includes a coupling member, such as magnets coupled to the housing that allow the sensor units to be mounted to the vessel. The sensor units can connect to a control unit for processing data and presenting the measurements. The system can calculate drafts from the freeboard data, wherein the freeboard data can be determined from different positions of the vessel.
