Length, breadth and depth of Ship
Scantling Length (L)
L is the distance in meters
(feet) on the summer load line from the fore side of the stem to the centerline
of the rudder stock. For use with the Rules, L is not to be less than 96% and
need not be greater than 97% of the extreme length on the summer load line. The
forward end of L is to coincide with the fore side of the stem on the waterline
on which L is measured.
Freeboard Length (Lf)
Lf is the distance in meters
(feet) on a waterline at 85% of the least molded depth measured from the top of
the keel from the fore side of the stem to the centerline of the rudder stock
or 96% of the length on that waterline, whichever is greater. Where the stem is
a fair concave curve above the waterline at 85% of the least molded depth and
where the aftermost point of the stem is above the waterline, the forward end
of the length, Lf, is to be taken at the aftermost point of the stem above that
waterline.
In ships designed with a raked
keel, the waterline on which this length is measured is to be parallel to the
designed waterline.
Breadth (B)
B is the greatest molded breadth
in meters (feet).
Depth
Molded Depth (D)
D is the molded depth at side in
meters (feet) measured at the middle of L from the molded base line to the top
of the freeboard-deck beams. In vessels having rounded gunwales, D is to be
measured to the point of intersection of the molded lines of the deck and side
shell plating. In cases where watertight bulkheads extend to a deck above the
freeboard deck and are to be recorded in the Record as effective to that deck,
D is to be measured to the bulkhead deck.
Scantling Depth (Ds)
The depth Ds for use with
scantling requirements is the distance in meters (feet) from the molded base
line to the strength deck.
Draft (d)
d is the molded draft, and is the
distance in meters (feet) from the molded base line to the summer load line.
