DEFINITIONS
The following definitions for the purpose of freeboard calculation are detailed in Regulation 3.
1. Length (L):
This is taken as 96% of the total length on a waterline at 85% of the least moulded depth, or, as the
length from the fore side of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock on that waterline, if greater.
2. Perpendiculars (FP, AP):
The forward and after perpendiculars are taken as being at the forward and after ends of the length
(L). The forward perpendicular shall coincide with the foreside of the stem on the waterline on which
the length (L) is measured.
3. Amidships:
Amidships is at the middle of the length (L).
4. Breadth (B):
Unless expressly provided otherwise, the breadth (B) is the maximum breadth of the ship, measured
amidships to the moulded line of the frame in a ship with a metal shell and to the outer surface of the
hull in a ship with a shell of any other material.
5. Moulded depth:
This is the vertical distance measured from the top of the keel to the top of the freeboard deck beam
at side.
In ships having rounded gunwales, the moulded depth shall be measured at the point of intersection
of the moulded lines of the deck and side shell plating, the lines extending as though the gunwale
were of angular design.
Where the freeboard deck is stepped and the raised part of the deck extends over the point at which
the moulded depth is to be determined, the moulded depth shall be measured to a line of reference
extending from the lower part of the deck along a line parallel with the raised part.

6 .Depth for freeboard (D):

This is the moulded depth amidships, plus the thickness of the freeboard deck stringer plate, where
fitted, plus T (L S)/L if the exposed freeboard deck is sheathed, where:
T is the mean thickness of the exposed sheathing clear of deck openings, and S is the total length of
superstructures.
The depth for freeboard (D) in a ship having a rounded gunwale with a radius greater than 4% of the
breadth (B) or having topsides of unusual form is the depth for freeboard of a ship having a midship
section with vertical topsides and with the same round of beam and area of topside section equal to
that provided by the actual midship section.
7. Block Coefficient (CB):
Is given by: CB = Volume of displacement at draught 0.85D
Length* Breadth* draught (at 85% of least moulded depth)
8 .Freeboards:
The freeboard assigned is the distance measured vertically downwards amidships from the upper edge
of the deck line to the upper edge of the related load line.
