(ii) Where c exceeds 0·62, the freeboard is multiplied by the
factor \frac{c + 0·62}{1·24}
(iii) Where D exceeds \frac{L}{12} the freeboard is increased by
\left{D - \frac{L}{12}\right} \times \left{1 + \frac{L}{250}\right} inches.
(iv) Where the actual depth to the surface of the freeboard deck
amidships is greater or less than D, the difference between the depths
(in inches) is added to or deducted from the freeboard.
Rule LXXVII.—Freeboard for Wood Sailing Ships.
The freeboard for a wood sailing ship is the final freeboard
the ship would obtain if she were of iron and steel, with the
addition of such penalties as the Assigning Authority may determine,
having regard to the classification, construction, age, and condition
of the ship.
Wood ships of primitive build such as dhows, junks, prahus, &c.,
are to be dealt with by the Administration so far as is reasonable
and practicable under the Rules for Sailing Ships.
Part V.—Load Lines for Steamers carrying Timber Deck Cargoes.
Definitions.
Timber Deck Cargo.—The term “timber deck cargo” means a
cargo of timber carried on an uncovered part of a freeboard or
superstructure deck. The term does not include wood pulp or
similar cargo.
Timber Load Line.—A timber load line is a special load line to
be used only when the ship is carrying a timber deck cargo in
compliance with the following conditions and regulations:—
Rule LXXVIII.—Marks on the Ship’s Sides.
Timber Load Lines.—The lines which indicate the maximum
timber load lines in different circumstances and at different seasons
are to be horizontal lines, 9 inches in length and 1 inch in breadth,
which extend from, and are at right angles to, a vertical line
marked 21 inches abaft the centre of the disc (see Figure 4).
They are to be marked and verified similarly to the ordinary load
lines (see Rules V to VII).
The Summer Timber Load Line is indicated by the upper edge
of a line marked LS.
The Winter Timber Load Line is indicated by the upper edge
of a line marked LW.
The Winter North Atlantic Timber Load Line is indicated by the
upper edge of a line marked LWNA.
The Tropical Timber Load Line is indicated by the upper edge
of a line marked LT.
The Fresh Water Timber Load Line in Summer is indicated by
the upper edge of a line marked LF. The difference between the
Fresh Water Timber load line in Summer and the Summer Timber
load line is the allowance to be made for loading in fresh water at
the other Timber load lines. The Fresh Water Timber load line
in the Tropical Zone is indicated by the upper edge of a line marked
LTF.*
FIGURE 4.
- Where seagoing steamers navigate a river or inland water, deeper loading is
permitted corresponding to the weight of fuel, &c., required for consumption
between the point of departure and the open sea.
