 E. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON LOAD LINES, 1966

Introduction and history

Make n recognized that limitations on the drauaht to which a ship may be

loaded

Wbik sgcant contribution to her safety. These limits are given in the form of
freeboards,

EConstitute, besides external weathertiaht and watertight integrity, the main

Objective

Of the Convention.

E iSt International Convention on Load Lines, adopted in 1930, was based on

the

Prineiple of reserve buoyancy, althouah it was recoanized then that the

freeboard should

Diso ensure adequate stability and avoid excessive stress on the ship’s hull
as a resuit Of

Overloading.

In 1963, IMCO Assembly approved a convening of a Conference to address

tne ee

Of establishing new load line regulations, which was held from March 3 to
April 5, 1966

The conference adopted and opened for signature and ratification the
International Convention

On Load Lines, 1966 and eventually entered into force on July 21, 1968.

Considering the need for safeguarding life and property, the 1996 Load Line
convention

Set out uniform principles and rules for a minimum freeboard that a loaded
ship

Should be floating.

A minimum freeboard is required principally to ensure that the ship is

seaworthy
When loaded. The minimum freeboard provides the ship with a reserve
buoyancy which

Enables it to rise as it passes through waves and thus remain largely dry on
its decks. This

Reserve buoyancy also improves the vessel’s stability and in the event of
damage will enable it

To remain afloat indefinitely or at least for a time, to effect the escape of the
crew.

The regulations take into account the potential hazards present in different
zones and

Different seasons. The technical annex contains several additional safety

measures concerning

Doors, freeing ports, hatchways and other items. The main purpose of these
measures is to

Ensure the watertight integrity of ships’ hulls below the freeboard deck.

All assigned load lines must be marked amidships on each side of the ship,
together

With the deck line. Ships intended for the carriage of timber deck cargo are
assigned a

Smaller freeboard as the deck cargo provides protection against the impact
of waves

Load Lines 1966 – Annexes

The Convention includes:

Annex I divided into four Chapters:

• Chapter I – General;

• Chapter II – Conditions of assignment of freeboard;

• Chapter III – Freeboards;

. Chapter IV – Special requirements for ships assigned timber freeboards..

Annex II Covers Zones, areas and seasonal periods.

Annex III Contains certificates, including the International Load Line
Certificate

Amendments 1971, 1975, 1979, 1983

The 1966 Convention provided for amendments to be made by positve

acceptance. Armendments

Could be considered by the Maritime Safety Committee, the IMO Assembly or

by a Conference

E Governments. Amendments would then only come int0 force 12 months

after being accepted

FwO-thirds of Contracting Parties. In practice, amendments adopted between

1971 and

0g3 never received enough acceptances to enter into force. These included-

The 1971 amendments – to make certaln improvements to the text and to

the chart of

Zones and seasonal areas;

The 1975 amendments- to introduce the principle of ‘tacit acceptance’ into

the

Convention;

The 1979 amendments – to make some alterations to zore boundaries off the
Coast of

Australia; and

The 1983 amendments – to extend the summer and tropical zones

southward off the

Coast of Chile.

The 1988 Protocol

The 1966 LL Convention was modified by the 1988 Pro tocol relating theretO,
Wicwe
Adopted on 11 November 1988 by the International, Conference on the
Harmontze

System of Survey and Certification and entered inttɔ force on 3 February

2000.

The Protocol was primarily adopted n order to harnmonize the Convention’s

survey

And certification requirement with those contained in SOLAS and MARPOL

73/78.

The 1971, 1975, 1979 and 1983 amendments to the 1966 LL Convention
were incorporated

Into the 1988 Protocol itself.

All three instruments require the issuing of certificates to show that

requirements have

Been met and this has to be done by means of a survey which can involve
the ship being

Out of service for several days.

The harmonized system alleviates the problems caused by survey dates and
intervals

Between surveys which do not coincide, so that a ship should no longer have
to go into

Port or repair yard for a survey required by ore: Convention shortly after
doing the same

Thing in connection with another instrument.

The 1988 Load Lines Protocol revised certain regulations in the tech nical
Annexes to

The Load Lines Convention and Introduced the tacit amendment procedure
(which was

Already applicable to the 1974 SOLAS Convent:ion).Amendments to the

Convention may be

Considered either by the Maritime Safety Com mittee or by a Conference of

Parties.
Amendments must be adopted by a twO-thirds majority of Parties to the
Convention present

And voting. Amendments enter into force six months after the deemed date
of acceptance

- Which must be at least a year after the date of communication of

adoption of amendments

Unless they are rejected by one-third of Partie:s. Usually, the date from
adoption to deemed

Acceptance is two years.

The 1995 amendments. Adopted: 23 November 1995. Entry into force: 12

months afer

Being accepted by two-thirds of Contrac:ting Governments. Status:

superseded by 2003

Amendments

The 20o3 amendments. Adopted: June 2003. Entry into force: 1 January 2005

The amendments to Annex B to the 1988 Load Lines Protocol include a

number of

Important revisions, in particular to regulations concerning: strength and

intact stability

Of ships; definitions; superstructure and bulkheads; doors; position of

hatchways, doorways

And ventilators: hatchway coarnings; natCh coverS machinery Space

openings; miscellaneOE

Openings in freeboard and superstruicture deckS; cargo ports and other

similar s

Spurling pipes and cable lockers; side scutcles; windows and skylights;
calculation of freeing

Ports; protection of the crew and rneans of safe passage for crew; calculation
of freeboard;

Sheer; minimum bow height and reserve buoyancy; and others

The amendments, which amount to a

Comprehensive revision of the technical regulations of the original Load

Lines Convention. Do not affect the 1966 Load Lines Con vention and only
apply to approximately th0se shins Fving the fags of Sta tes Party to the
1988

Load Lines Protocol.

Of the ship are fitted with permanent means of watertight closing.

In a ship having a discontinuous freeboard deck, the lowest line of the

Exposed deck and the continuation of that line parallel to the upper

Part of the deck is taken as the freeboard deck.

At the option of the owner and subject to the approval of the

Administration, a lower deck may be designated as the freeboard deck

Provided it is a complete and permanent deck continuous in a fore and

Aft direction at least between the machinery space and peak bulkheads

And continuous athwartships.

When this lower deck is stepped the lowest line of the deck and the

Continuation of that line parallel to the upper part of the deck is taken

As the freeboard deck. When a lower deck is designated as the freeboard

Deck, that part of the hull which extends above the freeboard deck is

Treated as a superstructure so far as concerns the application of the

Conditions of assignment and the calculation of freeboard. It is from

This deck that the freeboard is calculated.

•A Supertructure is a decked structure on the freeboard deck,

Extending from side to side of the ship or with the side plating not

Being inboard of the shell plating more than 4% of the breadth (B).

A raised quarter-deck is regarded as a superstructure.

• An enclosed superstructure is a superstructure with:

Enclosing bulkheads of efficient construction;

Access openings, if any, in these bulkheads fitted with daors

Complying with the requirements.

All other openings in sides or ends of the superstructure fitted

With efficient weathertight means of closing.

A bridge or poop shall not be regarded as enclosed unless access

Is provided for the crew to reach machinery and other working

Spaces inside these superstructures by alternative means which

Are available at all times when bulkhead openings are closed.

The height of a superstructure is the least vertical height measured

At side from the top of the superstructure deck beams to the top of

The freeboard deck beams.

• The length of a superstructure (S) is the mean length of the part of

The superstructure which lies within the length (4).

A flush deck ship is one which has no superstructure on the freeb0ard

Deck.

Weathertight means that in any sea conditions water will not penetrate

Into the ship.

ASSIGNING OF FREEBOARD
In order to assign freeboards, ships are divided into Type "A" and "B".

A Type "A" ship is one which:

a. is designed to carry only liquid cargoes in bulk;

b. has a high integrity of the exposed deck with only small access openings
to cargo

compartments, closed by watertight gasketed covers of steel or equivalent

material;

C. has low permeability of loaded cargo compartments.

Type "B" ships - are those which are not of type "A".

Criteria Requirement:

Type "A" ships, if over 150 meters in length and designed to have empty

compartments when loaded to its summer load waterline shall:

be able to withstand the flooding of any one these empty compartments

(0.95

permeability)

• and remaln afloat in a condition of satisfactory equilibrium

Type "B" ships, when loaded to its summer load waterline;

will remain afloat in a satisfactory conditlon of equlibrium after flooding of

any single

damage compartment (0.95 permeability)

Limits of satisfactory Equilibrium:

The final waterline after flooding is below the lower edge of any opening
through

which progressive flooding may take place.

The maximum angle of heel due to unsymmetrical flooding is of the order of

150.

The meta centric height in the flooded in the flooded condition is positive,

Assumptions use in calculating freeboard:

FOR TYPE "B" SHIPS:

The vertical extent of damaged is equal to the depth of the ship.

The penetration of damage is not more than Breadth/5

No main transverse bulkhead is damaged

Ne neight of center of gravity above the baseline is assessed allowing for

homogenous

Loading of cargo holds, and for 50 percent of the desiqned capacity of

Consumable

Fluids and stores, etc..

CONDITIONS OF ASSIGNMENT OF FREEBOARD:

To assign freeboard, certain requirements must be met to ensure the

watertightness of

Openings and the ability of the ship to rapidly free itself of water on its
decks.

Such requirements pertain to:

Structural strength and stability

Hatchways-portable covers, watertight steel covers, machinery openings

Other openings in freeboard and superstructure decks – manholes, scuttles,

ventilators,

Air-pipes cargo ports, scuppers, inlets and discharges, side scuttles, freeing
ports

Protection of the crew

Special conditions for the type “A” ships;

Machinery casings

Gangway and access

Hatchways and freeing arrangements

ZONE, AREAS AND SEASONAL PERIODS

The zones and areas are generally based on the following criteria:
 - Not more than 10% winds of Beaufort force 8 (34 knots) or more.

TROPICAL – not more than 1% winds of Beaufort force 8 (34 knots) or more.

E. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON TONNAGE MEASUREMENT OF SHIPS,

1969

Introduction

The Convention, adopted by Imo on June 23. 1969, was the first successful
attempt to

Introduce a universal tonnage measurement system.

Previously, various systems were used to calculate the tonnage of merchant

ships. Although

All went back to the method devised by George Moorsom of the British Board
of Trade in

1854, there were considerable differences between them and it was

recognized that there
Was a great need for one single international system.

The Convention provides for gross and net tonnages, both of which are
calculated

Independently.

The rules apply to all ships built on or after 18 July 1982 – the date of entry
into force –

While ships built before that date were allowed to retain their existing
tonnage for 12 years

After entry into force, or until 18 July 1994.

This phase-in period was intended to ensure that ships were given
reasonable economiC

Safeguards, since port and other dues are charged according to ship
tonnage. At the

Same time, and as far as possible, the Convention was drafted to ensure that
gross and net

Tonnages calculated under the new system did not differ too greatly from
those calculated

Under previous methods.

Tonnage is a measure of thee size or cargo capacity of a ship.

History

The term tonnage derives from the taxation paid on tuns (casks) of wine that
held

Approximately 252 gallons of wine and weighed approximately 2,240

pounds. (This suggests

That the unit of weight measurement, long tons (also 2,240 pounds) and
tonnage both

Share the same etymology). It was later used in reference to the weight of a
ship’s cargo,

However, in modern maritime usage, “tonnage” specifically refers to a

calculation of the
Volume or cargo volume of a ship. The term is still sometimes incorrectly
used to refer to

The weight of a loaded or empty vesel. The confusion between weight based
terms

(deadweight and displacement) stems from this common source and the
eventual decision

To assess dues based on a ship’s deadweight rather than counting the tuns
of wine. In 1720

The Builders Old Measurement Rule was adopted to estinmate deadweight

from the lenath of

Keel and maximum breadth or beam of a ship. This overly simplistic system
was replaced by

The Moorsom System in 1854 and calculated internal volume, not weight.
This system

Evolved into the current set of internationally accepted rules and regulations.

When steamships came into being, they could carry less cargo, size for size,
than salling

Ships. As well as spaces taken up by boilers ana steam engines, steamships

carried extra

Fresh water for the boilers as well as coal for the engines. Thus, to move the
same volume

Of cargo as a sailing ship, a steamship would be considerably larger than a

sailing shin

“Harbour Dues” are based on tonnage. In order to prevent steamships

operating at a

Disadvantage, various tonnage calculations were established to minimise the

disadvantage

That the extra space requirernents of steamships presented. Rather than

charging by length

Or displacement etc, charges were calculated on the viable cargo space. As

commercial
Cargo sailing ships are now largely extinct, Gross Tonnage is becoming the
universal

Method of calculating ships dues, and is also a more straight-forward and

transparent

Method of assessment.

Tonnage measurements

Gross Register Tonnage represents the total nternai volume of a vessel, with
some

Exemptions for non-productive spaces such as crew quiarters. One gross

register ton is

Equal to a volume of 100 cubic feet (2.83 m3). This calculation is complex; a
hold, for

Instance, can be assessed for grain (accounting for all the air space in the
hold) or for bales

(exempting the spaces between structural frames). GRT (gross registered

tons) is now an

Obsolete term. It was replaced by gross tonrage (GT) in 1994, under the
Tonnage

Measurement convention of 1969.

Net Register Tonnage is the volume of cargo the vessel can carry; ie. The
Gross

Register Tonnage less the volume of space:s that will not: hold cargo (e.g.
engine

Compartment, helm station, crew spaces, etc., aain with differences

depending on
Which port or country is doing the calculations). It represents the volume of
the ship

Available for transporting freight or p assengers. NRT (net registered tons) is

likewise

Now an obselete term. It was replaced by net torinaqe (NT) in 1994, under
the Tonnage

Measurement conven tion of 1969.

Gross Tonnage (GT) means the T.easure of the Cverall size of a ship or refers
to the

Volume of all ship’s enclosed spaces (from keel to funnel) measuired to the
outside of the

Hull franming. It is always larger thari gross register tonnage, though by how
much depends

On the vessel design. . It was a measurement of the enclosed spaces within

a ship expressed

In “tons” – a unit which was actually equivalent to 100 cubic fee:t.

Tonnage measurements are now governed by arn IMO Convention

(International Convention

On Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969 (London-Ruies) ), which applies to

all ships built

After July 1982. In accordance vwith the Convention, the correct term to use
now is GT,

Which is a function of the moulded volume of all enclosed spa.ces of the

ship.

It is calculated by using the formula: GT = K, x V

Where;

V total volume of all enclos ed spaces of the ship in cubic meters (m)

K, = a figure from 0.22 up to .32, depending on the ship’s size.

It is calculated by using the Formu’a: K, = 0.2+(0. D:2 x log V) (see table

below)

Net tonnage (NT) means the measure of the useful capacity of a ship. It is
based on a

Calculation of the volume of all carao spaces of the ship. It indicates a

Space and is a function of the moulded volume of all cargo spaces of the
Ship. E net

Tonnage (NT) Shall not be taken as less than 309% of the gross tonnage (GT).
A commonly

Deined measurement system is important: since a ship’s registration fee,

harbour dues,

Sarety and manning rules etc, are bassed on its aross tonnage, GT, Or net
tonnage, NI.

It is calculated by using the formula: NT = K.V. 4d + K, (N, + N,) where;

= total volumne of cargo spaces in cubic mneters (m’)

=0.2 t (0.02 x log V) (or as tabulated in Appendix 2)

indicated in

The ship’s passenger certificate

Note:

The factor 4d² shall not be taken as greater than unity

The term K,V. 4d² shall not be taken as less than 0.25 GT

NT shall not be taken as less than 0.30 GT

The Panama Canal/Universal Measurement System (PC/UMS) is based on net

tonnage,

Modified for Panama Canal purposes. PC/UMS is based on a mathematical

formula to calculate

A vessel’s total volume; a PC/UMS net ton is equivalent to 100 cubic feet of
capacity.

Many people in many countries, including those professional people working

in maritime

Industries for many years or even in their lifetime, often confuse “Tornage”
and “Ton”

Please note that “Tonnage” refers to the unit ofa ship’s volume in
measurement for registration

And “Ton” refers to the unit of weight. They are totally different in concept.

Weight measurements

While not “tonnage” in the proper sense, the following methods of ship
measurenent are

Often incorrectly referred to as such Displacement, Lightship and

Deadweight.

DISPLACEMENT

LIGHTSHIP

DEADWEIGHT

UPPER DECK

MOULDED DEPTH

• DEFINITION OF TERMS

Is the actual total weight of the vessel. It is often expressed in long

Tons or in metric tons, and is calculated simply by multiplying the volume

Of the hull below the waterline (ie. The volume.of water it is displacing)

By the density of the water. (Note that the density will depend on

Whether the vessel is in fresh or salt water, or is in the tropics, where

Water is warmer and hence less dense.) For example, in sea water, first

Determine the volume of the submerged portion of the hull as follows:

Multiply its length by Its breadth and the draft, all in feet. Then multiply
The product thereby obtained by the block coefficient of the hull to get

The hull volume in cubic feet. Then multiply this figure by 64 (the

Weight of one cubic foot of seawater) to get the weight of the ship in

Pounds; or divide by 35 to calculate the weight in long tons. Using the

SI or metric system: displacement (in tonnes) is volume (in m3) multiplied

By the specific gravity of sea water (1.025 nominally).

The word “displacement” arises from the basic physical law, discovered

By Archimedes, that the weight of a floating object equates exactly to

That of the water which would otherwise occupy the “hole in the water”

Displaced by the ship.

Measures the actual weight of the ship with no fuel, passengers, cargo,

Water, etc. on board.

(often abbreviated as DWT for deadweight tonnes) is the displa cement

At any loaded condition minus the lightship weight. It includes the

Crew, passengers, carg0, fuel, water, and stores. Like Displacement, it

Is often expressed in long tons or in metric tons.

The upper deck is the uppermost complete deck exposed to weather

And sea, which has permanent means of weathertight closing of all

Openings in the weather part thereof, and below which all openings in

The sides of the ship are fitted with permanent means of watertight

Closing. In a ship having a stepped upper deck, the lowest line of the

Exposed deck and the continuation of that line parallel to the upper

Part of the deck is taken as the upper deck.

. The moulded depth is the vertical distance measured from the top of

The keel to the underside of the upper deck at side. In wood and

Composite ships the distance is measured from the lower edge of the

Keel rabbet. Where the form at the lower part of the midship section
Is of a hollow character, or where thick garboards are fitted. The

Distance is measured from the point where the line of the flat of the

Bottom continued inwards cuts the side of the keel
