    Determining Load Line Length 1

    Uploaded by

    The document describes how to determine the load line length for a ship based on its molded depth and waterlines. The load line length is measured on the waterline that is 85% of the ship's least molded depth. It is then calculated as either 96% of the total waterline length, or the length from the forward side of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock, whichever is longer. If the freeboard deck is stepped, the molded depth is measured to a reference line extending parallel from the lower part of the deck.

    Determining Load Line Length -- Flat keel

    The load line length is measured on waterline "d1" at 85 percent (0.85D) of the least
    molded depth "D." The load line length is either:

     96 percent of the total waterline length, or


     the waterline length from the FP (forward side of the stem) to the axis of the
    rudder stock, whichever is longer.

    In the figure above, the freeboard deck is parallel to the keel (i.e., no sheer), so the
    molded depth is also the least molded depth at every point along the hull. If the
    vessel's least molded hull depth "D" is 30 feet, then the length is measured on the "d1"
    waterline 25.5 feet up from the top of the keel. The load line length is either 96 percent
    of that waterline length, or the waterline length from the FP to the axis of the rudder
    stock, whichever is longer.

    Determining Load Line Length -- Discontinuous Freeboard Deck

    Where the freeboard deck is stepped and the raised part of the deck extends over the
    point at which the molded depth is to be determined, the molded depth "D" is to be
    measured to a reference line extending from the lower part of the freeboard deck and
    parallel to the raised part.

    The load line length is measured on the 0.85D waterline as per above.
