Article 2(8)
Length
-
A.2(8)-1 When a ship does not have a rudder stock,
the length should be taken as 96% of the total length on a waterline
at 85% of the least moulded depth measured as defined in regulation 2(2).
-
A.2(8)-2 The 96% overall length should be used
for ships that do not have a clearly defined stem or stern, such as
column-stabilized units, submersibles, floating docks, and similar
ships.
-
A.2(8)-3 In the definition of "length" in article 2(8), the term "least moulded depth"
is the vertical distance measured from the top of the flat plate keel
(or equivalent lower terminus as described in regulation
2(2)) at the lowest point along the keel's length to the horizontal
line that is tangent to the underside of the upper deck at the ship's
side (or equivalent upper terminus as described in regulation
2(2)) at the lowest point along the upper deck's length. For
the purpose of this definition, the ship is considered to be trimmed
on a waterline parallel to the design waterline.
-
A.2(8)-4 Where more than one rudder is fitted,
the aftermost rudder stock is the rudder stock to be considered when
determining the length.
