(4) The transverse area of the ship at each point of division of the tonnage length, or of parts of that length as aforesaid, shall be calculated as follows- (a) The depth in the middle plane of the ship from the underside of the tonnage deck to the top of the open floor or double bottom as the case may be shall be measured, deducting therefrom the average thickness of ceiling, if fitted, and one-third the round of beam. If the top of the double bottom falls from the middle plane of the ship, there shall be added to the depth the mean of the fall; if the top of the double bottom rises from the middle plane, a corresponding correction shall be deducted from the depth. In ships of wooden construction the lower terminal point of the depth shall be the upper side of the floor timber at the inside of the limber strake, after deducting therefrom the average thickness of ceiling between the bilge planks and the limber strake.(b) If the depth so obtained does not exceed 16 feet at the amidship division of the total tonnage length, the depth at each point of division of the tonnage length, or of parts of that length as aforesaid, shall be divided into 4 equal parts; depths in excess of 16 feet shall be divided into 6 equal parts. (c) At the point of division between each of the parts obtained in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) the horizontal breadths to the inner face of the timber, frame or sparring as the case may be shall be measured. Numbering these breadths from the tonnage deck, the even numbered breadths shall be multiplied by 4 and the others, with the exception of the first and last, by 2; these products shall be added together, and to the sum there shall be added the first and last breadths; the quantity thus obtained shall be multiplied by one-third of the common interval between the breadths and the product shall be the transverse area in square feet.(5) The transverse areas so obtained shall be numbered from the extreme forward point of measurement of the tonnage length, or of the parts thereof as the case may be; the even numbered areas shall be multiplied by 4 and the odd numbered areas, other than the first and last, by 2; these products shall be added together and to the sum there shall be added the area (if any) of the first and last; the quantity thus obtained shall be multiplied by one-third of the common interval between the areas; the product so obtained divided by 100 shall be the underdeck tonnage of the ship exclusive of the tonnage of spaces to be included therein pursuant to paragraph 5(b) of Schedule 2 (appendages). 2. Betweendeck space between the second deck and the upper deck (1) (a) Betweendeck space between the second deck and the upper deck shall be measured for length in a straight line in the middle plane of the ship between the points at the forward and after ends of the space where the inner surface of the frames, timbers, ceiling or sparring as the case may be meets the middle plane of the ship at half the height between the upper surface of the deck and the underside of the deck over. (b) Where a break exists in the second deck or the upper deck the line of the deck shall be extended through the break parallel to the raised part of the break; and the tonnage of the betweendeck space shall be measured in such a case by reference to the line of the deck so extended.(2) The length shall be divided into equal parts as provided in paragraph 1(3) of this Rule. At each of these points of division the horizontal breadth from the inner face of the frames, timbers or sparring as the case may be, shall be measured at half the height of the betweendeck space. (3) These breadths shall be numbered from the stem, the stem being number 1. The even numbered breadths shall be multiplied by 4 and the odd numbered, other |
