Load Lines Presentation

The document discusses international load line regulations for ships. Load lines indicate the maximum legal draft a ship can be loaded to. There are two main types of ships - Type A ships carry liquid cargo in bulk, while Type B ships do not. Type B ships are further divided into Type B60 and Type B100, which have different flooding survivability requirements. The document also outlines how freeboard is assigned based on factors like season, location, and ship type to ensure sufficient reserve buoyancy.

LOAD LINES

International Convention on Load Lines, 1966


LOAD LINES -
• Purpose

• The fundamental purpose of a Load Line is to allot a maximum legal limit up to which a ship
can be loaded by cargo
• To ensure ships have sufficient reserve buoyancy
• Exceptions (ILLC 66,Article 5)

• ships of war
• new ships of less than 24 metres in length
• existing ships of less than 150 tons gross
• pleasure yachts not engaged in trade
• fishing vessels
Type of Vessel
• Type ’A’ ship

• designed to carry only liquid cargoes in bulk

• 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

• has low permeability of loaded cargo compartments


• Type ’B’ ships
• All ships which do not come within the provisions regarding type ’A’ ships

• Two types of Type ‘B’ ships


• Type ‘B60’ ships
• Type ‘B100’ ships
Type ‘B60’ ships
• vessel have an LBP of between 100 and 150 m. It must survive the
flooding of any single compartment (excluding the machinery space)
• If greater than 150 m LBP, the machinery space must be considered as a
floodable compartment.
• A typical ship type for a Type (B-60) vessel is a bulk carrier.
• In such ships the freeboards shall be reduced to not more than 60% of the
difference between table A and table B for the same length of ship.
Type ‘B100’ ships
• vessel have an LBP of between 100 and 150 m. It must survive the
flooding of any two adjacent fore and aft compartments (excluding the
machinery space).
• If greater than 150 m LBP, the machinery space must be considered as a
floodable compartment
• In such ships the freeboards shall be reduced to not more than 100% of the
difference between table A and table B for the same length of the ship.
• The load line length is measured on waterline "d1" at 85 percent (0.85D) of the least moulded
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
• Vessels without a rudder stock: For barges and similar hulls, the load line length is
simply 96 percent of the total waterline length on the 0.85D waterline
Lines to be used with the Load Line Mark
(ILLC 66, Reg. 6)
Freeboard Assignment
• Calculation for Freeboard from deck line

• Summer (S)
𝐷−(𝑆)
• Winter (W) = (S )+ Allowance freeboard 48
• Winter North Atlantic = 𝐿 ≤ 100, 𝑊 + 50 𝑜𝑟 𝐿 ≥ 100, 𝑊
𝐷−(𝑆)
• Tropical (T) = (S) - Allowance freeboard 48
10𝑊
• Fresh Water (F) = (S) – Allowance freeboard
40𝑇𝑃𝐶
10𝑊
• Tropical Fresh (TF) = (T) - Allowance freeboard 40𝑇𝑃𝐶
Freeboard Assignment

How to check
• Depth – Draft – summer
load lines = thickness plating
• Summer – tropical =
allowance freeboard (vice
versa)
