FIRST SCHEDULE.
MEASUREMENT OF TONNAGE.
RULE 1.
1. (1) The length of the tonnage deck shall be measured in a straight line in the middle plane of the ship between the points at the forward and after ends of the deck where the underside of the deck, or the line of con- tinuation thereof in way of breaks or discontinuations of the deck, meets the inner face of the frames, timbers, ceiling or sparring as the case may be, Such length so measured is hereafter referred to in this Schedule and in the Second Schedule to these regulations as the "tonnage length",
(2) [n ships which have a break, or breaks, in a double bottom the tonnage length shall be measured in parts corresponding to the number and position of such break or breaks.
(3) The tonnage length, or the length of each of the several parts thereof obtained in accordance with sub-paragniph (2), shall be divided into equal parts as shown in the following table-
length 50 feel or under, into 4 equal parts;
length above 50 feet but not exceeding 120 feet, into & equal paris;
length above 120 feet but not exceeding 180 feet, into 8 equal
parts;
length above 180 feet but not execeding 225 feet, into 10 equal
parts;
length above 225 feet, into 12 equal parts:
Provided that the length of any of the several parts obtained in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) may be divided into 2 equal parts it such length is 30 feet or under.
(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 culculated as follows--
(a) The depth in the middle plane of the ship from the underside
of the tonnage deck to the lap of the open floor or double bortom as the case may be shall be measured, deducting therefrom the average thickness of ceiling, if fitted, and ons-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 straks, after deducting therefrom the average thickness of ceiling between the bilge planks and the limber strake.
