LOAD LINE SHIP — DEPTH OF LOADING
Positions of deck line and load lines

Freeboard from deck line		Load line
Tropical ......................... (mm) (T)		......................... mm above S
Summer ......................... (mm) (S)		Upper edge of line through centre of ring
Winter ......................... (mm) (W)		......................... mm below S

Winter North Atlantic
(if assigned) .................................. (mm) (WNA) .................................. mm below S
Allowance for fresh water for all freeboards is ................................................................................. (mm)
The upper edge of the deck line from which these freeboards are measured is ................................................................ mm ................................................................................. deck at side.
Maximum draught of water in summer is ................................................................................. mm.
(The maximum draught of water in summer is the draught of water which would be shown on the scale in metres on the stem and stern post of the ship if it were so loaded that the upper edge of the summer load line is on the surface of the water and the ship is upright on an even keel.)
Note—
1.The above particulars of depth of loading as detailed in the following section of the logbook are to be recorded before the ship leaves any dock, wharf, harbour or other place for sea, as required by the Maritime (Fiji Small Craft Code) Regulations 2014 and the Maritime (Fiji Maritime Code) Regulations 2014.
2.The actual freeboard amidships on each side of the ship is to be measured from the upper edge of the deck line to the surface of the water, when the ship is loaded and ready to leave. The actual “mean” freeboard is the average of the actual freeboards, port and starboard.
3.If the density of water is determined by using a hydrometer with a top scale of 1000 or 00, meaning “full fresh water,” the hydrometer reading gives the density to be entered, eg, a reading of 15 means a density of 1015. If the hydrometer used has the scale reversed (00 is at the bottom of the scale and means “full salt water”), the density must be obtained by subtracting the hydrometer reading from 1025, and eg, if the reading is at 15, the density to be entered will be 1010.
4.The Winter North Atlantic load line, if assigned, applies for voyages across the North Atlantic north of latitude 36° N during the winter months.
5.The periods during which the other seasonal load lines apply in different regions of the world are as indicated in the International Convention on Load Lines.
