RULES AS TO THE MEASUREMENT OF TONNAGE OR WOODEN SAILING VESSELS
1. The gross tonnage of the vessels shall be first ascertained as follows --
Method I, when the hold is clear--
A—For docked vessels.—(1) Measure the length of decked vessels in a straight line along the upper side of the tonnage deck at such a parallel distance from the middle line of the vessel as to clear the several hatchways and other obstacles that may present themselves. Having fixed upon the ends of this parallel line as for both forward and after as may be found convenient mark them on deck and transfer them on the middle line of the ship from inside of the stem of to the inside of the midship stern timber or plank, as the case may be. Deduct from this length what is due to the rake of the bow in the thickness of the deck. Thus required length is obtained.
Where an account of obstruction by hatches, deck-houses, etc. the length cannot be taken in one measurement, them then the same can be taken in parts depending on the number of obstructions and these parts subsequently added together to obtain the length.
Divide the length so obtained into the number of equal parts required as given in table below--
TABLE
(a) the vessel of which the tonnage deck is according to the above measurements 15 metres long or under into 4 equal posts.
(b) the vessels of which the tonnage deck is according to the above measurements about 15 metres long and not exceeding 60 metres into 6 equal parts.
(2) Depths.—The depth of the midship area is to be taken from the underside of the tonnage deck to the upperside of the floor timber, placing the depth measuring rod parallel to the middle place of the ship and also square to the keel by means of a square placed on the upperside of the keel on the keelson. The depths at the other areas to be taken in a similar manner, taking care where the keel or keelson curves upwards.
(3) Breadths.—The depths at any area being ascertained as above directed, and in divided into required number of equal parts, the points of division at which the breadths are to be taken are to be marked on the rod, and the rod being fixed in its original position, the breadths of the areas are to be taken by extending a tape horizontally thwart through each point, from plank to plank to its average thickness between the respective points of measurements or from inside the frame timbers.
When a batter or spar ceiling is fixed fitted of a greater thicknes than 75 millimetres, then 75 millimetres is to be regarded as maximum for which allowance is to be made when measuring the horizontal breadths, but when the thickness is less than this, the actual thickness only is to be allowed.
(4) Transverse areas. - The hold being first sufficiently cleared to admit of the required depths and breadths being properly taken, find in the transverse area of the ship at such point of division the length, the depth is measured at each point of division. In case of a break in the deck, the depth to be measured below or line stretched in continuation thereof. If the depth at the midship division of the length does not exceed 5 metres divide each depth into 4 equal parts and measure the inside horizontal breadths as mentioned in (3) at the five points. Measure the inside horizontal breadths alongwith the horizontal slide of the measuring rod (Part C) which is to be shifted to the points of divisions. Number these breadths from above i.e. numbering the upper breadth one and so on down to the fifth breadth multiply the second and fourth by four, the third by two add these products together and to the sum add the first breadth and fifth. Multiply the quantity thus obtained by one third of the common interval of depth between the breadths, and the product shall be deemed the transverse are of the section
(5) Computation from areas.—Having thus ascertained the Transverse are at each point of division of the length of vessel as required by the table, proceed to ascertain the gross tonnage, under the tonnage deck in the following manner—Number the areas respectively 1, 2, 3 etc. No.1 being the extreme limit, at bow and the last number at the extreme limit of the stern, then multiply the second and every even number area by four and odd number area by two (except the first and last) add these products together and to the sum add the first and last if they have any value, 1 multiply the quantity thus obtained by one third of the common interval of the length between the areas, and the product will be the cubical contents of the space; divide this product by 2.83 and the quotient being the tonnage under the tonnage deck, shall be deemed to be the gross tonnage of the vessel, subject to any additions and or deductions under these rules.
(6) If there be a break, a poop, or any other permanent close—in space on the upper deck available for cargo or accommodation of a passengers, the tonnage of that space shall be ascertained as follows :--
Measure the internal mean length of the space and divide it into two equal parts; measure at the middle of its height three inside breadths; such as one at each end and the other at the middle of its length, then to the sum of the end breadths add four times the middle breadths and multiply the whole sum by one third of the common interval between the breadths, the product will give the mean horizontal area of the space; then measure the mean height, and multiply by it the means horizontal area; divide the product by 2.83 and quotient shall be deemed the tonnage of the space.
(7) Measurement of machinery space—Measure the mean length, breadth and depth of the machinery space multiply together these dimensions and divide the product by 2.83 and the result shall be deemed the tonnage of the machinery space.
B—For undecked vessels.—The tonnage of undecked vessels shall be determined as in the case of a decked vessel, excepting the measurement of the length and depth. The length of the vessel is to be measured from the meeting of the upper strake to the stem and the stern. The depth shall be measured from the top edge of the uppermost strake at each division of length in accordance with the table laid down under para 1.
Method II.—When the hold is not clear.—For both decked and open type of vessels.—Multiply the length for tonnage measurement by the "breadth registered" and also "depth registered". Divide the product by 2.83 and multiply the quotient by 0.7. The result so obtained will be the tonnage of the vessel. Under the tonnage deck calculations for other enclosed spaces for the purpose of arriving the gross and net tonnage will be same as in the case of Method I.
2. Net tonnage.—The register or net tonnage of a vessel shall be arrived at after making from the gross tonnage determined in accordance with the provisions of para 1 deductions on account of the following spaces, provided they are reasonable in extent, such as :-
(1) Spaces occupied solely by the crew and their personal effects;
(2) Spaces occupied by vessel's stores, crew's provisions, fresh water, sails, ropes and tackles and space required for navigation of the vessel ;
(3) Space for machinery and fittings.
Provided that no deductions shall be made on account of any space, unless it has previously been included in the gross tonnage.
NOTES.—The tonnage measurement of a vessel shall be entered in Form SVT-1 as shown in Appendix.
2. All measurements for the purpose of ascertaining the tonnage of a vessel shall be in metres and fractions of a metre upto the nearest centimeters.
SCHEDULE III
[See rule 27]
A. For open type vessels.
F=L+15D +17
B. For decked Kotias, brigs and dungies,
F=L+7D+8
C. For decked vessels other than Kotias, Brigs and Dungies.

D= Depth of the vessel amidships in metres from top to keel to the top of free board deck at side in the decked vessels or top of permanent gunwale in open vessels.
Note-(i) Where depth "D" exceeds L/6, the difference in actual depth and L/6 will be added to the free board obtained by the relevant formulae.
(ii) The free board referred to above shall be free board in saltwater, the free board in fresh water of unit density shall be less than the free board in salt water by 5 centimetres.
(iii) Final free board shall be assigned with the addition of such amount of free board as the assigning authority may determine having regard to the classification, construction, construction, age and other conditions of the vessel.
(iv) The hatch coaming in decked vessel shall be at least 45 centimetres high and of substantial construction. Covers for hatchways openings shall be efficient with means of battening down weathertight.
(v) Sailing Vessels built prior to 1st January, 1961 and were specially built for carriage of logs having opening in the sides of the sailing vessel closed by temporary structures and having a depth less than L10 may be assigned free board at 1/3 of the free board obtained by formulae (A) provided that the temporary structure having a height of not less than (25D + 30) Cms is constructed efficiently to the satisfaction of the surveying authority. Where the depth "D" of the vessel is more than L/10 or the height of the temporary structure at side is less than (25D + 30) Cms or is not efficient the free board may be increased.
