(inboard from the ship's side at right angles to the centreline at the level corresponding to the assigned summer freeboard)

B/5 or 11.5 metres, whichever is less

(iii)

Vertical extent (vc)

from the base line upwards without limit

(b)

Bottom damage



For 0.3L from the forward perpendicular of the ship

Any other part of the ship

(i)

Longitudinal extent  (c):

L10

L/10 or 5 metres, whichever is less

(ii)

Transverse extent

B/6 or 10 metres whichever is less but not less than 5 metres

5 metres
