Length of Superstructure
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this Regulation,
the length of a superstructure (S) shall be the mean length of the
parts of the superstructure which lie within the length (L).
(2) Where the end bulkhead of an enclosed superstructure
extends in a fair convex curve beyond its intersection with the
superstructure sides. the length of the superstructure may-be
increased. This increase shall be two-thirds of the fore and aft
extent of the portion of superstructure formed by the curved
bulkhead. The maximum curvature which may be taken into account in
determining this increase is one-half the breadth of the
superstructure at the point of intersection of the curved end of
the superstructure with its side.
Regulation 35
Effective Length of Superstructure
(1) Except as provided for in paragraph (2) of this
Regulation, the effective length (E) of an enclosed superstructure
of standard height shall be its length.
(2) In all cases where an enclosed superstructure of standard
height is set in from the sides of the ship as permitted in
Regulation 3 (10), the effective length shall be the length
modified by the ratio of b/Bs, where b is the breadth of the
superstructure at the middle of its length; and Bs is the breadth
of the ship at the middle of the length of the superstructure.
Where a superstructure is set in for a part of its length,
this modification shall be applied only to the set in part.
(3) Where the height of an enclosed superstructure is less
than the standard height, the effective length shall be its length
reduced in the ratio of the actual height to the standard height.
Where the height exceeds the standard, no increase shall be made
to the effective length of the superstructure.
(4) The effective length of a raised quarter deck, if fitted
with an intact front bulkhead, shall be its length up to a maximum
of 0.6 L. Where the bulkhead is not intact, the raised quarter
deck shall be treated as a poop of less than standard height.
(5) Superstructures which are not enclosed shall have no
effective length.
Regulation 36
Trunks
(1) A trunk or similar structure which does not extend to the
sides of the ship shall be regarded as efficient on the following
conditions:
(a) the trunk is at least as strong as a superstructure;
(b) the hatchways are in the trunk deck, and the hatchway
coamings and covers comply with the requirements of Regulations 13
to 16 inclusive and the width of the trunk deck stringer provides
a satisfactory gangway and sufficient lateral stiffness. However,
small access openings with watertight covers may be permitted in
the freeboard deck;
(c) a permanent working platform fore and aft fitted with
guard rails is provided by the trunk deck, or by detached trunks
connected to superstructures by efficient permanent gangways;
(d) ventilators are protected by the trunk and watertight
covers, if the height of the ventilator is below that specified in
Regulation 19 (3) of this Annex;
(e) open rails are fitted on the weather parts of the
freeboard deck in way of the trunk for at least half their length;
(f) the machinery casings are protected by the trunk, by a
superstructure of at least standard height, or by a deckhouse of
the same height and of equivalent strength;
(g) the breadth of the trunk is at least 60 per cent of the
breadth of the ship; and
(h) where there is no superstructure, the length of the trunk
is at least 0.6 L.
(2) The full length of an efficient trunk reduced in the ratio
of its mean breadth to В shall be its effective length.
(3) The standard height of a trunk is the standard height of a
superstructure other than a raised quarter deck.
(4) Where the height of a trunk is less than the standard
height, its effective length shall be reduced in the ratio of the
actual to the standard height. Where the height of hatchway
coamings on the trunk deck is less than that required under
Regulation 15 (1), a reduction from the actual height of trunk
shall be made which corresponds to the difference between the
actual and the required height of coaming.
Regulation 37

Regulation 38
Sheer
General
(1) The sheer shall be measured from the deck at side to a
line of reference drawn parallel to the keel through the sheer
line amidships.
(2) In ships designed with a rake of keel, the sheer shall be
measured in relation to a reference line drawn parallel to the
design load waterline.
(3) In flush deck ships and in ships with detached
superstructures the sheer shall be measured at the freeboard deck.
(4) In ships with topsides of unusual form in which there is a
step or break in the topsides, the sheer shall be considered in
relation to the equivalent depth amidships.
(5) In ships with a superstructure of standard height which
extends over the whole length of the freeboard deck, the sheer
shall be measured at the superstructure deck. Where the height
exceeds the standard the least difference (Z) between the actual
and standard heights shall be added to each end ordinate.
Similarly, the intermediate ordinates at distances of 1/6 L and
1/3 L from each perpendicular shall be increased by 0.444 Z and
0.111 Z respectively.
(6) Where the deck of an enclosed superstructure has at least
the same sheer as the exposed freeboard deck, the sheer of the
enclosed portion of the freeboard deck shall not be taken into
account.
(7) Where an enclosed poop or forecastle is of standard height
with greater sheer than that of the freeboard deck, or is of more
than standard height, if paragraph (6) of this Regulation has not
been used an addition to the sheer of the freeboard deck shall be
made as provided in paragraph (12) of this Regulation.

Measurement of Variation from Standard Sheer Profile
(9) Where the sheer profile differs from the standard, the
four ordinates of each profile in the forward or after half shall
be multiplied by the appropriate factors given in the table of
ordinates. The difference between the sums of the respective
products and those of the standard divided by 8 measures the
deficiency or excess of sheer in the forward or after half. The
arithmetical mean of the excess or deficiency in the forward and
after halves measures the excess or deficiency of sheer.
(10) Where the after half of the sheer has an excess and the
forward half of the sheer has a deficiency, no credit shall be
allowed for the part in excess and deficiency only shall be
measured.
(11) Where there is an excess in the forward half of the sheer
and in the after half there is a deficiency which does not exceed
25 per cent, credit shall be allowed for the excess. When the
deficiency in the after part of the sheer exceeds 50 per cent,
then no credit shall be given for the excess sheer forward. When
the deficiency of the after sneer is between 25 per cent and
50 per cent intermediate allowances may be granted for excess
sheer forward.
(12) When the actual height of a poop or forecastle at the end
ordinate exceeds the standard the following formula shall be used:
y L'
s = --- ---
3 L
where s = sheer credit, to be deducted from the deficiency or
added to the excess of sheer,
y = difference between actual and standard height of
superstructure at the end ordinate in millimetres (inches),
L' = mean enclosed length of poop or forecastle up to a
maximum length of 0.5 L,
L = length of ship as defined in Regulation 3 (1) of this
Annex.
The above formula provides a curve in the form of a parabola
tangent to the actual sheer curve at the freeboard deck and
intersecting the end ordinate at a point below the superstructure
deck a distance equal to the standard height of a superstructure.
The superstructure shall not be less than standard height above
this curve at any point. This curve shall be used in determining
the sheer profile for forward and after halves of the ship.
Correction for Variations from Standard Sheer Profile
(13) The correction for sheer shall be the deficiency or
excess of sheer (see paragraphs (9) to (12) inclusive of this
Regulation), multiplied by
S
0.75 - ----
2L
where S is the total length of enclosed superstructures.
Addition for Deficiency in Sheer.
(14) Where the sheer is less than the standard, the correction
for deficiency in sheer (see paragraph (13) of this Regulation)
shall be added to the freeboard.
Deduction for Excess Sheer
(15) In ships where an enclosed superstructure covers 0.1 L
before and 0.1 L abaft amidships, the correction for excess of
sheer as calculated under the provisions of paragraph (13) of this
Regulation shall be deducted from the freeboard; in ships where no
enclosed superstructure covers amidships, no deduction shall be
made from the freeboard; where an enclosed superstructure covers
less than 0.1 L before and 0.1 L abaft amidships, the deduction
shall be obtained by linear interpolation. The maximum deduction
for excess sheer shall be at the rate of 125 millimetres per
100 metres of length (1 1/2 inches per 100 feet of length).

the spacing of the lashings shall be reduced or other suitable
provisions made to suit the length of timber.
(9) All fittings required for securing the lashings shall be
of strength corresponding to the strength of the lashings.
Stability
(10) Provision shall be made for a safe margin of stability at
all stages of the voyage, regard being given to additions of
