Solution:

𝐿_𝑓 = 96% of Lwl 120.96 m 0.12096 mm

Freeboard depth, 𝑫_𝒇

𝐷_𝑓 10.025 m 0.010025 mm

Tabular Freeboard value, 𝑻_𝒇

The tabular freeboard value can be calculated by linear Interpolation from freeboard table for type B ships.

𝑻_𝒇 (𝑇𝑓−𝑌1)/(𝑌1−𝑌2)
120.96
122 1.729 𝑻_𝒇 1.70872

Correction for length

The ship is greater than 100m so, there is no need for correction.
Therefore,
𝒇_𝟏𝑻_𝒇
= 1.70872 m
Correction for block coeffient
Since, the ship's𝑪_𝒃 is 0.722 > 0.68, so correction is need in freeboard.
𝒇_𝟐 = 1.76149 m

Correction for depth

When𝐷_𝑓 exccds L/15, then the freeboard will be increased by ( 𝐷_(𝑓
- L/15)R in mm, where R=L/0.48 for less than 120m ship
and R=250 for above 120m ships. )
If𝐷_𝑓 < L/15, then no correction will be made.
𝒇_𝟑 = 2.251739 m

The effective length is the length modified by the ratio of b/B and h/H
Where, b is breadth of the superstructure at middle length of it, h is the heigth of the superstructure.
B is the breadth of the ship at middle length of superstr., H is the standard heigth of superstructure.

rows I and II.
2 Where the effective length of forecastle bridge is more than 0.4L then the % will be obtained by linear int
