Different ships

Same terminology
MASS DISPLACEMENT Δ
• Expressed in tonnes
• Describes total mass displacement of the vessel
• As a floating body, a ship in equilibrium will displace
its own weight of water
• Thus the volume of the hull below the waterline must
represent a weight of water equal to the weight of
the ship at its designed load.
LIGHT SHIP
• Measures the actual weight of the ship with no fuel,
passengers, cargo, water, and the like on board
• Lightship mass has big influence on ship price and
efficiency
• Includes all equipment
DEAD WEIGHT (DWT)
• Measures ships carrying capacity
• Includes the cargo, fuel, water, crew and effects
• It’s the difference between the loaded ship
displacement and the lightship weight
• The term cargo deadweight is used for the cargo
alone
• A table of deadweight against draught, for fresh and
salt water, is provided to a ship’s master in the form
of a deadweight scale
DWT of Various Bulk Carriers
Length over All (LOA)
• Extreme length measured parallel to design water
line
• From most aft to most forward structural point of the
vessel.
• Forward point may be on the stem or bulbous bow
WATERLINE LENGTH (LWL)
• Is the length on the waterline, at which the ship
happens to be floating, between the intersections of
the bow and after end with the waterline

LENGTH BETWEEN PERPENDICULARS (LBP)


• is the distance measured along the summer load
water plane from the after to the fore perpendicular
• Called Rule length of Lloyd’s Register

MIDSHIP
• The mid-point between the perpendiculars
AFTER PERPENDICULAR (AP)

• aken as the after side of the rudder post, where


fitted, or the line passing through the centreline of
the rudder pintles.

AFTER PERPENDICULAR (AP)

• Is the vertical line through the intersection of the


forward side of the stem with the summer load
waterline
SHEER
• The longitudinal curve of the vessel decks in a vertical
plane, the usual reference being to the ship side
• Due to the sheer, a vessel deck height above the
baseline is higher at the ends than amidships
PROFILE VIEW
MOULDED BEAM or BREADTH
• is the greatest distance between the inside of plating
on the two sides of the ship at the greatest width at
the section chosen

EXTREME BREADTH
• is measured to the outside of plating but will also
take account of any overhangs or flare
MOULDED DEPTH
• Usually quoted at amidship
• Measured from the underside of the deck plating at
the
• Unless otherwise specified, the depth is to the
uppermost continuous deck ship’s side to the top of
the inner keel plate
CAMBER
• The rise of the deck in going from the side to the
centre
• For ease of construction camber may be applied only
to weather decks, and straight line camber often
replaces the older parabolic curve

RISE OF THE FLOOR


• The rise of the bottom floor from the centre line in
the direction of the side wall of the vessel
SECTION VIEW
HALF BREADTH SECTION VIEW
BEAM FLARE
• If the upper deck has a greater beam the ship is said
to have flare
• All ships have flare at a distance from amidships

STERN AND STEM RAKE


• The slope of the bow or the stern of the vessel raising
from under the waterline
STERN RAKE STEM RAKE
