Article 6 Verdrag nopens een eenvormig stelsel voor de meting van zeeschepen
In ascertaining the tonnage of a ship, the cubic capacity of all spaces shall be calculated in English cubic feet, or in cubic metres. If English cubic feet are employed, these shall be converted into register tons, each of 100 cubic feet, corresponding to 1/0.353 cubic metres. If the English foot is used, it will be divided decimally. If not otherwise stated in the present Regulations:
I. Measurements shall be taken with the exactitude of the nearest twentieth part of an English foot, or of the nearest centimetre.
II. Calculations shall be carried out with the following degree of accuracy:
(a ) | When determining: | If using feet: | If using metres:
(1) | The common interval between the transverse sections (see Article 21); | With three decimals without taking account of the fourth | With three decimals, the third being increased by one if the fourth is 5 or more
(2) | The common interval between the breadths in each transverse section (see Article 33); | -”- | -”-
(3) | The common interval between the breadths in double-bottom tanks (see Article 45), in 'tween decks (see Article 48) and in superstructures (see Article 53); | -”- | -”-
(4) | One-third of the common interval between the transverse sections (see Article 41); | With two decimals, the second being increased by one if the third is 5 or more | -”-
(5) | One-third of the common interval between the breadths in each transverse section (see Article 39); | -”- | -”-
(6) | One-third of the common interval between breadths in 'tween-decks (see Article 48) and in superstructures (see Article 54); | -”- | -”-
(7) | The area of transverse sections (see Article 39); | -”- | With two decimals, the second being increased by one if the third is 5 or more
(8) | One-third of the common interval between breadths in double-bottom tanks (see Article 45); | -”- | -”-
(9) | The mean height of a double-bottom tank (see Article 45); | -”- | -”-
(10) | The mean height of a 'tween-deck space (see Article 49); | -”- | -”-
(11) | The mean breadth of the propelling-machinery space; | -”- | -”-
(12) | The mean height of the propelling-machinery space; | -”- | -”-
(13) | One-third of the round of beam; | -”- | -”-
(b) When determining:
The under-deck tonnage and the cubic capacity of all other spaces (e.g., double-bottom tanks, 'tween-decks, superstructures, hatchways, exempted or deducted spaces), both in register tons and in cubic metres, with two decimals, the second being increased by one if the third is 5 or more.
Before proceeding with measurement, all instruments used must be carefully checked.
Measurements taken in the longitudinal direction are termed lengths, and measurements taken in the transverse direction are termed breadths, irrespective of the shape of the measured space.
