.2Length of the ship is the length measured between perpendiculars taken at the extremities of the deepest subdivision load line.
.3Breadth of the ship is the extreme width from outside of frame to outside of frame at or below the deepest subdivision load line.
.4Draught is the vertical distance from the moulded base line amidships to the subdivision load line in question.
.5Deadweight is the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship in water of a specific gravity of 1,025 at the load waterline corresponding to the assigned summer freeboard and the lightweight of the ship.

.10Machinery space is to be taken as extending from the moulded base line to the margin line and between the extreme main transverse watertight bulkheads, bounding the spaces containing the main and auxiliary propulsion machinery, and boilers serving the needs of propulsion.
.11Passenger spaces are those spaces which are provided for the accommodation and use of passengers, excluding baggage, store, provision and mail rooms.
.12Watertight in relation to structure means capable of preventing the passage of water through the structure in any direction under the head of water likely to occur in the intact or damage condition.
.13Weathertight means that water will not penetrate into the ship in any sea conditions.
