The hull form of a ship may be defined by a

number of dimensions and
terms which are often referred to during and after building the vessel. An

SHIP DIMENSIONS ANF FORMS
explanation of the principal terms is given below:

After Perpendicular (AP)

: A perpendicular drawn to the waterline at the point
where the aft side of the rudder post meets the summer load line. Where no
rudder post is fitted it is taken as the centre line of the rudder stock.
Après Perpendiculaire (AP)
: Une perpendiculaire tracée à la ligne de flottaison au point
où le côté arrière du montant du gouvernail rencontre la ligne de charge d'été. Lorsque non
Le montant du gouvernail est monté ; il est pris comme axe central de la mèche du gouvernail.
Forward Perpendicular (FP)

: A perpendicular drawn to the waterline at the

point where the foreside of the stem meets the summer load line.
Perpendiculaire à l'axe vertical (FP)
: Une perpendiculaire tracée à la ligne de flottaison au
point où l'avant de la tige rencontre la ligne de charge d'été.
Length Between Perpendiculars (LBP)

: The length between the forward and aft

perpendiculars measured along the summer load line.
Longueur entre perpendiculaires (LBP)

4
 SHIP DIMENSIONS ANF FORMS

: La longueur entre l'avant et l'arrière

perpendiculaires mesurées le long de la ligne de charge
d'été.
Amidships
: A point midway between the after and forward perpendiculars.
Un point à mi-chemin entre les perpendiculaires arrière et avant.
Length Overall LOA
: Length of vessel taken over all extremities.
Longueur du navire prise sur toutes les
extrémités.

Lloyd’s Length
: Used for obtaining scantlings if the vessel is classed with Lloyd’s Register.
It is the same as length between perpendiculars except that it must not be less than 96 per cent and need not be more than 97 per cent of the
extreme length on the summer load line. If the ship has an unusual stem or stern arrangement the length is given special consideration.
Utilisé pour obtenir des échantillonnages si le navire est classé au Lloyd's Register.
Elle est identique à la longueur entre perpendiculaires, sauf qu'elle ne doit pas être inférieure à 96 % et ne doit pas être supérieure à 97 % de la
longueur extrême de la ligne de charge d'été. Si le navire a une disposition inhabituelle de l'étrave ou de la poupe, la longueur est prise en compte
de manière particulière.

Register Length

5
 SHIP DIMENSIONS ANF FORMS

is the length of ship measured from the fore-side of

the head of the stem to the aft side of the head of the stern post or, in the
case of a ship not having a stern post, to the fore-side of the rudder stock.
If
the ship does not have a stern post or a rudder stock, the after terminal is
taken to be the aftermost part of the transom or stern of the ship. This
length is the official length in the register of ships maintained by the flag
state and appears on official documents relating to ownership and other
matters concerning the business of the ship.

est la longueur du navire mesurée à partir de l'avant de

la tête de l'étrave à l'arrière de la tête du montant arrière ou, dans le
cas d'un navire n'ayant pas de poste arrière, à l'avant de la mèche du gouvernail.
Si
le navire n'a pas de poupe ni de mèche de gouvernail, le terminal arrière est
pris comme étant la partie la plus arrière du tableau ou de la poupe du navire. Ce
la longueur est la longueur officielle dans le registre des navires battant pavillon
et figure sur les documents officiels relatifs à la propriété et aux autres
les questions concernant l'activité du navire.

Another important length

6
 SHIP DIMENSIONS ANF FORMS
measurement is what might be referred to as the IMO LENGTH

Une autre longueur importante est ce que l’on pourrait dire que c est la longueur OMI

. This length is
found in various international conventions such as the Load Line, Tonnage
and SOLAS conventions and determines the application of requirements of
those conventions to a ship. It is defined as 96 per cent of the total length on
a waterline at 85 per cent of the least moulded depth measured from the
top of keel, or the length from the fore-side of stem to the axis of rudder
stock on that waterline, if that is greater. In ships designed with a rake of keel
the waterline on which this length is measured is taken parallel to the design
waterline.
Cette longueur est de que l'on trouve dans diverses conventions internationales telles que la ligne de
charge, le tonnage
et les conventions SOLAS et détermine l'application des exigences de
ces conventions à un navire. Il est défini comme étant 96 % de la longueur totale sur
une ligne de flottaison à 85 % de la profondeur la moins moulée mesurée à partir de la
le sommet de la quille, ou la longueur de l'avant de l'étrave à l'axe du gouvernail
sur cette ligne de flottaison, si celle-ci est plus importante. Dans les navires conçus avec un râteau de
quille la ligne de flottaison sur laquelle cette longueur est mesurée est prise parallèlement à la
ligne de flottaison

Moulded dimensions are often referred to; these are taken to the inside
of plating on a steel ship.
Les dimensions moulées sont souvent mentionnées ; elles sont prises à l'intérieur
de placage sur un navire en acier.
Base Line
: A horizontal line drawn at the top of the keel plate. All vertical
moulded dimensions are measured relative to this line.
Ligne de base
: Une ligne horizontale tracée au sommet de la plaque de quille. Tout vertical
Les dimensions des moulages sont mesurées par rapport à cette ligne.
Moulded Beam
: Measured at the midship section is the maximum moulded
breadth of the ship.

Moulded Draft
: Measured from the base line to the summer load line at the
midship section.

Moulded Depth

: Measured from the base line to the heel of the upper deck
beam at the ship’s side amidships.

Extreme Beam
: The maximum beam taken over all extremities.

Extreme Draft
: Taken from the lowest point of keel to the summer load line.

Half Breadth
: Since a ship’s hull is symmetrical about the
longitudinal
centre line, often only the half beam or half breadth at any section is given.

...............................................................................................................................................................
..................
Freeboard
: The vertical distance measured at the ship’s side between the
summer load line (or service draft) and the freeboard deck. The freeboard
deck is normally the uppermost complete deck exposed to weather and
sea
which has permanent means of closing all openings, and below which all
openings in the ship’s side have watertight closings.

height of deck at side at any point above the height of deck at side
amid-
ships.

Rise of Floor (or Deadrise)
: The rise of the bottom shell plating line above
the base line. This rise is measured at the line of moulded beam.

Tumblehome
: The inward curvature of the side shell above the summer
load line.

...............................................................................................................................................................

Flare
: The outward curvature of the side shell above the waterline. It
promotes
dryness and is therefore associated with the fore end of ship.

Stem Rake
: Inclination of the stem line from the vertical.
...............................................................................................................................................................
.........
Keel Rake
: Inclination of the keel line from the horizontal. Trawlers and
tugs often have keels raked aft to give greater depth aft where the propeller
diameter is proportionately larger in this type of vessel. Small craft occa-
sionally have forward rake of keel to bring propellers above the line of keel.
