No I did not miss quote the definition. As I previously mentioned it wasb the definition of the classification requiring the LLC that was tripping me up. The definition I provided therefore is not itself from the LLC. But it is from MCA the Work boat code 3. WB3 requires any vessel carrying...

Thank you for your response. However, the question already assumed all the corrections to the tabular freeboard were included (though admittebly not clear from the original post). As I noted in an earlier reponse, my confusion was with the definition of the classifcation (requiring the vessel's...

My question did not take any trim into consideration. My question concerns boats where the deck is not designed parallel to the keel, to improve self-draining. Thank you for your clarification. I got confused because the classification, requiring LLC assigned freeboard, defined freeboard...

Hallo everyone, Maybe a dumb question, but I hope I can find some clarification regarding the following. Because the assigned freeboard calculated through load lines is amidships. Does a vessel still comply with load lines if the freeboard measured from the aft part of the deck is a lower...

Again not true, I understand how you could read this. But if you request a surveyor to verify your stability booklet and the freeboard mark is placed at a freeboard determined with the following formula, they reject it outright (you may tell me incorrect, but it has already happened once to a...

Ad Hoc I really appreciate that you are thinking along, but this is incorrect. That formula is merily to determine the Tabular freeboard baseline of the vessel before the corrections for Type B ships “other than timber freeboards” that are required for lack of superstructure, lack of sheer...

MSN 1752 (M) - SCHEDULE 4 - PART 1. - paragraphs 5.10 and 11. to 16. Landing crafts of the size I am talking about have small wheelhouses or are console boats with a tent frame for bad weather. This reduction is not viable for ships below 24m and even if you could interpolate down landing...

Edition 3 has been in effect since last summer, eventhough MSN 1752 (M) was already a requirement for vessels with a cargo capacity over 1000kg in edition 2 (but as you said; back then you could use MGN 280 as an alternative). My problem is that the design of landing crafts has become near...

This is not correct, see The Workboat Code Edition 3 Section 13.2.1. "13.2 Minimum Freeboard for Vessels which carry greater than 1000 kg of Cargo Section 13.2 applies to vessels which carry cargo, passengers, industrial personnel, or any combination thereof, for which the cargo element exceeds...

Good afternoon everyone. Currently I continuously have an issue designing small ((L)<24m, mostly around the 10m range) landing crafts for the UK, under Workboat code edition 3 - category 3. These landing craft require stability booklets and therefore require to comply with the MGN load lines...

Thank you Ad hoc for your swift reply and welcoming comment. Excellent, this was what I meant previously with the Steel materials section. I was only wondering, because 2.2.1.4 does not explicitly reference these tables. Alright, as expected!

Good evening everyone, I am working on a project and the client requested the casco certified according to the DNV-ST-0342 Craft standard. Normally we work with Lloyds SSC or the ISO-12215. I was hoping someone on this forum has experience building under this standard, because we are not...
