Freeboard Calculation

My small tanker design with flat deck design mean no sheer deck line. To calculate Freeboard, sheer correction must be calculated. in my case, how do i calculate? Is it need for me to skip the sheer correction?

Hi, I am refreshing this topic because I have the same question.
Ship design with flat deck - how does the flat deck affect on minimum freeboard calculation?
Does the difference from the calculated sheer (1,3 L and 1,6 L from AP/FP) considered as deficiency and need to be added to table given minimum freeaboard or...?

Thank you.

 

If the deck is flat, there is no correction for the shape of the deck. Correction for camber would be another thing but I guess there is no camber, so null correction. (Just my oppinion)
