6. Propelling milchint ry space

(I) Propelling machinery space which ew:nds to the ship's side and is

situated below the upper deck sllall be measured as fo llows:-

The mean length shall be measured in each space at lIalf the mean depth.

which shall be measured in the middle plane of the ship from the unde rside of the

deck forming the crown of the space to t he top of the double bottom or open floors.

allowance being made for ceiling if filled : for amidship spac:e$ ) equally spaced

breadths shall be used and for 51Ji1ceS abaft amidships ) equally spaced breadths

shall be used for lengths up to 9.1 4 me tres. S equally slJiIced breadlhs for lengths

over 9.1 4 metres to IS.24 metres and 7 eq ually spaced breadtlls for lengths ovtr

IS.24 met res, th e breadths being measured fro m the inner face of the frames.

timbers o r sparring as the case may be at half the depth of th e space at that point.

The mean length. mean breadth and mean depth so ascertained shall be multiplied

together and the product divided by 2.83 shall be the tonnage of the space.

(2) Propelling machinery space which doe$llOt extend to the ship's side and

is sit uated below the upper deck shall be measured by ascenaining ilS mean length.

mean bread t h and mean depth. and the product of multiplying these dimensio ns

together shall, when divided by 2.83, be the tonn age or lhe space.

7. Shaft bossings and appen<inges

The tonnage of shaft bossings and othe r appendages referred to in paragraph

8(b) o f schwule 4 shall be ascertained by measuring the internal cubic capacity of the

space as accurately as practicable and dividing the result by 2.83.
