Subdivision draughts

marine

Initial draughts of the ship before damage which must be considered when calculating the attained subdivision index A.

Deepest subdivision draught (ds) is the waterline which corresponds to the summer load line draught of the ship.

Light service draught (dl) is the service draught corresponding to the ballast arrival condition with 10% consumables for cargo ships. For passenger ship it corresponds, in general, to the arrival condition with 10% consumables, a full complement of passengers and crew and their effects, and ballast necessary for stability and trim.

Partial subdivision draught (dp) is the light service draught plus 60% of the difference between the light service draught and the deepest subdivision draught.
