Virtual Freeboard Deck

For the purposes of this section only, where actual freeboard to the weather deck exceeds that required by ICLL 66 by at least one standard superstructure height, openings on that deck, abaft of the forward quarter, may be assumed to be in position 2. This is to be taken, unless otherwise stated, as defined in ICLL 66.

For vessels up to 75m load line length, a standard superstructure height is to be taken as 1.8m. For vessels over 125m load line length, this is to be taken as 2.3m. Superstructure heights for vessels of intermediate lengths should be obtained by interpolation.
