• International Load Line marks on a ship’s side (Plimsoll mark, seasonal load lines, and deck line) • Difference between a deck line and the various load/freeboard lines that show maximum allowable drafts • Where the freeboard deck is located relative to the load line symbol

💭 Think About

• Identify what the diamond-shaped (or circular, on real ships) mark with horizontal lines represents in general – is it showing the ship’s maximum draft or the location of a structural deck? • Think about which marking must be placed at the level of the freeboard deck and how that helps surveyors measure freeboard down to the summer load line. • Ask yourself: which of the options is a fixed reference point on the hull, and which ones change with loading or water density?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which mark, by definition, is drawn at the level of the freeboard deck, used as a reference for measuring freeboard. • Confirm that the load/freeboard lines (summer, winter, etc.) are drawn through or beside the main load line disc/diamond, not separately above it. • Make sure you distinguish a ship’s actual water line (where the sea meets the hull at any moment) from the regulatory marks permanently painted on the side.
