Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces new general rules concerning freeboard that are designed to prevent dangerous overloading of merchant ships without unduly hindering trade. The rules are applicable to all cargo-carrying vessels, regardless of construction, though vessels built to lesser strength standards may require increased freeboard. The book also includes corrections for changes in length and for voyages in summer and winter in the North Atlantic.
