Paragraph 3

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

A tabular statement of the capacity and position of the centre of gravity, longitudinally and vertically of every compartment available for the carriage of cargo, fuel, stores, feed water, domestic water, water ballast, and crew and effects shall be included in such information. The free surface function defined in paragraph 9 below shall also be included for each tank designed to carry liquid. Details of the volumetric-centre of the total internal volume of the fish-hold shall be included in such information. The calculation may take into account the effect of assuming a void space between the top of the catch and the underside of the deckhead provided that under normal operating conditions provision has been made for the effective control of the loading in order to ensure that the actual void space will always be equal to or greater than that assumed in such a calculation.
