Regulation 31 Special position of deck-line: correction of freeboards

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

In any ship where the deck line is marked in accordance with regulation 16(3), the freeboards assigned to the ship shall be corrected to allow for the vertical distance by which the position of the deck-line is altered by virtue of that paragraph. The reference point to which the deck-line has been so marked, and the identity of the deck which has been taken as the freeboard deck, shall be specified in the load line certificate issued to the ship.
