2 (1) The basic freeboard in millimetres shall be (a) 850 × p 1 × D, in the case of a Type A vessel; and (b) 1000 × p 1 × D, in the case of a Type B vessel. (2) In subsection (1), p 1 is equal to p + (L/D – L/D s ) × A for vessels that are 122 m or less in length and equal to p for vessels that are more than 122 m in length where p is the value set out in column 2 of an item of Table 1 to this section for a length set out in column 1 or determined for a length that is intermediate to two lengths set out in column 1 of consecutive items to Table 1 by linear interpolation between those lengths; L/D is the ratio of length to depth for freeboard except that it shall not be more than (a) 15 if L is 122 m or less; (b) 21 if L is 214 m or more; or (c) the ratio obtained for intermediate lengths by linear interpolation between the ratios set out in paragraphs (a) and (b); L/D s is the value set out in column 2 of an item of Table 2 to this section for a length set out in column 1 or determined for a length that is intermediate to two lengths set out in column 1 of consecutive items to Table 2 by linear interpolation between those lengths; and A is the value set out in column 2 of an item of Table 3 to this section for a length set out in column 1 or determined for a length that is intermediate to two lengths set out in column 1 of consecutive items to Table 3 by linear interpolation between those lengths.
