Sec. 45.59 Definitions for superstructure corrections.
For the purpose of Sec. Sec. 45.58 through 45.61--
(a) The standard height of a superstructure (Hs) other than a raised
quarter deck and the standard height of a trunk (Hs) is determined by
the formula:
[[Page 78]]
Hs=[6.0+(L/300)] ft
(b) The length of superstructure (S) is the length of those parts of
the superstructure which extends to the sides of the vessel and that lie
within the length (L).
(c) The effective length (E) of a trunk is its length in the ratio
of its mean breadth to B.
(d) The effective length (E) of an enclosed superstructure of
standard height or greater is its length ``S''.
(e) Where the height of an enclosed superstructure or trunk is less
than the standard height (Hs),the effective length (E) is its length
reduced in the ratio of its height to Hs.
(f) The effective length (E) of a raised quarter deck of \2/3\ Hs or
greater that has no openings in the front bulkhead is its length up to a
maximum of 0.6L.
(g) The effective length (E) of a raised quarter deck of less than
\2/3\ Hs or that does not have an intact front bulkhead is
its length reduced by the ratio of its height to Hs.

(h) Superstructures which are not enclosed have no effective length.
(i) When a lower deck is designated as the freeboard deck, that part
of the hull which extends above the freeboard deck is treated as a
superstructure so far as concerns the application of the conditions of
assignment and the calculation of freeboard.
(j) A bridge or poop is enclosed only when access is provided
whereby the crew may reach accommodations, machinery, or other working
spaces inside the superstructure by alternative means that are available
at all times when bulkhead openings are closed.
