Internationally, the Plimsoll line on a ship is officially referred to as the International load line. Every type of ship has a different level of floating and the Plimsoll line on a ship generally varies from one vessel to another. Technically, no ship is able to absolutely float above, as it travels across the waters. A certain portion of the ship is always immersed in the seawater and the level of submerging is decided by the gross weight of the respective ship. Even the type of water in which the ship is floating influences the application of the load line. Sometimes even the oceanic regions and changing seasons affect the Plimsoll mark, as well. Researchers have found out that the temperature and salinity of the water also plays a key role in deciding the height until which the ship rests in the water” 11/28/2024 IMI – brief history 12 Load lines – the Plimsol mark S – Summer :- It is the basic freeboard WNA – Winter North Atlantic :- It is marked line at the same level as the Plimsoll 50mm below the Winter load line. It applies to Line. Other load lines are marked based voyages in North Atlantic ( above 36 degrees on this Summer freeboard line of latitude) during winter months. Ship’s length not exceeding 100 m T – Tropical :- It is 1/48th of summer draft marked above the Summer load F – Fresh Water :- It is the summer fresh water line load line. The distance between S and F is the Fresh Water Allowance (FWA)mm = Displ / (4 x W – Winter :- It is 1/48th of summer TPC) draft marked below the Summer load line TF – Tropical Fresh Water :- It is the fresh water load line in Tropical.
