=c. Displacement.=
(1) The dead-weight scale (fig. 10), shows the ship’s capacity
for carrying dead weight, the difference between light and loaded
displacement.
(2) Figure 10 also shows the ship’s load-line marks[6] and their
relation to the decks. These marks establish the safe load line for the
ship in different waters, allowing a measure of reserve buoyancy. Load
lines are established and assigned by the American Bureau of Shipping.
The center of the circle is located exactly amidships on the vessel’s
load waterline, and the horizontal line through the circle corresponds
to the summer load line. The letters _AB_, used where the horizontal
line cuts the circle, indicate the American Bureau of Shipping. The
letter _F_ to the left of the vertical line is the fresh-water marking,
and _S_ to the right of the vertical line is the salt-water marking.
[6] Sometimes called Plimsoll mark; Plimsoll mark indicates maximum
allowable draft.
=d. Power.= The ship is propelled by a high-power, low-speed Diesel
engine. Other engines may be substituted as required.
