“(3.) For the purposes of the last preceding sub-regulation, a reference to the deepest load line marked on the ship shall be read as a reference to whichever of the load lines (other than the fresh water load line in summer for the ship or the tropical fresh water load line for the ship) marked on the ship is the closer or the closest to the deck line for the ship or, if only one load line is marked on the ship, that load line.”.
“(
a ) be placed below the deck line marked on the ship abaft the vertical mark referred to in sub-regulation (1.) of regulation 72 of the Navigation (Load Lines) Regulations at a distance equal to the freeboard that corresponds to the subdivision draught or, if the subdivision draught has been decreased in accordance with sub-regulation (2.) of regulation 64 of these Regulations, at a distance equal to the freeboard that corresponds to the subdivision draught as so decreased; and “.
