Artikel 53
Verdrag nopens een eenvormig stelsel voor de meting van zeeschepen
The measurement of superstructures shall be carried out tier by tier in the following manner:
1. The inside lengths and breadths shall be taken to the inner edge of the normally spaced stiffeners of the bulkheads, or to the inner edge of frames, or to the linings if fitted, and the heights from the upper side of the lower deck (or from the upper side of the permanent deck covering, such as deck-planking, concrete, rubber, etc., thereon) to the under side of the deck. Should there exist any panelling or similar covering at the under side of this deck, the heights shall be taken through such panelling or covering. Should there be any doubt as to whether the spacing between the bulkhead stiffeners is to be considered as normal, the depth of such stiffeners and the spacing shall be indicated on the formulae of measurement, together with a detailed description as to how the measurements have been taken. If different thicknesses of deck covering exist in parts of a superstructure, the excess in thickness is neglected if the surface of the deck covered by a layer of greater thickness is small in comparison with the whole surface. In other cases, an average thickness of deck covering is taken.
2. The provisions of Article 48 relating to 'tween-deck spaces shall apply to the measurement of a poop or break extending right aft to the stern, subject to the special conditions mentioned hereafter: Length 1 in the case of application of Method 1, or the whole length in case of application of Methods 2 or 3, shall be divided into a number of equal parts in conformity with the following table: If length 1, or the whole length, has been divided into two equal parts only, the heights shall be measured also at the extreme points of these lengths.1) See footnote to Article 48, Method 1 (c).
3. The length of other superstructures (e.g., forecastle, bridge, etc.) shall also be divided into a number of equal parts in conformity with the above table. The length of a forecastle is to be measured from the same point at the stem as indicated in Article 48, Method 1, for the measurement of 'tween-deck spaces. The breadths shall be measured at each point of division and at the extreme points of the length in conformity with the relevant provisions of Article 48 and of paragraph 1 of the present article.2) In the case of a superstructure having the same breadth at all points of its length, it is sufficient to measure only one breadth. If the length has been divided into two equal parts only, the heights shall be measured also at the extreme points of the length, and, for the remainder, the relevant provisions of Article 48 and of paragraph 1 of the present article shall apply.
4. In the case of a superstructure not extending from side to side (e.g., deck-houses, etc.), the bulkheads of which form exactly or approximately a rectangle, it will be sufficient to measure one breadth at the middle of the length. In such a case the way in which the height shall be measured will depend upon the situation of the superstructure and on the difference in round of beam of the decks overhead and underneath (see Figure 70).
5. If a superstructure is irregular in shape, it shall be measured in parts.
1. The inside lengths and breadths shall be taken to the inner edge of the normally spaced stiffeners of the bulkheads, or to the inner edge of frames, or to the linings if fitted, and the heights from the upper side of the lower deck (or from the upper side of the permanent deck covering, such as deck-planking, concrete, rubber, etc., thereon) to the under side of the deck. Should there exist any panelling or similar covering at the under side of this deck, the heights shall be taken through such panelling or covering. Should there be any doubt as to whether the spacing between the bulkhead stiffeners is to be considered as normal, the depth of such stiffeners and the spacing shall be indicated on the formulae of measurement, together with a detailed description as to how the measurements have been taken. If different thicknesses of deck covering exist in parts of a superstructure, the excess in thickness is neglected if the surface of the deck covered by a layer of greater thickness is small in comparison with the whole surface. In other cases, an average thickness of deck covering is taken.

The length of a forecastle is to be measured from the same point at the stem as indicated in Article 48, Method 1, for the measurement of 'tween-deck spaces. The breadths shall be measured at each point of division and at the extreme points of the length in conformity with the relevant provisions of Article 48 and of paragraph 1 of the present article.2) In the case of a superstructure having the same breadth at all points of its length, it is sufficient to measure only one breadth.
