Artikel 57
Verdrag nopens een eenvormig stelsel voor de meting van zeeschepen
The following spaces situated on or above the upper deck shall not be included in the gross tonnage, provided that they are solely appropriated to, adapted and used entirely for the purposes mentioned:
1. Spaces which may be regarded as forming part of the propelling-machinery space, or as serving for the admission of light and air thereto. The provisions of Article 77 shall apply with regard to the treatment of such spaces.
2. Spaces fitted with any sort of machinery, not forming part of the propelling-machinery. Within the meaning of the present Article, the following shall be regarded as machinery: anchor gear, chain locker, capstan, steering gear, pumps, refrigerating apparatus and distilling plant, lifts, laundry machinery, boilers and machinery for the preparation of whale oil, fish oil or guano, dynamos, storage batteries, fire-extinguishing apparatus, etc. The same provision shall apply with regard to donkey-boilers which, in accordance with Articles 78 and 79, are not to be regarded as forming part of the propelling machinery.
3. The space for sheltering the man or men at the wheel (wheelhouse). If a space is used partly as a wheel-house and partly as a chart-room, the portion of it that is used as a wheel-house shall be exempted from inclusion in gross tonnage.
4. Spaces serving as galleys or bakeries fitted with ranges or ovens, without regard to the category of persons which these spaces serve.
5. Spaces such as skylights, domes and trunks, affording ventilation or light to spaces thereunder. None of the space below the roof or covering of a superstructure shall, however, be exempted from inclusion in the gross tonnage, except when there is an opening left in the floor of the superstructure under the skylight, dome or trunk to give ventilation or light to spaces below such floor (see Figures 73 and 74).
6. Spaces such as companions and booby-hatches serving as a protection for companion-ways, stairways or ladderways leading to spaces below. Should a companion-way not bulkheaded off be situated within a space used for other purposes, such as a smokingroom, only the portion of the space directly above the companionway shall be exempted. Companion-ways (stairways or ladderways) directly situated below companions or booby-hatches shall also be exempted from inclusion in gross tonnage (see Figures 75, 76, 77, 78 and 79).
7. Spaces occupied by water-closets, privies and urinals for officers, crew and passengers. No exemption shall, however, be granted for such spaces for the use of which a special charge is levied from passengers, nor shall such spaces be exempted from inclusion in gross tonnage when they form part of passengers' suites. In cases where water-closets and urinals are combined with a lavatory in the same place, the space occupied by the lavatory shall not be exempted, unless its size is small as compared with the space occupied by the water-closets and urinals (see Figure 80).
8. Water-ballast spaces, including peak tanks adapted for fresh water, complying with the conditions laid down in Article 71.
The exemption of the spaces referred to in items 2 to 6 shall depend on the condition that such spaces are no larger than required for their purpose.
All the spaces enumerated in the present Article shall be measured and entered on the formulae of measurement under a separate heading. The measurements of the spaces referred to in paragraphs 2 to 8 shall be taken externally, except where such space has part of the shell or of a bulkhead in common with a superstructure of which it forms part, in which event the length and breadth should be measured to the same surface, as in the case of the superstructure (see Figures 81 and 82). For the rest, the relevant provisions of Articles 53 and 54 shall apply as regards the measurements and the calculation of the cubic capacity.
If such spaces are situated within a superstructure, it will in general be more convenient to measure first the whole superstructure and then separately the said spaces which are not to be included in the gross tonnage (see Figure 77). The cubic capacity of the said spaces shall be subtracted from the cubic capacity of the whole superstructure, and the remainder shall be included in the gross tonnage.
In cases in which, in conformity with the provisions of the present Article, it has been found necessary to reduce the space to be exempted, on account of such space being unreasonably large or available for other purposes than those mentioned under 2 to 6, the exemption will be limited to the space strictly necessary for the purpose - for instance, in the case of machinery, it will be limited to the space strictly occupied by such machinery and necessary for its working. As a general rule, however, the full height of the space should be applied. Should the exemption have been limited, the limited measurements, as well as the measurements of the whole space, shall be stated on the formulae of measurement.
1. Spaces which may be regarded as forming part of the propelling-machinery space, or as serving for the admission of light and air thereto. The provisions of Article 77 shall apply with regard to the treatment of such spaces.
2. Spaces fitted with any sort of machinery, not forming part of the propelling-machinery. Within the meaning of the present Article, the following shall be regarded as machinery: anchor gear, chain locker, capstan, steering gear, pumps, refrigerating apparatus and distilling plant, lifts, laundry machinery, boilers and machinery for the preparation of whale oil, fish oil or guano, dynamos, storage batteries, fire-extinguishing apparatus, etc. The same provision shall apply with regard to donkey-boilers which, in accordance with Articles 78 and 79, are not to be regarded as forming part of the propelling machinery.
3. The space for sheltering the man or men at the wheel (wheelhouse). If a space is used partly as a wheel-house and partly as a chart-room, the portion of it that is used as a wheel-house shall be exempted from inclusion in gross tonnage.
