46 U.S.C. § 14513 — Dual tonnage measurement
submitted 40 years ago by Pub. L. 99-509 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 186 words · no verdicts yet
Owners can apply to exclude certain spaces when measuring a vessel's gross tonnage under this section. The Secretary sets which spaces qualify, based on what an old 1965 law used to allow. The Secretary also sets a tonnage mark for the vessel, shown when it's submerged or not. Certificates otherwise show only one set of tonnages.
(a) On the owner's application and the Secretary's approval, certain spaces the Secretary prescribes can be excluded when measuring a vessel's gross tonnage under this section. Those spaces must be comparable to what could have been excluded under section 2 of the Act of September 29, 1965 (Public Law 89-219, 79 Stat. 891), as it existed immediately before this section was enacted.
(b) The Secretary must prescribe the design, location, and dimensions of the "tonnage mark" to be placed on a vessel* measured under this section.
(c)
(1) If a vessel is assigned two sets of gross and net tonnages under this section, every certificate stating its tonnages must state* the gross and net tonnages both for when the vessel's tonnage mark is submerged and for when it is not.
(2) Except as paragraph (1) provides, a certificate stating a vessel's tonnages may state only one set of gross and net tonnages as assigned under this section.
On application by the owner and approval by the Secretary, the tonnage of spaces prescribed by the Secretary may be excluded in measuring under this section the gross tonnage of a vessel* measured under section 14512 of this title. The spaces prescribed by the Secretary shall be comparable to the spaces that could have been excluded under section 2 of the Act of September 29, 1965 (Public Law 89–219, 79 Stat. 891), as section 2 existed immediately before the enactment of this section.
The Secretary shall prescribe the design, location, and dimensions of the tonnage mark to be placed on a vessel measured under this section.
If a vessel is assigned two sets of gross and net tonnages under this section, each certificate stating the vessel’s tonnages shall state* the gross and net tonnages when the vessel’s tonnage mark is submerged and when it is not submerged.
Except as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection, a certificate stating a vessel’s tonnages may state only one set of gross and net tonnages as assigned under this section.
