8. Registered tonnage of vessels other than steam and motor vessels

The gross tonnage of a vessel other than steam and motor vessels shall be ascertained by multiplying its length, breadth in feet and inches and dividing the product by 50. The length shall be measured at half the midship depth in a straight line from the inside of the outer planking at the side of the steam to the inner side of the outer planking at the outer side of the stern post and shall be hereinafter called the length of the tonnage. The breadth for tonnage shall be one-sixth of the sum of five widths taken at equal distances along and at right angles to the above length for tonnage and measured from the rib on one side to the planking on the other side. If the vessel has a fixed internal planking the said five widths shall be measured from the innerside of such planking on one side to the inner side thereof on the other. The depth of all vessels shall be measured in a vertical line at the centre of the length for tonnage to the top side of the fixed internal planking if there is one or to the inner side of the outer bottom planking tonnage upon which fees are leviable shall be the gross tonnage less 15 per cent. Any fraction of a ton above half shall be taken as one ton and other fractions shall be rejected.
