K1 × Vb

where –

K1 = 0.2 + 0.02 log10V, as specified in Schedule 2;

V = the total volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship in cubic metres; and

Vb = the total volume of the segregated ballast tanks in cubic metres measured in accordance with regulation 4.

8        Issue of certificates

(2)     The new Certificate shall incorporate the increased net tonnage.

(3)     If the draught corresponding to the Summer load line differs from that corresponding to the deepest subdivision load line the net tonnage shall, subject to paragraph (4), be that determined in accordance with Regulation 6 by applying the draught corresponding to the appropriate assigned load line for the trade in which the ship is engaged.

(4)     Subject to paragraph (5), if an alteration in the value of V, Vc, d, N1 or N2 (as defined in regulations 5 and 6) or a change in the position of the load lines result in a decrease in the net tonnage, the certifying Authority shall not issue a new International Tonnage Certificate (1969) incorporating the decreased net tonnage until 12 months have elapsed from the date on which the current certificate was issued.

(5)     The certifying Authority may issue a new International Tonnage Certificate (1969) forthwith if –
