deck at side, except that:

   (a)  if the ship is constructed of wood or composite material, the distance
        is measured from the lower edge of the keel rabbet; and

   (b)  if the form of the lower part of the midship section of the ship is of
        a hollow character or if thick garboards are fitted, the distance is
        measured from the point at which the line of the flat of the bottom
        continued inwards intersects the side of the keel; and

   (c)  if the ship has rounded gunwales, the distance is measured to the
        point of intersection of the moulded lines of the deck and side shell
        plating, the lines extending as though the gunwales were of angular
        design; and

   (d)  if the upper deck of the ship is stepped and the raised part of the
        deck extends over the point at which the moulded depth is to be
        determined, the distance is measured to a line of reference extending
        from the lower part of the deck along a line parallel with the raised
        part;".
