Load Lines are key safety components of any vessel. They ensure that there is sufficient reserve buoyancy and freeboard for the ship should it encounter heavy seas or enter less-buoyant fresh water.

This course introduces the concepts of load lines as well as Type A and B vessels. It then discusses the Harmonised System of Survey and Certification (HSSC) and how the load lines should be surveyed annually.
