    Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline_length

    A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall (length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL. As a ship becomes more ...
