# 46 U.S.C. § 14513 - Dual tonnage measurement
## Text
(a) On application by the owner and approval by the Secretary, the tonnage of spaces prescribed by the Secretary may be excluded in measuring under this section the gross tonnage of a vessel measured under section 14512 of this title. The spaces prescribed by the Secretary shall be comparable to the spaces that could have been excluded under section 2 of the Act of September 29, 1965 (Public Law 89219, 79 Stat. 891), as section 2 existed immediately before the enactment of this section.
(b) The Secretary shall prescribe the design, location, and dimensions of the tonnage mark to be placed on a vessel measured under this section.
(c) (1) If a vessel is assigned two sets of gross and net tonnages under this section, each certificate stating the vessels tonnages shall state the gross and net tonnages when the vessels tonnage mark is submerged and when it is not submerged.
(2) Except as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection, a certificate stating a vessels tonnages may state only one set of gross and net tonnages as assigned under this section.
(Pub. L. 99509, title V, § 5101(3), Oct. 21, 1986, 100 Stat. 1924; Pub. L. 111281, title III, § 303(h), Oct. 15, 2010, 124 Stat. 2925.)
## Notes
Historical and Revision NotesRevised section 14513 Source: Section (U.S. Code) 46 App. U.S.C. 83 to 83g. Section 14513 gives discretionary authority to the Secretary to exclude certain spaces in measuring the regulatory tonnage of a vessel, and requires the Secretary to prescribe the design, location and dimensions of the tonnage mark to be placed on the vessel. Section 14513 further provides that if spaces are excluded by the Secretary, they shall be comparable to those the Secretary could have excluded in existing law (46 App. U.S.C. 83a). Section 14513(c) provides that if a vessels tonnage mark is below the uppermost part of the load line mark, each certificate that states the vessels tonnages must state the gross and net tonnages when the mark is submerged and when it is not submerged.
