Load Line Certificate

A Load Line Certificate is an official document issued for ships to indicate their safe loading limits. It shows the maximum depth a vessel can sit in the water, known as the "draft," based on its design and stability. This certificate helps ensure that ships do not exceed safe weights when carrying cargo or passengers, which is important for safety at sea. It’s regulated internationally to protect both the vessel and the environment, helping to prevent accidents and overloading that could lead to capsizing or sinking.
