Freeboard length LLL
freeboard_length_LLL_m
Freeboard length L_LL (m)
Scores if within ±0.5% of the reference value.
Calculates the Freeboard length L_LL used throughout the IACS Harmonised Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (CSR-H). L_LL is taken as 96% of the total length on a waterline at 85% of the least moulded depth measured from the top of the keel, or as the length from the fore side of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock on that waterline, whichever is greater. Ships without a rudder stock (e.g. fitted with azimuth thrusters) take L_LL equal to 96% of the waterline length directly. This is a principal-particulars quantity used for freeboard and stability assessment under CSR-H.
with-tool: The model is given an executable Python calculator script.
One template produces many comparable benchmark tasks while keeping the scoring contract fixed.
01
The reusable contract shown on this page.
02
An archetype and site context are sampled.
03
Inputs may be hidden at harder tiers.
04
The model responds with the declared outputs.
Inputs the model receives, and the outputs it is scored on.
3 inputs
Included directly in every task prompt.
Total length on 85pct depth waterline
total_length_on_85pct_depth_waterline_m
Total length on a waterline at 85% of the least moulded depth, measured from the top of the keel
Visible in easier tasks and withheld in one or more harder tiers.
Has rudder stock
has_rudder_stock
Whether the ship has a rudder stock (false for ships fitted with azimuth thrusters and similar)
Hidden at hard difficulty.
Used only when the sampled task needs this part of the contract.
Stem to rudder stock axis distance
stem_to_rudder_stock_axis_distance_m
Length from the fore side of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock, on the 85%-depth waterline
Optional input. Hidden at hard difficulty.
1 output
freeboard_length_LLL_m
Freeboard length L_LL (m)
Scores if within ±0.5% of the reference value.
Each template is sampled at three tiers. Harder tiers may hide inputs, forcing the model to infer them from the scenario description.
All inputs given
Rudder stock ship where the measured stem-to-rudder-stock-axis distance governs (exceeds 96% of the waterline length)
Has rudder stock restricted to: true
Governing term restricted to: stem_to_rudder_stock_distance
All inputs given
Rudder stock ship where 96% of the waterline length governs (the measured distance is smaller, so the greater-of flips)
Has rudder stock restricted to: true
Governing term restricted to: waterline_fraction
Some inputs hidden
has_rudder_stock hidden; agent must infer the azimuth-thruster case from the vessel description
Hidden inputs
Prompt replacement text
The vessel is a {{ archetype.description }} ({{ archetype.site_context }})
Has rudder stock restricted to: false
Governing term restricted to: no_rudder_stock

For ships without a rudder stock, the length L_LL is to be taken as 96% of the waterline at 85% of the least moulded depth."51- If the ship has a rudder stock, L_LL is the GREATER of (a) 96% of the total length on the 85%-depth waterline and (b) the measured length from the fore side of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock on that waterline.52- If the ship has no rudder stock (e.g. azimuth thrusters), L_LL = 96% of the total length on the 85%-depth waterline.53- Ships with unusual (concave) stem contours are out of scope for this calculation — assume a conventional stem contour unless stated otherwise.54 55## Output Format56 57Show your step-by-step working in Markdown, including formulas and intermediate calculations.
