A Type B ship of over 100 m length assigned a freeboard less than that required normally, where the flag State Administration is satisfied that she meets the rules relating to protection of the crew, freeing arrangements, covers and single compartment damage stability. Hatch covers are to be steel, with weathertightness achieved by gaskets. The ship may be called a Type B-60 or B-100 ship.
