Scantling

Scantling
In shipbuilding , the scantling refers to the collective dimensions of the framing [1] (apart from the keel ) to which planks or plates are attached to form the hull. [2] The word is most often used in the plural to describe how much structural strength in the form of girders, I-beams, etc., is in a given section. The scantling length refers to the structural length of a ship.

In shipping, a "full scantling vessel" is understood to be a geared ship , that can reach all parts of its own cargo spaces with its own gear.
