Length overall ( LOA , o/a , o.a. or oa ) is the maximum length of a vessel's hull measured parallel to the waterline. This length is important while docking the ship. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a ship, and is also used for calculating the cost of a marina berth (for example, £2.50 per metre LOA).

Length overall LOA
180-505: The full length of a sailing ship. Often used to distinguish between the length of a vessel including projections (e.g. bow sprits, etc.) from the length of the hull itself, the Length on Deck or LOD is often reported. This is especially useful for smaller sailing vessels, as their LOA can be significantly different from their LOD. In ISO 8666 for small boats, there is a definition of LOH , or length of hull . This may be shorter than
