What is meaning of Camber ?

Camber (or Round of Beam): Curvature of decks in the transverse direction. Measured as the height of deck at centre above the height of deck at side.

Note:

According to ISO 7460 the camber is measured in mm, while all other ship dimensions are given in m. A common practice is to fix the camber amidships as 1/50 of the breadth in that section and to fair the deck towards its extremities.
