Explanation:
I'm not sure about this but, depending on context, it seems to fit the definition in the documentation. Search for "moulded depth" in the linked page.

OK, here's the relevant part.

(2) Moulded Depth

(a) The moulded depth is the vertical distance measured from the top of the keel to the underside of the upper deck at side. In wood and composite ships the distance is measured from the lower edge of the keel rabbet. Where the form at the lower part of the midship section is of a hollow character, or where thick garboards are fitted, the distance is measured from the point where the line of the flat of the bottom continued inwards cuts the side of the keel.
