(ii) in subsections (8), (11) and (13) of this rule; and
(iii) in paragraph (12) of this rule, on the understanding that, on the vessel's length, any of the transverse partitions will be assumed to be damaged, so that two adjacent compartments in the longitudinal direction will be invaded simultaneously; However, this damage will not affect partitions constituting the limits of a machine compartment.
(b) If the vessel has more than 150 metres in length, the machine slice shall be treated as an invading compartment, but with a permeability of 85%.
Initial loading
(11) The initial pre-invasion loading state is determined as follows:
(a) The ship is loaded to its summer charging line and supposed to be without a plate.
(b) In calculating the centre of gravity height, the following principles are applied:
(i) The ship carries a uniform cargo.
(ii) All cargo compartments, except those mentioned in subparagraph (iii), but including compartments intended to be partially filled, are considered to be fully filled except in the case of liquid cargoes where each compartment is considered to be filled to 98%.
(iii) If the vessel is intended to be operated on its summer load line with empty compartments, these compartments are considered empty provided that the height of the centre of gravity so calculated is not less than that obtained under subparagraph (ii).
(iv) All tanks and all equipped spaces are considered to be filled to 50% of their total capacity to contain liquids and consumables during transport. It is assumed that, for each type of liquid, a pair of side tanks at least or a single axial tank has a maximum liquid carenium and the tank or tank combination is chosen with the most important effect of liquid carenes; in each tank, the centre of gravity of the contents is considered to be in the centre of the tank. Other tanks are assumed to be completely empty or fully filled and the distribution of consumable liquids during transport between these tanks is carried out in order to obtain the maximum possible height of the centre of gravity above the keel.
(v) The maximum effect of liquid carenes shall be taken into account at a cottage angle of not more than 5° in each compartment containing liquids, in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (ii), except for compartments containing consumable liquids during carriage, in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (iv).
The actual effect of liquid carenes may also be used, provided that the calculation methods used are accepted by the Administration.
(vi) Weights are calculated on the basis of the following values for specific weights:
salt water 1.025
fresh water 1,000
fuel oil 0.950
diesel oil 0,900
greasing oil 0,900
Hypothesis on damage
(12) With regard to the nature of the damages, the following assumptions are adopted:
(a) In any case, the agarage extends vertically from the reference line without limitation upwards.
(b) The transverse extent of the agar is equal to the smallest of the two values: B/5 or 11.5 metres; It is measured from the vessel's wall to the interior, perpendicular to the axial longitudinal plane, at the level of the summer load line.
(c) A variation of an extent less than that specified in subparagraphs (a) and (b) results in more severe conditions, this reduced avarius is assumed.
(d) Unless otherwise provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (10), the invasion shall be limited to a single compartment between adjacent transverse partitions, provided that the longitudinal limit of the compartment to the vessel's axis is not located within the limits of the transverse extent of the hypothetical agribusiness.
The transverse partitions constituting the limits of the lateral tanks, which do not extend over the entire width of the vessel, are assumed not to be damaged, provided that they have a length greater than the transverse extent of the agrim defined in paragraph (b).
If a transverse bulkhead has bayonets or niches of less than 3 metres in length and located within the limits of the agrarian defined in paragraph (b), this transverse bulkhead may be considered intact and adjacent compartments may be insulated in isolation. If, however, within the limits of hypothetical agar, a transverse bulkhead has a bayonet or niche of more than 3 metres in length, the two compartments adjacent to that partition are considered to be invaded. For the purposes of this rule, the bayonet formed by the rear shell partition and the ceiling of the rear shell tank is not considered a bayonet.
(e) If a main cross-sectional bulkhead is located within the transverse extent of hypothetical agar and has a niche of more than 3 metres in length at the right of a double bottom or side tank, the double bottom or side tanks contiguous to the part of the main cross-sectional partition that has a niche are considered to be invaded simultaneously. If this side tank has communication holes with one or more layers, such as grain feeding holes, they are also considered to be invaded simultaneously. Similarly, if on board a vessel intended for the carriage of liquid cargo a side tank has communication holes with adjacent compartments, these are considered empty and intruded simultaneously. This provision applies even if these orifices are fitted with closure devices, except in case of slide valves installed on partitions that separate tanks and operated from the deck. Manhole covers with bolts at close intervals are considered to be equivalent to a no-orifice bulkhead, except in the case of swamped holes in the upper side tanks allowing them to communicate with the holds.
(f) When the sinking of any two adjacent compartments in the longitudinal direction is considered, the distance between the main water-tight transverse partitions shall be at least 1/3 L 2/3 or 14.5 metres, if the latter value is lower, so that these partitions can be considered effective. When transverse partitions are separated by a lower distance, one or more of these partitions do not exist to obtain the minimum distance between partitions.
Balance state
(13) The post-invasion balance is considered satisfactory:
(a) If the final buoy after flooding, taking into account the sinking, the lodging and the plate, is located below the lower can of all the openings by which a gradual flooding of the funds could occur. These apertures include air vents, air sleeves and apertures that are closed by means of doors that are weather-tight (even if they comply with the provisions of Rule 12 or pitting panels (even if they comply with the provisions of Rule 16 or Rule 19 (4)). Closed apertures may be excluded by means of manhole covers and deck-flat caps (conformed to the provisions of Rule 18, loading piping panels of the type described in Rule 27 (2), water-tight doors controlled remotely and fixed-type portholes (conformed to the provisions of Rule 23). However, in the case of doors separating a main machine space from a steering unit compartment, water-tight doors may be of a type with hinges with fast closure which is kept closed at sea when the doors are not used, provided that the lower threshold of these doors is above the summer load line.
(b) If, where pipes, ducts or tunnels are located within the limits of the aeroplane defined in paragraph (12)(b), steps are taken to prevent a gradual invasion from extending through them to other compartments than those assumed to be invading in the calculations made for each agrarian case.
(c) If the gite angle resulting from an asymmetrical invasion does not exceed 15°. A cottage angle of 17° can be accepted if no part of the bridge is immersed.
(d) If the metacentric distance after flooding is positive.
(e) If any part of the bridge outside the assumed compartment is immersed in a particular avagion case, or if there is doubt as to the post-invasion stability margin, in which case the residual stability must be studied. It may be considered sufficient if the bow of the right-hand curve measures at least 20 degrees from the equilibrium position and if the maximum right-handle arm is equal to at least 0.1 metres inside this arc. The area underpinned by this arc of the bending lever curve shall not be less than 0.0175 m. rad. The Administration takes into account the risk of protected or unprotected openings that may be temporarily immersed within the residual stability arc.
(f) If the Administration is satisfied that stability is sufficient during the intermediate phases of the invasion.
Ships without means of propulsion
(14) The freeboard of an allege, barge or any other vessel without a means of autonomous propulsion shall be in accordance with the provisions of these rules. To barges that meet the requirements of subsections (2) and (3), they may be assigned freeboards in accordance with those of "A" vessels.
(a) The Administration should examine in particular the stability of barges carrying cargo on the uncovered bridge. Deck cargo can only be transported on barges to which a normal freeboard is assigned in accordance with that of "B" vessels.
(b) However, rules 25, 26 (2), 26 (3) and 39 do not apply to barges without personnel.
(c) If they have only small access openings on the freeboard bridge closed by water-tight panels made of steel or equivalent material and equipped with water-tight fittings, these barges without personnel may be assigned less than 25 per cent to those calculated in accordance with these rules.
Deduction for superstructures and trunks
Rule 37
In subsection (2), in the footnotes to the two tables for "A" and "B" vessels, add the words "and trunks" after the words "Superstructures".

If there is no superstructure at the rear end, the deck must extend at least to the rear end of the most rear-facing tailpipe.
The loading of decked wood shall extend as close as possible to the vessel's edge, taking into account the necessary margin for obstacles such as railings, leglets, amounts, pilot access, etc., provided that the interstice thus created on the vessel's wall does not exceed 4% of the vessel's width. The deck must be pulled as solidly as possible at least up to a height equal to the normal height of a superstructure other than half a duck.
(3) On board a ship navigating in winter in a periodic winter area, the height of the deck above the exposed deck shall not exceed one third of the largest width of the vessel.
(4) The load of wood in deck must be secured in a compact, grasped and subject manner. In no way does it interfere with the navigation and operation of the vessel.
Amounts
(5) When the nature of the wood requires the installation of amounts, the timber shall be of appropriate resistance in the light of the vessel's width; the resistance of the amounts shall not be greater than the resistance of the peacock and their spread shall be in relation to the length and type of the wood being transported, but shall not exceed 3 metres. Robust horns or metal hooves or any other such effective device shall be designed to maintain the amounts.
Saisines
(6) The berth must be effectively fixed over its entire length by a seam system deemed satisfactory by the Administration in view of the type of wood being transported.
* (a) Reference should be made to the Compendium of Practical Rules for the Safety of Ships Carriage of Decked Wood Cargos, adopted initially by the Organization in resolution A. 287 (VIII) and amended by the Maritime Safety Committee at its thirty-ninth session.
Stability
(7) A sufficient margin of stability shall be provided for all stages of travel, taking into account increases in weight, such as those resulting from removal of water by cargo and icing, if any, as well as weight loss from fuel consumption and supplies.
* (b) Reference should be made to the Compendium of Practical Rules for the Safety of Ships Carriage of Decked Wood Cargos, adopted initially by the Organization in resolution A. 287 (VIII) and amended by the Maritime Safety Committee at its thirty-ninth session.
Crew protection, access to the machine slice, etc.
(8) In addition to the requirements of Rule 25 (5), rails or safety lines whose vertical deviation shall not exceed 350 mm shall be installed on each side of the cargo deck up to a height of not less than one metre above the cargo.
In addition, as close as possible to the vessel's axis, a safety line, preferably a metal wire that is well stretched using a streak system. Lampstands of all rails and chains shall be spaced so as to avoid excessive damage. When the cargo is not flat, a safe passage of at least 600 mm wide shall be fitted above the cargo and subjected solidly under or beside the cargo.
(9) Where the requirements set out in subsection (8) cannot be applied, a system deemed satisfactory by the Administration must be used instead.
Steering apparatus
(10) The steering apparatus shall be effectively protected against any damage caused by the cargo and be accessible to the maximum extent possible. Effective arrangements must be made to govern in the event of aeroplane of the main steering apparatus.
Freeboard calculation
Rule 45
In subsection (5), after "bridged", add a comma and the words "or by applying the requirements of Rule 40 (8), from the summer draught for the carriage of wood, measured from the top of the keel to the summer load line for the carriage of wood in deck."
