1988 RELATING TO THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON LOAD LINES, 1966 THE PARTIES TO THE PRESENT PROTOCOL, BEING PARTIES to the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966, done at London on 5 April 1966,[1] RECOGNIZING the significant contribution which is made by the above-mentioned Convention to the promotion

the safety

ships and property at sea and the lives

persons on board, RECOGNIZING ALSO the need to improve further the technical provisions

the above-mentioned Convention, RECOGNIZING FURTHER the need for the introduction into the above-mentioned Convention

: (i) regulation 26, other than paragraph

this regulation; and (iii) paragraph

this regulation, provided that throughout the length

the ship any one transverse bulkhead will be assumed to be damaged, such that two adjacent fore and aft compartments shall be flooded simultaneously, except that such damage will not apply to the boundary bulkheads

a machinery space. (b) In such a ship, if over 150 m in length, the machinery space shall be treated as a floodable compartment but with a permeability

0.85. Initial condition

loading

loading before flooding shall be determined as follows: (

1. a)The ship is loaded to its summer load waterline on an imaginary even keel. (
2. b)When calculating the vertical centre

gravity, the following principles apply: (

1. i)Homogeneous cargo is carried. (
2. ii)All cargo compartments, except those referred to under (iii), but including compartments intended to be partially filled, shall be considered fully loaded except that in the case

fluid cargoes each compartment shall be treated as 98% full. (iii) If the ship is intended to operate at its summer load waterline with empty compartments, such compartments shall be considered empty provided the height

the centre

gravity so calculated is not less than as calculated under (ii). (iv) 50%

the individual total capacity

all tanks and spaces fitted to contain consumable liquids and stores is allowed for. It shall be assumed that for each type

liquid, at least one transverse pair or a single centreline tank has maximum free surface, and the tank or combination

tanks to be taken into account shall be those where the effect

free surfaces is the greatest; in each tank the centre

gravity

the contents shall be taken at the centre

volume

the tank. The remaining tanks shall be assumed either completely empty or completely filled, and the distribution

consumable liquids between these tanks shall be effected so as to obtain the greatest possible height above the keel for the centre

gravity. (v) At an angle

heel

not more than 5° in each compartment containing liquids, as prescribed in (ii) except that in the case

compartments containing consumable fluids, as prescribed in (iv), the maximum free surface effect shall be taken into account. Alternatively, this actual free surface effects may be used, provided the methods

calculation are acceptable to the Administration. (vi) Weights shall be calculated on the basis

the following values for specific gravities: salt water 1.025 fresh water 1.000 oil fuel 0.950 diesel oil 0.900 lubricating oil 0.900 Damage assumptions

the assumed damage apply: (a) The vertical extent

damage in all cases is assumed to be from the base line upwards without limit. (b) The transverse extent

damage is equal to B/5 or 11.5 m, whichever is the lesser, measured inboard from the side

the ship perpendicularly to the centreline at the level

the summer load waterline. (c) If damage

a lesser extent than specified in subparagraphs (

1. a)and (
2. b)results in a more severe condition, such lesser extent shall be assumed. (
3. d)Except where otherwise required by paragraph

the compartment is not in a position within the transverse extent

assumed damage. Transverse boundary bulkheads

wing tanks which do not extend over the full breadth

the ship shall be assumed not to be damaged, provided they extend beyond the transverse extent

assumed damage prescribed in subparagraph (b). If in a transverse bulkhead there are steps or recesses

not more than 3 m in length located within the transverse extent

assumed damage as defined in subparagraph (b), such transverse bulkhead may be considered intact and the adjacent compartment may be floodable singly. If, however, within the transverse extent

assumed damage there is a step or recess

more than 3 m in length in a transverse bulkhead, the two compartments adjacent to this bulkhead shall be considered as flooded. The step formed by the afterpeak bulkhead and the afterpeak tank top shall not be regarded as a step for the purpose

this regulation. (e) Where a main transverse bulkhead is located within the transverse extent

assumed damage and is stepped in way

a double bottom or side tank by more than 3 m, the double bottom or side tanks adjacent to the stepped portion

the main transverse bulkhead shall be considered as flooded simultaneously. If this side tank has openings, into one or several holds, such as grain feeding holes, such hold or holds shall be considered as flooded simultaneously. Similarly in a ship designed for the carriage

fluid cargoes, if a side tank has openings into adjacent compartments, such adjacent compartments shall be considered as empty and as being flooded simultaneously. This provision is applicable even where such openings are fitted with closing appliances, except in the case

sluice valves fitted in bulkheads between tanks and where the valves are controlled from the deck. Manhole covers with closely-spaced bolts are considered equivalent to the unpierced bulkhead except in the case

openings in topside tanks making the topside tanks common to the holds. (f) Where the flooding

any two adjacent fore and aft compartments is envisaged, main transverse watertight bulkheads shall be spaced at least 1/3 L2/3 or 14.5 m, whichever is the lesser, in order to be considered effective. Where transverse bulkheads are spaced at a lesser distance, one or more

these bulkheads shall be assumed as non-existent in order to achieve the minimum spacing between bulkheads. Conditions

equilibrium

equilibrium after flooding shall be regarded as satisfactory provided: (a) The final waterline after flooding, taking into account sinkage, heel and trim, is below the lower edge

any opening through which progressive downflooding may take place. Such openings shall include air pipes, ventilators and openings which are closed by means

weathertight doors (even if they comply with regulation 12) or hatch covers (even if they comply with regulation 16 or regulation 19

manhole covers and flush scuttles (which comply with regulation 18), cargo hatch covers

the type described in regulation 27

the non-opening type (which comply with regulation 23). However, in the case

doors separating a main machinery space from a steering gear compartment, watertight doors may be

a hinged, quick-acting type kept closed at sea, whilst not in use, provided also that the lower sill

such doors is above the summer load waterline. (b) If pipes, ducts or tunnels are situated within the assumed extent

damage penetration as defined in paragraph

damage. (c) The angle

heel due to unsymmetrical flooding does not exceed 15°. If no part

the deck is immersed, an angle

heel

up to 17° may be accepted. (

1. d)The metacentric height in the flooded condition is positive. (
