Any machinery spaceshall be isolated from cargo tanks and slop tanks by cofferdams， cargopump-rooms， oil fuel bunker tanks or ballast tanks. Pump-rooms containingpumps and their accessories for ballasting those spaces situated adjacentto cargo tanks and slop tanks and pumps for oil fuel transfer shall beconsidered as equivalent to a cargo pump-room within the context of thisRegulation， provided that such pump-rooms have the same safety standard asthat required for cargo pump-rooms. However， the lower portion of thepump-room may be recessed³⁶ into machinery spaces of category A toaccommodate pumps provided that the deck head of the recess³⁵ is in generalnot more than one third of the moulded depth above the keel， except thatin the case of ships of not more than 25，000 tonnes deadweight， where itcan be demonstrated that for reasons of access and satisfactory pipingarrangements this is impracticable， the Administration may permit a recessin excess of such height， but not exceeding one half of the moulded depthabove the keel.

　　2 Accommodation spaces， main cargo control stations， control stationsand service spaces （excluding isolated cargo handling gear lockers） shallbe positioned aft of all cargo tanks， slop tanks， and spaces whichisolate cargo or slop tanks from machinery spaces but not necessarily aftof the oil fuel bunker tanks and ballast tanks， but shall be arranged insuch a way that a single failure of a deck or bulkhead shall not permitthe entry of gas or fumes from the cargo tanks into an accommodationspace， main cargo control stations， control station， or service spaces. Arecess provided in accordance with paragraph 1 need not be taken intoaccount when the position of these spaces is being determined³⁷，

　　3 However， where deemed necessary， the Administration may permitaccommodation spaces， main cargo control stations， control stations， andservice spaces forward of the cargo tanks， slop tanks and spaces whichisolate cargo and slop tanks from machinery spaces， but not necessarilyforward of oil fuel bunker tanks or ballast tanks. Machinery spaces， otherthan those of category A， may be permitted forward of the cargo tanks andslop tanks provided they are isolated from the cargo tanks and slop tanksby cofferdams， cargo pumprooms， oil fuel bunker tanks or ballast tanks.All of the above spaces shall be subject to an equivalent standard ofsafety and appropriate availability of fire-extinguishing arrangementsbeing provided to the satisfaction of the Administration. Accommodationspaces， main cargo control spaces， control stations and service spacesshall be arranged in such a way that a single failure of a deck orbulkhead shall not permit the entry of gas or fumes from the cargo tanksinto such spaces. In addition， where deemed necessary for the safety ornavigation of the ship， the Administration may permit machinery spacescontaining internal combustion³⁸ machinery not being main propulsionmachinery having an output greater than 375 kW to be located forward ofthe cargo area provided the arrangements are in accordance with theprovisions of this paragraph.

　　4 In combination carriers only：

　　。1 The slop tanks shall be surrounded by cofferdams except wherethe boundaries of the slop tanks where slop may be carried on dry cargovoyages are the hull³⁹， main cargo deck， cargo pump-room bulkhead or oilfuel bunker tank. These cofferdams shall not be open to a double bottom，pipe tunnel， pump-room or other enclosed space. Means shall be providedfor filling the cofferdams with water and for draining them. Where theboundary of a slop tank is the cargo pump-room bulkhead the pump-roomshall not be open to the double bottom， pipe tunnel or other enclosedspace； however， openings provided with gastight bolted covers may bepermitted.

　　。2 Means shall be provided for isolating⁴⁰ the piping connecting thepump-room with the slop tanks referred to in paragraph 4.1. The means ofisolation shall consist of a valve followed by a spectacle flange⁴¹ or aspool piece with appropriate blank flanges⁴². This arrangement shall belocated adjacent to the slop tanks， but where this is unreasonable orimpracticable， it may be located within the pump-room directly after thepiping penetrates⁴³ the bulkhead. A separate pumping and piping arrangementincorporating a manifold shall be provided for discharging the contents ofthe slop tanks directly to the open deck for disposal to shore receptionfacilities when the ship is in the dry cargo mode.

　　。3 Hatches and tank cleaning openings to slop tanks shall only bepermitted on the open deck and shall be fitted with closing arrangements.Except where they consist of bolted plates with bolts at watertightspacing， these closing arrangements shall be provided with lockingarrangements which shall be under the control of the responsible ship'sofficer.

　　。4 Where cargo wing tanks are provided， cargo oil lines below deckshall be installed inside these tanks. However， the Administration maypermit cargo oil lines to be placed in special ducts which shall becapable of being adequately cleaned and ventilated and be to thesatisfaction of the Administration. Where cargo wing tanks are notprovided cargo oil lines below deck shall be placed in special ducts.

　　5 Where the fitting of a navigation position above the cargo area isshown to be necessary， it shall be for navigation purposes only and itshall be separated from the cargo tank deck by means of an open space witha height of at least 2 m. The fire protection of such a navigationposition shall in addition be as required for control spaces in Regulation58.1 and 58.2 and other provisions， as applicable， of this part.

　　6 Means shall be provided to keep spills away from the accommodationand service areas. This may be accomplished⁴⁴ by provision of a permanentcontinuos coaming of a suitable height extending from side to side.Special consideration shall be given to the arrangements associated withstern loading.

　　7 Exterior⁴⁵ boundaries of superstructures and deckhouses enclosingaccommodation and including any overhanging decks which supper suchaccommodation， shall be insulated to “A60” standard for the whole of theportions which face the cargo area and on the outward sides for a distanceof 3 m from the end boundary facing the cargo area. In the case of thesides of those superstructures and deckhouses， such insulation shall becarried as high as is deemed necessary by the Administration.

　　8.1 Except as permitted in paragraph 8.2 below， access doors， airinlets and openings to accommodation spaces， service spaces， controlstations and machinery spaces shall not face the cargo area. They shall belocated on the transverse bulkhead not facing the cargo area or on theoutboard side of the superstructure or deckhouse at a distance of at least4% of the length of the ship but not less than 3 m from the end of thesuperstructure or deckhouse facing the cargo area. This distance need notexceed 5 m.

　　8.2 The Administration may permit access doors in boundary bulkheadsfacing the cargo area or within the 5 m limits specified in paragraph 8.1，to main cargo control stations and to such service spaces as provisionrooms， store-rooms and lockers， provided they do not give access directlyor indirectly⁴⁶ to any other space containing or provided for accommodation，control stations or service spaces such as galleys， pantries orworkshops， or similar spaces containing sources of vapour ignition. Theboundary of such a space shall be insulated to “A -60” standard， with theexception of the boundary facing the cargo area. Bolted plates for theremoval of machinery may be fitted within the limits specified inparagraph 8.1. Wheelhouse doors and wheelhouse windows may be locatedwithin the limits specified in paragraph 8.1 so long as they are designedto ensure that the wheelhouse can be made rapidly and efficiently⁴⁷ gas andvapour tight.

　　8.3 Windows and sidescuttles facing the cargo area and on the sides ofthe superstructures and deckhouses within the limits specified inparagraph 8.1 shall be of the fixed （non-opening） type. Such windows andsidescuttles in the first tier on the main deck shall be fitted withinside covers of steel or other equivalent material.“
