It replaces the “Laws Governing Marine Inspection,” dated June 1, 1962. The current laws reprinted herein were approved prior to March 1, 1965. The text of the 1960 Safety of Life at Sea Convention, which will be in effect on and after May 26, 1965, is set forth herein as a separate chapter VIII. General authority over the administration of the laws, rules and regulations governing the inspection and navigation of merchant vessels in the several Coast Guard Districts is delegated to the Coast Guard District Commanders in such districts. The rules and regula- tions prescribed by the Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, which imple- ment the marine safety laws in this pamphlet are published in the Federal Register and in title 33, chapter I, and title 46, chapter I, of the Code of Federal Regulations. In addition, certain rules and regulations on specific subjects are published in separate publications. Attention is invited to section 492 of title 46, United States Code, contained herein, which requires every master or commander of any steam vessel carrying passengers to keep on board at least two copies of this publication. It may be obtained upon request from any Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, United States Coast Guard, and their local addresses are set forth on the last two pages of this pamphlet. Til TV; FOREWORD It is most important that shipowners, operators, builders, vessels’ operating forces, and other persons affected by these laws, rules and regulations familiarize themselves with the laws reprinted herein. To this end, Coast Guard personnel concerned with the administration of these laws will extend every possible assistance. EZ Girtood E. J. Rotann, Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commandant.

Adjudications 5 U.S.C. 1004 In every case of adjudication required by statute to be deter- mined on the record after opportunity for an agency hearing, except to the extent that there is involved (1) any matter subject to a subsequent trial of the law and the facts de novo in any court; (2) the selection or tenure of an officer or employee of the United States other than examiners appointed pursuant to section 11; (3) proceedings in which decisions rest solely on inspections, tests, or elections; (4) the conduct of military, naval, or foreign affairs ORGANIC LAWS GOVERNING U.S. COAST GUARD 1H functions; (5) cases in which an agency is acting as an agent for a court; and (6) the certification of employee representatives. (a) Notice of hearing and issues.—Persons entitled to notice of an agency hearing shall be timely informed of (1) the time, place, and nature thereof; (2) the legal authority and jurisdiction under which the hearing is to be held; and (3) the matters of fact and law asserted. In instances in which private persons are the moving parties, other parties to the proceeding shall give prompt notice of issues contro- verted in fact or law; and in other instances agencies may by rule require responsive pleading. In fixing the times and places for hear- ings, due regard shall be had for the convenience and necessity of the parties or their representatives. (b) Procedure—The agency shall afford all interested parties op- portunity for (1) the submission and consideration of facts, argu- ments, offers of settlement, or proposals of adjustment where time, the nature of the proceeding, and the public interest permit, and (2) to the extent that the parties are unable so to determine any contro- versy by consent, hearing, and decision upon notice and in conformity with sections 1006 and 1007 of this title. (c) Authority and functions of officers and employees.—The same officers who preside at the reception of evidence pursuant to section 1006 of this title shall make the recommended decision-or initial deci- sion required by section 1007 of this title except where such officers become unavailable to the agency. Save to the extent required for the disposition of ex parte matters as authorized by law, no such officer shall consult any person or party on any fact in issue unless upon notice and opportunity for all parties to participate; nor shall such officer be responsible to or subject to the supervision or direction of any officer, employee, or agent engaged in the performance of in- vestigative or prosecuting functions for any agency. No officer, em- ployee, or agent engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions for any agency in any case shall, in that or a factually related case, participate or advise in the decision, recom- mended decision, or agency review pursuant to section 1007 of this title except as witness or counsel in public proceedings. This subsec- tion shall not apply in determining applications for initial licenses or to proceedings involving the validity or application of rates, facil- ities, or practices of public utilities or carriers; nor shall it be appli- cable in any manner to the agency or any member or members of the body comprising the agency. (d) Declaratory orders.—The agency is authorized in its sound dis- cretion, with like effect as in the case of other orders, to issue a declaratory order to terminate a controversy or remove uncertainty. Ancillary matters 3, U.9.G. 1005 Except as otherwise provided in this chapter— (a) Appearance and representation of parties—Any person com- pelled to appear in person before any agency or representative thereof shall be accorded the right to be accompanied, represented, and advised by counsel or, if permitted by the agency, by other qualified represent- 12 LAWS GOVERNING MARINE INSPECTION ative. Every party shall be accorded the right to appear in person or by or with counsel or other duly qualified representative in any agency proceeding. So far as the orderly conduct of public business permits, any interested person may appear before any agency or its responsible officers or employees for the presentation, adjustment, or determination of any issue, request, or controversy in any proceeding (interlocutory, summary, or otherwise) or in connection with any agency function. Every agency shall proceed with reasonable dispatch to conclude any matter presented to it except that due regard shall be had for the convenience and necessity of the parties or their representatives. Nothing herein shall be construed either to grant or to deny to any person who is not a lawyer the right to appear for or represent others before any agency or in any agency proceeding. (b) Issuance of process; investigations; transcript of evidence—No process, requirement of a report, inspection, or other investigative act or demand shall be issued, made, or enforced in any manner or for any purpose except as authorized by law. Every person compelled to submit data or evidence shall be entitled to retain or, on payment of lawfully prescribed costs, procure a copy or transcript thereof, except that in a nonpublic investigatory proceeding the witness may for good cause be limited to inspection of the official transcript of his testimony. (c) Subpenas and production of evidence.—Agency subpenas au- thorized by law shall be issued to any party upon request and, as may be required by rules of procedure, upon a statement or showing of general relevance and reasonable scope of the evidence sought. Upon contest the court shall sustain any such subpena or similar process or demand to the extent that it is found to be in accordance with law and, in any proceeding for enforcement, shall issue an order requiring the appearance of the witness or the production of the evidence or data within a reasonable time under penalty of punishment for contempt in case of contumacious failure to comply. (d) Notice of denial of application or petition—Prompt notice shall be given to the denial in whole or in part of any written applica- tion, petition, or other request of any interested person made in connec- tion with any agency proceeding. Except in affirming a prior denial or where the denial is self-explanatory, such notice shall be accompanied by a simple statement of procedural or other grounds. Hearings; presiding officers 5 U.S.C. 1006 In hearings which section 1003 or 1004 of this title requires to be conducted pursuant to this section— (a) There shall preside at the taking of evidence (1) the agency, (2) one or more members of the body which comprises the agency, or (3) one or more examiners appointed as provided in this Act; but nothing in this Act shall be deemed to supersede the conduct of specified classes of proceedings in whole or part by or before boards or. other officers specially provided for by or designated pursuant to statute. The functions of all presiding officers and of officers par- ticipating in decisions in conformity with section 1007 of this title shall be conducted in an impartial manner. Any such officer may at ORGANIC LAWS GOVERNING U.S. COAST GUARD 13 any time withdraw if he deems himself disqualified; and, upon the filing in good faith of a timely and sufficient affidavit of personal bias or disqualification of any such officer, the agency shall deter- mine the matter as a part of the record and decision in the case. (b) Officers presiding at hearings shall have authority, subject to the published rules of the agency and within its powers, to (1) ad- minister oaths and affirmations, (2) issue subpenas authorized by law, (3) rule upon offers of proof and receive relevant evidence, (4) take or cause depositions to be taken whenever the ends of Jus- tice would be served thereby, (5) regulate the course of the hearing, (6) hold conferences for the settlement or simplification of the issues by consent of the parties, (7) dispose of procedural requests or similar matter, (8) make decisions or recommend decisions in con- formity with section 8, and (9) take any other action authorized by agency rule consistent with this chapter. (c) Except as statutes otherwise provide, the proponent of a rule or order shall have the burden of proof. Any oral or documentary evidence may be received, but every agency shall as a matter of policy provide for the exclusion of irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repe- titious evidence and no sanction shall be imposed or rule or order be issued except upon consideration of the whole record or such portions thereof as may be cited by any party and as supported by and in accordance with the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence. Every party shall have the right to present his case or defense by oral or documentary evidence, to submit rebuttal evidence, and to conduct such cross-examination as may be required for a full and true disclosure of the facts. In rule making or determining claims for money or benefits or applications for initial licenses any agency may, where the interest of any party will not be prejudiced thereby, adopt procedures for the submission of all or part of the evidence in written form. (d) The transcript of testimony and exhibits, together with all papers and requests filed in the proceeding, shall constitute the ex- clusive record for decision in accordance with section 8 and, upon payment of lawfully prescribed costs, shall be made available to the parties. Where any agency decision rests on official notice of a ma- terial fact not appearing in the evidence in the record, any party shall on timely request be afforded an opportunity to show the contrary. Initial decisions; conclusiveness; review by agency 5 U:S.C. 1007 In cases in which a hearing is required to be conducted in con- formity with section 1007 of this title— (a) In cases in which the agency has not presided at the reception of the evidence, the officer who presided (or, in cases not subject to subsection (c) of section 1004 of this title, any other officer or officers qualified to preside at hearings pursuant to section 1006 of this title) shall initially decide the case or the agency shall require (in specific cases or by general rule) the entire record to be certified to it for initial decision. Whenever such officers make the initial decision and in the absence of either an appeal to the agency or review upon mo- tion of the agency within time provided by rule, such decision shall 14 LAWS GOVERNING MARINE INSPECTION without further proceedings then become the decision of the agency. On appeal from or review of the initial decisions of such officers the agency shall, except as it may limit the issues upon notice or by rule, have all the powers which it would have in making the initial deci- sion. Whenever the agency makes the initial decision without having presided at the reception of the evidence, such officers shall first recommend a decision except that in rule making or determining ap- plications for initial licenses (1) in lieu thereof the agency may issue a tentative decision or any of its responsible officers may recommend a decision or (2) any such procedure may be omitted in any case in which the agency finds upon the record that due and timely execution of its functions imperatively and unavoidably so requires. (b) Prior to each recommended, initial, or tentative decision, or decision upon agency review of the decision of subordinate officers the parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to submit for the consideration of the officers participating in such decisions (1) proposed findings and conclusions, or (2) exceptions to the decisions or recommended decisions of subordinate officers or to tentative agency decisions, and (3) supporting reasons for such exceptions or proposed findings or conclusions. The record shall show the ruling upon each such finding, conclusion, or exception presented. All decisions (including initial, recommended, or tentative deci- sions) shall become a part of the record and include a statement of (1) findings and conclusions, as well as the reasons or basis therefor, upon all the material issues of fact, law, or discretion presented on the record; and (2) the appropriate rule, order, sanction, relief, or denial thereof. Imposition of sanctions 5 U.S.C. 1008 In the exercise of any power or authority— (a) No sanction shall be imposed or substantive rule or order be issued except within jurisdiction delegated to the agency and as authorized by law. (b) In any case in which application is made for a license re- required by law the agency, with due regard to the rights or privileges of all the interested parties or adversely affected persons and with reasonable dispatch, shall set and complete any proceedings required to be conducted pursuant to sections 1006 and 1007 of this title or other proceedings required by law and shall make its decision. Ex- cept in cases of willfulness or those in which public health, interest, or safety requires otherwise, no withdrawal, suspension, revocation, or annulment of any license shall be lawful unless, prior to the institu- tion of agency proceedings therefor, facts or conduct which may warrant such action shall have been called to the attention of the licensee by the agency in writing and the licensee shall have been accorded opportunity to demonstrate or achieve compliance with all lawful requirements. In any case in which the licensee has, in ac- cordance with agency rules, made timely and sufficient application for a renewal or a new license, no license with reference to any activity of a continuing nature shall expire until such application shall have been finally determined by the agency. ORGANIC LAWS GOVERNING U.S. COAST GUARD 15 Judicial review of agency 5 U.S.C. 1009 Except so far as (1) statutes preclude judicial review or (2) agency action is by law committed to agency discretion— (a) Right of review—Any person suffering legal wrong because of any agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by such action within the meaning of any relevant statute, shall be entitled to judicial review thereof. (b) Form and venue of proceedings.—The form of proceeding for judicial review shall be any special statutory review proceeding relevant to the subject matter in any court specified by statute, or, in the absence or inadequacy thereof, any applicable form of legal action (including actions for declaratory judgments or writs of pro- hibitory or mandatory injunction or habeas corpus) in any court of competent jurisdiction. Agency action shall be subject to judicial review in civil or criminal proceedings for judicial enforcement except to the extent that prior, adequate, and exclusive opportunity for such review is provided by law. (c) Reviewable acts—Every agency action made reviewable by statute and every final agency action for which there is no other adequate remedy in any court shall be subject to judicial review. Any preliminary, procedural, or intermediate agency action or ruling not directly reviewable shall be subject to review upon the review of the final agency action. Except as otherwise expressly required by statute, agency action otherwise final shall be final for the purposes of this subsection whether or not there has been presented or deter- mined any application for a declaratory order, for any form of re- consideration, or (unless the agency otherwise requires by rule and provides that the action meanwhile shall be inoperative) for an appeal to superior agency authority. (d) Relief pending review.—Pending judicial review any agency is authorized, where it finds that justice so requires, to postpone the effective date of any action taken by it. Upon such conditions as may be required and to the extent necessary to prevent irreparable injury, every reviewing court (including every court to which a case may be taken on appeal from or upon application for certiorari or other writ to a reviewing court) is authorized to issue all necessary and appropriate process to postpone the effective date of any agency action or to preserve status or rights pending conclusion of the review proceedings. (e) Scope of review.—So far as necessary to decision and where presented the reviewing court shall decide all relevant questions of law, interpret constitutional and statutory provisions, and determine the meaning or applicability of the terms of any agency action. It shall (A) compel agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed; and (B) hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and conclusions found to be (1) arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law; (2) contrary to constitutional right, power, privilege, or immunity; (3) in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right; (4) without observance of procedure required by law; (5) un- 16 LAWS GOVERNING MARINE INSPECTION supported by substantial evidence in any case subject to the require- ments of sections 1006 and 1007 of this title or otherwise reviewed on the record of an agency hearing provided by statute; or (6) unwar- ranted by the facts to the extent that the facts are subject to trial de novo by the reviewing court. In making the foregoing deter- minations the court shall review the whole record or such portions thereof as may be cited by any party, and due account shall be taken of the rule of prejudicial error. Appointment of examiners 5 U.S.C. 1010 Subject to the civil-service and other laws to the extent not in- consistent with this chapter, there shall be appointed by and for each agency as many qualified and competent examiners as may be neces- sary for proceedings pursuant to sections 1006 and 1007 of this title who shall be assigned to cases in rotation so far as practicable and shall perform no duties inconsistent with their duties and respon- sibilities as examiners. Examiners shall be removable by the agency in which they are employed only for good cause established and de- termined by the Civil Service Commission (hereinafter called the Commission) after opportunity for hearing and upon the record thereof. Examiners shall receive compensation prescribed by the Commission independently of agency recommendations or ratings and in accordance with the Classification Act of 1949, except that the provisions of paragraphs (2) and (38) of subsection (b) of sec- tion 667 of this title, and the provisions of section 669 of this title, shall not be applicable. Agencies occasionally or temporarily in- sufficiently staffed may utilize examiners selected by the Commission from and with the consent of other agencies. For the purposes of this section, the Commission is authorized to make investigations, require reports by agencies, issue reports, including an annual report to the Congress, promulgate rules, appoint such advisory committees as may be deemed necessary, recommend legislation, subpena wit- nesses or records, and pay witness fees as established for the United States courts. Impairment of rights; effect on other laws 5 U.S.C. 1011 Nothing in this chapter shall be held to diminish the constitutional rights of any person or to limit or repeal additional requirements imposed by statute or otherwise recognized by law. Except as other- wise required by law, all requirements or privileges relating to evi- dence or procedure shall apply equally to agencies and persons. If any provision of this chapter or the application thereof is held invalid, the remainder of this chapter or other applications of such provision shall not be affected. Every agency is granted all author- ity necessary to comply with the requirements of this chapter through the issuance of rules or otherwise. No subsequent legislation shall be held to supersede or modify the provisions of this chapter except to the extent that such legislation shall do so expressly. ORGANIC LAWS GOVERNING U.S. COAST GUARD LT, Documents to be published in Federal Register 44 U.S.C. 305 (a) Proclamations and Executive Orders; documents having gen- eral applicability and legal effect; documents required to be published by Congress. There shall be published in the Federal Register (1) all Presiden- tial proclamations and Executive Orders, except such as have no gen- eral applicability and legal effect or are effective only against Federal agencies or persons in their capacity as officers, agents, or employees thereof; (2) such documents or classes of documents as the President shall determine from time to time have general applicability and legal effect; and (3) such documents or classes of documents as may be re- quired so to be published by Act of the Congress: Provided, That for the purposes of this chapter every document or order which shall prescribe a penalty shall be deemed to have general applicability and legal effect. (b) Documents authorized to be published by regulations; com- ments and news items excluded. In addition to the foregoing there shall also be published in the Fed- eral Register such other documents or classes of documents as may be authorized to be published pursuant hereto by regulations prescribed hereunder with the approval of the President, but in no case shall com- ments or news items of any character whatsoever be authorized to be published in the Federal Register. (c) Suspension of requirements for filing of documents, alternate systems for promulgating, filing or publishing documents; preserva- tion of originals. In the event of an attack or threatened attack upon the continental United States, by air or otherwise, and a determination by the Presi- dent that as a result of such attack or threatened attack (i) publica- tion of the Federal Register or filing of documents with the Division is impracticable, or (i1) under existing conditions publication in the Federal Register would not serve to give appropriate notice to the public of the contents of documents, the President may, without re- gard to the provisions of this chapter or of the Administrative Pro- cedure Act, or of any other provision of law, suspend all or any part of the requirements of law or regulation for filing with the Division or publication in the Federal Register of all or any documents or classes of documents. Such suspensions shall remain in effect. until revoked by the President, or by concurrent resolution of the Congress. The President shall establish such alternate systems for promulgat- ing, filing, or publishing documents or classes of documents affected by such suspensions, including requirements relating to their effective- ness or validity, as may be deemed under the then existing circum- stances practicable to provide public notice of the issuance and of the contents of such documents. Such alternate systems may, without limitation, make provision for the use of regional or specialized pub- lications or depositories for documents, or of the press, the radio, or similar mediums of general communication. Compliance with such alternate systems of filing or publication shall have the same force and effect as filing with the Division or publication in the Federal Register 763-778 O—65——-3 18 LAWS GOVERNING MARINE INSPECTION pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or of any other Act, or of any regulation. With respect to documents promulgated under such alternate systems, each agency shall preserve the original and two duplicate originals or two certified copies thereof for filing with the Division when the President determines that it is practicable to do so. (July 26, 1935, ch. 417, § 5, 49 Stat. 501; June 25, 1956, ch. 444, 70 Stat. 337.) Filing document as constructive notice; publication in Register as presumption of validity; judicial notice; citation 44 U.S.C. 307 No document required under section 305(a) of this title to be published in the Federal Register shall be valid as against any person who has not had actual knowl ledge thereof until the diplicate originals or certified copies of the document shall have been filed with the Diyi- sion and a copy made available for public inspection as provided in section 302 of this title; and, unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, such filing of any document, required or authorized to be published under section 305 of this title, shall, except in cases where notice by publication is insufficient in law, be sufficient to give notice of the contents of such document to any person subject thereto or affected thereby. The publication in the Federal Register of any document shall create a rebuttable presumption (a) that it was duly issued, prescribed, or promulgated; (b) that it was duly filed with the Division and made available for public inspection at the day and hour stated in the printed notation; (c) that the copy contained in the Federal Register is a true copy of the original; and (d) that all re- quirements of this chapter and the regulations prescribed hereunder relative to such document have been complied with. The contents of the Federal Register shall be judicially noticed and, without prejudice to any other mode of citation, may be cited by volume and page number. (July 26, 1935, ch. 417, § 7,49 Stat. 502.) Publication in Register as notice of hearing 44 U.S.C. 308 Whenever notice of hearing or of opportunity to be heard is required or authorized to be given by or under an Act of the Congress, or may otherwise properly be given, the notice shall be deemed to have been duly given to all persons residing within the continental United States (not including Alaska), except in cases where notice by publication is insufficient in law, if said notice shall be published in the Federal Register at such time that the period between the publication and the date fixed in such notice for the hearing or for the termination of the opportunity to be heard shall be (a) not less than the time specifically prescribed for the publication of the notice by the appropriate Act of the Congress; or (b) not less than fifteen days when no time for publi- cation is specifically prescribed by the Act, without prejudice, however, to the effectiveness of any notice of less than fifteen days where such shorter period is reasonable.

ORGANIC LAWS GOVERNING U.S. COAST GUARD 19 Federal Register annual supplements; style and composition; application to Code of Federal Regulations 44 U.S.C. 311 (a) The Administrative Committee of the Federal Register is authorized, with the approval of the President, to require, from time to time as it may deem necessary, the preparation and publication in special or supplemental editions of the Federal Register of com- plete codifications of the documents of each agency of the Govern- ment which have general applicability and legal effect, which have been issued or promulgated by such agency by publication in the Fed- eral Register or by filing with the Committee, and which are relied upon by the agency as authority for, or are invoked or used by it in the discharge of, its activities or functions, and are in force and in effect as to facts arising on or after such dates as may be specified by the Committee. (b) Any codification published pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall be printed and bound in permanent form and shall be designated as the “Code of Federal Regulations.” The Committee shall regulate the binding of the printed codifications into separate books with a view to practical usefulness and economical manufacture.

Regulation 6 Special Rules concerning Subdivision _ (a) Where in a portion or portions of a ship the watertight bulkheads are ‘carried to a higher deck than in the remainder of the ship and it is desired to take advantage of this higher extension of the bulkheads in calculating the floodable length, separate margin lines may be used for each such portion of the ship provided that— _ (i) the sides of the ship are extended throughout the ship’s length to the p deck corresponding to the upper margin line and all openings in the i shell plating below this deck throughout the length of the ship are treated as being below a margin line, for the purposes of : Regulation 14 of this Chapter; and CRise2 C28 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (ii) the two compartments adjacent to the “step” in the bulkhead deel are each within the permissible length corresponding to thei respective margin lines, and, in addition, their combined leng) does not exceed twice the permissible length based on the lowe margin line. (b) (i) A compartment may exceed the permissible length determined b the rules of Regulation 5 of this Chapter provided the combined length of eack pair of adjacent compartments to which the compartment in question is common does not exceed either the floodable length or twice the permissible length, whichever is the less. (ii) If one of the two adjacent compartments is situated inside the machinery space, and the second is situated outside the machinery space, and the average permeability of the portion of the ship in which the second is situated differs from that of the machinery space, the combined length of the two compartments shall be adjusted to the mean average permeability of the two portions of the ship in which the compartments are situated. : (iii) Where the two adjacent compartments have different factors of subdivision, the combined length of the two compartments shall be determin proportionately. (c) In ships 330 feet (or 100 metres) in length and upwards, one of the main transverse bulkheads abaft the forepeak shall be fitted at a distance from, 4 ¢ forward perpendicular which is not greater than the permissible length. (d) A main transverse bulkhead may be recessed provided that all pa of the recess lie inboard of vertical surfaces on both sides of the ship, situat at a distance from the shell plating equal to one-fifth the breadth of the ship, — as defined in Regulation 2 of this Chapter, and measured at right angles to th centre line at the level of the deepest subdivision loadline. Bt ; Any part of a recess which lies outside these limits shall be dealt wit ‘ as a step in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Regulation. z (e) A main transverse bulkhead may be stepped provided that it mee one of the following conditions : — ; (i) the combined length of the two compartments, separated by od bulkhead in question, does not exceed either 90 per cent. of the floodable length or twice the permissible length, except that in ships having a factor of subdivision greater than -9, the combined length of the two compartments in question shall not exceed the permissible length; ; (ii) additional subdivision is provided in way of the step to maintain the same measure of safety as that secured by a plane bulkhead; " (iii) the compartment over which the step extends does not exceed the. permissible length corresponding to a margin line taken 3 inches (or 76 millimetres) below the step. ; Ch. 2 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C29 _ (f) Where a main transverse bulkhead is recessed or stepped, an equivalent lane bulkhead shall be used in determining the subdivision. + (g) If the distance between two adjacent main transverse bulkheads, or their equivalent plane bulkheads, or the distance between the transverse planes passing through the nearest stepped portions of the bulkheads, is less than 10 feet (or 3-05 metres) plus 3 per cent. of the length of the ship, or 35 feet (or 10-67 metres) whichever is the less, only one of these bulkheads shall be tegarded as forming part of the subdivision of the ship in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 5 of this Chapter. (h) Where a main transverse watertight compartment contains local subdivision and it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Administration that, after any assumed side damage extending over a length of 10 feet (or 3-05 metres) plus 3 per cent. of the length of the ship, or 35 feet (or 10-67 metres) whichever is the less, the whole volume of the main compartment will not be flooded, a proportionate allowance may be made in the permissible length otherwise required for such compartment. In such a case the volume of effective buoyancy assumed on the undamaged side shall not be greater than that assumed on the damaged side. (i) Where the required factor of subdivision is -50 or less, the combined length of any two adjacent compartments shall not exceed the floodable length. Regulation 7 Stability of Ships in Damaged Condition (a) Sufficient intact stability shall be provided in all service conditions so as to enable the ship to withstand the final stage of flooding of any one main compartment which is required to be within the floodable length. Where two adjacent main compartments are separated by a bulkhead which is stepped under the conditions of sub-paragraph (e) (i) of Regulation 6 of this Chapter the intact stability shall be adequate to withstand the flooding of those two adjacent main compartments. Where the required factor of subdivision is -50 or less but more than °33 intact stability shall be adequate to withstand the flooding of any two adjacent main compartments. Where the required factor of subdivision is -33 or less the intact stability ‘shall be adequate to withstand the flooding of any three adjacent main compartments. _ (b) (i) The requirements of paragraph (a) of this Regulation shall be ‘determined by calculations which are in accordance with paragraphs (c), (d) and (f) of this Regulation and which take into consideration the proportions and Che -2 C30 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA design characteristics of the ship and the arrangement and configuration the damaged compartments. In making these calculations the ship is to assumed in the worst anticipated service condition as regards stability. (ii) Where it is proposed to fit decks, inner skins or longitudin bulkheads of sufficient tightness to seriously restrict the flow of water, t Administration shall be satisfied that proper consideration is given to restrictions in the calculations. (iii) In cases where the Administration considers the range of stabili i in the damaged condition to be doubtful, it may require investigation the (c) For the purpose of making damage stability calculations the voll and surface permeabilities shall be in general as follows: Spaces Bi bi Appropriated to Cargo, Coal or Stores Occupied by Accommodation Occupied by Machinery... oe es sia iz Intended for Liquids oe mr am ae 0 or on *Whichever results in the more severe requirements. Higher surface permeabilities are to be assumed in respect of spaces whick in the vicinity of the damage waterplane, contain no substantial quantity ¢ accommodation or machinery and spaces which are not generally occupied by any substantial quantity of cargo or stores. (d) Assumed extent of damage shall be as follows :— (i) longitudinal extent : 10 feet (or 3-05 metres) plus 3 per cent. of th length of the ship, or 35 feet (or 10-67 metres) whichever is thi less. Where the required factor of subdivision is -33 or less the assumed longitudinal extent of damage shall be increased necessary so as to include any two consecutive main transvers watertight bulkheads; (ii) transverse extent (measured inboard from the ship’s side, at rig angles to the centre line at the level of the deepest subdivision load line): a distance of one-fifth of the breadth of the ship, as defines in Regulation 2 of this Chapter; and 4 (iii) vertical extent: from the base line upwards without limit. (iv) If any damage of lesser extent than that indicated in sub-paragraph (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph would result in a more severe condition regarding heel or loss of metacentric height, such damagi shall be assumed in the calculations. Ch. 2 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C31 _ (e) Unsymmetrical flooding is to be kept to a minimum consistent with efficient arrangements. Where it is necessary to correct large angles of heel, } means adopted shall, where practicable, be self-acting, but in any case ere controls to cross-flooding fittings are provided they shall be operable ym above the bulkhead deck. These fittings together with their controls ell as the maximum heel before equalisation shall be acceptable to the tration. Where cross-flooding fittings are required the time for alisation shall not exceed 15 minutes. Suitable information concerning use of cross-flooding fittings shall be supplied to the master of the ship. _ (f) The final conditions of the ship after damage and, in the case of un etrical flooding, after equalisation measures have been taken shall as follows : — = (i) in the case of symmetrical flooding there shall be a positive residual metacentric height of at least 2 inches (or 0-05 metres) as calculated by the constant displacement method; (ii) in the case of unsymmetrical flooding the total heel shall not exceed seven degrees, except that, in special cases, the Administration may allow additional heel due to the unsymmetrical moment, but in no case shall the final heel exceed fifteen degrees; _ (iii) in no case shall the margin line be submerged in the final stage of flooding. If it is considered that the margin line may become submerged during an intermediate stage of flooding, the Administration may require such investigations and arrangements as it considers necessary for the safety of the ship. (g) The master of the ship shall be supplied with the data necessary to aintain sufficient intact stability under service conditions to enable the ship » withstand the critical damage. In the case of ships requiring cross-flooding the master of the ship shall be informed of the conditions of stability on which he calculations of heel are based and be warned that excessive heeling might fesult should the ship sustain damage when in a less favourable condition. (A) (i) No relaxation from the requirements for damage stability may be onsidered by the Administration unless it is shown that the intact metacentric leight in any service condition necessary to meet these requirements is sive for the service intended. (ii) Relaxations from the requirements for damage stability shall be permitted only in exceptional cases and subject to the condition that the tration is to be satisfied that the proportions, arrangements and other aracteristics of the ship are the most favourable to stability after damage hich can practically and reasonably be adopted in the particular mstances. Ch. 2 C32 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA Regulation 8 Ballasting When ballasting with water is necessary, the water ballast should not in” general be carried in tanks intended for oil fuel. In ships in which it is practicable to avoid putting water in oil fuel tanks, oily-water separate equipment to the satisfaction of the Administration shall be fitted, or othe alternative means acceptable to the Administration shall be provided fo disposing of the oily-water ballast. Regulation 9 Peak and Machinery Space Bulkheads, Shaft Tunnels, &c. (a) (i) A ship shall have a forepeak or collision bulkhead, which shall be watertight up to the bulkhead deck. This bulkhead shall be fitted not less © than 5 per cent. of the length of the ship, and not more than 10 feet (or 3-05 metres) plus 5 per cent. of the length of the ship from the forward © perpendicular. > (ii) If the ship has a long forward superstructure, the forepeak bulk head shall be extended weathertight to the deck next above the bulkhead | deck. The extension need not be fitted directly over the bulkhead below, provided it is at least 5 per cent. of the length of the ship from the forward | perpendicular, and the part of the bulkhead deck which forms the step 1 ’ made effectively weathertight. (6) An afterpeak bulkhead, and bulkheads dividing the machinery space as defined in Regulation 2 of this Chapter, from the cargo and passenger spaces forward and aft, shall also be fitted and made watertight up to . bulkhead deck. The afterpeak bulkhead may, however, be stopped belov the bulkhead deck, provided the degree of safety of the ship as regards subdivision is not thereby diminished. (c) In all cases stern tubes shall be enclosed in watertight spaces oO! moderate volume. The stern gland shall be situated in a watertight shaf tunnel or other watertight space separate from the stern tube compartment and of such volume that, if flooded by leakage through the stern gland, the margin line will not be submerged. Regulation 10 Double Bottoms (a) A double bottom shall be fitted extending from the forepeak bulkhed qd to the afterpeak bulkhead as far as this is practicable and compatible with the design and proper working of the ship.. Ch. 2 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C33 (i) In ships 165 feet (or 50 metres) and under 200 feet (or 61 metres) in length a double bottom shall be fitted at least from the machinery space to the forepeak bulkhead, or as near thereto as practicable. Meet ee (ii) In ships 200 feet (or 61 metres) and under 249 feet (or 76 metres) in length a double bottom shall be fitted at least outside the machinery space, and shall extend to the fore and after peak bulkheads, or as near thereto as practicable. (iii) In ships 249 feet (or 76 metres) in length and upwards a double bottom shall be fitted amidships, and shall extend to the fore and after peak bulkheads, or as near thereto as practicable. (b) Where a double bottom is required to be fitted its depth shall be to the satisfaction of the Administration and the inner bottom shall be continued out to the ship’s sides in such a manner as to protect the bottom to the turn of the bilge. Such protection will be deemed satisfactory if the line of inter- section of the outer edge of the margin plate with the bilge plating is not lower at any part than a horizontal plane passing through the point of intersection with the frame line amidships of a transverse diagonal line inclined at 25 degrees to the base line and cutting it at a point one-half the ship’s moulded breadth from the middle line. (c) Small wells constructed in the double bottom in connection with drainage arrangements of holds, &c., shall not extend downwards more than Necessary. The depth of the well shall in no case be more than the depth less 18 inches (or 457 millimetres) of the double bottom at the centreline, nor shall the well extend below the horizontal plane referred to in paragraph (b) of this Regulation. A well extending to the outer bottom is, however, permitted at the after end of the shaft tunnel of screw ships. Other wells (e.g., for lubricating oii under main engines) may be permitted by the Administration if satisfied that the arrangements give protection equivalent to that afforded by a double bottom complying with this Regulation. (d) A double bottom need not be fitted in way of watertight compartments of moderate size used exclusively for the carriage of liquids, provided the safety of the ship, in the event of bottom or side damage, is not, in the opinion of the Administration, thereby impaired. (e) In the case of ships to which the provisions of paragraph (d) of Regulation 1 of this Chapter apply and which are engaged on regular service within the limits of a short international voyage as defined in Regulation 2 of Chapter III, the Administration may permit a double bottom to be dispensed with in any part of the ship which is subdivided by a factor not exceeding -50, if satisfied that the fitting of a double bottom in that part would not be compatible with the design and proper working of the ship. * « : Ch. 2 C34 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA Regulation 11 Assigning, Marking and Recording of Subdivision Loadlines (a) In order that the required degree of subdivision shall be maintained, loadline corresponding to the approved subdivision draught shall be assigne and marked on the ship’s sides. A ship having spaces which are special adapted for the acommodation of passengers and the carriage of alternatively may, if the owners desire, have one or more additional loadli assigned and marked to correspond with the subdivision draughts which the Administration may approve for the alternative service conditions. (5) The subdivision loadlines assigned and marked shall be recorded in the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate, and shall be distinguished by the notation C.1 for the principal passenger condition, and C.2, C.3, &c., for the alternative conditions. (c) The freeboard corresponding to each of these loadlines shall be measured at the same position and from the same deck line as the freeboards determined in accordance with the International Convention respecting Load Lines in force. (d) The freeboard corresponding to each approved subdivision loadline and the conditions of service for which it is approved, shall be clearly indicated © on the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate. (e) In no case shall any subdivision loadline mark be placed above the deepest loadline in salt water as determined by the strength of the ship and/c the International Convention respecting Load Lines in force. (f) Whatever may be the position of the subdivision loadline marks, ship shall in no case be loaded so as to submerge the loadline mark appro priate to the season and locality as determined in accordance with th International Convention respecting Load Lines in force. (g) A ship shall in no case be so loaded that when she is in salt wa or the subdivision loadline mark appropriate to the particular voyage and condition of service is submerged. 4 Regulation 12 ° Construction and Initial Testing of Watertight Bulkheads, &c. (a) Each watertight subdivision bulkhead, whether transverse or longi- tudinal, shall be constructed in such a manner that it shall be capable of supporting, with a proper margin of resistance, the pressure due to the maximum head of water which it might have to sustain in the event Of damage to the ship but at least the pressure due to a head of water up t the margin line. The construction of these bulkheads shall be to the satis faction of the Administration. Ch. 2 Ex. Doc.

When testing by filling with water is not carried out, a hose test is compulsory; this test shall be carried out in the most advanced stage of the fitting out of the ship. In any case, a thorough inspection of the water- tight bulkheads shall be carried out. _ (d) The forepeak, double bottoms (including duct keels) and inner skins shall be tested with water to a head eine to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this Regulation. (e) Tanks which are intended to hold liquids, and which form part of the subdivision of the ship, shall be tested for tightness with water to a head ip to the deepest subdivision loadline or to a head corresponding to two- thirds of the depth from the top of keel to the margin line in way of the tanks, whichever is the greater; provided that in no case shall the test head be less than 3 feet (or 0: 92 metres) above the top of the tank. (f) The tests referred to in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Regulation are for the purpose of ensuring that the subdivision structural arrangements are watertight and are not to be regarded as a test of the fitness of any compart- ment for the storage of oil fuel or for other special purposes for which a test of a superior character may be required depending on the height to which the liquid has access in the tank or its connections. Regulation 13 Openings in Watertight Bulkheads (a) The number of openings in watertight bulkheads shall be reduced to the minimum compatible with the design and proper working of the ship; Satisfactory means shall be provided for closing these openings.

(ii) Valves and cocks not forming part of a piping system shall not permitted in watertight subdivision bulkheads. 5 (uli) Lead or other heat sensitive materials shall not be used in systems which penetrate watertight subdivision bulkheads, where deterioration of such stems in the event of fire would impair the watertight integrity of the bulkheads. é Chie. 2 . C36 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (c) (i) No doors, manholes, or access openings are permitted : — (1) in the collision bulkhead below the margin line; (2) in watertight transverse bulkheads dividing a cargo space frot an adjoining cargo space or from a permanent or reserve bunker, except as provided in paragraph (J) of thi Regulation. (ii) Except as provided in sub-paragraph (iii) of this paragraph, collision bulkhead may be pierced below the margin line by not more than one pipe for dealing with fluid in the forepeak tank, provided that the pipe is fitted with a screwdown valve capable of being operated from above the bulkhead deck, the valve chest being secured inside the forepeak to collision bulkhead. . (iii) If the forepeak is divided to hold two different kinds of liquids the Administration may allow the collision bulkhead to be pierced below the margin line by two pipes, each of which is fitted as required by sub- paragraph (ii) of this paragraph, provided the Administration is satisfied that there is no practical alternative to the fitting of such a second pipe and that, having regard to the ,additional subdivision provided in the forepeak, the: safety of the ship is maintained. (d) (i) Watertight doors fitted in bulkheads between permanent and reserve bunkers shall be always accessible, except as provided in sub- paragraph (ii) of paragraph (k) of this Regulation for between deck bunker: doors. (ii) Satisfactory arrangements shall be made by means of screens or otherwise to prevent the coal from interfering with the closing of watertight bunker doors. (e) Within spaces containing the main and auxiliary propelling machinery including boilers serving the needs of propulsion and all permanent bunkers, not more than one door apart from the doors to bunkers and shaft tunnels. may be fitted in each main transverse bulkhead. Where two or more shafts are fitted the tunnels shall be connected by an inter-communicating passage. There shall be only one door between the machinery space and the tunnel spaces where two shafts are fitted and only two doors where there are more than two shafts. All these doors shall be of the sliding type and shall be located so as to have their sills as high as practicable. The hand gear for operating these doors from above the bulkhead deck shall be situated outside the spaces containing the machinery if this is consistent with _a satisfactory arrangement of the necessary gearing. (f) @) Watertight doors shall be sliding doors or hinged doors or doors of an equivalent type. Plate doors secured only by bolts and doors required to be closed by dropping or by the action of a dropping weight are not permitted. <* Ch. 2 ae sO Men SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C37 (ii) Sliding doors may be either : — hand operated only, or power operated as well as hand operated.

Departures from the requirement of operation on both sides may be allowed, if this Tequirement is impossible owing to the layout of the spaces. When operating a hand gear the time necessary for the complete closure of the door with the vessel upright, shall not exceed 90 seconds. (i) (i) Power operated sliding doors (Class 3) may have a vertical or horizontal motion. If a door is required to be power operated from a central control, the gearing shall be so arranged that the door can be operated by power also at the door itself from both sides. The arrangement shall be such ‘that the door will close automatically if opened by local control after being closed from the central control, and also such that any door can be kept closed by local systems which will prevent the door from being opened from the upper control. Local control handles in connection with the power gear shall be provided each side of the bulkhead and shall be so arranged as to enable persons passing through the doorway to hold both handles in the open position without being able to set the closing mechanism in operation accidentally. Power operated sliding doors shall be provided with hand gear workable at the door itself on either side and from an accessible position ; Ch. 2 4 C38 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA above the bulkhead deck, with an all round crank motion or some oth movement providing the same guarantee of safety and of an approved tyy Provision shall be made to give warnings by sound signal that the door h begun to close and will continue to move until it is completely closed.

Regulation 5 Construction of Lifeboats (a) All lifeboats shall be properly constructed and shall be of such form and proportions that they shall have ample stability in a seaway, and sufficient freeboard when loaded with their full complement of persons and equipment. All lifeboats shall be capable of maintaining positive stability when open to the sea and loaded with their full complement of persons and equipment. (b) (i) All lifeboats shall have rigid sides and internal buoyancy only. The Administration may approve lifeboats with a rigid shelter, provided that it may be readily opened from both inside and outside, and does not impede rapid embarkation and disembarkation or the launching and handling of the lifeboat. : (ii) Motor lifeboats may be fitted to the satisfaction of the Administra- tion with means for preventing the entry of water at the fore end. (iii) All lifeboats shall be not less than 24 feet (or 7-3 metres) in length except where owing to the size of the ship, or for other reasons, the Administra- tion considers the carriage of such lifeboats unreasonable or impracticable. In no ship shall the lifeboats be less than 16 feet (or 4:9 metres) in length. Ch. 3 C96 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (c) No lifeboat may be approved the weight of which when fully lad with persons and equipment exceeds 20 tons (or 20,300 kilogrammes) or whi has a carrying capacity calculated in accordance with Regulation 7 of t Chapter of more than 150 persons. q (d) All lifeboats permitted to carry more than 60 persons but not m«¢ than 100 persons shall be either motor lifeboats complying with the requir ments of Regulation 9 of this Chapter or be lifeboats fitted with an approv means of mechanical propulsion complying with Regulation 10 of this Chapte All lifeboats permitted to carry more than 100 persons shall be motor lifeboat complying with the requirements of Regulation 9 of this Chapter. (e) All lifeboats shall be of sufficient strength to enable them to be safely lowered into the water when loaded with their full complement of persons an¢ equipment. All lifeboats shall be of such strength that they will not suffer residual! deflection if subjected to an overload of 25 per cent. (f) All lifeboats shall have a mean sheer at least equal to 4 per cent. of their length. The sheer shall be approximately parabolic in form. q (2) In lifeboats permitted to carry 100 or more persons the volume of the” buoyancy shall be increased to the satisfaction of the Administration. (A) All lifeboats shall have inherent buoyancy, or shall be fitted wifl watertight air cases or other equivalent non-corrodible buoyant material whic shall not be adversely affected by oil or oil products, sufficient to float the boa and its equipment when the boat is flooded and open to the sea. An additioné volume of watertight air cases or other equivalent non-corrodible buoyar material, which shall not be adversely affected by oil or oil products, equé to at least one-tenth of the cubic capacity of the boat shall also be providec The Administration may permit the watertight air cases to be filled with non-corrodible buoyant material which shall not be adversely affected b oil or oil products. (i) All thwarts and side-seats shall be fitted as low in the lifeboat a practicable. (j) The block coefficient of the cubic capacity as determined in accordance with Regulation 6 of this Chapter of all lifeboats, except wooden lifeboat made of planks. shall be not less than 0°64. Regulation 6 Cubic Capacity of Lifeboats (a) The cubic capacity of a lifeboat shall be determined by Stirling's (Simpson’s) Rule or by any other method giving the same degree of accuracy. The capacity of a square-sterned lifeboat shall be calculated as if the lifeboa' had a pointed stern. Ch. 3 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C97 _ (b) For example, the capacity in cubic feet (or cubic metres) of a lifeboat, alculated by the aid of Stirling’s Rule, may be considered as given by the ollowing formula : — Capacity= os (44 +2B+4C) L being the length of the lifeboat in feet (or metres) from the inside of the planking or plating at the stem to the corresponding point at the stern post: in the case of a lifeboat with a square stern, the length is measured to the side of the transom. A, B, C denote respectively the areas of the cross-sections at the quarter- length forward, amidships, and the quarter-length aft, which correspond to the three points obtained by dividing L into four equal parts. (The areas corre- sponding to the two ends of the lifeboat are considered negligible.) The areas A, B, C shall be deemed to be given in square feet (or square metres) by the successive application of the following formula to each of the three cross-sections— Area= —— 7 (at4b+2c0+4d+e) being the depth measured in feet (or in metres) inside the planking or plating from the keel to the level of the gunwale, or, in certain cases, to a lower level as determined hereafter. a, b, c, d, e denote the horizontal breadths of the lifeboat measured in feet (or in metres) at the upper and lower points of the depth and at the three points obtained by dividing h into four equal parts (a and e being the breadths at the extreme point, and c at the middle point of h). (c) If the sheer of the gunwale, measured at the two points situated at a quarter of the length of the lifeboat from the ends, exceeds 1 per cent. of the length of the lifeboat the depth employed in calculating the area of the cross- sections A or C shall be deemed to be the depth amidships plus 1 per cent. of the length of the lifeboat. (d) If the depth of the lifeboat amidships exceeds 45 per cent. of the breadth, the depth employed in calculating the area of the amidship cross- section B shall be deemed to be equal to 45 per cent. of the breadth, and the depth employed in calculating the areas of the quarter-length sections A and C is obtained by increasing this last figure by an amount equal to 1 per cent. of the length of the lifeboat, provided that in no case shall the depths employed in the calculation exceed the actual depths at these points. (e) If the depth of the lifeboat is greater than 4 feet (or 122 centimetres) the number of persons given by the application of this Rule shall be reduced in proportion to the ratio of 4 feet (or 122 centimetres) to the actual depth, until the lifeboat has been satisfactorily tested afloat with that number of persons on board, all wearing lifejackets. (f) The Administration shall impose, by suitable formulae, a limit for the number of persons allowed in lifeboats with very fine ends and in lifeboats very full in form. Ch. 3 763-778 O - 65 - 28 C98 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (zg) The Administration may assign to a lifeboat constructed of wood planks capacity equal to the product of the length, the breadth and the dey multiplied by 0-6 if it is evident that this formula does not give a grea capacity than that obtained by the above method. The dimensions shall th be measured in the following manner : — Length.—From the intersection of the outside of the planking wi the stem to the corresponding point at the stern post or, in the case of square-sterned boat, to the after side of the transom. Breadth—From the outside of the planking at the point where f breadth of the boat is greatest. Depth.—Amidships inside the planking from the keel to the level | the gunwale, but the depth used in calculating the cubic capacity may f in any case exceed 45 pet cent. of the breadth. In all cases the shipowner has the right to require that the cubic capaci of the lifeboat shall be determined by exact measurement. (h) The cubic capacity of a motor lifeboat or a lifeboat fitted with othe propelling gear shall be obtained from the gross capacity by deducting volume equal to that occupied by the motor and its accessories or the gearbo of the other propelling gear, and, when carried, the radiotelegraph installatic and searchlight with their accessories. Regulation 7 Carrying Capacity of Lifeboats The number of persons which a lifeboat shall be permitted accommodate shall be equal to the greatest whole number obtained t dividing the capacity in cubic feet by :— In the case of a lifeboat of 24 feet (or 7-3 metres) in length or over ae en et 10 (or where the capacity — measured in cubic metfe 0-283); in the case of lifeboats of 16 feet (or 4-9 metres) in length 14 (or where the capacity — measured in cubic’ metre 0-396); and in the case of lifeboats of 16 feet (or 4:9 metres) in length or over but under 24 feet (or 4:9 metres) ae a number between 14 and (or where the capacity measured in cubic’ mettfe between 0:396 and 0-283), be obtained by interpolation; Iix. Doc.

During the whole of the ice season the south-eastern, southern and south- western limits of the regions of icebergs in the vicinity of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland shall be guarded for the purpose of informing passing ships of the extent of this dangerous region; for the study of ice conditions in general; and for the purpose of affording assistance to ships and crews requiring aid within the limits of operation of the patrol ships. During the rest of the year the study and observation of ice conditions shall be maintained as advisable. (6b) Ships and aircraft used for the ice patrol service and the study and observation of ice conditions may be assigned other duties by the managing Government, provided that such other duties do not interfere with their primary purpose or increase the cost of this service. Regulation 6 Ice Patrol. Management and Cost (a) The Government of the United States of America agrees to continue the management of the ice patrol service and the study and observation of ice conditions, including the dissemination of information received therefrom. The Contracting Governments specially interested in these services undertake to contribute to the expense of maintaining and operating these services; each contribution to be based upon the total gross tonnage of the vessels of each contributing Government passing through the regions of icebergs guarded by the Ice Patrol; in particular, each Contracting Government specially interested undertakes to contribute annually to the expense of maintaining and operating these services a sum determined by the ratio which the total gross tonnage of that Contracting Government’s vessels passing during the ice season through the regions of icebergs guarded by the Ice Patrol bears to the combined total gross tonnage of the vessels of all contributing Governments passing during the ice season through the regions of icebergs guarded by the Ice Patrol. Non-contracting Governments specially interested may contribute to the expense of maintaining and operating these services on the same basis. The managing Government will furnish annually to each contributing Government Ch. 5 C150 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA a statement of the total cost of maintaining and operating the Ice Pa ol and of the proportionate share of each contributing Government. (b) Each of the contributing Governments has the right to alter of discontinue its contribution, and other interested Governments may undertake to contribute to the expense. The contributing Government which avails itself of this right will continue responsible for its current contribution up to the 1 September following the date of giving notice of intention to alter or discontinue its contribution. To take advantage of the said right it must give” notice to the managing Government at least six months before the said J September. a _ (c) If, at any time, the United States Government should desire to” discontinue these services, or if one of the contributing Governments should express a wish to relinquish responsibility for its pecuniary contribution, or to — have its contribution altered, or another Contracting Government should desire — to undertake to contribute to the expense, the contributing Governments shall settle the question in accordance with their mutual interests. (d) The contributing Governments shall have the right by common consent to make from time to time such alterations in the provisions of this — Regulation and of Regulation 5 of this Chapter as appear désirable. (e) Where this Regulation provides that a measure may be taken after agreement among the contributing Governments, proposals made by any Contracting Government for effecting such a measure shall be communicated to the managing Government which shall approach the other contributing - Governments with a view to ascertaining whether they accept such proposals, and the results of the enquiries thus made shall be sent to the other contributing Governments and the Contracting Government making the proposals. I particular, the arrangements relating to contributions to the cost of the services’ shall be reviewed by the contributing Governments at intervals not exceeding three years. The managing Government shall initiate the action necessary to this end. Regulation 7 Speed Near Ice When ice is reported on or near his course the master of every ship at night is bound to proceed at a moderate speed or to alter his course so as to go well clear of the danger zone. Regulation 8 North Atlantic Routes _ (a) The practice of following recognised routes across the North Atlantic in both directions and, in particular, routes in converging areas of both sides’ of the North Atlantic, has contributed to the avoidance of collisions between — ships and with icebergs, and should be recommended to all ships concerned. Ch. 5 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C151 (b) The selection of the routes and the initiation of action with regard to them, and the delineation of what constitutes converging areas, is left to the responsibility of the shipping companies concerned. The Contracting Governments will assist the companies, when requested to do so, by placing at their disposal any information bearing on the routes which may be in the possession of the Governments. (c) The Contracting Governments undertake to impose on the companies the obligations to give public notice of the regular routes which they propose _ their ships should follow, and of any changes made in these routes. They will also use their influence to induce the owners of all passenger ships _ crossing the Atlantic to follow the recognised routes, and will do everything - in their power to ensure adherence to such routes in the converging areas _ by all ships, so far as circumstances will permit. They will also induce the owners of all ships crossing the Atlantic bound to or from ports of the _ United States or Canada via the vicinity of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland - to avoid, as far as practicable. the fishing banks of Newfoundland north of _ latitude 43°N. during the fishing season, and to pass outside regions known _ or believed to be endangered by ice. (d) The Government managing the ice patrol service is requested to report to the Administration concerned any passenger ship which is observed not to be on any regular, recognised or advertised route and any ship which crosses the above mentioned fishing banks during the fishing season, or which when proceeding to or from ports of the United States or Canada passes through regions known or believed to be endangered by ice. Regulation 9 Misuse of Distress Signals The use of an international distress signal, except for the purpose of indicating that a ship or aircraft is in distress, and the use of any signal which may be confused with an international distress signal, are prohibited on every ship or aircraft. Regulation 10 Distress Messages—Obligations and Procedures (a) The master of a ship at sea, on receiving a signal from any source that a ship or aircraft or survival craft thereof is in distress, is bound to proceed with all speed to the assistance of the persons in distress informing them if possible that he is doing so. If he is unable or, in the special circumstances jof the case, considers it unreasonable or unnecessary to proceed to their assistance, he must enter in the logbook the reason for failing to proceed to _ the assistance of the persons in distress. Ch. 5 Gia2 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (b) The master of a ship in distress, after consultation, so far as ma hk possible, with the masters of the ships which answer his call for assistan¢ has the right to requisition such one or more of those ships as he conside best able to render assistance, and it shall be the duty of the master : masters of the ship or ships requisitioned to comply with the requisition t ‘oll continuing to proceed with all speed to the assistance of persons in distres (c) The master of a ship shall be released from the obligation impos by paragraph (a) of this Regulation when he learns that one or more shi other than his own have been requisitioned and are complying with thi requisition. q (d) The master of a ship shall be released from the obligation imposed bj paragraph (a) of this Regulation, and, if his ship has been requisitioned from the obligation imposed by paragraph (b) of this Regulation, if he i informed by the persons in distress or by the master of another ship whicl has reached such persons that assistance is no longer necessary. (e) The provisions of this Regulation do not prejudice the International Convention for the unification of certain rules with regard to Assistance and Salvage at Sea, signed at Brussels on the 23rd September, 1910. particularly the obligation to render assistance imposed by Article 11 of tha Convention. Regulation 11 Signalling Lamps | : All ships of over 150 tons gross tonnage, when engaged on international voyages, shall have on board an efficient daylight signalling lamp which shall not be solely dependent upon the ship’s main source of electrical power. Regulation 12 Radio Direction-Finding Apparatus (a) All ships of 1.600 tons gross tonnage and upwards, when engaged on international voyages, shall be fitted with radio direction-finding apparatus complying with the provisions of Regulation 11 of Chapter IV. (b) The Administration may, in areas where it considers it unreasonable or unnecessary for such apparatus to be carried, exempt any ship under 5,000 tons gross tonnage from this requirement, due regard being had to the fact that radio direction-finding apparatus is of value both as a naviga- tional instrument and as an aid to locating ships, aircraft or survival craft. Regulation 13 Manning The Contracting Governments undertake, each for its national ships, to maintain, or, if it is necessary, to adopt, measures for the purpose of — ensuring that, from the point of view of safety of life at sea, all ships shall be sufficiently and efficiently manned. | Ch. 5 SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA C153 Regulation 14 Aids to Navigation The Contracting Governments undertake to arrange for the establishment and maintenance of such aids to navigation, including radio beacons and electronic aids as, in their opinion, the volume of traffic justifies and the degree of risk requires, and to arrange for information relating to these aids ‘to be made available to all concerned. . Regulation 15 Search and Rescue (a) Each Contracting Government undertakes to ensure that any necessary arrangements are made for coast watching and for the rescue of persons in distress at sea round its coasts. These arrangements should include the establishment, operation and maintenance of such maritime safety facilities as are deemed practicable and necessary having regard to the density of the seagoing traffic and the navigational dangers and should, so far as possible, afford adequate means of locating and rescuing such persons. (b) Each Contracting Government undertakes to make available informa- tion’ concerning its existing rescue facilities and the plans for changes therein, if any. Regulation 16 Life-Saving Signals The following signals shall be used by life-saving stations and maritime rescue units when communicating with ships or persons in distress and by ships or persons in distress when communicating with life-saving stations and maritime rescue units.
