(Enacted 1991) Cap 369U Sched 1 DESIGN AND OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES FOR WATERTIGHT DOORS [regulation 4(1)(a)] GENERAL COMMENT Most passenger ships are provided with internal watertight subdivision arrangements designed to withstand a specified volume of flooding in the event of the hull being breached. While the effectiveness of these arrangements is dependent upon a number of factors, it is essential to ensure that any watertight door in the divisional bulkheads is closed when breaching occurs, or almost immediately afterwards. It is also essential to limit the number of access openings placed in the divisional bulkheads and also to exercise the strictest control over the operation of the watertight doors provided to close such openings. |
