navigation, accommodation and service spaces under simulated port

conditions and at normal service speed at no less than 80% of the maximum

continuous rating (MCR). Deviation from this normal service condition may be

permitted for ships with special propulsion and power configurations, such as

diesel-electric systems

All ships are to be provided with plans and procedures for recovery of persons

from the water. The plans and procedures (which do not need to be approved

by the Administration) are to identify the equipment intended to be used for

recovery purposes and measures to be taken to minimize the risk to shipboard

personnel involved in recovery operations. Ro-ro passenger ships which are

fitted with an approved marine evacuation system are not required to comply

with this regulation.Guidelines for the development of plans and procedures for

recovery of persons from the water are contained in MSC.1/Circ.1447

to-open due to forces from the hook load. If a hydrostatic interlock is provided,

it shall automatically reset upon lifting the boat from the water. Safety factors

for the hydrostatic interlock and operating cables are now specified. Prototype

correction. Two alternative methods for determining free surface corrections

(an actual correction using the free surface moments according to the

cargo pumps and piping system to circulate onboard two or more different

cargoes with the intent to achieve a cargo with a new product designation.
