Reg XII/5: Structural Strength of Bulk Carriers
All
new single side skin bulk carriers (of 150 m length or above, which
are designed to carry solid bulk cargoes having a density >1.0
ton/cubic meter, constructed on/after 1 July 1999) are required
to have sufficient strength to withstand the flooding of any one
cargo hold taking dynamic effects into account.
This
regulation indicates, by footnote to a Conference Resolution, that
compliance with IACS Unified Requirements S17, S18 and S20 for assessing
longitudinal strength, vertically corrugated transverse watertight
bulkheads, and double bottoms of new bulk carriers, in all loading
conditions with any one cargo hold assumed flooded, will fulfill
this regulation.
