5 Stowage

  5.1 The typical distribution of accelerations of the ship should be borne in mind in deciding whether the portable tank will be stowed on or under deck.

  5.2 Tanks should be stowed in the fore-and-aft direction on or under deck.

  5.3 Tanks should be stowed so that they do not extend over the ship's side.

  5.4 Tanks should be stowed so as to permit safe access for personnel in the necessary operation of the ship.

  5.5 At no time should the tanks overstress the deck or hatches; the hatch covers should be so secured to the ship that tipping of the entire hatch cover is prevented.
