3.1 Introduction

 This section of the Guidelines is intended to serve as a guide when decisions are made on the stowage and segregation of cargo transport units (CTUs) containing dangerous goods on containerships fitted with partially weathertight hatchway covers. For the purpose of the stowage and segregation of CTUs containing dangerous goods on containerships fitted with partially weathertight hatchway covers, the effect of clear gaps, as defined below, should be taken into consideration. The effects of other structures such as labyrinths are not considered, as no clear path exists into the hold.
