4.8 Bilge pumping arrangements

  4.8.1 Units should be provided with an efficient bilge pumping plant capable of pumping from and draining any watertight compartment under all practical conditions whether the unit is upright or listed. Wing suctions should be provided if necessary for that purpose. If the Administration is satisfied that the safety of the unit is not impaired, the bilge pumping arrangements may be dispensed with in particular compartments.

  4.8.2 Units should have at least two power pumps connected to the bilge main.
