11.1.1 This section deals with the standards for
both intact and damage stability.
11.1.2 An intact stability standard proposed for
assessment of a vessel type not covered by the standards defined in
the Code should be submitted to the Administration for approval at
the earliest opportunity.
11.1.3 If used, permanent ballast should be located
in accordance with a plan approved by the Administration and in a
manner that prevents shifting of position. Permanent ballast should
not be removed from the ship or relocated within the ship without
the approval of the Administration. Permanent ballast particulars
should be noted in the ship's stability booklet. Attention should
be paid to local or global hull strength requirements from the point
of view of the fitting of additional ballast.
