Regulation II–1/3–6 — Access to and within spaces in, and forward of, the cargo area of oil tankers and bulk carriers

 Permanent means of access contained in table 1 of the Technical provisions for means of access for inspections (resolution MSC.158(78)) should not apply to tankers converting from single-hull to double-hull. However, if, in the course of conversion, substantial new structures are added, these new structures should comply with the regulation. The term “substantial new structures” means hull structures that are entirely renewed or augmented by new double bottom and/or double side construction (e.g., replacing the entire structure within cargo area or adding a new double bottom and/or double side section to the existing cargo area).
