3.3 Partially weathertight hatchway covers fitted with effective gutterbars

 Partially weathertight hatchway covers fitted with effective gutterbars can be regarded as "resistant to fire and liquid" for the purposes of stowage and segregation of CTUs containing dangerous goods on containerships fitted with such hatchway covers. Therefore, no special provision, other than those set out in paragraph 3.4, applies to the stowage and segregation of CTUs containing dangerous goods on or under the hatchway covers fitted with effective gutterbars. Gutterbars showing any visible structural damage, which would reduce their effectiveness, do not meet the definition in paragraph 3.2.2.
