5 Assumed volumetric heeling moment of a partly filled compartment

  5.1 When the free surface of the bulk grain has not been secured in accordance with A 16, A 17 or A 18, it shall be assumed that the grain surface after shifting is at 25° to the horizontal.

  5.2 In a partly filled compartment, a division, if fitted, shall extend from one eighth of the maximum breadth of the compartment above the level of the grain surface and to the same distance below the grain surface.

  5.3 In a compartment in which the longitudinal divisions are not continuous between the transverse boundaries, the length over which any such divisions are effective as devices to prevent full width shifts of grain surfaces shall be taken to be the actual length of the portion of the division under consideration less two sevenths of the greater of the transverse distances between the division and its adjacent division or ship's side. This correction does not apply in the lower compartments of any combination loading in which the upper compartment is either a filled compartment or a partly filled compartment.
