1 Application and definitions

 For the purpose of SOLAS regulation XII/14, these requirements apply to the side shell frames and brackets of cargo holds in single-side skin bulk carriers, which were not built in accordance with annex 1, but shall achieve an equivalent level of safety for not being subject to restrictions when sailing with any hold empty.

These requirements define steel renewal criteria or other measures to be taken for the webs and flanges of side shell frames and brackets as per paragraph 2.

Reinforcing measures of side frames are also defined as per paragraph 2.3.

Finite element or other numerical analysis or direct calculation procedures cannot be used as an alternative to compliance with the requirements of this annex, except in cases of unusual side structure arrangements or framing to which the requirements of this annex cannot be directly applied.

Assessment of compliance with these requirements is to be carried out by the date on which the ship reaches 10 years of age and at each subsequent intermediate and renewal survey.
