 The drainage facilities on ro-ro passenger ships should be functionally tested before the ship enters service to verify that the capacity of the system is adequate. The drainage facilities on all ships should be periodically visually examined for blockage or other damage and should be flushed with fire hoses or similar means to verify that the system is functional, if obstructions are noted.
