4 Illustrations of segregation of cargo transport units on board ro-ro ships

  4.1 The illustrations of this section apply to the segregation of cargo transport units which are transported on board roll-on/roll-off ships or in roll-on/roll-of cargo spaces^footnote.

  4.2 To determine locations in which cargo transport units are not permitted to contain dangerous goods that are incompatible with those in a reference cargo transport unit, the following method applies: locations where incompatible dangerous goods are not permitted with respect to the referenced cargo transport unit are first determined in the direct fore and aft and athwartships directions. The relevant segregation distances to be considered in both directions are defined in metres as shown in the figure. Cargo transport units located partially or completely within these distances from the reference cargo transport unit shall not contain dangerous goods that are incompatible with those in the reference cargo transport unit.

  4.3 The standard dimension of a cargo transport unit used for the illustrations is:

  4.4 Explanation of the segregation terms

 All bulkheads and decks shall be resistant to fire and liquid.

Note 2:

When an illustration has more than one reference cargo transport units, only one should be used when interpreting the illustration. When an illustration contains several reference cargo transport units, they have to be considered as different examples.
