1 If adjacent spaces are not separated from cargo
spaces by gastight bulkheads or decks, then they should be considered
as part of the enclosed cargo space and the ventilation requirements
should apply to the adjacent space as for the enclosed cargo space
itself.
2 Where the IMSBC Code requires:
-
.1 two (2) fans per hold, a common ventilation
system with 2 fans connected is acceptable; and
-
.2 continuous ventilation, this does not prohibit
ventilators from being fitted with a means of closure as required
for fire protection purposes under SOLAS regulation II-2/5.2.1.1, provided the minimum height to the
ventilator opening is to be in accordance with regulation 19.3 of the 1966 International Convention on Load
Lines (4.5 m for position 1 and 2.3 m for position 2).
