1 Alternative methods of calculation and presentation of ship survival capability:

  .1 The parcel tanker will require a complete analysis of the limiting survival characteristics over the full range of intended loading conditions (as detailed in 2);

  .2 The dedicated service tanker will require approval of calculations based on service conditions proposed by the builder or owner, in which case the certificate of fitness should be endorsed in respect of the conditions accepted;

  .3 The inherently safe ship is one that will meet survival requirements with the ship assumed to be at a maximum draught and trim with all compartments within the extent of damage assumed to be empty with maximum vertical centre of gravity (adjusted for free liquids).
