6.1
The standards for water freeing arrangements should comply with ICLL as far as it is reasonable and practicable to do so.
In any case the intention should be to achieve a standard of safety which is at least equivalent to the standard of ICLL.
Additionally, where a well is created on each side of the vessel between a superstructure or deckhouse, and the bulwark in way of that superstructure or deck house, the following formula may be used to determine the required freeing port areas on each side of the vessel for the well concerned:
|
| FPREQ | = | Freeing port area required |
| Aw | = | Area of well in way of superstructure or deckhouse |
| B | = | Full beam at deck, |
On sailing vessels, where the solid bulwark height does not exceed 150mm, specific freeing ports, as defined above, are not required.
