For the purposes of this section:
1 When calculating the vertical centre-of-gravity,
passengers assumed to be occupying seats should be taken as seated,
with all others standing.
2 On the decks where assembly stations are located,
the number of passengers on each should be that which generates the
maximum heeling moment. Any remaining passengers should be assumed
to occupy decks adjacent to those on which the assembly stations are
located, and positioned such that the combination of number on each
deck and total heeling moment generate the maximum static heel angle.
3 Passengers should not be assumed to gain access
to the weather deck nor be assumed to crowd abnormally towards either
end of the craft unless this is a necessary part of the planned evacuation
procedure.
4 Where there are seats in areas occupied by passengers,
one passenger per seat should be assumed, passengers being assigned
to the remaining free areas of deck (including stairways if appropriate)
at the rate of four per square metre.
