One transverse web with associated plating and longitudinals in two representative water ballast tanks of each type. This is to include the foremost topside and double-side water ballast tanks on either side. (A)

Two selected cargo hold transverse bulkheads, including internal structure of upper and lower stools, where fitted. (C)

All cargo hold hatch covers and coaming. (D) 		One transverse web with associated plating and longitudinals as applicable in each water ballast tank. (A)

Forward and aft transverse bulkhead including stiffening system in a transverse section including topside, hopper side and double-side ballast tanks. (A)

25% of ordinary transverse frames in the foremost double-side tanks. (B)

One transverse bulkhead in each cargo hold, including internal structure of upper and lower stools, where fitted. (C)

All cargo hold hatch covers and coamings. (D)

All deck plating and under deck structures inside line of hatch openings between cargo hold hatches. (E) 		All transverse webs with associated plating and longitudinals as applicable in each water ballast tank. (A)

All transverse bulkheads including stiffening system in each water ballast tank. (A)

25% of ordinary transverse frames in the foremost double-side tanks. (B)

All cargo hold transverse bulkheads including internal structure of upper and lower stools, where fitted. (C)

All cargo hold hatch covers and coamings. (D)

All deck plating and under deck structures inside line of hatch openings between cargo hold hatches. (E) 		All transverse webs with associated plating and longitudinals as applicable in each water ballast tank. (A)

All transverse bulkheads including stiffening system in each water ballast tank. (A)

All ordinary transverse frames in all double-side tanks. (B)

Areas (C) – (E) as for column 3
(A) Transverse web or watertight transverse bulkhead in topside, hopper side and double-side ballast tanks. In fore and aft peak tanks transverse web means a complete transverse web frame ring including adjacent structural members.
(B) Ordinary transverse frame in double-side tanks.
(C) Cargo hold transverse bulkheads, platings, stiffeners and girders.
(D) Cargo hold hatch covers and coamings
(E) Deck plating and under deck structure inside line of hatch openings between cargo hold hatches.
Note: Close-up survey of transverse bulkheads to be carried out at four levels:
Level (a) Immediately above the inner bottom and immediately above the line of gussets (if fitted) and shedders for ships without lower stool.
Level (b) Immediately above and below the lower stool shelf plate (for those ships fitted with lower stools), and immediately above the line of the shedder plates.
Level (c) About mid-height of the bulkhead.
Level (d) Immediately below the upper deck plating and immediately adjacent to the upper wing tank, and immediately below the upper stool shelf plate for those ships fitted with upper stools, or immediately below the topside tanks.
