21B.9 Mess Rooms

  21B.9.1 Mess rooms should be located apart from the sleeping rooms to avoid disturbing those persons sleeping and as close as practicable to the galley. Mess rooms should be of adequate comfort and properly furnished and equipped (including ongoing facilities for refreshment), taking account of the number of seafarers likely to use them at any one time. Mess rooms for seafarers who are officers and other seafarers may be separate or common, as appropriate.

  21B.9.2 Where the substantially equivalent arrangements in 21B.8.3 and 21B.8.4 are used, the floor area of mess rooms for seafarers should not be less than 1.5 square metres per person of the planned seating capacity.
