5.4 Correct use of the ventilation system

 When examining the ventilation in a ro-ro cargo space, options that are available should be borne in mind. It is by no means certain that the greatest effect will be achieved with all the fans operating at maximum speed at the same time or with all doors, hatches and the like open. This may have the opposite effect. In some circumstances, when the wind direction and strength are favourable, the opening of suitable doors may provide effective natural ventilation.
