                    ana to the sea only. There should be no piping connections from segregated ballast tanks to the fresh
                   water system. No segregated ballast tanks should be used for the carriage of any cargo or for storage of
                   ship's stores or material.
               3 . In the International Tonnage Certificate ( 1969) under 'Remarks' an entry is made for the tonnage of
                   segregated ballast tanks in oil tankers as follows :
                   'The segregated ballast tanks comply with Regulation 13 of Annex I to the International Convention for
                   the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto, and
                   the total tonnage of such tanks exclusively used for the carriage of segregated water ballast is
                   The reduced gross tonnage which should be used for the calculation of tonnage based fees is . . . .'
               4. The tonnage of segregated ballast tanks mentioned above shall be calculated according to the following
                   formula :
                   Kt x Vb
                   where :
                   Kj = 0,2 4- 0,02 logio V (or as tabulated in Appendix 2 of the International Convention on Tonnage
                   Measurement of Ships, 1969);
                   V = the total volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship in cubic metres as defined in Regulation 3 of the
                   International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969 ;
