(6)     For oil tankers of 20,000 tons deadweight and above the damage assumptions prescribed in regulation 25(2)(b) shall be supplemented by the following assumed bottom raking damage:

  (a) longitudinal extent:

       (i) ships of 75,000 tons deadweight and above:

         0.6 L measured from the forward perpendicular

      (ii) ships of less than 75,000 tons deadweight:

         0.4 L measured from the forward perpendicular

  (b)     transverse extent: B/3 anywhere in the bottom

  (c)     vertical extent: breach of the outer hull.

(7) Oil tankers of less than 5,000 tons deadweight shall:

SCHEDULE—continued

    (a) at least be fitted with double bottom tanks or spaces having such a depth that the distance h specified in paragraph (3)(b) complies with the following:

     h = B/15 (m) with a minimum value of h = 0.76 m;

     in the turn of the bilge area and at locations without a clearly defined turn of the bilge, the cargo tank boundary line shall run parallel to the line of the mid-ship flat bottom as shown in figure 3; and

    (b) be provided with cargo tanks so arranged that the capacity of each cargo tank does not exceed 700 m3 unless wing tanks or spaces are arranged in accordance with paragraph (3)(a) complying with the following:

     with a minimum value of w = 0.76 m.

(8)     Oil shall not be carried in any space extending forward of a collision bulkhead located in accordance with regulation II—1/11 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended. An oil tanker that is not required to have a collision bulkhead in accordance with that regulation shall not carry oil in any space extending forward of the transverse plane perpendicular to the centreline that is located as if it were a collision bulkhead located in accordance with that regulation.

(9)     In approving the design and construction of oil tankers to be built in accordance with the provisions of this regulation, Administrations shall have due regard to the general safety aspects including the need for the maintenance and inspections of wing and double bottom tanks or spaces.
