of a cattle pen or stall must be of substantially the same method of construction and of substantially the same scantlings as required for the fore and aft boundaries.
       (4)Any two-thirds of the area of the floor of a cattle pen must be able to withstand 100% of the floor load uniformly distributed over the area.
       (5)The floor load is determined according to Formula 4:
Formula 4
F =
where:
F is the floor load, in newtons per square metre
d is the draught of the vessel corresponding to the anticipated lightest loaded water-line, in metres
L is the length between the perpendiculars of the vessel, in metres
y is the longitudinal distance from the midpoint of the pen to amidships, in metres

Note   The approved stability booklet for the vessel contains the information for the load calculation.
       (6)The floor of a cattle stall must be of substantially the same method of construction and of substantially the same scantlings as required for a cattle pen.
       (7)Subsections (1) to (4) apply to the floor support of a cattle pen whether or not it also forms the top boundary of a pen on a lower deck.
       (8)For a cattle pen structure above the uppermost continuous deck, instead of compliance with subsections (1) to (5), AMSA may approve calculations that show that the rails and stanchions of the pens, the pen floors and the floor supports can withstand appropriate design forces, according to the criteria specified by the vessel's classification society for the design of the vessel structure.
       (9)The stresses for materials used in the construction of boundaries and floors of a pen must not exceed the figures in Table 5 when the materials are under the loads determined in accordance with subsections (1) and (5).

64 Cattle — arrangement of pens, stalls and passageways
       (1)There must be a passageway and a means of access to pens for the care and removal of cattle.
       (2)There must be a means of access at the rear of each stall.
Subdivision 11.3 Horses

65 Horses — arrangements for carriage
       (1)A horse on a vessel must be in a separate stall.
       (2)However, a horse may be carried in a pen if:
(a) the pen complies with subsection 62(1); and
(b) hospital pens are provided in accordance with section 75, as if that provision applied to horses; and
(c) the design and arrangement of the pen is approved, before loading, by a veterinary officer authorised by the Department of Agriculture.

66 Horses — design of stalls and passageways
       (1)The dimensions of a stall for horses and adjacent passageways must comply with Table 7.
