1. External bulkheads of sleeping rooms and mess rooms should be adequately insulated. All
machinery casings and all boundary bulkheads of galleys and other spaces in which heat is

2. Sleeping rooms, mess rooms, recreation rooms and alleyways in the accommodation space
should be adequately insulated to prevent condensation or overheating.
3. The bulkhead surfaces and deckheads should be of material with a surface easily kept
clean. No form of construction likely to harbour vermin should be used.
4. The bulkhead surfaces and deckheads in sleeping rooms and mess rooms should be
capable of being easily kept clean and light in colour with a durable, nontoxic finish.
5. The decks in all seafarer accommodation should be of approved material and construction
and should provide a non-slip surface impervious to damp and easily kept clean.
