Document description:
These standards have been developed by the Board of Steamship Inspection, to consolidate in one document, the requirements of the many regulations and standards which are applicable to small passenger vessels.
Document excerpt:
"5.1.1 Vessels carrying more than 12 berthed passengers on any voyage, and vessels carrying more than 50 unberthed passengers on home-trade Class III or inland waters Class II voyages shall be so divided by transverse watertight bulkheads that with any one main compartment flooded, the margin line will not be submerged.
5.1.2 Vessels carrying not more than 12 berthed passengers or not more than 100 unberthed passengers on home-trade Class IV, minor waters Class I or II voyages, or not more than 50 unberthed passengers on home-trade Class III or inland waters Class II voyages shall be so constructed that with any one main compartment flooded, the margin line will not be submerged.
5.1.3 To provide the required buoyancy, vessels subject to subsection 5.1.2 may be fitted with a suitable closed-cell buoyant material, or subdivided into watertight compartments."
