Regulation 11 



Assigning, Marking and Recording of Subdivision Loadlines 



(a) In order that the required degree of subdivision shall be maintained, a 

 loadline corresponding to the approved subdivision draught shall be assigned 

 and marked on the ship's sides. A ship having spaces which are specially 

 adapted for the acommodation of passengers and the carriage of cargo 

 alternatively may, if the owners desire, have one or more additional loadlines 

 assigned and marked to correspond with the subdivision draughts which the 

 Administration may approve for the alternative service conditions. 



(b) The subdivision loadlines assigned and marked shall be recorded in 

 the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate, and shall be distinguished by the notation 

 C.l for the principal passenger condition, and C.2, C.3, &c., for the alternative 

 conditions. 



(c) The freeboard corresponding to each of these loadlines shall be 

 measured at the same position and from the same deck line as the freeboards 

 determined in accordance with the International Convention respecting Load 

 Lines in force. 



(d) The freeboard corresponding to each approved subdivision loadline 

 and the conditions of service for which it is approved, shall be clearly indicated 

 on the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate. 



(e) In no case shall any subdivision loadline mark be placed above the 

 deepest loadline in salt water as determined by the strength of the ship and /or 

 the International Convention respecting Load Lines in force. 



(/) Whatever may be the position of the subdivision loadline marks, a 

 ship shall in no case be loaded so as to submerge the loadline mark appro- 

 priate to the season and locality as determined in accordance with the 

 International Convention respecting Load Lines in force. 



(g) A ship shall in no case be so loaded that when she is in salt water 

 the subdivision loadline mark appropriate to the particular voyage and 

 condition of service is submerged. 



Regulation 12 * 



Construction and Initial Testing of Watertight Bulkheads, &c. 



(a) Each watertight subdivision bulkhead, whether transverse or longi- 

 tudinal, shall be constructed in such a manner that it shall be capable of 

 supporting, with a proper margin of resistance, the pressure due to the 

 maximum head of water which it might have to sustain in the event of 

 damage to the ship but at least the pressure due to a head of water up to 

 the margin line. The construction of these bulkheads shall be to the satis- 

 faction of the Administration.
