4 Airlocks

 Airlocks should be provided to allow crew members to pass from contaminated areas (such as the engine-room and open deck) to the accommodation through a double set of doors where one must be closed before the next can be opened. The space between these doors should be supplied with filtered air with a slight overpressure. One airlock between the open deck and accommodation and one between the engine-room and accommodation is considered acceptable.
