4.1 The typical distribution of accelerations
of the ship should be borne in mind in deciding whether the receptacles
should be stowed on or under deck.
4.2 The receptacles should preferably be stowed
in the fore-and-aft direction on or under deck.
4.3 Receptacles should be dunnaged to prevent
their resting directly on a steel deck. They should be stowed and
chocked as necessary to prevent movement unless mounted in a frame
as a unit. Receptacles for liquefied gases should be stowed in an
upright position.
4.4 When the receptacles are stowed in an upright
position, they should be stowed in a block, cribbed or boxed in with
suitable and sound timber. The box or crib should be dunnaged underneath
to provide clearance from a steel deck. The receptacles in a box or
crib should be braced to prevent movement. The box or crib should
be securely chocked and lashed to prevent movement in any direction.
