Guideline

 When bulk grain is loaded on top of closed, `tween-deck hatch covers which are not grain-tight, such covers shall be made grain-tight by taping the joints, covering the entire hatchway with tarpaulins or separation cloths, or other suitable means.

 It is recommended that an instruction to this effect be included in the grain loading booklets of ships to which this caution would apply.
