1 Storage tanks loading limits higher than calculated using the reference temperature
(paragraph 6.8.2)
The alternative loading limit option given under 6.8.2 is understood to be an alternative
to 6.8.1 and should only be applicable when the calculated loading limit using the
formulae in 6.8.1 gives a lower value than 95%.
2 Other rooms with high fire risk (paragraph 11.3.3)
The following "other rooms with high fire risk" should as a minimum be considered, but
not be restricted to:
-
.1 cargo spaces except cargo tanks for liquids with flashpoint above 60°C and
except cargo spaces exempted in accordance with SOLAS regulations II-2/10.7.1.2 or II-2/10.7.1.4;
-
.2 vehicle, ro-ro and special category spaces;
-
.3 service spaces (high risk): galleys, pantries containing cooking appliances,

spaces for the storage of flammable liquids and workshops other than those
forming part of the machinery space, as provided in SOLAS regulations II-2/9.2.2.4, II-2/9.2.3.3 and II-2/9.2.4; and

3 Level indicator in the bilge well of tank connection spaces of independent liquefied
gas storage tanks (paragraph 15.3.2)
The "level indicator" required by 15.3.2 of the IGF Code is understood to be required for the purposes of indicating an
alarm status only; a level switch (float switch) is an instrument example considered to
meet this requirement.
4 Testing of high level alarms (paragraph 15.4.2.3)
The expression "each dry-docking" refers to:
-
.1 for cargo ships, the survey of the outside of the ship's bottom required for
the renewal of the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate and/or the Cargo
Ship Safety Certificate; and
-
.2 for passenger ships, the survey of the outside of the ship's bottom to be
carried out according to paragraphs 5.10.1 and 5.10.2 of the Survey
Guidelines under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification, (HSSC),
2017 (resolution A.1121(30), as may be amended).
