Regulation 3 - Special Rules concerning Subdivision

  (a) In ships 330 feet (or 100 metres) in length and upwards the watertight transverse bulkhead next abaft the forepeak bulkhead shall be located so that the s-value, as defined in Regulation 6(a), for a combination of the forepeak and adjacent compartment, calculated by formulae (VIII) and (IX) shall not be less than 1.0. However, in no case shall the distance between the forepeak bulkhead and the next bulkhead be less than the longitudinal extent of damage specified in Regulation 5(b)(i).

  (b) A watertight transverse bulkhead may be recessed provided that all parts of the recess lie inboard of vertical surfaces on both sides of the ship, situated at a distance of 0.2B 1 from the ship's side, and measured at right angles to the centreline at the level of the subdivision loadline. Any part of a recess which lies outside these limits shall be dealt with as a step, as provided in Regulation 5(b)(i).
