8 Calculation of the mean outflow parameter

  8.1 A collision to grounding ratio of 40%:60% is assumed for the purposes of combining the side and bottom damage outflow values into a single overall mean outflow. This is consistent with the assumption in the Revised Interim Guidelines. The mean outflow parameter OM is calculated by dividing the combined side and bottom damage mean outflow by the total cargo volume C. For the purposes of this regulation as well as the Revised Interim Guidelines, 98% filling is assumed for all oil tanks within the cargo block length.
