3 Additional measurements where the longitudinal strength is deficient in respect of Annex B to resolution A.744(18), as amended

  3.1 Where one or more of the transverse sections are found to be deficient in respect of the longitudinal strength requirements given in annex 12 to Annex B to resolution A.744(18), as amended, the number of transverse sections for thickness measurement should be increased such that each tank within the 0.5L amidships region has been sampled. Tank spaces that are partially within, but extend beyond the 0.5L region, should be sampled.

  3.2 Additional thickness measurements should also be performed on one transverse section forward and one aft of each repaired area to the extent necessary to ensure that the areas bordering the repaired section also comply with the requirements of Annex B to resolution A.744(18), as amended.
