7 Regulation 23.7.3.2

  7.1 It is recognized that in actual damage scenarios, where the cargo density exceeds the seawater density, all or most of the cargo may be lost in the event of bottom damage. However, for the purposes of these calculations, even in cases where the nominal cargo oil density as calculated in paragraph 4.4 exceeds the density of seawater, the cargo level and remaining oil after damage should still be calculated based on hydrostatic pressure balance in accordance with paragraph 7.3.2.
