Guideline

 In order to insure that a saucer or bundle is adequately anchored against movement, stowage of the saucer/bundle tightly against adjacent structure should be interpreted to mean having a bearing contact with such structure to a depth equal to or greater than one half the depth specified for the depth to the bottom of the saucer. If hull structure to provide such bearing surface is not available, the saucer/bundle should be fixed in position by steel wire rope, chain, or double steel strapping as specified by part C, section II(A)(a)(iv), spaced not more than 2.4 m apart.
