2 Ventilation in the Accommodation

 In accordance with standard operational procedures, ventilation should be closed down or shut down during loading and gas-freeing, all internal and external doors should be kept closed and passage through doors to open deck should be restricted to a minimum. Nevertheless, experience has shown that it has proven impossible to keep the measured vapour concentrations below acceptable levels. Some restricted ventilation will also have to be maintained in certain areas such as the galley and bathrooms.
