Performance Requirements

  3 The required minimum protection against accidental oil outflow is governed by regulation 13G(4), which stipulates that tankers to which regulation 13G applies shall have wing tanks or double-bottom spaces, not used for the carriage of oil and meeting the width and height requirements of regulation 13E(4), covering at least 30% of Lt for the full depth of the ship on each side or at least 30% of the projected bottom shell area within the length Lt, where Lt is as defined in regulation 13E(2). Equivalent structural or operational arrangements, as permitted by regulation 13G(7), should ensure at least the same degree of protection against oil pollution in the event of collision or stranding. The equivalency should be determined by calculations in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 below.
