Interpretation Location of the bulkhead separating cargo pump-room and cargo compressor rooms from accommodation and service spaces, etc. (Paragraphs 3.3.1.2 and 3.3.1.3)

When cargo pump-room and compressor rooms are permitted to be fitted at the after end of the aftermost hold space the bulkhead which separates the cargo pump-rooms and compressor rooms from accommodation and service spaces, control stations and machinery spaces of category A should be so located as to avoid the entry of gas to these spaces through a single failure of a deck or bulkhead. The same conditions should also be satisfied when cargo pump-rooms and compressor rooms fitted within the cargo area, have a bulkhead in common with accommodation and service spaces, control stations and machinery spaces of category A.
