Ballast Water Management System Installations in Steering Gear Compartments
摘要
The steering gear compartment on vessels are, in general, not to be used for any other purpose other than for which they have been designed (i.e., accommodating the steering gear). To that end, steering gear compartments are expected to comply with the requirements of SOLAS II-1/29.13. They must normally be provided with access to the emergency fire pump, considering that in most cases the emergency fire pump is located in the steering gear room space; and normally form part of the emergency escape routes on vessels.
