🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS damage stability and watertight integrity requirements for doors and openings below the bulkhead deck • The role of the stability (or damage control) book in specifying which doors may be open in certain conditions • Difference between doors allowed open for occasional operations (e.g., loading/unloading) vs. those that may remain open while navigating

💭 Think About

• Which choice, if any, clearly ties the open/closed status of a door to a formal, approved document related to the ship’s stability or safety plan? • For each option, ask: would SOLAS likely permit this as a standing exception while underway, or only as a temporary condition in port or during special operations? • Consider whether the exception described would still allow the vessel to meet its damage stability criteria after flooding of one or more compartments.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which openings/doors are specifically regulated by SOLAS Chapter II-1 (Construction – Subdivision and Stability, Machinery and Electrical Installations) regarding watertight integrity. • Check whether SOLAS allows any door to remain open only if explicitly authorized in an approved stability booklet or similar official document. • Confirm that the exception must still preserve compliance with damage stability requirements for the ship’s service and loading condition.
