6.1 General
6.1.1 Hull scantlings are to be checked according to the
applicable requirements of Part B, Chapter 7 or Part B,
Chapter 8, as applicable, for the following two situations:
• navigation situation, considering the draught T
• dredging situation, considering the dredging draught TD.

longitudinal bulkheads of the hopper space are connected,
is to be not less than the greater of the following thick-
nesses:
• bottom plating thickness increased by 15%
• keel thickness.
