Fishing Vessel Safety Regulations
Version of the schedule from 2006-03-22 to 2017-07-12:
SCHEDULE III(s. 24)
Watertight bulkheads shall consist of two layers of plank fitted at right angles to each other and diagonally to the centre line of the ship. The layers shall be not less in thickness than that set out in the table. The bulkheads shall be efficiently stiffened and connected. To ensure watertightness felt or canvas shall be fitted between the two layers of planking.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any form of construction that, in the opinion of the inspector, gives equivalent strength and watertightness may also be accepted.
