Sec. 171.095  Machinery space bulkhead.

    (a) This section applies to each vessel of 100 gross tons or more.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, a vessel 
required to have Type I or II subdivision must have enough main 
transverse watertight bulkheads to separate the machinery space from the 
remainder of the vessel. All portions of these bulkheads must be 
watertight below the bulkhead deck.
    (c) Compliance with paragraph (b) of this section is not required if 
the vessel has sufficient air tanks or other internal buoyancy to 
maintain the vessel afloat while in the full load condition when all 
compartments and all other tanks are flooded. If foam is used to comply 
with this paragraph, it must be installed in accordance with the 
requirements in Sec. 170.245 of this subchapter.
