Sec. 69.59  Enclosed spaces.

    Enclosed space means a space which is bounded by the vessel's hull, 
by fixed or portable partitions or bulkheads, or by decks or coverings 
other than permanent or movable awnings. No break in a deck, nor any 
opening in the vessel's hull, in a deck or in a covering of a space, or 
in the partitions or bulkheads of a space, nor the absence of a 
partition or bulkhead precludes the space from being included in the 
enclosed space.
