Sec. 176.70  Stowage requirements for marine pollutants.



    (a) Marine pollutants must be properly stowed and secured to 

minimize the hazards to the marine environment without impairing the 

safety of the ship and the persons on board.

    (b) Where stowage is permitted ``on deck or under deck'', under deck 

stowage is preferred except when a weather deck provides equivalent 

protection.

    (c) Where stowage ``on deck only'' is required, preference should be 

given to stowage on well-protected decks or to stowage inboard in 

sheltered areas of exposed decks.
