Sleeping Accommodation

21.9.1 An appropriately sized bed (bunk or cot,) should be provided for every person on board, having a minimum inside dimension of either:

.1 not less than 190 centimetres by 70 centimetres, with no tapering, where the Administration is satisfied that that this is reasonable and will not result in discomfort to the seafarers; or

.2 not less than 198 centimetres in length and not less than 80 centimetres in width over half the length of the berth. A taper is permitted from half the length of the berth towards the foot of the berth but under no circumstances is the berth permitted to be narrower at any point than 50 centimetres.;

.3 where considered appropriate, means for preventing the occupants from falling out, should be provided.

There should be no direct access into sleeping rooms from spaces for machinery, galleys, paint rooms or from engine, deck, and other bulk storerooms, drying rooms, communal wash places or water closets.

21.9.2 In crew accommodation, wherever possible, the maximum number of persons per sleeping room is to be two and there should be unobstructed access to at least one side of each bed. Any increase in the maximum number of persons per sleeping room should be agreed with the Administration.
