    Barges with sleeping accommodations for more than six persons and

guidance of the officer in charge of the vessel the following plans:

    (a) General arrangement plans showing for each deck the fire control 

stations, the various sections enclosed by fire-resisting bulkheads, 

together with particulars of the fire alarms, detecting systems, the 

sprinkler installation (if any), the fire extinguishing appliances, 

means of access to different compartments, decks, etc., and the 

ventilating systems including particulars of the master fan controls, 

the positions of dampers, the location of the remote means of stopping 

fans, and identification numbers of the ventilating fans serving each 

section. If cargo compartments are ``specially suitable for vehicles,'' 

they shall be so indicated on the plan. Alternatively, at the discretion 

of the Commandant, the aforementioned details may be set out in any 

other medium, such as a booklet or on computer software, provided that 

the aforementioned details are available to each officer and a copy is 

retained on board at all times and is accessible during emergencies. For 

vessels constructed on or after September 30, 1997 or for existing 

vessels which have their plans redrawn, the symbols used to identify the 

aforementioned details shall be in accordance with IMO Assembly 

resolution A.654(16). These identical symbols can also be found in ASTM 

Adjunct F 1626 (incorporated by reference, see Sec.  97.01-2).

the watertight compartments, the openings therein with the means of

alteration being recorded in the applicable medium as soon as 

practicable.
