11. (1) In the case of any ship engaged exclusively in the river trade area, if part of the deck of the ship is used for the carriage of livestock, fish or cargo, such part shall be separated from any space allocated for the accommodation of passengers by means of a gastight partition or other effective barriers so constructed as to prevent any excreta or liquid refuse from flowing or being carried into the space in which the livestock, fish or cargo is being carried and also to prevent any liquid from fruit or vegetables or any excreta from livestock flowing or being carried into any space allocated for the accommodation of passengers.

(a) the top of the uppermost rail shall be not less than 3 feet 6 inches in height above the top of the deck; and
(b) in order to provide adequate protection for children, the rails shall be not more than 9 inches apart unless strong wire netting is placed between the rails.
