(a) if oil-fired or coal-fired, be fitted with an efficient chimney-pipe, which shall be suitably fitted at bends with inspection plates to facilitate cleaning and which shall allow the escape of smoke from the cooking range to open air; (b) if oil-fired, be supplied by oil fuel supply tanks placed outside the galley, which shall be fitted with a main supply valve operable from the weather deck or other safe position and with efficient filling, ventilating and other overflow arrangements:
Provided that no oil flashing below 150° Fahrenheit shall be permitted for use in any such oil-fired galley; (c) if heated by electricity, be fitted with heat variation switches; and
(d) be fitted with portable storm rails and bars.
(8) All cooking appliances, dressers, tables, boilers and ranges shall be arranged with a 15-inch clearance from the deck to facilitate the cleaning of the galley.
(9) The floor of every galley shall be constructed of tiles laid on cement or other suitable material in accordance with paragraph (9) of regulation 7 and shall be fitted with a non-slip surface in working spaces and also a gutter in a suitable position leading to an overside scupper for the purpose of facilitating drainage.
(10) The Director may exempt any ship from the provisions of this regulation if the ship is engaged exclusively in the river trade area.
31. (1) In every ship to which these regulations apply, there shall be fitted an adequate number of fresh water tanks having an aggregate capacity sufficient for the total number of passengers that the ship is certificated to carry or is intended to carry, whichever is the greater number, and for the voyages anticipated.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the total quantity of fresh water required to be carried shall be deemed to be adequate if the minimum capacity of the fresh water storage is sufficient for the consumption of at least 5 gallons of fresh water per day per passenger, exclusive of the water required for boiler purposes and for the crew of the ship.
(3) Where facilities referred to in paragraph (1) are available for distilling water on board a ship the total capacity of available fresh water storage tanks may be reduced; but at least half the total quantity required shall be supplied from sources other than the distiller.
(4) All fresh water storage tanks shall be clean and watertight and shall, if they are situated adjacent to oil fuel storage tanks, be separated therefrom by a cofferdam to prevent contamination.
