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

openings therein with the means of closure and position of any controls thereof, and the arrangements

medium as soon as practicable.
