          Intended for other liquids                   0 to 0.95*

-------------

* The permeability of partially filled compartments shall be consistent with
the amount of liquid carried in the compartment. Whenever damage penetrates a
tank containing liquids, it shall be assumed that the contents are completely
lost from that compartment and replaced by salt water up to the level of the
final plane of equilibrium." The first phrase of paragraph (5) is amended to
read:
