supporting structure shall be analyzed
to verify its adequacy.
(b) In all cases where the tanks are
mechanically stress relieved in place in
the ship or barge and the tanks are designed to carry cargoes with a specific
gravity less than 1.05, the ship or barge
shall be shown to have adequate stability and buoyancy, as well as strength
to carry the excess weight of the tank
during the stress relief procedure.

(b) The respective piping systems installed on ships and barges shall have
the necessary pumps, valves, regulation valves, safety valves, relief valves,
flanges, fittings, pressure gages, liquid
level indicators, thermometers, etc.,
for safe and efficient operation of the
vessel.
(c) Piping for industrial systems on
mobile offshore drilling units need not
fully comply with the requirements of
