Bilge pump requirement
If it is not possible to connect the sonar room to the vessel's bilge pump system, a separate bilge pump for the compartment
must be installed.
Install and activate bilge high level sensors to provide an early warning of abnormal accumulation of water. Position the sensors as low as possible along the centre area of the compartment, and/or in other locations where the water
will gravitate to first. Inspect the bilge sensors periodically.
Decking requirement
Once the installation has been completed, the sonar room must be suitably decked without restricting access to the equipment
and the cables.
