Article 7.02(5) – Minimum light transmission of wheelhouse windows

Wheelhouse windows must exhibit a minimum light transmission of 75%.

Question:

How is the inspection body to proceed should it doubt that the light transmission of the wheelhouse windows is sufficient?

Answer:

When assessing light transmission the inspection body can assume that:
a) clear white glass wheelhouse window panes exhibit a light transmission of 75%;
b) green tinted wheel house windows exhibit a light transmission of at least 60%;
c) wheelhouse windows tinted another colour exhibit a light transmission of less than 60%.

Should an inspection body have doubts about the wheelhouse windows’ light transmission, the light transmission is to be investigated using an appropriate measuring instrument for measuring the light transmission of wheelhouse windows on inland waterway vessels.
