This UR does not apply to CSR Bulk Carriers.. - Load model..1 - General The loads to be considered as acting on the bulkheads are those given by the combination o the cargo loads with those induced by the looding o one hold adjacent to the bulkhead under examination. In any case, the pressure due to the looding water alone is to be considered. Notes: 1.
