(c) TREATMENT OF SHELTER ABOVE CONTAINERSTACKS
In the case of open-top containerships having movable non-load-bearing covers (shelter) of light construction resting on the container guides, the space above the hatch coamings up to the covers does not qualify as an excluded space according to regulation 2(5) of the Tonnage Convention. For this particular design, however, an exception can be made in accordance with regulation 1(3). The space can be excluded provided that this type of vessel meets the requirements of an open-top containership without such covers.
