301 The ballast system shall be capable of operating after
damage condition (with maximum inclination 17° in any direction)
as specified in DNV-OS-C301 and have capability of restoring
the unit or installation to a level trim and safe draught
condition without taking additional ballast and with any one
pump inoperable.
Guidance note:
This also applies if flooding of a pump room may occur.

302 The sea water inlets to the ballast system are normally to
be separated from other systems. A common ballast and sea
water cooling system may be accepted upon special consideration.
303 The ballast system should be arranged and operated so
as to prevent inadvertent transfer of ballast water from one tank
or hull to another, which could result in moment shifts leading
to excessive angles of heel or trim.

B 200 Ballast systems
201 The unit or installation shall be provided with a ballast system so arranged that any tank can be de-ballasted or ballasted by either of at least two independently driven pumps or by controlled free flow.
202 The capacity of each of the ballast pumps shall be sufficient to provide safe handling and operation of the unit or installation.
203 Ballast pumps of centrifugal type shall be self-priming, by means of an automatic vacuum priming system.
C 300 Ballast system
301 The ballast system shall be capable of operating after the damage condition as specified in IMO MODU Code (3.5.10) and have capability of restoring the unit or installation to a level trim and safe draught condition without taking additional ballast and with any one pump inoperable. Counterflooding may be considered as an operational procedure.
302 The sea water inlets to the ballast system are normally to be separated from other systems. A common ballast and sea water cooling system may be accepted upon special consideration.
303 The ballast system should be arranged and operated so as to prevent inadvertent transfer of ballast water from one tank or hull to another, which could result in moment shifts leading to excessive angles of heel or trim.
