12 Livestock services
12.1 A ship permanently equipped for the carriage of livestock must be fitted with systems and equipment that ensure the maintenance of livestock services at a level necessary for the welfare of the livestock.
12.2 Compliance with Appendix 4 will meet this requirement. However, as an alternative, an operator may demonstrate adequate redundancy in systems and equipment by supplying to the Manager, Ship Inspections, a risk analysis of the systems involved.[20] A revised risk analysis must be provided whenever the arrangements referred to in that analysis are changed. An alternative will not be accepted if:
(a) it is inconsistent with Annex IV of MARPOL 73/78; or
(b) it does not comply with 6.8 of Appendix 4.
