11.5.2 Taking into account the different types
of accident which may occur on the MODU, additional radio equipment
should be installed in a room or position, which could be the bridge
or an emergency control room, situated as far as practicable from
the radio equipment fitted in compliance with section 11.5.1, so that
no single accident in any part of the MODU could deprive the MODU
of all facilities for radiocommunications.
The additional radio equipment should comply with the following
regulations for the 1988 SOLAS amendment for MODUs drilling in:
-
.1 sea area A1, the equipment prescribed by regulation
IV/7.1.1

11.5.3 If the acoustic noise level in a room fitted
with operating controls for radio equipment is so high or could be
so high, during particular operating conditions, that it may disturb
or prevent proper use of the radio equipment, then adequate noise
protection should be provided by mechanical or other means, in association
with the operating controls for the radio equipment.
