Section 28(2) in The Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution by Oil from Ships) Rules, 2010

(2)The following provisions regarding the extent and the character of the assumed damage shall apply.-
(a)Side damage :
(i) Longitudinal extent : 1/3 (L 2/3) or 14.5m , whereever is less
(ii) Transverse extent(inboard from the ship's side at rightangles to the centerline at the level of he summer load line) B/5 or 11.5m, whichever is less
(iii) Vertical extent From the moulded line of the bottom shell plating at centreline, upward without limit;
(b)Bottom damages
  For 0.3L from the forward perpendicular of the ship Any other part of the ship
(i) Longitudinal extent : 1/3(L2/3)or 14.5 m, whichever is less 1/3(L2/3) or 5m, whichever is less
(ii) Transverse extent B/6 or 10m, whichever is less B/6 or 5m whichever is less
(iii) Vertical extent B/15 of 6m whichever is less measured from the moulded line ofthe bottom shell plating at centerline B/6 or 10m, whichever is less, measured from the moulded lineof the bottom shell plating at centerline
(c)if any damage of a lesser extent than the maximum extent of damage specified in clauses (a) and (b) above would result in a more severe condition, such damage shall be considered;
(d)where the damage involving transverse bulkheads is envisaged as specified in clauses (a) and (b) above, transverse watertight bulkheads shall be spaced at least at a distance equal to the longitudinal extent of assumed damage specified in clause (a) in order to be considered effective and where transverse bulkheads are spaced at a lesser distance, one or more of these bulkheads within such extent of damage shall be assumed as non-existent for the purpose of determining flooded compartment;
(e)where the damage between adjacent transverse watertight bulkheads is envisaged as specified in clause (c) above, no main transverse bulkhead or a transverse bulkhead bounding side tanks or double bottom tanks shall be assumed damaged, unless-
(i)the spacing of the adjacent bulkheads is less than the longitudinal extent of assumed damage specified in clause (a); or
(ii)there is a step or recess in a transverse bulkhead of more than 3.05 m in length, located within the extent of penetration of assumed damage:
Provided that the step formed by the after peak bulkhead and after peak top shall not be regarded as a step for the purpose of this rule;
(f)If pipes, ducts or tunnels are situated within the assumed extent of damage, arrangements shall be made so that progressive flooding cannot thereby extend to compartments other than those assumed to be floodable for each case of damage.
