Column 10 is labeled Vessel stowage and is divided into two
parts. Column 10A specifies the authorized stowage locations
for hazardous materials on board cargo and passenger vessels.
Column 10B specifies codes for stowage requirements for
specific hazardous materials. In the example shown here for
Carbon dioxide, solid, or Dry ice, the entry in Column 10A
indicates stowage category “C,” which means that the material
must be stowed “on deck only” on a cargo vessel and on a
passenger vessel. The entry in Column 10B indicates that
stowage provision “40” applies for this material, Carbon
dioxide, solid, or Dry ice, which prescribes that this material
be stowed “clear of living quarters.”
