n: the empty space between two bulkheads that separates two adjacent compartments. It is designed to isolate the two compartments from each other, thereby preventing the liquid contents of one compartment from entering the other in the event of the failure of the bulkhead of one to retain its tightness. In oil tankers, cargo spaces are always isolated from the rest of the ship by cofferdams fitted at both ends of the tank body.
