Always load at least 4¼ feet of compressible cargo (density lower than 15.6
lb/cu. feet) between a crash net (forward crash net, forward transverse crash net,
intermediate transverse crash net) and incompressible cargo (density higher than
15.6 lb/cu. feet), when the net precedes the incompressible cargo.
When it is necessary to install the forward transverse crash net at its forward limit
(STA 6620), port and starboard attachment points must be translated for the same
length respect to the forward limit.
