At maximum draught level, a
— freeboard of at least 0,15 m,
— safety distance of at least 0,30 m, and

shall be maintained.
In addition, the metacentric height for floating establishments under option A (see 4.4) under impacts

be omitted.
Damage stability shall be tested as specified in 7.3.2.
4.4 Anchorages for floating establishments
Floating establishments shall be anchored in their positions to prevent them from being torn loose or
being displaced by currents, wind, waves, fluctuations in water level or the draught or wash of passing
vessels or possible special loads. In the case of floating landing stages, the influence of berthing ships
shall also be taken into consideration. The functioning capability of the anchoring of the floating
establishment shall also be proven for the case that the floating body of the floating establishment
springs a leak.
Anchorage for the floating establishment shall comply with one of the following two options:
a) Option A: the floating establishment shall be secured to the land by means of:
1) chains,
2) steel wire ropes,
3) fibre ropes as per EN ISO 1140 or EN ISO 1346,
4) a pier anchor of appropriate strength and length, or
5) the connecting bridge.

4.5.2 Freeboard
Taking into account 4.3, for floating landing stages the height difference between the traffic areas of the
floating body and the deck of the vessel shall be as small as possible for the berthing vessels expected.
For floating bridges the height of the traffic areas of the floating body shall be selected taking 4.3 into
account, so that no waves enter the traffic areas under predictable wind and wave conditions.
4.5.3 Floating bodies
Floating bodies using option B (see 4.4) anchorages shall be fixed so that they cannot twist. The height
of the guides or dolphins shall be sufficient dimensioned so that the floating body is not flooded at the
maximum water level to be expected or the floating body shall be secured against floating away.
Floating bodies shall have one or more buoyancy bodies, which:
— comprise a total of at least three watertight air chambers, or
— are completely filled with a material according to 4.5.4.
It shall be possible to seal the openings in the air chambers so that they are waterproof.
4.5.4 Materials for filled buoyancy bodies
Materials used to fill the filled buoyancy body shall have closed pores.
The water absorption characteristics of the material shall be taken into consideration during proving.
For buoyancy elements made of expanded polystyrene according to EN 13163, water absorption
characteristics according to EN 12087 of max. 5 % by volume are recommended.
These materials shall be resistant against external influences or protected against such influences.
5 Equipment
5.1 Railings, barrier
5.1.1 The walkways on floating landing stages shall be fitted with fixed railings as specified in EN 711
