" Where this Regulation requires the compliance with a particular requirement, the Director may, in relation to a particular ship or a class of ships, accept or permit an alternative arrangement as compliance with such requirement, where he is satisfied by trial or otherwise, that such arrangement is at least as effective for the purpose of ensuring the safety of the ship as compliance with such requirement would have been."
