This section of the survey spans the longitude range 6◦ to 20◦. We report the detection of 119 maser sources, of which 42 are new discoveries. The masers are tightly constrained to the Galactic plane, with only four outside a latitude range of±1◦. This longitude region includes the brightest known 6668-MHz methanol maser, 9.621+0.196, as well as the two brightest newly discovered sources in the southern survey as a whole. We list all the sources associated with the 3-kpc arms within ±15◦ longitude and consider further candidates beyond 15◦ longitude. We identify three new sources associated with the Galactic bar and comment on the density of masers in relation to the bar orientation.
