Accommodation Ladder & Pilot Ladder

An accommodation ladder is a portable ladder hinged to a platform attached to the side of a ship and which can be positioned to provide access between ship and shore. Telescopic accommodation ladder is used for covering a long distance between the vessel and port quay. According to amendments to SOLAS Convention ships constructed on or after 1 January, 2010 shall be provided with means of embarkation on and disembarkation from ships for use in port, such as gangway and accommodation ladders Applicable Scope This inspection standard shall be applied to ACC. ladder onboard test carried out in the inner wall after … Continue reading Accommodation Ladder & Pilot Ladder

VORTEX SHEDDING PREVENTION

This Topic is support or building the fundamental knowledge to investigate and access the scour development and vibration around the offshore foundation and the others. In fluid dynamics, vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are motions induced on bodies interacting with an external fluid flow, produced by – or the motion producing – periodical irregularities on this flow. They occur in many engineering situations, such as bridges, stacks, transmission lines, aircraft control surfaces, offshore structures, thermo-wells, engines, heat exchangers, marine cables, towed cables, drilling and production risers in petroleum production, mooring cables, moored structures, tethered structures, buoyancy and spar hulls, pipelines, cable-laying, members of jacketed structures, and other hydrodynamic and hydroacoustic … Continue reading VORTEX SHEDDING PREVENTION

IMO NUMBER & NET TONNAGE MARKS PLAN

IMO SHIP IDENTIFICATION NUMBER SCHEME (Circular letter No.1886/Rev.5) The IMO ship identification number scheme was introduced in 1987 through the adoption of resolution A.600(15), as a measure aimed at enhancing “maritime safety, and pollution prevention and to facilitate the prevention of maritime fraud”. It aimed at assigning a permanent number to each ship for identification purposes. That number would remain unchanged upon transfer of the ship to other flags (s) and would be inserted in the ship’s certificates. When made mandatory, through SOLAS regulation XI/3 (adopted in 1994), specific criteria of passenger ships of 100 gross tonnages and upwards and … Continue reading IMO NUMBER & NET TONNAGE MARKS PLAN

Damage stability calculations (Sample)

Damage stability calculations Calculations of the stability of damaged ship are complicated and tedious. At present, two different analysis concepts are applied: the deterministic concept and the probabilistic concept. For both concepts, the damage stability calculation shall be made according to the method of lost buoyancy. Unfortunately, the collision resistance is not considered when assessing damage stability and vessels with strengthened side structures are treated in the same way as single-hulled ships. The damage stability legislation is contained in the following Conventions or related mandatory Codes. – Deterministic concept – This method is based on damage assumptions such as damage length, transverse … Continue reading Damage stability calculations (Sample)

SHIP DOCKING PLAN

Docking Plans: A docking plan is a document that is prepared for every ship during its preliminary design phase. All the information required to bring a ship to a dry dock is included in its docking plan. While most of the information is condensed into drawings, one must also refer to the textual references and notes provided, because they also inform us about the type of dry dock that is being used and technical specifications of dry dock that should be met before the ship is docked. Visit: Shipbuilding Knowledge A-Z for more understanding shipbuilding. The contents of a typical docking plan are … Continue reading SHIP DOCKING PLAN
