Introduction
For the year 2007 edition of the !"#$% '() *"+#,+-. /-, 0#/%%+-. 12$$# 3$%%$#% '() 1$)4+5$ (- !+4$)%
/-, 6-2)5(/7%2/# 8/2$)9/:%, 1997, the Rules have been re-organized and re-formatted for the purpose
of improving their ease of use. In this regard, we advise the users of these Rules of the following
primary changes.
1.

The year 2007 edition is a complete re-print of the River Rules.

2.

A new numbering system was incorporated into the Rules, in accordance with Table 2, which
organizes the requirements into JParts,K JChaptersK and JSectionsK. A comparison of the old
J1997K numbering system versus the new J2007K numbering system is shown in Appendix 1
as a guide map for users who are familiar with the existing Rules.

3.

The 2007 edition of the Rules becomes effective on 1 January 2007. This more desirable
effective date was made possible by appropriately revising the schedule of meetings of the
ABS technical Committees in 1999, and with The Technical Committee meeting during the
month of May, rather than during the previously traditional month of November. It is
intended to continue this practice in order for all future editions of the River Rules to continue
to have an effective date of 1 January.

4.

The effective date of each technical change since 1992 is shown in parenthesis at the end of
the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and
month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective datesV

5.

The Rule Changes contained in the previously published Notices 1 through 12 to the 1997
River Rules (together with Corrigenda) have also been incorporated into the text of the
reformatted 2007 River Rules. These Rule Changes, together with their effective dates, are
listed for ready reference in Table 3.

6.

Until the next edition of the River Rules is published, Rule Change Notices and/or
Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www.eagle.org and will
be available free for downloading. It is not intended at this time to publish hard copies of
future Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda.

7.

The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS
website www.eagle.org/rules/downloads.html for download.

An odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.) numbering system is used for the Rules. The purpose is to permit future insertions of
even-numbered paragraphs (2, 4, 6, etc.) of text and to avoid the necessity of having to renumber the existing text
and associated cross-references, as applicable, within the Rules and associated process instructions, check sheets,
etc.

Steel
These Rules are intended for barges and vessels of welded construction using steels complying with
the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ABS R0+*) 41/ C(5*/,(+) (-' A*+',-: 6<(/5 27. Use of
steels other than those in Chapters 1 and 2 of the above Part 2 and the corresponding scantlings will
be specially considered. Where it is intended to use material of cold flanging quality, this steel is to
be indicated on the plans.

1.3

Aluminum Alloys
The use of aluminum alloys in hull structures will be considered upon submission of the proposed
specification for the alloy and the method of fabrication.

1.5

Design Consideration
Where scantlings are reduced in connection with the use of higher-strength steel or where aluminum
alloys are used, adequate buckling strength is to be provided. Where it is intended to use material of
cold flanging quality for important longitudinal strength members, this steel is to be indicated on the
plans.

1.7

Guidance for Repair

including any low temperature steel and those materials not in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ABS R0+*) 41/
C(5*/,(+) (-' A*+',-: 6<(/5 27, a set of plans showing the following information for each steel

Scantlings

3.1

General

3-1-2

Sections having appropriate section moduli or areas, in accordance with their functions in the structure
as stiffeners, columns or combinations of both, are to be adopted, due regard being given to the
thickness of all parts of the sections to provide a proper margin for corrosion. It may be required that
calculations be submitted in support of resistance to buckling for any part of the vesselZs structure.

3.3

Workmanship
All workmanship is to be of commercial marine quality and acceptable to the Surveyor. Welding is to
be in accordance with the requirements of Section 3-2-6. The Surveyors are to satisfy themselves that
all operators to be employed in the construction of barges and vessels to be classed are properly
qualified in the type of work proposed and in the proper use of the welding processes and procedures
to be followed.

Proportions
In general, these Rules are valid for vessels having lengths not exceeding 30 times their depth, and
breadths not exceeding 6 times their depth. Vessels with other proportions will be specially considered.

Structural Sections

7.1

Required Section Modulus


The scantling requirements of these Rules are applicable to structural angles, channels, bars, and
rolled or built-up sections. The required section modulus of members such as girders, webs, etc,
supporting frames and stiffeners is to be obtained with an effective width of plating basis as described
below, unless otherwise noted. The section modulus is to include the structural member in association
with an effective width of plating equal to one-half the sum of the spacing on each side of the member
or 33] of the unsupported span !, whichever is less. For girders and webs along hatch openings, an
effective breadth of plating equal to one-half the spacing or 16.5] of the unsupported span !,
whichever is less, is to be used. Where channel construction is adopted, as illustrated in 3-2-1JFigure 5
and 3-2-2JFigure 5, the required section modulus is to be obtained solely by the channel.
The required section modulus of frames and stiffeners is assumed to be provided by the stiffener and
one frame space of the plating to which it is attached. . For bars or shapes which are not attached to
the plating, the section modulus is to be obtained in the member only. It may be required that
calculations be submitted in support of the resistance to buckling of longitudinals.

7.3

Serrated Sections
Serrated sections may be used for girders, webs, frames and stiffeners, but the depth of the member is
not to be less than 2 times the depth of any cutout. The cutouts are to be arranged to provide regularly
spaced points of contact with the plating sufficient to obtain the welding required. Where supporting
members are cut out for framing and stiffening members, the depth of the cutout should not exceed
50] of the depth of the supporting member.

The designer shall give consideration to the followingW


9.1.1
The thickness of internals in locations susceptible to rapid corrosion.
9.1.2
The proportions of built-up members to comply with established standards for buckling strength.
9.1.3
The design of structural details, such as noted below, against the harmful effects of stress
concentrations and notchesW

Shape and location of air, drainage, or lightening holes.

,,,7

Shape and reinforcement of slots or cut-outs for internals.

,E7

Elimination or closing of weld scallops in way of butts, `softeninga of bracket toes,


reducing abrupt changes of section or structural discontinuities.

9.1.4
Proportions and thickness of structural members to reduce fatigue response due to cyclic
stresses, particularly for higher-strength steels.

9.3

Termination of Structural Members


Unless permitted elsewhere in the Rules, structural members are to be effectively connected to the
adQacent structures in such a manner as to avoid hard spots, notches and other harmful stress
concentrations. Where members are not required to be attached at their ends, special attention is to be
given to the end taper, by using soft-toed concave brackets or by a sniped end of not more than 30.
Where the end bracket has a face bar, it is to be sniped and tapered not more than 30%. Bracket toes or
sniped ends are to be kept within 25 mm (1.0 in.) of the adQacent member, and the depth at the toe or
snipe end is generally not to exceed 15 mm (0.60 in.). Where a strength deck or shell longitudinal
terminates without end attachment, it is to extend into the adQacent transversely framed structure or
stop at a local transverse member fitted at about one transverse frame space beyond the last floor or
web that supports the longitudinal.

Tank Barges

Application
The following Rules and Tables apply to barges intended for the transportation of liquid cargoes in
bulk in services which require operation in comparatively smooth water exclusively, such as in rivers,
intracoastal waterways, etc. For additional chemical tank barge requirements see Section 3-2-3.

Classification
The classification ! A1 Oil Tank Barge, River Service is to be assigned to vessels designed for
the carriage of oil (See 3-1-1/21) cargoes in bulk, and built to the requirements of this Section and
other relevant Sections of these Rules. Vessels intended to carry fuel oil having a flash point above
60C (140F), closed cup test, and to receive classification ! A1 Fuel Oil Tank Barge, River Service
are to comply with the requirements of this section and other relevant sections of these Rules with the
exception that the requirements for cofferdams and gastight bulkhead may be modified.

Structural Arrangement

5.1

Between the Rakes


A.:.:

P,(8;57
Framing may be arranged either longitudinally, transversely or a combination of both.
Longitudinal frames are to be supported by regularly spaced transverse deep frames formed
either by channels extending across the inner faces of the longitudinal frames, or by flanged
plates notched over the frames and attached to the shell or deck and the longitudinals.
At bulkheads, longitudinals are to be attached at their ends to develop effectively the sectional
area and resistance to bending.

A.:.-

$,044+4
Trusses are to be arranged as necessary for the support of the framing. In vessels with
transverse frames, the trusses are to extend fore and aft and be arranged to limit the spans of
the frames to a maximum of 4 m (13 ft). With longitudinal framing, they may extend either
fore and aft or athwartships.

3-2-1

In all vessels where the ratio of L to (D + 1/2 the deck crown) exceeds 20, at least one foreand-aft single laced truss is to be fitted on each side of the centerline and where the ratio
exceeds 25, at least one fore-and-aft double laced truss or two single laced trusses are to be
fitted on each sideS in the latter case the diagonal bracing in the two trusses on each side
should be reversed in direction with each other to provide tension members whether the
conditions of load create either hogging or sagging forces.
A.:.?

5.3

B;17+ (56 M05C(1+ B,(3D+*4


In tanks where the radius at the bilge exceeds 305 mm (12 in.), the bilge brackets connecting
the lower ends of vertical side frames with transverse bottom frames are to be cut to fit
against and support the bilge plate. In longitudinally framed vessels, a similar arrangement
will be required at each main transverse frame and in addition, intermediate brackets are to be
fitted spaced not over 0.9 m (3 ft) apart. See 3-2-1/Figures 1 and 2. Similar brackets may
be required to be fitted at the gunwales where no gunwale angle is used. See 3-2-1/Figure 4.
As an alternative to the fitting of bilge brackets, an additional inverted angle or flat bar
longitudinal may be fitted as shown in 3-2-1/Figure 3.

Rakes
The bottom and deck framing is to consist of longitudinal bottom frames and beams, attached to the
rake bulkheads by effective brackets and to the head log by deep diaphragm plates or by a system of
vertical channels which in turn support horizontal stiffening on the head log. The longitudinal bottom
frames and beams are to have intermediate supports obtained by a system of strut angles extending
between each corresponding beam and frame to form an effective longitudinal truss, or as an
alternative, stanchions and diagonals may be fitted on the longitudinal frames at regular intervals in
association with channel or flanged plate transverses for the support of the intervening rake frames
and beams. A typical arrangement is shown in 3-2-1/Figure 11.
The sides of rakes may be framed vertically, diagonally or horizontally.
Special heavy plates are to be fitted to form the head logs and these are to be terminated at the corners
of the barge in special heavy castings or weldments.

5.5

Double Skin Construction


These Rules contain requirements for single skin as well as double skin tank barges. Consideration
is to be given to double skin construction as may be required by governmental regulations for certain
types of cargoes.
For an oil barge of U.S. registry less than 10,000 DWT in service exclusively on inland or limited
short protected coastwise routes, 33CFR157.10d(d) specifies the following double hull dimensions
and clearances:
"

Double Bottom

610 mm (2 ft) measured at right angles to the bottom shell

"

Wing Tank or Space

610 mm (2 ft) measured at right angles to the side shell.

A minimum clearance of 460 mm (18 in.) for passage between framing must be maintained throughout
the double sides and double bottom.

A limiting draft is the maximum draft to which cargo of the specified densities may be loaded.

G.:.-

/<8<7+5+<04 &(,7<
Homogeneous cargo is a cargo having a density which, when all cargo tanks are completely
filled, will submerge the barge to the approved limiting draft. The density of homogeneous
cargo is obtained by dividing the cargo deadweight at that limiting draft by the total volume
of all cargo tanks.

G.:.?

")),<X+6 &(,7< E+54;*Z


Approved cargo density is the maximum density corresponding to the limiting draft. It is not
to be less than the density of homogeneous cargo or 1.05 whichever is greater.

Loading Conditions
The following definitions of loading conditions are to be understood for the purpose of these Rules.
G.?.:

]<,8(1 &<56;*;<54
Normal conditions are those expected during the normal operation of the barge, including
intermediate conditions during loading and unloading.
While in transit, the barge is assumed to be full with homogeneous cargo, unless bending
moment calculations are submitted for other condition intended for normal operation.

G.?.-

7.5

/;7' E+54;*Z &(,7< &<56;*;<5


A high density cargo condition is a condition expected during the normal operation of the barge
including intermediate conditions during loading and unloading wherein tanks are loaded with
cargo having the maximum approved density that is in excess of homogeneous cargo density.

Loading/Unloading Sequences and Bending Moment Calculations


For tank barges of 53 m (175 ft) or above in length, loading/unloading sequences and bending moment
calculations are to be submitted for review as follows:
G.A.:

H<(6;57I051<(6;57 2+K0+53+4

It is assumed that those responsible for the design of the vessels have assured themselves that
the subdivision is such as to ensure sufficient stability in service when the tanks are being
filled or emptied. The length of the tanks and the positions of longitudinal bulkheads are to be
such as to avoid excessive stresses in the hull structure.
:N.:.- &<@@+,6(84
In vessels intended for the carriage of flammable or combustible liquids having flash points at
or below 60C (140F) (closed-cup test), bulkheads are to be arranged to provide cofferdams
between the cargo tanks and any spaces used for living quarters, general cargo, or containing
machinery where sources of vapor ignition are normally present. Spaces containing cargo
pumps, steam pumping engines or which are used as tanks for products having flash points
not less than 60C (140F) (closed-cup test) may be considered as cofferdams for the purpose
of this requirement, but in the latter case the piping and pumping arrangements for the high
flash point liquid are to be entirely separate from and have no means for connection with the
arrangements for handling the low flash point products.
:N.:.? !08) #<<84
Spaces containing pumps, piping and valves for handling flammable or combustible liquids
having flash points below 60C (140F) (closed-cup test) are to be completely separated from
all sources of vapor ignition by gastight bulkheads. Steam driven engines are not considered
sources of vapor ignition for the purposes of this requirement. The gastight bulkheads may be
pierced by fixed lights for lighting from outside sources and by pumping engine shafts and
control rods, provided the shafts and rods are fitted with efficient stuffing boxes where they
pass through the bulkhead.

Dry Cargo Barges

Application
The following Rules and Tables apply to barges intended for the transportation of general or bulk
cargoes in services which require operation in comparatively smooth water exclusively, such as in
rivers, intracoastal waterways, etc.

Structural Arrangement

3.1

Between the Rakes


?.:.:

P,(8;57
Framing may be arranged either longitudinally, transversely or a combination of both.
Longitudinal frames are to be supported by regularly spaced transverse deep frames formed
either by channels extending across the inner faces of the longitudinal frames, or by flanged
plates notched over the frames and attached to the shell or deck and the longitudinals.
At bulkheads, longitudinals are to be attached at their ends to effectively develop the sectional
area and resistance to bending.

?.:.-

$,044+4
Trusses are to be arranged as necessary for the support of the framing. In vessels with
transverse frames, the trusses are to extend fore and aft. With longitudinal framing, they may
extend either fore and aft or athwartships.
In all vessels where the ratio of L to the overall depth of the effective longitudinal material
included in the section modulus calculation (see 3-2-2/5) exceeds 20, special consideration is
to be given to the introduction of longitudinal bulkheads or trusses.

?.:.?

B;17+ (56 M05C(1+ B,(3D+*4


In holds where the radius at the bilge exceeds 305 mm (12 in.), the bilge brackets connecting
the lower ends of vertical side frames with transverse bottom frames are to be cut to fit
against and support the bilge plate. In longitudinally framed vessels, a similar arrangement is
to be required at each main transverse frame and in addition, intermediate brackets are to be
fitted spaced not over 0.9 m (3 ft) apart (see 3-2-2/Figures 1 and 2). Similar brackets may be
required to be fitted at the gunwales where no gunwale angle is used. As an alternative to the
fitting of bilge brackets, an additional inverted angle or flat bar longitudinal may be fitted as
shown in 3-2-2/Figure 3.

In calculating the section modulus, bottom, bilge, side and inner bottom plating, all bilge, gunwale
and other longitudinal angles and frames if continuous or adequately developed at the transverse
bulkheads and hopper side and other continuous longitudinal bulkheads may be included. The section
modulus to the deck or bottom is obtained by dividing the moment of inertia by the distance from the
neutral axis to the molded deck line at side amidships or to the base line, respectively.

5.3

Section Modulus with Continuous Coaming


Where longitudinal coamings of length greater than 0.14L are provided, they are to comply with the
requirements of 3-2-2/19.7. Such continuous coamings may be included in the calculation of hull
girder inertia which is to be divided by the sum of the distance from neutral axis to deck at side and
the height of continuous hatch coaming, to obtain the section modulus to the top of the coaming.

Towboats

Application
The following Rules and Tables apply to self-propelled river towboat type vessels intended for towing
operation in comparatively smooth water exclusively, such as in rivers, intracoastal waterways, etc.

Structural Arrangement

3.1

Framing
Framing may be arranged either longitudinally, transversely or a combination of both. Longitudinal
frames are to be supported by regularly spaced transverse deep frames formed either by channels
extending across the inner faces of the longitudinal frames, or by flanged plates notched over the
frames and attached to the shell or deck and the longitudinals.

3.3

Longitudinal Webs
Trusses or non-tight bulkheads extending fore and aft are to be fitted, one on or near the centerline
and one on each side of the centerline. An arrangement of deep girders at the deck and bottom
connected by vertical members will be considered. They are to be arranged so that in association with
auxiliary supporting girders. The spans of the bottom frames do not exceed 4 m (13 ft). Bulkheads
may be offset or stepped in a transverse direction provided sufficient overlap is effected to maintain
their longitudinal continuity.

Longitudinal Strength
The required hull girder section modulus, SM, within the midship 0.5L is to be obtained from the
following equation.

SM = 0.764BDL cm2-m

SM = 0.011BDL in2-ft

L, B and D are as defined in Section 3-1-1.


In calculating the actual section modulus, bottom, bilge and side plating, all bilge, gunwale and other
longitudinal angles if continuous or adequately developed at the transverse bulkheads and the continuous
deck plating may be included. Beyond the midship 0.5L, scantlings may be tapered to their normal
requirements at the ends where these are less.

Passenger Vessels

Application

1.1

Service
The following Rules apply to vessels carrying more than 12 passengers exclusively in smooth domestic
water, such as in rivers, intracoastal waterways, etc. The requirements for river passenger vessels
engaged in an international voyage will be subject to special consideration.

1.3

National Regulations
Where the flag Administration has Regulations acceptable to the Bureau, including those for stability,
structural fire protection, life saving appliances, etc., such Regulations may be considered under
1-1-4/7.3 of the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1).

Classification
The classification ! A1 Passenger Vessel, River Service is to be assigned to vessels designed
and specifically fitted for the carriage of passengers and built to the requirements of this Section and
other relevant sections of the Rules.

Structural Arrangement

5.1

Framing
Framing may be arranged either longitudinally, transversely or a combination of both. Longitudinal
frames are to be supported by regularly spaced transverse deep frames formed either by channels
extending across the inner faces of the longitudinal frames, or by flanged plates notched over the
frames and attached to the shell or deck and the longitudinals. Where longitudinal beams are used on
more than one deck, transverses on all decks are to be fitted at the same vertical plane.

5.3

Longitudinal Webs
Trusses or non-tight bulkheads extending fore and aft are to be fitted, one on or near the centerline
and one on each side of the centerline. An arrangement of deep girders at the deck and bottom
connected by vertical members will be considered. They are to be arranged so that in association with
auxiliary supporting girders, the spans of the bottom frames do not exceed 4 m (13 ft). Bulkheads may
be offset or stepped in a transverse direction provided sufficient overlap is effected to maintain their
longitudinal continuity.

Bilge and Tunnel Plating


Where radiused bilges are used the bottom thickness is to extend to the upper turn of the bilgeS where
the radius at the bilge exceeds 305 mm (12 in.), the thickness of the plating should be at least 1.5 mm
(0.06 in.) greater than the required thickness for side plating. The shell plating in tunnels in way of
propellers is to be increased above the requirements of this Subsection.

19.7

Bilge Angles
Where angles are used at the bilges or gunwales they are to have a thickness at least 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
greater than that of the thinner of the two plates joined.

21

Deckhouses
Side structure of multi-tier superstructure is to be designed to effectively withstand racking forces
caused by wind loadings. If required, racking calculations are to be submitted to substantiate the design.
Tween deck pillars and structural bulkheads are to be provided and arranged to effectively transmit
deck loadings to supports below. Stiffeners on exterior bulkheads are also to be designed to effectively
transmit deck loadings to the main deck. See 3-2-5/13.

Each vertical web supporting horizontal stiffeners on exterior side and end bulkheads, in
association with the plating to which it is attached, is to have a section modulus, SM, as
obtained from the equation in 3-2-5/21.1.2, where s is the sum of half lengths of the stiffeners
supported on each side of the web, in m (ft), and ! is the tween deck height, in m (ft).

Proportions are to comply with the requirements of 3-2-5/15.1.2i).

21.3

Openings in Bulkheads
All openings in exterior bulkheads of superstructures or deckhouses are to be provided with efficient
means of closing. Opening and closing appliances are to be framed and stiffened so that the whole
structure is equivalent to the unpierced bulkhead when closed.

21.5

Doors for Access Openings


Doors for access openings into superstructures or deckhouses are to be weathertight, permanently and
strongly attached to the bulkhead, and so arranged that they can be operated from both sides of the
bulkhead.

21.7

Sills of Access Openings


Openings in exposed positions on the weather decks which lead to spaces below are to have sills at
least 150 mm (6 in.) in height. Where these openings lead into passenger areas with intact decks, this
height may be reduced or the sills omitted entirely, provided the openings can be made weathertight.
Similar consideration may be given where passenger areas contain below-deck access provided it can
be shown that flooding of the below deck space into which water could enter through the deck access
opening would not adversely affect the stability or trim of the vessel.

Weld Design

Fillet Welds

1.1

General
The actual sizes of fillet welds are to be indicated on detail drawings or on a separate welding schedule
and submitted for approval in each individual case.
In general, the weld throat size, t, is not to be less than 0.7 times the weld leg size, w. Continuous
welding may be substituted for intermittent welding. It may be required that special precautions, such
as the use of preheat or low-hydrogen electrodes or welding processes, be employed where small
fillets are used for attachment to heavy plates. Fillet welds may be made by an approved manual or
automatic process.
Where the opening between members exceeds 2.0 mm (1/16 in.) and is not greater than 5 mm (3/16 in.),
the size of the fillets is to be increased by the amount of the opening. Spacing between plates forming
tee joints is not to exceed 5 mm (3/16 in.).

1.3

Tee-Type Boundary Connections


Tank boundary connections are to have double continuous welding in accordance with 3-2-6/Tables
1A and 1B.
Tight boundaries of dry spaces may have intermittent welding on one side in accordance with
3-2-6/Tables 2A and 2B.

1.5

Tee-Type End Connections


Tee-type end connections where fillet welds are used are to have continuous welds on each side. In
general the leg sizes of the welds are to be not less than 3/4 times the thickness of the member being
attached, but in special cases where heavy members are attached to relatively light plating, the sizes
may be modified. Where only the webs of girders, beams and stiffeners are required to be attached to
plating, it is recommended that the unattached face plate or flanges be cut back.

1.7

Other Tee-Type Connections


Frames, beams, bulkhead stiffeners, floors and intercostals, etc., are to have at least the disposition
and sizes of intermittent or continuous fillet welds as required by 3-2-6/Tables 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B.
The stem of a non-watertight tee connection is to be scalloped in way of the joint of both members
forming the tee.

Weld Design

3-2-6

Lapped Joints
Lapped joints are generally to have overlaps of not less width than twice the thinner plate thickness
plus 25 mm (l. in.). Both edges of an overlap joint are to have fillet welds which, depending on the
members to be connected, may be continuous or intermittent and of the size, w, as required by
3-2-6/1.11 or 3-2-6/1.13.

1.11

Overlapped End Connections


Overlapped end connections of longitudinal strength members within the midship 0.5L are to have
continuous fillet welds on both edges each equal in size, w, to the thickness of the thinner of the two
plates joined. All other overlapped end connections are to have continuous welds on each edge of
sizes w such that the sum of the two is not less than 1.5 times the thickness of the thinner plate. In
addition, for stanchions and diagonals, Note 3 of 3-2-6/Tables 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B is to be complied
with. For channel members not attached to plating, the minimum weld area of the end connections
based on the throat dimension of the fillet is not to be less than 75k of the sectional area of the
channel.

1.13

Overlapped Seams
Overlapped seams are to have welds on both edges of the sizes required by 3-2-6/1.7 for tee connections
at boundaries.

1.15

Plug Welds or Slot Welds


Plug welds or slot welds may be specially approved for particular applications. Where used in the
body of doublers and similar locations, such welds may be spaced about 300 mm (12 in.) between
centers in both directions.

Alternatives
The foregoing are considered minimum requirements for electric-arc welding in hull construction, but
alternative methods, arrangements and details will be considered for approval. The Steel Vessel Rules
will be an acceptable alternative. Fillet weld sizes may be determined from structural analyses based
on sound engineering principles provided they meet the overall strength standards of the Rules.

The means of operation whether by power or by hand of any power-operated sliding watertight door
is to be capable of closing the door with the vessel listed to 15 either way. Consideration is also to be
given to the forces which may act on either side of the door as may be experienced when water is
flowing through the opening applying a static head equivalent to a water height of at least 1 m (3.28
ft) above the sill on the centerline of the door.

21.5
Watertight door controls, including hydraulic piping and electric cables, are to be kept as close as
practicable to the bulkhead in which the doors are fitted, in order to minimize the likelihood of them
being involved in any damage which the vessel may sustain. The positioning of watertight doors and
their controls are to be such that if the vessel sustains damage within one fifth of the breadth of the
vessel, as defined in 3-1-1K5, such distance being measured at right angles to the centerline at the level
of the deepest subdivision load line, the operation of the watertight doors clear of the damaged portion
of the vessel is not impaired.

21.7
All power-operated sliding watertight doors are to be provided with means of indication which will
show at all remote operating positions whether the doors are open or closed. Remote operating
positions are to be at the navigation bridge (or main control station) as required by 3-3-1K23.1.5 and,

hydraulic power, or any other acceptable form of power.
23.1.4
Be provided with an individual hand-operated mechanism. It is to be possible to open and
close the door by hand from either side of the door, and in addition, close the door from an
accessible position above the bulkhead deck with an all round crank motion or some other
movement providing the same acceptable degree of safety. Direction of rotation or other
movement is to be clearly indicated at all operating positions. The time necessary for the
complete closure of the door, when operating by hand gear, is not to exceed 90 seconds with
the vessel in the upright position\
23.1.5
Be provided with controls for opening and closing the door by power from both sides of the
door and also for closing the door by power from the central operating console at the
navigation bridge (or main control station)\
23.1.6
Be provided with an audible alarm, distinct from any other alarm in the area, which will
sound whenever the door is closed remotely by power and which is to sound for at least five
seconds but no more than ten seconds before the door begins to move and is to continue
sounding until the door is completely closed. In the case of remote hand operation it is
sufficient for the audible alarm to sound only when the door is moving. Additionally, in
passenger areas and areas of high ambient noise, the audible alarm is to be supplemented by a
warning sign posted on each side of the door, an intermittent visual signal at the door\ and
23.1.7
Have an approximately uniform rate of closure under power. The closure time, from the time
the door begins to move to the time it reaches the completely closed position, is to be not less
than 20 seconds or more than 40 seconds with the vessel in the upright position.

23.3
The electrical power required for power-operated sliding watertight doors is to be supplied from the
emergency switchboard either directly or by a dedicated distribution board situated above the bulkhead
deck. The associated control, indication and alarm circuits are to be supplied from the emergency
switchboard either directly or by a dedicated distribution board situated above the bulkhead deck.

23.5
Power-operated sliding watertight doors are to have one of the following systems,
23.5.1
A centralized hydraulic system with two independent power sources each consisting of a
motor and pump capable of simultaneously closing all doors. In addition, there are to be for
the whole installation hydraulic accumulators of sufficient capacity to operate all the doors at
least three times (i.e., closed-open-closed) against an adverse list of 15. This operating cycle
is to be capable of being carried out when the accumulator is at the pump cut-in pressure. The
fluid used is to be chosen considering the temperatures liable to be encountered by the
installation during its service. The power operating system is to be designed to minimize the
possibility of having a single failure in the hydraulic piping adversely affect the operation of
more than one door. The hydraulic system is to be provided with a low-level alarm for
hydraulic fluid reservoirs serving the power-operated system and a low gas pressure alarm or
other effective means of monitoring loss of stored energy in hydraulic accumulators. These
alarms are to be audible and visual and are to be situated on the central operating console at
the navigation bridge (or main control station).
23.5.2
An independent hydraulic system for each door with each power source consisting of a motor
and pump capable of opening and closing the door. In addition, there is to be a hydraulic
accumulator of sufficient capacity to operate the door at least three times (i.e., closed-openclosed) against an adverse list of 15. This operating cycle is to be capable of being carried
out when the accumulator is at the pump cut-in pressure. The fluid used is to be chosen
considering the temperatures liable to be encountered by the installation during its service. A
low gas pressure group alarm or other effective means of monitoring loss of stored energy in
hydraulic accumulators is to be provided at the central operating console on the navigation
bridge (or main control station). Loss of stored energy indication at each local operating
position is to be provided.
For the systems specified in 3-3-1K23.5.1 and 3-3-1K23.5.2 above, the power systems for poweroperated watertight sliding doors are to be separate from any other power system. A single failure in
the electric or hydraulic power-operated system excluding the hydraulic actuator is not to prevent the
hand operation of any door.

23.7
Control handles are to be provided at each side of the bulkhead at a minimum height of 1.6 m (5.25 ft)
above the deck and are to be so arranged as to enable persons passing through the doorway to hold
both handles in the open position without being able to set the power closing mechanism in operation
accidentally. The direction of movement of the handles in opening and closing the door is to be in the
direction of door movement and is to be clearly indicated.

23.9
As far as practicable, electrical equipment and components for watertight doors are to be situated
above the bulkhead deck and outside hazardous areas and spaces.

23.11
The enclosures of electrical components necessarily situated below the bulkhead deck are to provide
suitable protection against the ingress of water.

Electric power, control, indication and alarm circuits are to be protected against fault in such a way
that a failure in one door circuit will not cause a failure in any other door circuits. Short circuits or
other faults in alarm or indicator circuits of a door are not to result in a loss of power operation of that
door. Arrangements are to be such that leakage of water into the electrical equipment located below
the main deck will not cause the door to open.

23.15
A single electrical failure in the power operating or control system of a power-operated sliding
watertight door is not to result in opening of a closed door. Availability of the power supplies is to be
continuously monitored at a point in the electrical circuit as near as practicable to each of the motors
required by 3-3-1K23.5 above. Loss of any such power supply is to activate an audible and visual
alarm at the central operating console at the navigation bridge or main control station).

23.17 Central Operating Console


23.17.1
The central operating console at the navigation bridge (or main control station) is to have a
imaster modej switch with two modes of controlZ a ilocal controlj mode which will allow
any door to be locally opened and locally closed after use without automatic closure, and a
idoors closedj mode which will automatically close any door that is open. The idoors closedj
mode will permit doors to be opened locally and will automatically reclose the doors upon
release of the local control mechanism. The imaster modej switch is to be normally in the
ilocal controlj mode.
23.17.2
The central operating console at the navigation bridge (or main control station) is to be
provided with a diagram showing the location of each door, with visual indicators to show
whether each door is open or closed. A red light is to indicate a door is fully open and a green
light is to indicate a door is fully closed. When the door is closed remotely the red light is to
indicate the intermediate position by flashing. The indicating circuit is to be independent of
the control circuit for each door.
23.17.3
The arrangements are to be such as to prohibit the opening of any door from the central
operating console.

Watertight Doors in Cargo Spaces


Watertight doors of substantial construction may be fitted in watertight bulkheads dividing cargo
between deck spaces. Such doors may be hinged, rolling or sliding doors and are not to be remotely
controlled. They are to be fitted at the highest level and as far from the shell plating as practicable, but
in no case is the outboard vertical edge to be situated at a distance from the shell plating which is less
than one fifth of the breadth of the vessel, such distance being measured at right angles to the
centerline of the vessel at the level of the deepest draft.
All watertight doors in the cargo spaces are to be kept closed during navigation and should any of the
doors be accessible during the voyage, they are to be fitted with a device which prevents unauthorized
opening. When it is proposed to fit such doors, the number and arrangements are to be specially
considered.

Miscellaneous

29.1
Where trunkways or tunnels for piping, or for any other purpose are carried through main transverse
watertight bulkheads, they are to be watertight and in accordance with the requirements of 3-2-5K17.
The access to at least one end of each such tunnel or trunk-way, if used as a passage during service, is
to be through a trunk extending watertight to a height sufficient to permit access above the margin
line. The access to the other end of the trunk-way or tunnel may be through a watertight door of the
type required by its location in the vessel. Such trunk-ways or tunnels are not to extend through the
first subdivision bulkhead abaft the collision bulkhead.

29.3
Where it is proposed to fit tunnels piercing main transverse watertight bulkheads, these will be subTect
to special consideration.

29.5

Compartments to be Tested

191

@eneral
Upon completion of work, the following compartments are to be tested.

193

Cargo (an.s
Tanks intended for liquid cargoes !"# to be tested with a head of water to the top of the hatch or
1.22 in (4 ft) above the under side of the deck at side, whichever is greater.

195

&t3er ComCartments +ntended for Eiquids


Compartments intended for other liquids are to be tested with a head of water to the top of the
overflow.

197

Ra.es or Pea.s
Rakes of open hopper type barges are to be filled with water to the light waterline, and for all other
types of vessels, dry spaces in the rakes or peaks are to be filled to the top of the headlog.

199

JouKle Lull SCaces


Between the rakes or peaks, double bottom and inner skin compartments are to be tested with a head
of water to the deck at side unless 3-6-1/1.5 is applicable.

1911

S3ell and Jec.s


Where not subjected to hydrostatic test in accordance with preceding paragraphs, the bottom shell is
to be tested by flooding to the top of the floors or the light waterline, whichever is greater, and the
balance of the shell plating is to be hose tested. This requirement may be modified in the case of
passenger vessels and towboats. Decks and hatches which are intended to be weathertight, all
watertight bulkheads and the shell plating in rakes not otherwise tested, are to be subjected to a hose
test. Any alternative proposal no less effective may be submitted for consideration.

Testing Details to be Introduced

391

Lydrostatic (esting

3O:O1

Tanks are to be tested with a head of water to the point indicated in 3-6-1/1 for respective
compartments. This may be carried out before or after the vessel is launched, Special coatings may
be applied before hydrostatic testing provided all welding at joints and penetrations is visually
examined to the satisfaction of the Surveyor before special coating is applied.

393

Lose (esting
Hose testing is to be carried out under simultaneous inspection of both sides of the joint. The pressure
in the hose is not to be less than 2.1 kg/cm2 (30 psi).

395

Air (esting
Air testing or air testing in association with partial flooding will be accepted in lieu of the foregoing
tests. In such cases the builders are to submit complete particulars of the method proposed to be
followed and the means to he adopted for the control of the air pressure.
Air-pressure drop testing (i.e., checking for leaks by monitoring drop in pressure) is not an acceptable
substitute for required hydrostatic or air/soap testing.

Notes

When a material other than Grade 2 steel forging is used for tail shafts, the Owners of the vessel are to be notified
if weld repair of the shaft may be difficult. Material for shafting is to be tested in the presence of a Surveyor. In
general, material with elongation less than 16% in 50 mm (2 in.) is not to be used for shafting, couplings or
coupling bolts.

For dimension of coupling bolts, see 4-2-1/17.

The thickness of line shaft coupling flanges is not to be less than the minimum required diameter of the coupling
bolts, and the fillet radius at the base of the flange is not to be less than one-eighth of the actual shaft diameter. For
couplings other than flanged couplings integral with the shaft, the shaft diameter in way of fitted coupling
members is not to be less than 1.1 times the minimum required line shaft diameter.

The thrust shaft diameter is to be determined at the bottom of the collar when it transmits torque.

When shafting is exposed to sea water, the diameter is to be increased by 2.5%.

Line Shaft Bearing Location


The location and spacing of line shaft bearings are to take into consideration the effect of these
arrangements on the low-speed gear elements, and the natural frequency of the propulsion shafting.

Tail Shaft Inboard End


The inboard end of a tail shaft may be tapered at the coupling to not less than 1.09 times the minimum
required line shaft diameter. Abrupt changes in shaft diameters at the coupling between tail shaft and
line shaft are to be avoided. The thickness of the tail shaft coupling flange is not to be less than the
minimum required diameter of the coupling bolts. The fillet radius at the base of the flange is not to
be less than one-eighth of the shaft diameter. Special consideration will be given to fillets of multipleradii design.

Tail Shaft Propeller-end Design


Tail shafts are to be provided with an accurate taper fit in the propeller hub, particular attention being
given to the fit at the large end of the taper. Means are to be provided for sealing the shaft taper in
way of the propeller assembly against saltwater in accordance with 4-2-2/13 as follows:

991

Pro.eller IorJard (nd


Where exposed to saltwater, the propeller assembly is to be sealed at the forward end with a
well-fitted soft-rubber packing ring and

993

Pro.eller Aft (nd


Where exposed to saltwater, a fairwater cap filled with suitable sealing material or equivalent sealing
arrangement is to be provided at the aft end of the propeller.

995

&onGcorrosive &onG.itting Alloys


For vessels under 45.7 m (150 ft) in length, the sealing in 4-2-1/9.1 and 4-2-1/9.3 is not required
where the tail shaft is fabricated of corrosion resistant pitting-resistant alloy unless required by the
manufacturer.
The key is to fit tightly in the keyway and be of sufficient size to transmit the full torque of the shaft,
but it is not to extend into the liner counterbore on the forward side of the propeller hub. The forward
end of the keyway is to be so cut in the shaft as to give a gradual rise from the bottom of the keyway
to the surface of the shaft. Ample fillets are to be provided in the corners of the keyway and, in general,
stress concentrations are to be reduced as far as practicable.
