Lesson 25- Sea Trial

The trial run of an ocean-going vessel is usually referred to as the sea trial, for the
vessel shall undertake the overall performance test at sea.
According to the shipbuilding practice the representatives from the ship-owner and
the classification society shall be present on board during the sea trial. The ship builder
shall bear all the expenses in connection with the trial run of the vessel. In addition, the
builder shall also prepare necessary ballast ( fresh water and sea water and such other
ballast as may be required) to bring the vessel to the trial load draft.
Ships for different purposes will be subject to different tests. However, the main test
items are as the following without exception:
(1) to check the reliability of the power plant including the main engine,the auxiliary
machinery and other relevant equipment;
(2)to confirm the performance of all the other equipment that contribute to the
successful sailing of the ship;
(3)to conduct the anchoring test;
(4)to check the sea-keeping performance of the vessel:
a. speed trial under different working conditions;
b. inertia test;
c. turning test to determine the turning circle of the vessel.
Upon the completion of the sea trial, the ship-owner or the owner's supervisor shall notify
the shipyard in writing within specified time of its acceptance or its rejection of the vessel
together with the reasons therefor. If the vessel or any part of it does not conform to the
concerned requirements, the ship builder shall investigate with the owner's supervisor the
cause of the failure. And proper steps shall be taken to remedy the defects including
possible re-trial run as necessary. In the meantime, the shipyard may begin to prepare for
all the documents for the delivery of the vessel. Among the documents are the Protocol of
Trials of the vessel, Protocol of Inventory of the equipment of the vessel including spare
parts and the like, Protocol of Stores of Consumable Nature, Finished Drawings and
Plans pertaining to the Vessel, Protocol of Deadweight and Inclining Experiment and all
certificates required to be furnished upon the delivery of the vessel.
When all the defects have been remedied or repaired, the ship is ready for delivery.
After the concerned parties sign the documents for delivery and acceptance of the vessel,
the ship will soon set out on her maiden voyage with the blessing from her builder, her
owner and other sides who have contributed toward the creation of her grandeur.
