- one inspection is to be carried out outside the window provided for the execution of the annual class
survey, in the vicinity of the halfway date of the
anniversary date interval
- the other inspection is to be carried out preferably
not more than two months before the annual class
survey is conducted
- the minimum interval between any two consecutive
inspections of the same item is to be not less than
four months.
Type 2: inspection at annual intervals, preferably not
more than four months before the annual class survey is
carried out.
Type 3: inspection at bottom surveys.

Shell plating
The shell plating, sides and bottom, are to be visually examined for assessment of the coating, and detection of fractures, deformations and corrosion.
When structural defects affecting the class (such as fractures
or deformations) are found, the Society is to be called for
occasional survey attendance. If such structural defects are
repetitive in similar areas of the shell plating, a program of
additional close-up surveys may be planned at the Societys
discretion for the next inspections.
In other cases, such as coating found in poor condition,
repairs or renewal are to be dealt with, or a program of
maintenance is to be set in agreement with the Society, at a
suitable time, but at the latest at the next intermediate or
class renewal survey, whichever comes first.

Fractures are found, in general, at locations where stress
concentrations occur.
In particular, fractures occur at the following locations:
beginning or end of a run of welding
rounded corners at the end of a stiffener
traces of lifting fittings used during the construction of
the ship
weld anomalies
welding at toes of brackets
July 2014
welding at cut-outs
intersections of welds
intermittent welding at the ends of each length of weld.
The structure under examination is to be cleaned and provided with adequate lighting and means of access to facilitate the detection of fractures.
If the initiation points of the fractures are not apparent, the
structure on the other side of the plating is to be examined.
4.5.2 Criteria
Where fractures are detected, the Societys Surveyor is
always to be called for attendance.

1.2.1
General
The partial safety factors K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6 and K7 take
into account the increased knowledge of the structural
behaviour obtained through the surveys carried out on inservice ship structures and verification of their performances. Therefore, they have values equal to or less than 1,0
and apply to reduce the partial safety factor on resistance,
R, adopted in the strength checks of new ships (see Part B,
Chapter 7).

Definition of FMEA
A practical, realistic and documented assessment of the failure characteristics of the ship and its component systems
should be undertaken with the aim of defining and studying
the important failure conditions that may exist.
1.1.4
Sister ships
1.3.1 For ships of the same design and having the same
equipment, one FMEA on any one of such ships may be sufficient, but each of the other ships are to be subject to the
same FMEA conclusion trials.

Alternatives
While FMEA is suggested as one of the most flexible analysis techniques, it is accepted that there are other methods
which may be used and which in certain circumstances
may offer an equally comprehensive insight into particular
failure characteristics.

Inadvertent operation
The consequence of a failure mode on the operation, function, or status of an equipment or a system is called a "failure effect". Failure effects on a specific sub-system or
equipment under consideration are called "local failure
effects". The evaluation of local failure effects will help to
determine the effectiveness of any redundant equipment or
corrective action at that system level. In certain instances,
there may not be a local effect beyond the failure mode
itself.

Failure is an occurrence in which a part, or parts, of the ship
fail. A failure includes:
a) a single failure
b) restricted operations
c) any other corrective action.
For equipment where failure cannot be easily simulated on
the ship, the results of other tests can be used to determine

Alarm system
The following requirements are applicable to the alarm system of electrical propulsion:
alarms circuits of electrical propulsion are to be connected to the main alarm system on board. As an alternative, the relevant circuit may be connected to a local
alarm unit. In any case, a connection between the local
alarm unit and the main alarm system is to be provided
the alarms can be arranged in groups, and shown in the
control station. This is acceptable when a discrimination
is possible locally
when the control system uses a computer based system,
the requirements of Pt C, Ch 3, Sec 3 are applicable, in
particular, for the data transmission link between the
alarm system and the control system
individual alarms are considered as critical and are to
be individually activated at the control stations, and
acknowledged individually
shutdown activation is to be considered as an individual
alarm.
4.5.3
Safety functions
The following requirements are applicable to the safety system of electrical propulsion:
as a general rule, safety stop using external sensors such
as temperature, pressure overspeed, main cooling failure, stop of converter running by blocking impulse is to
be confirmed by the automatic opening of the main circuit using a separate circuit
in order to avoid accidental stop of the propulsion line
and limit the risk of blackout due to wire break, the tripping of the main circuit-breaker is to be activated by an
emission coil with a monitoring of the line wire break
in the case of a single line propulsion system, the power
limitation order is to be duplicated
as a general rule, when the safety stop is activated, it is
to be maintained until local acknowledgement.

5.3.4 The hydraulic fluids are to have appropriate and constant characteristics for their use and particularly a satisfactory viscosity at all the temperatures at which they are to
operate in normal service; their flashpoint and their temperature of self-ignition or of destruction by heat are to be the
highest possible. The materials used for the various parts of
the circuits are to be adapted to the nature and characteristics of the liquids employed.
5.3.5 Transducers connecting pipes are to be so designed
as to avoid any delay in the transmission of information,
especially when viscous fluids are used.

Control of machinery
General
6.1.1 The necessary operations to pass from manoeuvring to underway, and vice versa, are to be automated.
This applies, for example, to the starting of auxiliary boilers
or of diesel generating sets as well as to main engine fuel oil
change-over when this change-over is necessary.
6.1.2 When passing from stand by to underway and
vice versa, the gradual process of power increase and
decrease, if considered necessary by the builder, is to be
automatic; nevertheless, when provided, this device is to be
able to be quickly cancelled from the bridge, to perform
emergency manoeuvring.
6.1.3 The operations to be effected from the monitoring
and control stations are to be defined with due consideration to the type of installations and to their automation
level. Operating conditions are also to be considered during
periods when machinery watch-keeping is ensured and during trouble periods, when intervention, or even watchkeeping, is foreseen.
6.1.4 Where sufficiently centralised controls are situated
near the various components of the plant to allow quick
intervention by a reduced personnel, the above-mentioned
monitoring and control station may be replaced by a simple
monitoring station, providing information necessary for
rapid and easy intervention.
6.1.5 Where some indications are transmitted to a control
station by means of fluids, necessary arrangements are to be
made to avoid a leak from the piping having a detrimental
effect on the operation of the surrounding equipment (circuits, terminals). In particular, the piping of liquid fluids is
to be separated from electrical apparatuses and gutters are
to be provided for draining leakage.
6.1.6 Measuring instruments located on the navigating
bridge are to be lighted or luminescent; it is to be possible
to adjust their light intensity to protect the operator from
dazzling. The number of dimmers is to be reduced as far as
possible. Partial covers on lamps are to be avoided; an
adjusting system by trimmer is to be preferred. It is not to be
possible to hide or totally extinguish the luminous signals of
alarms.
