I. Introduction
In designing a general arragement of a ship other than determining the
machining part used, the size of the tank or the number of crew. Another thing
to note is the accommodation room. Placement of accommodation space in the
ship is ergonomically designed so that it is easily accessible and operated by the
crew. Determination of space for crew activities, placement of equipment
needed and determination of the gangway to reach the room need to be
considered.
II. Objectives
The purpose of the room arrangement is as follows:
 Plan the necessary accommodation space on the ship.
 Room determination for ABK activities.

V. II Equipment Accomodation
1. Accomodation Ladder
The accommodation ladder is a ladder used to connect the crew
traffic to and from the ship. Usually placed on the edge of the poop deck
on both sides of the ship, this is to anticipate if the ship leaned not only
on the portside but also the starboard. The maximum angle of
accommodation stairs at work is 45˚ according to ISM CODE. A.
Advanced specifications in accordance with ISM CODE are:
 Width of stairs = 600 ~ 800 mm
 Handrail height = 1000 mm
 Max grip lifter distance = 1500 mm
 The distance between stairs = 200 mm ~ 350 mm

 Used grating floor for stairs avoid accidents

2. Vertical Ladder
Is a ladder placed in open space and is usually used for areas with
limited space such as access to fore castle decks, top decks, cranes,
tanks, etc. In addition, this ladder is usually functioned as a
replacement ladder inclination (inclined) if it can not be used for some
reason.Based on ISM CODE vertical ladder specifications are:
 Both sides of the ladder are limited by a freshener 12 inches
between the freshener
 The distance between stairs 200 ~ 350 mm
 If necessary give a handle
 Used grating floor
 The distance from the wall is 150 mm
 Vertical ladder placement is used on the access between the top
deck navigation space then access from the main deck to the fore
castle deck, access to each loading space and stairs in the main
hole.

3. Inclined Ladder
The use of the sloping staircase is usually for access between decks
with each other in open space. Based on ISM CODE set the specification
of the sloping stairs as follows:
 Degree of slope 500 ~ 600
 Doc.No 07-42 16 100 104- RP

 Minimum height of ladder 1.9 m

 The minimum width of the 24-inch ladder but if not possible can
be reduced
 Equipped with a platform on the top deck of the ladder
 The distance between the 6-inch stairs to the top of the stairs is 9
inches

4. Inner Door

rooms - rooms, offices, kitchens, etc. The size of the inner
accommodation door are 700 x 1800 mm
5. Watertight Door

and open space. Especially for the impermeable door poop deck area

follows :
Width : 800 mm
Height: 1800 mm
Threshold : 300 mm
6. Window Accomodation
