The Derrick Barge 50 is currently configured with port and starboard ballast pumps servicing port
and starboard ballast mains with a crossover line. A new Optimarin Ballast Water Management
System will be installed to service the existing ballast system. One Optimarin BWMS will be
connected to service the vessels ballast system. The BWMS filter, UV reactors, flow and pressure
valve, flow meter, and control panels will be installed in the Engine Room. The UV power cabinets
and distribution panel will be installed in the Engineer’s Workshop & Store.
New piping will be installed to connect the existing ballast piping to the BWMS, allowing the
existing ballast overboard discharge to be re-used. One new overboard line with a manually
operated shell valve will be installed in the Engine Room to support the BWMS filter backflush
line.
It is the intent of these specifications, plans, and other data furnished herein to cover the
modifications of the vessel Derrick Barge 50, fully equipped and outfitted by the contractor in
accordance with these plans and specifications, complying with all of the applicable requirements
of ABS (Class), and where applicable, the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Although these Specifications try to cover most of the requirements for this type of conversion, it
is not the intent for these to be all-inclusive. All modifications and improvements described herein,
including but not limited to any hardware, materials, or parts not noted, that are required for the
proper operation of the ship and BWMS, are the responsibility of the Contractor to provide and
install at no additional cost to the Owners. The project work described herein is to be complete in
all respects prior to final acceptance by and re-delivery to the Owners.
Throughout these Specifications, McDermott will be designated as the “Owner,” Choice Ballast,
as the “Design Agent” or “Naval Architect,” and the successful bidder as the “Contractor” or
“Shipyard”. The Owner will appoint the “Project Manager.” Wherever the words “as approved,”
“for approval,” etc., are used, the decision of the classification society and/or the Project Manager
is intended.
The sections of this specification have been organized to divide the scope of the installation into
manageable groupings of similar work items.
All materials to support work detailed in this specification will be provided by the shipyard except
for the following BWMS equipment, which will be supplied by the Owner:
• BWMS Equipment “Maker Scope of Supply” as listed in the Installation Manual for
Optimarin Ballast System, document no. 30988-02-02-01.
The Scope of Work (SOW) for the BWMS installation and modifications to the Derrick Barge 50
to support the installation are summarized as major work items:
The follow drawing list is provided for reference and guidance only. Additional drawings can be
made available to the Contractor upon request.
The following installation drawings are provided to support this bidding process. Prior to awarding
the job the Owner will provide a complete set of contract drawings to support BWMS installation.
Drawings with a drawing number and revision listed are included as Annex I to support bidding
activities.
The following drawings are the BWMS Vendor supplied information that must be followed for
BWMS installation and are provided as Annex II.
All major BWMS equipment, valves, and components shall be installed in accordance with the
design guidance given in the installation drawing package (Section 1.5) and the vendor drawing
package (Section 1.6). These major pieces of equipment must be positioned to allow routing of
ballast and drain line piping connected to this equipment while providing adequate clearance for
operation and service. The 3D arrangement is provided to depict the major BWMS equipment and
arrangement within the Engine Room.
The table below lists the major equipment supplied by the BWMS maker, which shall be installed
in the Engine Room, Engineers Workshop & Store and Wheelhouse Aft Control Room.
All major pieces of BWMS equipment will require ABS compliant foundations. The shipyard shall
fabricate and install foundations as detailed in installation drawing T4414-S11-13-1, BWMS
Equipment Foundations. This drawing covers the BWMS Filter, Backflush Pump, UV Reactors
and Flow Pressure Valve. The BWMS flow meter does not require a dedicated foundation, but the
pipe connecting to each end must be adequately supported to accommodate the additional weight
of the installed flow meter.
In addition to the major equipment provided for the BWMS, there are some minor components
that must be installed to support operation of the BWMS. The Shipyard shall design and install
any mounting brackets or foundations in accordance with good marine practice as required for all
minor components as specified in the installation drawings and maker drawings. This will include
temperature switch j-boxes, and any other j-boxes required by the yard to install and terminate
cabling required by the BWMS.
The Contractor shall perform the electrical power installation for the BWMS in accordance with
Netsco drawing, T4414-S62-1-1, BWMS Electrical One Line Diagram. The existing circuit
PLCB5, 800 Amp Frame molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) currently installed in the Pipe
Laying Switchboard, will be utilized to feed the new, shipyard provided, No.1 440V BWMS
Distribution Panel. This panel will provide power to the eight BWMS UV Power Cabinets as well
as a secondary 440 Volt power panel, to support the various BWMS control panels and sensor
boxes.
All new installed circuit breakers shall have short circuit withstand making capacities (Icm) meeting
or exceeding the asymmetrical fault value and breaking capacities (Icu) meeting or exceeding the
symmetrical rms fault values.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all required BWMS interconnecting power, control and
data bus cables, designated as “Shipyard Supply” by the OEM drawings, provided in Annex II.
The Contractor shall be responsible for making the physical connections between the BWMS
Control System and the existing Ship’s ballast valve control system. The shipyard shall also
design, construct and install a Ballast Control Relay Panel, to interface between the existing 24
Volt DC ballast valve indication system and the BWMS interlock panel. This relay panel will
provide dry normally open contacts arranged to close when the associated valve is fully closed.
Connection between the relay panel, the BWMS Interlock Panel and the existing valve indication
system shall be made with hard wired multi-conductor cables.
Connections to the compressed air system are required for operation of BWMS equipment and
valves. All new connections for instrument air are to contain water traps.
All BWMS supplied equipment and valves will require EN PN 10 flanges. The Contractor shall
supply all mating flanges for all BWMS equipment and valves.
Where piping penetrates WT BHDs and/or decks, steel spools shall be installed with flanged
connections on both sides.
Where piping must penetrate structural frames, the openings in the frames shall be reinforced with
doubler plates or rings in accordance with Classification Society rules.
The new overboard lines shall be installed in accordance with Classification Society rules and
good shipbuilding practice through the side shell.
All existing areas where coatings have been damaged or mechanically disturbed due to installation
activities shall be repaired in accordance with the original paint specifications of the vessel.
The shipyard will provide access and personnel to support BWMS Testing and Commissioning by
the BWMS vendor. Vendor specified commissioning is included in the vendor drawing package.
