1. Vessel classification
The vessel shall be built under the rules of the Lloyd's Register, who will approve the
plans and supervise the construction for the completion of the same deliver class
certificates.
Register Classification notation shall be the following:

+ 100A1 Tug, Fire Fighting Ship 1 (2400m3/h with water spray, * IWS
+LMC, UMS, CCS, Oil Recovery (F.P. >60ºC), ECO (NO-x3), CAC (3)
Descriptive Note: Escort operations for sheltered waters

Additionally, the vessel shall be classified by the Spanish Administration as:

GRUPO III (buques de servicios de puerto)

Clase T: remolcadores, lanchas, gabarras, dragas, etc. que salen a la mar.

Regarding the classification the vessel has the following particulars:

Length overall (LOA): 27,55m

Gross Tonnage: 350 GT

2. Battery Size Calculation

Battery size is calculated according to Standard IEEE 485 and considering the following
premises:

Maximum cable voltage drop: 5.5% (1.32V)

Minimum battery voltage at the end of the duty cycle: 21V (1.75V/cell)
Voltage on the load at the end of the cycle: 19.68V

Following correction factors for ESB battery shall be applied:

• Temperature correction factor (Kc): Kc=1 (25oc)

• Compensation for age (A): A= according to calculations
• Design margin (Dm): Dm=according to calculations

2.1. 24Vdc Emergency Services

According to LRS Part 6, Chapter 2, Section 3 “Emergency source of electrical power”,
3.1.3 “ The emergency source of power for cargo ships of less than 500 tons gross
tonnage will be subject to special consideration”.

In this regard and taking into consideration the technical specification of the vessel the
discharging time shall be split into three periods:
cycle Time Description
t1 0 to 0.5 hours Services non essentials for safety. In this period those non-essential
services shall be switched off by the crew.
t2 0 to 3 hours Emergency lighting at embarkation station
t3 0 to 18 hours Rest of emergency services according to SOLAS II-1, Part D, reg.43

GMDSS radiocommunications shall be supplied from its own battery pack.

Power consigned in the following table shows the power demanded by the services
under emergency conditions.
