- Pipes in longitudinal direction to be in one height and pipes in transverse direction
in another height.
- Always investigate for optionally pipe routes from A to B.
- Avoid too many ups and downs.
- No straight pipe of flanged type between two bulkheads/decks.
- Finally check for possibilty to reduce number of elbows/bend without reducing
functionality.
3.2 Which function shall this pipe serve in operation of vessel;

is the pipe arranged in such way that this will be possible?
- Loops and airlocks in piping system
- Suction height for pumps
- Dangerously situations caused by leakage of piping system to be evaluated.
- Maybe components must be relocated to obtain functionality.
3.3 Check if pipe is routed in such way that it's not blocking other functions in arr.
- Service space components
- Communication
- Manhole
3.4 Pipe clamping, even not part of scope of supply,

always have in mind that pipes are to be clamped in an easy way.
3.5 Any doubt on items mentioned above, consult project discipline leader.
4. ROUTING PRIORITY -GENERAL

Take under consideration damage stability and hydro department issues.
No air loops/ pockets on vent pipes.
Overflow pipes to be selfdraining.
Location of tank vent pipes on Stab tanks to be avoided close to shipside for tanks
located high (superstructure).
Reason for this: When ship is heeling the water in a stab tank, which normally have a filling of 60-
70%, will build up quickly at the ship side of the tank and air/water will be pushed through the vent
pipe if positioned at shipside. This might cause noise and water spray from the vent. Also refilling of
tank will be needed.
Solution: Distance between vents to be minimum B/2 and vents to be located

towards center of the vessel, but keeping min B/2 between them. Practical
evaluations to be made when locating vents, but in general as close as possible to
B1/4 from cl, to be guideline.
For stab tanks below m-dk this is a limited problem as movements are less due to
distance from Metacenter, and noise/water spray is not same problem in the rail aft,
as close to walkways and accommodation.

3.If it is not possible to obtain min. distance of 20mm, approval to be asked from Project
discipline leader in every such case.
4.Distance below 10 mm is NOT ALLOWED at all.
Principal exeptions from above mentioned rules:
1. Distance between flange of pipes running parallel with deck or bulhead may be 10 mm
measeured from top of insulation if applied
2. Min. distance between WT pipe penetration and anything else 50 mm
3. Min.distance between pipes in tanks and structural hole in non WT floors 10 mm
9.2. Arrangements of pipes- highlights
1.Pipes through fuel oil tank to be avoided at minimum.

Base oil pipes passing through fuel oil tank is acceptable.
Fresh water pipes through fuel oil tank IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Brine, Liquid mud, washing pipes through fuel oil tank in not preferably.
2. No straight pipes between bulkhead flanges
3.Engine crancase vent pipe is requested with 15 degress upward gradient.
4.Arrangement of cargo rail filling/discharge stations to be clarified by owner/shipyard on
each project , usually described in Building specification.
5. Pipe routing through roll reduction tanks to be avoided as much as possible.
6.In some doubt related to pipe joints limitations per systems check with Basic design
department.
7. Penetrations through deck shall always belong to the zone below or aft.
9.3. Arrangement of valves
1. Remote controled valves never to be mounted with actuator down.

To be tourned at least 90 deg.
2.Lug/wafer valves never to be mounted with handle down.
3. NR valves to be checked regarding type and installation position.
4. Short spool to be arranged between butterfly valve and NR valve
5. Blind flange valve to be mounted in vertical position due to drainage of valve body.
If not possible, alternative is rotated blind flange valve for 90 deg.
21
Valves to be closer to blinde flanges to prevent spilling when operating blind flanges.
Take care about ovehead space for tightenin – spanner ( check with manufacturer
of blind flange valve)- see attached example.
6. Quick closing valve to be installed directly to tank bulkhead

In general all tank valves to be installed directly to tank bulkhead, but
in case of flanged pipe penetration to be increased pipe thickness.
7. OVB valves to be mounted directly on overboard flange acc. to class requirements
10. CHECK LIST PER SYSTEMS
According to above described instructions – see attached

„CL_ Piping model per pipe systems W“ as a guide during 3D model checking control,
and during 3D model approval.
