1.)what is the diff in lifeboat tanker?

said abt the air bottles n sprinkler system...wanted more...i could rem only these pts...

2.)how many bulkheads in ur bulk carrier?it was 8 hatch bulk carrier...i said 11...but it is 10....said me to draw n show ..how

11?....drawn when calculated again it was10...lot of confusion....

1. ISM with all ammendments.

2. IG plant trips.

3. As per annex-1 Max tank capacity for VLCC and ULCC ?-- no idea

4. Coating in VLCC Cargo tanks -- i said amine cured phenolic epoxy ... but then he told me that it is very expensive.. after this no

idea .... about how to bring this expensivness down...

5. type of floors, draw bracket floor......

co2 extinguisher....cross question type of battery for emcy gen start....nickel cadmium..startting regulations...said as per

regulations i.e, hydraulic one, pneumatic one which should be dedicated to that only etc...all as per solas..pls read solas..

3. blr survey? i said in first 5 yrs 2 times and interval bet 2 should not exceed 30 months.agreed. bt asked if i do it in 1st 18

months then when will b the next survey i said after 30 months, he said u people misinterpret the circulars. dint know wt uwant.guys plz go through the circular on dg shipping site carefully. crossed this.

1) what are the types of lpg carrier? dont know.

2)what is air lock? with drawing? told him all the points including drawing. then ask about how positive pressure is maintained

when you enter the motor room. explained him. then he ask for ventillation, that unfortunately i told him exhaust fan n got

trap. big cross. guys be prepare with air lock thoroughly, bcoz he is askin in detail.

For compressor room one fan is fitted with exhaust mode, whereas in motor room two fans are fitted but supplying air in the

motor room. This is wht mr.trassi wants to hear

fan for compressor room in exhaust mode only and fan for motor room in supply mode to keep the motor room pressurised so

that explosive gases cannot enter in motor room....and also a fan provided for air-lock space in supply mode.

2.)Difference between IBC and BCH?I did not answer this well.

3.)What is water pad?

3.)Types of floors?

4.)Boiler Survey interval?He asked me if first done in 18months then when next,told him within next 36months,he agreed.

BOILER SURVEY SCHEDULE:- I HOPE THIS HELPS U GUYZ

New survey schedule

- Two boiler surveys are required during each 5 year period of the classification certificate.

- The interval between any two successive boiler surveys is not to exceed 36 months.

- The survey shall be carried out on or before the due date. Time window is not applicable.

- One survey shall be carried out in conjunction with the renewal survey, i.e. during the 15

months prior to expiry date of the classification certificate

In particular, one should as far as possible avoid crediting a boiler survey during the first 9

months of the 5 year period of the classification certificate, as this will result in the need for 3

boiler surveys during the 5 year period in order to comply with the rules.

If the 1st boiler survey is credited during the first 9 months of the 5 year period, the 2nd will be

due before the 15 month window of the renewal survey, and consequently a 3rd boiler survey

must be carried out to comply with the Rules.

If the 1st boiler survey is carried out between 9 months and 2 years after the start of the class

period, the 2nd boiler survey will be due within the window of the renewal survey

If the 1st boiler survey is carried out between 2nd and 3rd annual survey (e.g. concurrently with

intermediate survey), the 2nd boiler survey will be due at the end of the renewal survey and

thus provide the best flexibility.

?1st Attempt- Tirassi - 09 Jan,2012

1. Safety

a) What is the difference between GC code and IGC code

I explained him that IGC code applies to ship after 1 July 1986 while GC applies to ships before this period. Both contain the

same no. of chapters i.e. 19.

Special requirements have been added for carriage of Ammonia in IGC code- Because ammonia causes stress corrosion when

carried in Carbon manganese tanks, the min and max value of Yield Strength for carbon manganese has been specified.

b) What is the difference between BCH code and IBC code ?

Explained him the same applicability criteria as well as the difference in content of Chapters

BCH contains 7 chapters while IBC contains 21. The contents of the 7 chapters of the BCH code has been expanded and is

detailed in the 1st 18 chapters of IBC code. While the remaining 3 chapters of IBC are new additions.

Chapter 17 of IBC contains the List of cargoes to which this code applies.

Cross question: What is the difference between this list and the previous list in BCH code?

I was not able to answer this.

c) What is the Boiler survey period?

Twice in 5 years with a minimum gap of 30 months

Cross question: Suppose 1st survey is carried out in 18 months , when will the next survey be carried out?

Told him 45 months but he said wrong and told me that I have interpreted it wrongly. He asked me to go to DG shipping siteand check this out and told me that the correct answer is after 36 months i.e. before the 54th month.

1) chem tankers comes under which code-told him ibc code wat is that and wat certificates r carried under this code-told him

some points and certificate of fitness

2) which bulkheads b/n tanks-watertight bulkhead

can u draw and show me yes sir same drawn..can u drw corrugated bulkhead -fuck was unable to draw.asked me bout bulkhead

stool and how bulkheads supported from top

3) psc inspector has come for inspection wat things he'll check related 2 oil pollution

started wid certificates-iopp he stopped me and askem me form is attached with wat is written in that...wat is form A......told

2.draw propeller shaft only the aft part, now explain how the propeller is mounted n various methods, explain the pilgrim nut

method. what if when u check bedding with die test(persian blue) it is only 60% n not 80% embeddibility, what will u do to

increase it??

1)ship is loaded upto 90 to 95 %.now bad weather and ship is rolling n pitching, so what arrangement in oil tanker isprovided to avoidthis excessive sloshing on.2) tank gauge and UTI?3) What is MRCC?4) draw rudder.5) What is rise of floor, what is its use .6) what is multigas detector and any other method of instrument for checking gas?7) what are ambient limitation of using isotrope for co2 measurement

SOLUTIONSFUNC 3:1) Deck transverse webs are provided to avoid this sloshing effect. Diagram - DJ EYRES sixth edition pg no 254.2) RIse of floor - rise of bottom shell plating line above the base line. Diagram - DJ EYRES - pg no 13. its use is sinceit is a rise it willcause all the sea water in the ballast tanks to accumulate on one side from where the suction to the ballast p/p is

provided.

---------------------------------------------------

3) MRCC - MARITIME RESCUE CO-ORDINATION CENTRE. Centres are in UK AND SINGAPORE. During distressand alert signals, thesecentre are notified and they provide the information to the ships nearby agencies for rescue. They operate 24*7*365days.4) In scrubber tower the o2 content increases because when s.w ( at around 30 deg ) cools the inert gas thedissolved oxygen getconverted to gas by taking the heatt from the gas. (same is the reason why hotwells for boiler water tank are operatedat high temp)5) CO2 LEVEL MEASUREMENT -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geiger_counter

1) X-section of gas carrier, I hv drawn a LPG tank but not shown secondary barrier told him no primary & secondarbariers. actuallytemp below -55 so hull can be secondar barrier so totally wrong in concept2) SCABA bottle wen do u pressure test? reply was during evry fire drill okthen wat is the speciality abt the compr ans was it will have canister filter at the delivery which turns frm green to redwhen filter ischoked. satisfied wid that before that I told all bullshit that it is 3-stage compr at deliver ratings upto 300 bar notinterseted in all this

1) Draw CLASS B RudderI drew Spade Rudder but didnt know the location of key as as far as I know then transmission is through bolt locatedbelow pintle buthe said your drawing is wrong as youve not shown any key or rudder stock bolts so this answer was wrong

4) What is heavy weather hold ballast?I answered as it is done in hatches to submerge propeller and for stability then started the cross questionsseriesany speciality? Isaid ballast pump line and strength is increased compared to other hatches & we can isolate alarm for hold floodingfor that individualhold but he wanted more so again cross mark.

5) SCBA bottle why it is not charged with MAC?I said its pressure is high then asked me what else I said air quality cause MAC oil carryover but he said even theSCBA comp has gotoil I said its the special filter cartridge that purifies air of dirt and oil then he was satisfied so that was the only correctanswer insafety.

2) csr comes under which code? ans- ispsinorder for issue of interim international ship safety certificate should CSR be present on board? told him no.CSRshould be placed onbord during the 6 month validity of interim certificate.he asked is CSR mandatory? said yes. no ISSC will be issuedwithout CSR. heasked when will interim certificate be issued? told himduring interim certification only the objectiives of isps to beachieved. then he

Protein foam concentrate. It is diluted with water to form 3% to 6%

solutions depending on the type and, ingeneral, it is only used for crude oil fires.2. Fluoroprotein foam concentrate is very similar to protein foam concentrates. It may also deposit a vaporisationpreventing film on the surface of a liquid fuel. It is diluted with water to form 3% to 6% solutions dependingon the type, and is used for crude oil or refined oil products where a higher degree of protection is preferred.3. Special alcohol type foam concentrate forms a foam that has an insoluble barrier in the bubble structurewhich resists breakdown at the interface of the fuel and foam blanket. It is used for fighting fires in water solution andcertain flammable or combustible liquids and solvents that are destructive to regular foam. Mainlyused for protection onboard chemical tankers.Draeger-Tubesare glass vials filled with a chemical reagent that reacts to a specific chemical or family ofchemicals.

A calibrated 100 ml sample of air is drawn through the tube with the Draeger accuro bellows pump. If the targetedchemical(s) is present the reagent in the tube changes color and the length of the color change typically indicates themeasured concentration.

Oxy-fuel Gouging

Oxy-fuel or flame gouging offers fabricators a quick and efficient method of removing metal. It can be at least fourtimes quicker than cold chipping operations. The process is particularly attractive because of its low noise, ease of

handling, and ability to be used in all positions.

Process description

Flame gouging is a variant of conventional oxyfuel gas welding. Oxygen and a fuel gas are used to produce a high

temperature flame for melting the steel. When gouging, the steel is locally heated to a temperature above the

'ignition' temperature (typically 900deg.C) and a jet of oxygen is used to melt the metal - a chemical reaction

between pure oxygen and hot metal. This jet is also used to blow away molten metal and slag. It should be noted

that compared with oxyfuel cutting, slag is not blown through the material, but remains on the top surface of the

workpiece.

The gouging nozzle is designed to supply a relatively large volume of oxygen through the gouging jet.

.

Progressive gouging

This technique is used to produce uniform grooves. Gouging is conducted in either a continuous or progressive

manner. Applications include removal of an unfused root area on the reverse side of a welded joint, part-shaping a

steel forging, complete removal of a weld deposit and preparing plate edges for welding.

Spot gouging

Spot gouging produces a deep narrow U-shaped groove over a relatively short length. The process is ideally suited to

7/29/2019 safety qs 2012

15/55

removal of localised areas such as isolated weld imperfections. Experienced operators are able to observe any

imperfections during gouging. These appear as dark or light spots/streaks within the molten pool (reaction zone).

Back-step gouging

Once the material has reached ignition temperature, the oxygen stream is introduced and the torch moved in a

backward movement for a distance of 15-20mm. The oxygen is shut off and the torch moved forward a distance of25-30mm before restarting the gouging operation. This technique is favoured for removal of local imperfections

which may be deeply embedded in the base plate.

is the most commonly quoted TLV.It shows the smallest concentration (in comparison to (2) and (3)

below)

(2) TLV-STEL. This is known as the Short Term Exposure Limit. It is the maximumconcentration of

vapour-in-air allowable for a period of up to 15 minutesprovided there are no more than four

exposures per day and at least one hourbetween each. It is always greater than (1) above but is not

given for allvapours.

(3) TLV-C. This is what is known as the Ceiling concentration of the vapour-in-airwhich should never be

1)DRY TYPE. 1. in case auto control fails, seal is inoperable causing cargo gases to flow back. 2. There are certain

conditions where the cargo tank pressure is always maintained above IG pressure...this causes the interlock to be

inoperative and hence the seal. 3. Always possibilities that some very refined products gets contaminated with the

dry gas contents. 4. The gas contents which may contain soot and other impurities may clog the valve and valve

seats and make it inoperable. 5. the water supply to the upper tank has to be always maintained. 6. In cold

conditions the supply water or the water in upper tank may freeze making seal inoperative.

Lifeboat release and retrieval systemsOn-load release mechanism

Accidents with on load release lifeboat hooks not functioning properly have been a major concern for

the shipping industry for the last 15 years. At this meeting the Committee adopted the following

amendments and supporting documents:

Amendments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention

A new Regulation III/1.5 entering into force 1 July 2014 requires that for all ships, lifeboat on-load

release mechanism shall meet new requirements of the amended LSA Code not later than the first

scheduled dry-docking after 1 July 2014, but not later than 1 July 2019.

Amendments to the LSA Code

Revised Chapter IV on design criteria of lifeboat release gear mechanism will enter into force 1

January 2013. Three of the subparagraphs will also apply to existing ships, i.e. criteria of hook

stability, locking devices and hydrostatic interlock (if provided).

ICCP Systems work by taking the ships power, converting it using as a transformer rectifier unit into direct current

and impressing this on to the hull through inert anodes strategically positioned on the hull.

The current will flow from the inert anodes through the sea water and back to the hull. This is ensured by a

sufficiently large dielectric coating applied on the hull around the anode.

ICCP Systems are generally self-regulating using a feedback control system. This is done by positioning

suitable Reference Electrodes at various points on the structure to measure the potential of the

structure at those points. By comparing the measured potential with the desired non-corroding

structure potential, the control unit of the ICCP System determines whether the current feed to the

hull through the anodes should be increased, decreased or maintained. The objective is to ensure that

the potential of the structure as measured by the Reference Electrodes is as close to the desired

protection potential as possible

Weekly and monthly inspection, and routine maintenance as defined by the manufacturer, should be conducted

under the direct supervision of a senior ships officer in accordance with the instructions provided by the

manufacturer,

All other inspections, servicing and repair should be conducted by the manufacturers representative or a person

appropriately trained and certified by the manufacturer for the work to be done.

When repairs, thorough servicing and annual servicing are completed, a statement confirming that the lifeboat

arrangements remain fit for purpose should be issued by the manufacturers representativeManufacturer without attendance of authorized surveyor or

Personnel appropriately trained and certified by manufacturer without attendance of authorized surveyor or

Service personnel trained by some other reputed and approved manufacturer in the presence of authorized

surveyor. Workshop carrying out the test / servicing in India to be registered with the Directorate.

If Lifeboat/Rescue boat wire falls are replaced while the vessel is in India, the wire fal ls used for replacement should

be approved by Mercantile Marine Department (MMD). If wire falls are replaced while the vessel is overseas, the falls

should be approved by a member of International Association of Classification Society (IACS), subject to the

condition that it complies with the applicable IMO standards. Release Gear The following should be examined for

satisfactory condition and operation:

operation of devices for activation of release gear: excessive free play (tolerances); hydrostatic interlock system,

where fitted; Cables for control and release; and Hook fastening. Davit The following items should be examined for

satisfactory condition and operation:davit structure, in particular with regard to corrosion, misalignments, deformations and

excessive free play; wires and sheaves, possible damages such as kinks and corrosion; lubrication of wires, sheaves

and moving parts; functioning of limit switches; stored power systems; and hydraulic systems. Winch The

following items should be examined for satisfactory condition and operation:

open and inspect brake mechanism; replace brake pads, if necessary; remote control system; and power supply

system. DYNAMIC WINCH BRAKE TEST

Annual operational testing should preferably be done by lowering the empty boat. When the boat has reached its

maximum lowering speed and boat enters the water, the brake should be abruptly applied. Five-yearly operational

testing should be done by lowering the boat loaded to a proof load of 1.1 times the maximum working load of the

winch, or equivalent load. When the boat has reached its maximum lowering speed and before the boat enters the

water, the brake should be abruptly applied. OVERHAUL OF ON-LOAD RELEASE GEAR

dismantling of hook release units; examination with regard to tolerances and design requirements; adjustment of

release gear system after assembly; operational test as per above and with a load according to SOLAS regulation

III/20.11.2.3; and Examination of vital parts with regard to defects and cracks.. Test of fire fighting

equipments.

Fire Fighting Equipments including portable fire extinguishers that exists while the ship is being registered under

Indian flag are required to have documentary evidence of having approval of Administration or classification society,

who is a member of the IACS and the fire fighting equipment is approved in accordance with the relevant provision

of the SOLAS 74 as amended and relevant provision of the FSS Code and applicable IMO Assembly Resolution

All fire extinguishers are required to have 100 % spare charges; Shipping companies are required to ensure that the

refill of the same make is available on board ship

Shipping companies are not able to comply with the requirement of getting one third of the fire extinguishers

pressure tested every year. In order to facilitate shipping companies, it has been decided that fire extinguishers may

be hydraulically pressure tested during the dry dock once in three years.

However, shipping companies are required to ensure that the ships fire extinguishers are properly maintained and

kept in satisfactory operating condition at all times

Weekly testing and inspections

inspected.

. If the LSA is of Indian make, the "type approval" shall be granted in accordance with M.S. (LSA) Rules.

Application shall be forwarded and thereafter tests will be carried out by the nearest Mercantile Marine Department

surveyors. Based on satisfactory compliance with the applicable IMO standards an approval for a period of 5 years

shall be granted

If the LSA is of foreign make, the applicant will be required to submit necessary authenticated document to the

Nautical Adviser for scrutiny and consideration for issue ofLetter of Acceptance for that appliance No

replacement or substitution shall be permitted. The life rafts of foreign make to which acceptance letter has been

issued shall be put up for inspection by the MMD for functional test and necessary certificate shall be issued by the

MMD on direction of DGS before the same is placed on board Indian ships Letter of Acceptance as mentioned in para

(c) shall be issued for a limited period, maximum of 5 years subject to intermediate verification of 2 1/2 year + 3

months.

The foreign manufactures of LSA, who seek "Letter of Acceptance", shall clearly nominate only one representative in

India who shall be responsible for such equipments.

. LSA service stations where inflatable LSA are periodically serviced must have approval from the Directorate

General of Shipping. For self certification, the servicing of Life raft shall be carried out at Service Station approved by

D.G. Shipping. Such approved Service Station should also have necessary approval from the manufacturer. In all

other cases the servicing may be carried out in the presence of a surveyor from the Mercantile Marine

Department. Other inflatable LSA of foreign-make will be serviced in the presence of a surveyor from the Mercantile

Marine Department.

The life raft of the Indian manufacture shall not be serviced by any other service station unless until such service

station has an authorization from manufacturer. In such cases, the servicing of the life raft shall be done under the

supervision of MMD surveyor.

The purpose of a Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) and Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR) is to maintain and

store (in a secure and retrievable form) information concerning the position, movement, physical status, command

and control of a vessel over the period leading upto and following an incident / casualty.

The information contained in the VDR / S-VDR is to be retrieved and used during the subsequent investigation. For avessel operating in shallow waters, cost of recovery of fixed VDR recording medium may not be very expensive.

However, in case a vessel is lost in deep waters, the cost of recovery of the recording medium may be prohibitive

and at times not feasible at all.

In view of the foregoing, it has been decided that all Indian ships shall install the float-free variety of the

VDR / S-VDR. However, if the shipowner has already installed the fixed type of VDR or it is not possible to install the

float-free VDR meeting full requirements of the IMO Resolution, they shall ensure that an additional float-free

arrangement may be made to retrieve the following information:

Operators should periodically check the condition of igniters and flame scanners, to ensure that they are in good

working order, Automatic fuel oil shut offs should, as a routine, be tested to ensure that the fuel valves operate

efficiently for fault conditions (e.g. flame
