CCS GUIDELINES ON APPLICATION OF MARINE ERGONOMICS

The present CSS Guidelines give clear and easily understandable guidance related to applying the basic ergonomics principles in design for noise/lighting/vibration/ventilation, and access arrangements. Chapter 1 contains objectives of the present Guidelines as well as related definitions and terminology, including the abbreviations. Chapter 2 explains people should always treat the human element as the key aspect and how exactly the regulations governing the shipping industry are nowadays putting the increasing emphasis on the matters relating to the human element.

In the third chapter of this paper the authors made a good attempt trying to present a brief though comprehensive explanation of why the human element is used for the recommendation criteria - lighting and ventilation, noise and vibration, various access arrangements - and present detailed recommendations for the structural arrangement for each of the above stated criteria.

Annex A provides the ship designers with required measurement values for some of the above mentioned criteria that could possibly aid them when applying design recommendations. They provide designers with some supplementary info that can be used in the process of making design judgements. The second Annex presents a complete list of all relevant standard documents relating to the good ergonomic practice.

KR GUIDELINES FOR APPLICATION OF BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS ON SHIPS

The Machinery Team of the Korean Register of Shipping released the present official Guidelines some years ago, namely in 2010. The world's traffic volume have drastically increased over the last several decades and it resulted in serious damages to the surrounding environment which was caused by invasive species contained in vessels' ballast water.

As a final result of almost fifteen years of negotiations held between all of the IMO members, the BWM was adopted in 2004. There are still many questions that are relating to the installation of the BWTS, i.e. treatment systems, on ships, raised by shipyards and ship owners as the effective date of the Convention in question is approaching. However, it shall be taken into account as necessary, that subject Convention will enter into force only after it has been adopted by not less than thirty IMO members with their combined fleet not less than thirty-five percent of the combined gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping. KR outlined all reference information for the selection and installation of such treatment systems by vessel type.

These Guidelines shall be considered as interim ones and have been developed on the basis of the discussions by date. We do hope that the book would help the shipyard inspectors, ship owners and class surveyors in their day-to-day work.​

CCS GUIDELINES FOR DIRECT STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE SIDE SKIN BULK CARRIERS

The present Guidelines were developed and published by Chinese Class Society. They are intended to address nearly all aspects of direct strength analysis conducted for the bulk carrier type vessels constructed with the double skin.

The Guide starts with the chapter containing some general requirements that are usually applicable to such analysis; it also explains all definitions used throughout the publication, for easier further understanding. The second chapter deals with the direct loads analysis and also provides some general requirements in this regard, together with the information on the still water and wave loads.

Talking about the design loads, the publication addresses the cargo pressure in the cargo hold, external pressure of the sea, and bending moments on end plates. The coordinate definitions and model meshing have been deal with in the chapter dedicated to the structural model. Then there are chapters on the boundary conditions, loading conditions and strength criteria. The last chapter of the Guide describes the various methods of buckling strength evaluation. Truly useful publication, bearing in mind the limited number of guides dealing with this sort of analysis.

CCS GUIDELINES FOR HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS ON TANKERS

The present China Classification Society's Guidelines were developed to apply to tankers carrying flammable liquid cargoes in bulk. The document is to be used by the designers, ship constructors and class surveyors of tankers for reference; it shall be noted as necessary that these Guidelines do not the relevant requirements of CCS Rules as well as of the IEC publications that are in force.

The term "flammable" used throughout the present Guidelines includes hazard results that are determined by the flash- and boiling point, flammability and spontaneous ignition temperature of the transported cargo, and hazard results from the cargo reacting with other materials. The document has been divided into six major parts. The first is providing some general info together with the definitions used and list of documentation; the second part addresses the area classification, following two parts are dedicated to the shipboard electrical systems and electrical equipment.

The last two parts of the publication cover the installation aspects (such as proper selection and correct installation of the electrical cables, their connection and joints), and inspection and maintenance issues.
