APPLICATION

SOLAS PART B – 1

MSC.281(85) : Explanatory notes to SOLAS CH II-1

Dry cargo ships with type B freeboard

L > 80 m, if constructed on or after 1 January 2009

L is the length as defined in the ICLL in force

For SPS : MSC.266(84) : application depending on

flag requirements.


PROBABILISTIC CONCEPT

What is the basis of the probabilistic concept?

The probabilistic concept is based on the probability of survival after collision (damaged ship condition)

This probability of survival is expressed by the attained index A

The attained index A is obtained from the summation of the partial indices As, Ap, Al

For which values of attained index A do we consider a ship as surviving?

The requirement for the survivability of the ship is set by the required index R

Therefore, the attained index A is to be compared with the required index R


STABILITY CRITERIA TO BE SATISFIED

Four criteria need to satisfied for cargo ships/SPS

1. As ≥ 0.5R/0.9R, and

2. Ap ≥ 0.5R/0.9R, and

3. Al ≥ 0.5R/0.9R, and

4. A ≥ R

Partial attained index

As : corresponds to the deepest subdivision draught ds

Ap :corresponds to the partial subdivision draught dp

Al : corresponds to the lightest subdivision draught dl

N= N1+ 2 N2 with

N1, number of persons for whom lifeboats are provided and

N2, number of persons the ship is permitted to carry in excess of N1

N can be reduced to a minimum of N1+N2 subject to the agreement of the flag


Each partial attained index is a summation of the contribution from all damage cases taken into consideration, using the following formula:

CONCEPTS FOR SIMPLIFYING THE ANALYSIS

V-lines concept

Important factors for the calculation of the s-value:

θe : Equilibrium heel angle

θv : Angle where GZ < 0 or submersion of unprotected openings (downflooding point: openings cannot be closed weathertight)



V-lines concept

The envelope curve of worst waterlines after damage for all the damage cases giving positive contribution to the attained index A

Type of V-lines

“Watertight V-lines” derived from equilibrium heel angle (final or intermediate stages of flooding)

“Weathertight V-lines” derived from positive range (of GZ-curve)

Input for the calculation of the V-lines

Bulkheads limiting the boundary of damage under consideration

Decks limiting the boundary of damage under consideration



V-lines concept

V-lines from positive range

V-lines from equilibrium

Construction

Scantling calculation (sufficient strength to resist flooding loads)

Machinery

Position of ventilators, air pipes

Electricity

Control of watertight doors, valves, etc.

Safety

Horizontal evacuation routes

Vertical escape hatch

Escape routes, etc.

Stability

Verification of progressive flooding

No immersion of openings

Watertight openings

Weathertight

openings



Safe Area concept

Area far away from side shell (damage)

Probability (r-factor) to have damage to area close to CL is very small

Piping system as much as possible positioned close to the CL

Maximum penetration is the boundary of the safe area (r2) instead of CL

Way to simplify the investigation of progressive flooding

Negligible impact on attained index A: r3 = 1 – r2 is very small



No Safe Area

Investigation on progressive flooding for each damage case giving positive contribution to the attained index A

Fitting of valves to prevent progressive flooding

Maximum penetration is CL (or B/2)

OPENINGS, CONTROLS AND ESCAPE ROUTES

s = 0 (means: ship is not surviving), if position of

Air pipes, ventilators and openings closed by means of weathertight doors or hatch covers through which progressive flooding may take place

Horizontal evacuation route

is below the waterline at final equilibrium

Vertical escape hatch

Controls for the operation of watertight doors, equalisation devices, valves on piping or on ventilation ducts intended to maintain the integrity of watertight bulkheads above the bulkhead deck

Any part of piping or ventilation ducts not fitted with watertight means of closure, carried through a watertight boundary

is below the waterline in intermediate stages or at final equilibrium


OPENINGS, CONTROLS AND ESCAPE ROUTES

s not automatically 0 if position of

Air pipes, ventilators and openings closed by means of weathertight doors or hatch covers through which progressive flooding may take place

Horizontal evacuation route and vertical escape hatch

Controls for the operation of watertight doors, equalisation devices, valves on piping or on ventilation ducts intended to maintain the integrity of watertight bulkheads above the bulkhead deck

is above the V-lines

Any part of piping or ventilation ducts carried through a watertight boundary is fitted with valves able to prevent progressive flooding


SIMPLIFIED ANALYSIS – SUMMARY

V-lines concept

Safe Area concept


Pipes and valves are adjacent to a bulkhead (longitudinal/transverse) or deck

Provision: the separation distance is of the same order as the stiffening structure

Total cross sectional area of pipe < 710 mm2 (where possible)

Otherwise:

Investigation on progressive flooding for each damage case

If pipes and valves are outside the order of the stiffening structure, introduction of a gap or additional zone and investigation of progressive flooding
