CAPT HARUN ORAL Q&A

1)WHAT IS L.O.A? Draw out.

The maximum length of the vessel measured from the extreme ford point of the vessel to theextreme aft point parallel to the waterline. For anchoring turning circle.

2. What do you understand by the word L.B.P? for what purpose?

Length between perpendiculars is a term referring to the length of a vessel along the waterline from

the fwd surface of the stem to the after surface of the sternpost OR The distance between the ford

and aft perpendiculars. Calculate hydrostatics draft and MCTC.

3. Definition of Moulded Depth, Moulded Breadth, Freeboard, Moulded Draft. How to obtain?

Moulded Depth is the vertical distance measured from the top of the keel to the underside of the

upperdeck at side.

Moulded Breadth is the transverse distance between the moulded surfaces of the side shell plating

measured at the widest portion of a ships hull

Freeboard is the vertical distance, measured at the ships side, from the waterline to the top of the

freeboard deck edge.The freeboard measurement is taken at the midships point. Deck edge is

marked by a painted line 25mm x 100mm, above the plimsoll line. (statutory freeboard is the vertical

distance measured from the upper edge of the assigned deckline to the upper edge of the loadline;

this calculated height governs the maximum quatity of cargo a ship can legally load.)


2/23

Moulded Draft is the distance measured vertically on the ship midship transverse section from the

bottom of the keel to the summer loadline.

4. Your Chief Officer just come back from shore, drunk. He ask you to find out the ship current

displacement, How do you reply him?

Ship's hydrostatics table.A merchant vessel has six sets of draft marks: forward, midships, and

astern on both the port and starboard sidesThese drafts can allow the determination of a ship's

displacement to an accuracy of 0.5%. First, the individual drafts are averaged to find a mean draft.

Then the mean draft is entered into the ship's hydrostatic tables, giving a displacement.

5. Draw a cross section of a cargo hold. General Cargo.

6. What is the function of a lightening hole?Holes cut into floors, or intercostals to reduce the weight content of the ships build and to provideaccess to tank areas (with minimal loss of strength or structural integrity)

7. How cargo battens are fitted onto the frame?Cargo battens are fitted fore and aft horizontally/vertically inside the ships frames in the holds andtweendecks at a regular distance of approximately 30 centimeters to prevent contact between thecargo and the frames or shell plating to keep cargo off the steel work of the ships side. Contactbetween the shell plate and the cargo tends to lead to excessive cargo sweat damage, and to preventthis occurrence cargo battens are secured in cleats throughout a cargo hold and tween deck.

8. Definitions of flat bar stiffeners, deck girder, beam knee, plate floor, side girder, centre girder, tank

top ceiling, frame.

Flat bar stiffeners


3/23

Deck Girders

Steel sections, which support the deck similar to the beams but in the longitudinal or fore and aft

direction OR a longitudinal web structure/girder used to strengthen and support a deck.

Bean Knee

A bracket connecting a deck beam and frame; usually triangular in shape OR bracket located at the

end of deck beams that connects the beam and frame to shell plating to resist racking, heavy weights

or localized stresses.

Plate Floor

A steel plate which is welded to the floor of the hull. Runs longitudinally throughout the hull floor.Side Girder

Inter-coastal plates that are used to join two floor plates ORA side girder in the fore and aft line sited

either side of the keel. Integral connection with the tank top and the ships bottom plating and rigidly

connected by floors.


4/23

Centre Girder

Tank Top CeilingThis is a wooden sheathing over the double bottom tank tops, usually in way of the hatch, providingthe tank tops with some protection from wear and tear. The ceiling also assists ventilation anddrainage of cargoes, andwith many cargoes relieves the necessity for laying of double dunnage

FrameInternal support member for the shell plating (Figure 1.21).Vessels may beframed transversely orlongitudinally.

9. Corrugated bulkhead is normally used in which type of vessel? Draw. What is the purpose? Why?

Advantage?

(a) horizontal

(large)

(b) horizontal

(small)

(c) vertical

(large)

(d) vertical

(small)

Corrugated bulkheads are often used in chemical tankers and product tankers in order to helpfacilitate cargo tank washing efficiently, minimizing cargo residue.


5/23

A corrugated plate is stronger than a flat plate without stiffening if subject to bendingmoment or a pillar load along the corrugations.

Corrugations (or swedges) are formed on a corrugated bulkhead to eliminate the need to fitthe vertical stiffener, as in those of the plain bulkhead.

The elimination of vertical stiffeners also results in saving in steel weight and cost ofstiffeners.

To apply complete cargo tank washing, it is most important not to create shadow areas

caused by internal structures. The large web frames and stiffeners provided on the

boundaries of the

cargo tanks easily become complicated shadow objects. Even though the number of cargo tank

cleaning machines is increasing, it is very difficult to completely wash the stiffened surfaces with

such machines. To solve this problem, corrugated bulkheads have been applied to chemical and

product tanker s to convert the cargo tank boundaries into more easily accessible plane surfaces.

Such plane surfaces, of course, contribute to minimizing the amount of remaining cargo itself afterunloading and also help facilitate easier coating and inspection of corrugated bulkheads as a result.

10. What is TEU? What is twenty footer? dimension? Standard

twenty-foot equivalent unit. A20-foot-long (6.1 m) ISO container. 20x8x8. Height not standardized.

11. How do you load 5000 TEU of cargo?

The order of loading, when the large container vessels are carrying currently up to 9500 teus mustbe well-planned and considered as a detailed operation. Planners are usually employed ashore to

provide a practical order of loading, particularly important when the vessel is scheduled to dischargeat two or three or more terminal ports (Figure 6.32). Once loading in the cell guides is complete, thepontoon steel hatch covers, common to container vessels, are replaced and secured. Containers arethen stowed on deck in stacks often as high as six tiers. The overall height of the deck stowagecontainer stack may well be determined by the construction of the vessel. It must allow sufficientvision for bridge watchkeepers, to be able to carry out their essential lookout duties.The stabilitycriteria of the vessel, when carrying containers on deck,must also be compatible with the stowagetonnage below decks. Any deck stowage requires effective securing and this is achieved usually by arigging gang based at the terminal. As the stack is built up, each container is secured by means ofspecialized fittings, between containers themselves and to the ships structure.

12. What is Grain Capacity? Draw out and explain.

The maximum space available for cargo measured in cubic feet, the measurement being taken to theinside of the shell plating of the ship or to the outside of the frames and to the top of the beam orunderside of the deck plating. It is a measurement of capacity for cargo like grain, where the cargoflows to conform to the shape of the ship.

13. What is Bale capacity?

The space available for cargo measured in cubic feet to the inside of the cargo battens, on the frames,and to the underside of the beams. It is a measurement of capacity for cargo in bales, on pallets, etc.,

where the cargo does not conform to the shape of the ship.


6/23

14. What is Gross Tonnage? Why no unit? What's the formula?

Gross Tonnage(GT) is defined as that measurement of the internal capacityof the ship.

The Gross Tonnage value is determined by the formula: GT = K1V

when K1 =0.2 +0.02 log10VV = total volume of all enclosed spaces measured in cubic metres.

It should be noted that the word 'tons'is no longer to be applied since the gross and net tonnages

are dimensionless, i.e. there are no physical units of tonnage. Hence the tonnage will be expressed as,

e.g. the ship has 'Gross Tonnage of 12,345'without the addition of any units.

15. What is Net Tonnage? formula (both)Net Tonnage(NT) is that measurement which is intended to indicate the working/earning capacity ofthe vessel. Port and harbour dues are based on the gross and net tonnage figures.

Net Tonnage for Passenger Ships, carrying more than 13 passengers is

determined by the formula:Net Tonnage (NT) = K2Vc(4d/3D)

2 + K3(N1+N2/10)

Net Tonnage for other vessels:Net Tonnage (NT) = K2Vc(4d/3D)

2

where, Vc = total volume of cargo spaces in cubic metresK2 = 0.2 + 0.02 log10 Vc (or as tabulated in Appendix 2 of the Convention)K3 = 1.25 (GT + 10,000)/10,000D = moulded depth amidships in metresd = moulded draught amidships in metres (Summer Load Line draught)N1 = number of passengers in cabins with not more than 8 berths

N2 = number of other passengersN1 + N2 = total number of passengers the ship is permitted to carry as indicated in the ship'spassenger certificate; when N1 + N2 is less than 13, N1 and N2 shall be taken as zeroGT= gross tonnage of the ship as determined above

The factor (4d/3D)2 shall not be taken as greater than unityThe term K2Vc(4d/3D)

2 shall not be taken as less than 0.25 GTNT shall not be taken as less than 0.30 GT

16. What is displacement? Explain Load displacement and light displacement. Give examples.The displacement of a vessel is the weight of water it displaces, i.e. the weight of the vessel and all itcontains. It is the immersed volume of the ship in cubic metres x density of the water, expressed in

tonnes per cu. m. It is normal practice to regard the ships displacement as being that displacementwhen at her load draught (load displacement).Loaded displacement is defined as the weight of the ship including cargo, passengers, fuel, water,stores, dunnage and such other items necessary for use on a voyage, which brings the ship down toher load draftLightship is defined as the extreme displacement of a ship, when fully equipped and ready for sea butwithout cargo, crew, passengers, fuel, ballast water, fresh water and, consumable stores.The boilersare filled with waterto their working level.

17. Draw Loadline mark. (1/48 of summer draft between Tropical & Summer, is it fixed?) Label all the

marking, the thickness of the lines. What is deck line?

TABULAR SUMMARY OF REGULATIONS-MARPOL 73 ANNEX V

SOLAS. What u know about solas? List out all 12 chapters, describe all in details.

Technical provisions

The main objective of the SOLAS Convention is to specify minimum standards for the construction,

equipment and operation of ships, compatible with their safety. Flag States are responsible for

ensuring that ships under their flag comply with its requirements, and a number of certificates areprescribed in the Convention as proof that this has been done. Control provisions also allow

Contracting Governments to inspect ships of other Contracting States if there are clear grounds for

believing that the ship and its equipment do not substantially comply with the requirements of the

Convention - this procedure is known as port State control.The current SOLAS Convention includes

Articles setting out general obligations, amendment procedure and so on, followed by an Annex

divided into 12 Chapters.

Chapter I - General Provisions

Includes regulations concerning the survey of the various types of ships and the issuing of documents

signifying that the ship meets the requirements of the Convention. The Chapter also includes

provisions for the control of ships in ports of other Contracting Governments.

Chapter II-1 - Construction - Subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical

installations

The subdivision of passenger ships into watertight compartments must be such that after assumed

damage to the ship's hull the vessel will remain afloat and stable. Requirements for watertight

integrity and bilge pumping arrangements for passenger ships are also laid down as well as stability

requirements for both passenger and cargo ships.


18/23

The degree of subdivision - measured by the maximum permissible distance between two adjacent

bulkheads - varies with ship's length and the service in which it is engaged. The highest degree of

subdivision applies to passenger ships.

Requirements covering machinery and electrical installations are designed to ensure that serviceswhich are essential for the safety of the ship, passengers and crew are maintained under various

emergency conditions.

"Goal-based standards" for oil tankers and bulk carriers were adopted in 2010, requiring new ships to

be designed and constructed for a specified design life and to be safe and environmentally friendly, in

intact and specified damage conditions, throughout their life. Under the regulation, ships should have

adequate strength, integrity and stability to minimize the risk of loss of the ship or pollution to the

marine environment due to structural failure, including collapse, resulting in flooding or loss of

watertight integrity.

Chapter II-2 - Fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction

Includes detailed fire safety provisions for all ships and specific measures for passenger ships, cargo

ships and tankers.

They include the following principles: division of the ship into main and vertical zones by thermal and

structural boundaries; separation of accommodation spaces from the remainder of the ship by

thermal and structural boundaries; restricted use of combustible materials; detection of any fire in the

zone of origin; containment and extinction of any fire in the space of origin; protection of the means

of escape or of access for fire-fighting purposes; ready availability of fire-extinguishing appliances;minimization of the possibility of ignition of flammable cargo vapour.

Chapter III - Life-saving appliances and arrangements

The Chapter includes requirements for life-saving appliances and arrangements, including

requirements for life boats, rescue boats and life jackets according to type of ship. The International

Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code gives specific technical requirements for LSAs and is mandatory

under Regulation 34, which states that all life-saving appliances and arrangements shall comply with

the applicable requirements of the LSA Code.

Chapter IV - Radiocommunications

The Chapter incorporates the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). All passenger

ships and all cargo ships of 300 gross tonnage and upwards on international voyages are required to

carry equipment designed to improve the chances of rescue following an accident, including satellite

emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs) and search and rescue transponders (SARTs)

for the location of the ship or survival craft.

Regulations in Chapter IV cover undertakings by contracting governments to provide

radiocommunication services as well as ship requirements for carriage of radiocommunications

equipment. The Chapter is closely linked to the Radio Regulations of the International

Telecommunication Union.


19/23

Chapter V - Safety of navigation

Chapter V identifies certain navigation safety services which should be provided by Contracting

Governments and sets forth provisions of an operational nature applicable in general to all ships on all

voyages. This is in contrast to the Convention as a whole, which only applies to certain classes of shipengaged on international voyages.

The subjects covered include the maintenance of meteorological services for ships; the ice patrol

service; routeing of ships; and the maintenance of search and rescue services.

This Chapter also includes a general obligation for masters to proceed to the assistance of those in

distress and for Contracting Governments to ensure that all ships shall be sufficiently and efficiently

manned from a safety point of view.

The chapter makes mandatory the carriage of voyage data recorders (VDRs) and automatic ship

identification systems (AIS).

Chapter VI - Carriage of Cargoes

The Chapter covers all types of cargo (except liquids and gases in bulk) "which, owing to their

particular hazards to ships or persons on board, may require special precautions". The regulations

include requirements for stowage and securing of cargo or cargo units (such as containers). The

Chapter requires cargo ships carrying grain to comply with the International Grain Code.

Chapter VII - Carriage of dangerous goodsThe regulations are contained in three parts:

Part A - Carriage of dangerous goods in packaged form - includes provisions for the classification,

packing, marking, labelling and placarding, documentation and stowage of dangerous goods.

Contracting Governments are required to issue instructions at the national level and the Chapter

makes mandatory the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, developed by IMO,

which is constantly updated to accommodate new dangerous goods and to supplement or revise

existing provisions.

Part A-1 - Carriage of dangerous goods in solid form in bulk - covers the documentation, stowage and

segregation requirements for these goods and requires reporting of incidents involving such goods.

Part B covers Construction and equipment of ships carrying dangerous liquid chemicals in bulk and

requires chemical tankers to comply with the International Bulk Chemical Code (IBC Code).

Part C covers Construction and equipment of ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk and gas carriers to

comply with the requirements of the International Gas Carrier Code (IGC Code).

Part D includes special requirements for the carriage of packaged irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium

and high-level radioactive wastes on board ships and requires ships carrying such products to comply


20/23

with the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Packaged Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, Plutonium and

High-Level Radioactive Wastes on Board Ships (INF Code).

The chapter requires carriage of dangerous goods to be in compliance with the relevant provisions of

the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).

Chapter VIII - Nuclear ships

Gives basic requirements for nuclear-powered ships and is particularly concerned with radiation

hazards. It refers to detailed and comprehensive Code of Safety for Nuclear Merchant Ships which

was adopted by the IMO Assembly in 1981.

Chapter IX - Management for the Safe Operation of Ships

The Chapter makes mandatory the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which requires a

safety management system to be established by the shipowner or any person who has assumed

responsibility for the ship (the "Company").

Chapter X - Safety measures for high-speed craft

The Chapter makes mandatory the International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft (HSC Code).

Chapter XI-1 - Special measures to enhance maritime safety

The Chapter clarifies requirements relating to authorization of recognized organizations (responsible

for carrying out surveys and inspections on Administrations' behalves); enhanced surveys; ship

identification number scheme; and port State control on operational requirements.

Chapter XI-2 - Special measures to enhance maritime security

Regulation XI-2/3 of the chapter enshrines the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code

(ISPS Code). Part A of the Code is mandatory and part B contains guidance as to how best to comply

with the mandatory requirements. Regulation XI-2/8 confirms the role of the Master in exercising his

professional judgement over decisions necessary to maintain the security of the ship. It says he shall

not be constrained by the Company, the charterer or any other person in this respect.

Regulation XI-2/5 requires all ships to be provided with a ship security alert system. ,Regulation XI-

2/6 covers requirements for port facilities, providing among other things for Contracting Governments

to ensure that port facility security assessments are carried out and that port facility security plans

are developed, implemented and reviewed in accordance with the ISPS Code.Other regulations in this

chapter cover the provision of information to IMO, the control of ships in port, (including measures

such as the delay, detention, restriction of operations including movement within the port, or

expulsion of a ship from port), and the specific responsibility of Companies.

Chapter XII - Additional safety measures for bulk carriers

The Chapter includes structural requirements for bulk carriers over 150 metres in length.
