Page 8 of 162
000.08 Fuel oil quality
The systems of the vessel are designed to run on DMA grade low sulphur fuel oil.
Reference is made to ISO 8217.
000.09 Definitions
This specification describes the hull, equipment and machinery of the vessel.
The following words and/or expressions used in this specification have the meaning as
defined hereinafter:
Vessel The vessel as described in this specification
Owner The corporate body or legal person who will have
Ownership of the vessel.
Builder X Shipyards, its licensee
Builder's standards Way of construction and/or outfitting as
customary at Builder's yard.
Standard execution The execution of the vessel, built and equipped

in this specification.
Or equivalent Substitution by equivalent equipment of different
Manufacturer as may be regulated by availability.
000.10 Quality policy
A Total Quality Management Program (TQM) is adopted to every facet of X Shipyards
operations. The quality of X Shipyards organisation and products is continuously
maintained and upgraded.
The Quality Management system of X Shipyards has been approved by Lloyd’s
Register Quality Assurance Limited to the ISO 9001: 2008 standards. This is
applicable to design, construction and delivery of ships, including after-sales services
and the delivery of prefabricated shipbuilding kits.
000.11 Environmental awareness
X Shipyards is committed to ensure continuous improvement of the products and
production methods with the objective to reduce the environmental impact. X is duly
focussing on optimizing its design and constantly working on environmentally relevant
product innovations.
Page 9 of 162
In addition progressive actions have been taken to reduce the environmental impacts
of our facilities and to bring awareness to our employees in relation to every day’s
activities.
X Shipyards has been approved by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance to the ISO
14001: 2004 standards.
000.12 Workmanship
The workmanship of the hull and fittings throughout is of good normal marine practice,
care being taken to ensure fair lines, smooth surfaces and neat welding in accordance
with good shipyard practice and the latest IACS standards.
Many procedures and design criteria have been standardised and laid down in X hand
books. The handbooks will serve as guidance in cases where no other, more specific,
criteria or procedures are in place. However, this specification will be governing above
the handbooks.
000.13 Materials

Page 11 of 162
All plates, bars and profiles are well and cleanly rolled, straight and free from cracks,
surface flaws, laminations, roughness and other defects.
Castings are of good quality, close grained, free from cracks, blowholes and other
defects.
000.14 Makers list
The makers list is enclosed in annex 02.
If the Owner prefers a particular supplier/make other than mentioned in the makers list
and should the Owner's preference involve a cost change and/or other changes in
delivery time or technical performance, the Builder will inform the Owner accordingly.
The Builder may propose equal suppliers. The Owner may take exception to any such
supplier after substantiated reasons in writing.
The Builder is free to choose any of the proposed suppliers to which the Owner has not
taken exception.
000.15 Modifications
The Owner has the right to ask for modifications during construction of the Vessel.
Such modifications are settled in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
contract between the Owner and the Builder (Variation to Contract (VTC) procedure).
The Builder has the right to modify constructions and/or designs prior to the date of
order of the Vessel, provided such modifications do not affect the intent of this
specification.
000.16 Delivery
The Vessel is delivered ex-yard to the Owner as per contract.
000.17 Dynamic positioning
The vessel is provided with a DP2 system compliant with the Class notation as
specified in section 030. The following ern number is calculated by the X Research
department:
o ERN (99, 98, 81, 62).
All DP related systems and equipment are separated into two independent
Redundancy groups (“half-ship” philosophy). Equipment belonging to one redundancy
group does not have any direct supplies from the other redundancy group. This means
Page 12 of 162
that for instance main and backup supplies for equipment are taken from the same
redundancy group (no crossing of redundancy groups).
In addition due consideration is made to have a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
design philosophy resulting in a vessel with high reliability.
The Worst Case Failure Design Intent (WCFDI) will be the loss of 1 main busbar
resulting in the loss of the forward bowthruster and 1 azimuthing thruster.
A Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) of the DP system (power station, thrusters
and control systems) is performed by a renowned third party which is an IMCA
member. The FMEA supplier will be appointed as fast as possible after contract.
The FMEA will be performed according to IMCA guidelines and Class requirement.
030 Classification and certificates 031 Classification society
The vessel is built under supervision and in accordance with the rules and regulations
of Lloyd’s Register.

042 Provisions for harbour tests 042.01 Yard testing
All tanks, piping systems and main hull compartments are tested for oil and water
tightness to Classification society requirements prior to paint application.
Water tightness of exterior doors, windows and hatch covers are tested by means of
hose testing.
042.02 Harbour Acceptance Trials (HAT)
The HAT’s are held in accordance with the commissioning program.
The trials include:
o Inclining test;
o Main generators;
o Piping systems, valves and cocks;
o Auxiliary machinery;
o HVAC systems;
o Electrical systems, incl. alarm & control systems;
o Deck machinery;
o Hydraulic systems;

the test will not be carried out at the same time. Inclination will be as per IS Code.
Page 18 of 162
043 Provisions for sea trials 043.01 Sea Acceptance Trials (SAT)
A separate SAT program is submitted to the Owner for approval at least one month
before the scheduled trial date.
Approx. 3-4 weeks prior to the delivery of the vessel, technical sea trials are carried out
in order to determine the vessel's performances, according to Class requirements and
this specification.
The SAT includes:
o Speed trials;
o Endurance trials (4 hours);
o Steering trials;
o Manoeuvring trials;
o DP trials;
o Anchor trials;

Speed trials
The speed of the vessel is measured during sea trials under the following conditions:
o Propulsion motors running at 100% (75%, 50%) MCR
o Minimum water depth of 5 times Vessels draft;
o Clean hull and propeller;
The measured maximum free running speed is determined as the "mean of means"
out of results of minimal three opposite runs, to approval of the Owner. Additional two
other speeds, at approx. 75% and 50% MCR, are measured by performing one
opposite runs per speed.
Speed is measured by means of DGPS.
In case the conditions of the Vessel and/or the weather differ, a suitable calculation is
made to present the results in accordance with the above stated conditions.
Manoeuvring trials
The following tests will be carried out to check the manoeuvrability of the Vessel:
o Crash stop ahead:
Page 19 of 162
− Full speed ahead : Full astern;
− Half speed ahead : Full astern;
o Turning circle test;
o Zig-zag manoeuvring test (10'/10', 20'/20');
o Man overboard turn test.
Tests will be performed in accordance with IMO resolution MSC.137 (76).
Noise and vibration measurements
Vibration measurements on main systems and components will be carried out under
the following conditions:
o Free sailing at maximum speed;
Vibration criteria according section 030 will apply during all measured conditions.
For vibration measuring procedures in accommodation areas, ISO 6954 (2000) is
adhered to.
Noise measurements in accommodation spaces and working spaces will be carried out
under the following conditions:
o Free sailing at 100% MCR;
o DP-mode with main propellers running on 40% MCR and side thrusters each
running on 40% MCR.
