SECTION 2 B ULK C ARRIERS AND C OMBINATION C ARRIERS OF S INGLE S IDE S KIN C ONSTRUCTION
1 General
1.1 Application
1.1.1 (1/7/2006)The requirements of this Section apply to all self-propelled bulk carriers other than double skin bulk carriers as defined in Sec 9. These ships are assigned with one of the following service notations:
• bulk carrier ESP
• bulk carrier ESP CSR
• combination carrier/OBO ESP (see Note 1)
• combination carrier/OOC ESP (see Note 1)
Note 1: For single skin combination carriers additional require-ments are specified in Sec 3.
1.1.2 (1/7/2006)
The requirements apply to the surveys of the hull structure and piping systems in way of cargo holds, cofferdams, pipe tunnels, fuel oil tanks and void spaces within the cargo length area and all salt water ballast tanks. They are addi-tional to the requirements applicable to the remainder of the ship, given in Chapter 3 according to the relevant sur-veys.
1.1.3 The requirements contain the minimum extent of examination, thickness measurements and tank testing.
When substantial corrosion, as defined in Ch 2, Sec 2, [2.2.7], and/or structural defects are found, the survey is to be extended and is to include additional close-up surveys when necessary.
1.1.4 (1/7/2004)
Ships required to comply with the provisions in Ch 6, App 1 are subject to the additional thickness measurement guid-ance in Ch 6, Sec 2, [1.3] for the vertically corrugated trans-verse watertight bulkhead between cargo holds Nos. 1 and 2 for purposes of determining compliance with Ch 6, App 1 prior to the relevant compliance deadline stipulated in Ch 6, Sec 2, [1.2] and at subsequent intermediate surveys (for ships over 10 years of age) and special surveys for pur-poses of verifying continuing compliance with Ch 6, App 1.
1.1.5 (1/7/2004)
Ships required to comply with the provisions in Ch 6, Sec 2, [7] are subject to the additional thickness measurement guidance in Ch 6, App 2 for side shell frames and brackets for the purposes of determining compliance with Ch 6, Sec 2, [7] prior to the relevant compliance deadline stipu-lated in Ch 6, Sec 2, [7] and at subsequent intermediate and
special surveys for purposes of verifying continuing compli-ance with Ch 6, Sec 2, [7].
1.1.6 (1/1/2003)
When, in any survey, thickness measurements are required :
• the procedure detailed in Ch 2, Sec 2, [2.3] is to be applied
• the thickness measurement company is to be part of the survey planning meeting held prior to commencing the survey.
1.1.7 (1/7/2006)
Special consideration may be given to the extent of close-up surveys and/or thickness measurements in cargo holds as required below for class renewal, intermediate or annual surveys, when all internal and external surfaces of hatch coamings and hatch covers, and all internal surfaces of the cargo holds, excluding the flat tank top areas and the hop-per tank sloped plating approximately 300 mm below the side shell frame end brackets, have protective coating in good condition.
The above special consideration may also be given to exist-ing bulk carriers, where Owners elect to coat or re-coat cargo holds, in accordance with the Manufacturers’ recom-mendations. However, prior to re-coating the cargo holds, scantlings are to be assessed in the presence of a Surveyor of the Society.
1.1.8 (1/7/2006)
For bulk carriers with hybrid cargo hold arrangements, e.g.
with some cargo holds of single side skin and others of dou-ble side skin, the requirements of Sec 9 are to apply to cargo holds of double side skin and associated wing spaces.
1.2 Documentation on board
1.2.1 The Owner is to supply and maintain documentation on board as specified in [1.2.2] and [1.2.3], which is to be readily available for examination by the Surveyor.
The documentation is to be kept on board for the lifetime of the ship.
1.2.2 A survey report file is to be a part of the documenta-tion on board consisting of:
• reports of structural surveys
• hull condition evaluation report (summarising the results of class renewal surveys)
• thickness measurement reports.
The survey report file is also to be available in the Owner's management office.
1.2.3 (1/1/2008)
The following additional supporting documentation is to be available on board:
• survey program, as required in [4.1], until such time as the class renewal survey or the intermediate survey, as applicable, has been completed
• main structural plans of cargo holds and ballast tanks
• previous repair history
• cargo and ballast history
• ship’s personnel reports on:
- structural deterioration/defects in general - leakage in bulkheads and piping systems
- condition of coatings or corrosion prevention sys-tems, if any
• any other information that may help to identify critical structural areas and/or suspect areas requiring inspec-tion.
1.2.4 Prior to survey, the Surveyor examines the documen-tation on board and its contents, which are used as a basis for the survey.
1.3 Reporting and evaluation of surveys
1.3.1 The data and information on the structural condition of the ship collected during survey are evaluated for accept-ability and structural integrity of the ship's cargo area.1.3.2 (1/7/2006)
For ships subject to the requirements of this Section, the sur-veys of hull structure and piping systems are reported in conformance to the Survey Reporting Principles laid down in App 1.
1.3.3 A hull condition evaluation report (summarising the results of class renewal surveys) is issued by the Society to the Owner, who is to place it on board the ship for refer-ence at future surveys. The hull condition evaluation report is endorsed by the Society.
1.4 Access to structures
1.4.1 (1/1/2007)For overall surveys, means are to be provided to enable the Surveyor to examine the hull structure in a safe and practi-cal way.
1.4.2 (1/1/2007)
For close-up surveys of the hull structure, other than cargo hold shell frames, one or more of the following means for access, acceptable to the Surveyor, are to be provided:
• permanent staging and passages through structures;
• temporary staging and passages through structures;
• lifts and movable platforms;
• boats or rafts;
• portable ladders;
• other equivalent means.
1.4.3 (1/7/2008)
For close-up surveys of the cargo hold shell frames of bulk carriers less than 100000 dwt, one or more of the following
means for access, acceptable to the Surveyor, are to be pro-vided:
• permanent staging and passages through structures;
• temporary staging and passages through structures;
• portable ladder restricted to not more than 5 m in length may be accepted for surveys of lower section of a shell frame including bracket;
• hydraulic arm vehicles such as conventional cherry pickers, lifts and movable platforms;
• boats or rafts provided the structural capacity of the hold is sufficient to withstand static loads at all levels of water;
• other equivalent means.
1.4.4 (1/7/2008)
For close-up surveys of the cargo hold shell frames of bulk carriers of 100000 dwt and above, the use of portable lad-ders is not accepted, and one or more of the following means for access, acceptable to the Surveyor, are to be pro-vided:
a) Annual surveys, intermediate survey under 10 years of age and class renewal survey no. 1:
• permanent staging and passages through structures;
• temporary staging and passages through structures;
• hydraulic arm vehicles such as conventional cherry pickers, lifts and movable platforms;
• boats or rafts provided the structural capacity of the hold is sufficient to withstand static loads at all lev-els of water;
• other equivalent means.
b) Subsequent intermediate surveys and class renewal sur-veys:
• either permanent or temporary staging and passage through structures for close-up survey of at least the upper part of hold frames;
• hydraulic arm vehicles such as conventional cherry pickers for surveys of lower and middle parts of shell frames as an alternative to staging;
• lifts and movable platforms;
• boats or rafts provided the structural capacity of the hold is sufficient to withstand static loads at all lev-els of water;
• other equivalent means.
Notwithstanding the above requirements, the use of a porta-ble ladder fitted with a mechanical device to secure the upper end of the ladder is acceptable for the "close-up examination of sufficient extent, minimum 25% of frames, to establish the condition of the lower region of the shell frames including approx. lower one third length of side frame at side shell and side frame end attachment and the adjacent shell plating" as required in the forward cargo hold at annual surveys of ships between 10 and 15 years of age (see [2.4.1] b)) and as required in the forward cargo hold and one other selected cargo hold at annual surveys of ships over 15 years of age (see [2.4.2] b)).
