1. Technical Specification

1.1. General description

The emergency towing system is designed to satisfy the requirements of

IMO resolution MSC. 35(63) 20 May 1994, resolution MSC. 132(75) 22 May
2002 and supplementary requirements given by the classification societies.

The main reason for having the Emergency Towing System installed onboard
in a tanker, is to have the possibility to make a safe and quick connection
through a permanent installed towing wire, to a tugboat, if an emergency
situation should occur.

 The pick-up gear can easily be deployed by one man within 15minutes.

 The buoy with flashing light makes the pick-up gear easy to find and

pick up by the tugboat.

 The arrangements should at all times be capable of rapid deployment

in the absence of main power on the ship to be towed and easy

connection to the towing vessel.

2. Installation method

2.1. Installation of the towing pennant

① Dismantle the cover and wire lock from the Fairlead & strongpoint.

② Feed the socket of the towing pennant through the front opening of the

Fairlead & strongpoint.

③ Insert the wire into the wire slot of the Fairlead & strongpoint and replace

the wire lock and cover. (Tighten the screws properly)

 31/59

5 User Manual for Emergency Towing System

④ Remove the cover on the end of the centrifugal brake and install the air

motor.

⑤ Spool the retrieval wire on the smallest storage side of the drum.

⑥ When the stopper socket of the wire pennant is resting properly on the

drum, guide the towing pennant through the split flange to largest storage

side of the drum.

Note!

The supply pressure to the air motor could use to 6 – 8 bar.

⑦ The spelter socket of towing pennant will be stored in the Fairlead &

strongpoint.

⑧ Connect the securing device, consisting of turnbuckle, weak link and

shackles, between the drum flange and the foundation.

⑨ Adjust the length of safety clamp by moving the shackle to an adjacent hole

on the drum flange and tighten the turnbuckle. This will secure the drum

from being able to rotate due to any pull in the wire.

⑩ Remove the air motor and replace the brake cover.

 Please check the condition of the lining pad when every a year or

using more than 3 times and the lining pad must be replaced if the

lining pad is worn out.

 Centrifugal brakes use centrifugal forces to limit speed. As the brakes are

based on a physical principle, centrifugal brakes do not require any

additional external power supply.

 Centrifugal brakes consist of a driving shaft with flyweights mounted

around it. Flyweights are kept on the shaft by springs, on the outer side

of the flyweights there are friction pads.

3.2.3. Air motor

1) General

The air motor is used to wind towing rope on the storage drum and its

maximum torque is 34.3 kg .m and its air pressure is 6 bar.

Note!

Reduction gear attacked in the air motor and storage drum shall be damaged if

the air pressure is more than 9 bar.

2) Operation and lubrication

① Before connection the motor, blow out the air tube so as to remove all dirt.

② The attached oiler should be refilled both before starting up and from time

to time during operation with light weight lubricating oil SAE 10 free from

resins and acids. If the motor is not working to capacity, clean the screen,

grease the motor and, if necessary, change slides. Take care that the slides

do not protrude over the rotor and brake off the motor.

③ Do not run the machine idle unnecessarily because this would increase wear

and heat up the machine.

④ It should be noted that the flow pressure of the compressed air at the take-

off point is at least 85 psi, and that air line and air tube have adequately

large sectional areas and are designed without restricting elements (the

main cause of reduced efficiency).

⑤ If the motor gets dirtied, it should be thoroughly washed out with petroleum

and then greased once again. Depending on the use of the motor, the

grease nipples should be greased weekly by means of a grease gun with

antifriction bearing lubricant.

* Caution. Air motor should be tested every 3 months.

4. OPERATION INSTRUCTION

4.1. Deployment procedures in Emergency

Emergency towing system is always ready for deployment at any time when
properly installed and maintained.

① Take the locking bolt of the storage box out and pull the door lever.

② The pick-up gear is falling freely into the sea when door open.

③ The lights on the buoy are turn on.

④ As soon as the pick-up gear is in the sea, it can be picked up by a tugboat.

 43/59

17 User Manual for Emergency Towing System

⑤ When the tugboat has made fast connection, it can start pulling out the

pick-up gear.

⑥ When pick-up gear is pulled, the safety clamp(weak link) in the storage drum

us broken and towing pennant starts to be unwound.

 Safety clamp(weak link) shall be automatically broken when about 3

ton of tension is applied.)

 Towing pennant will fall out by its own weight, controlled by the

centrifugal brake fitted to the storage drum

 WARNING !!

The tug boat should never pull out the towing pennant by using

engine power. After breaking the safety clamp(weak link) the tug boat

should let the towing pennant run out by its own weight until the

stopper socket is resting against the strong point.

⑦ Start towing, when the stopper socket is rested on the strong point and the

spelter socket is fixed on the tug boat.

 44/59

18 User Manual for Emergency Towing System

4.2. Deployment procedures for Test

The following test procedure is for demonstrating a correct and safe deployment

of the pick-up gear and towing wire.

1) Storage drum.

 Remove the safety clamp(weak link).

2) Go to storage box.

 Take the locking bolt of the storage box out.

 Grip the door lever and lift it.

 The pick-up gear is falling freely into the sea when door open.

 The lights on the buoy are turn on.

3) When all contents from the storage box is in the sea, give the towing pennant

or storage drum a slight push till it starts turning by the towing pennant’s own

weights.

 Warning

To avoid injury to the operator, keep away from the free falling towing pennant.

4) Leave the storage drum unattended until the towing wire is completely

deployed and the end socket hits the strong point.

 Observe the pay-out speed is proper and controlled.

5) The stopper socket of towing pennant will be rested on the strong point

6) Retrieve the towing pennant by following the retrieval procedure.

 45/59

19 User Manual for Emergency Towing System

4.3. Retrieval procedure

① Remove the cover on the end of the centrifugal brake on the storage drum
and install the air motor.

② Drive air motor by supplying air whose pressure is below 8 bar.

③ Spool the retrieval wire on the smallest storage part of the drum.

④ When the stopper socket of the wire is resting properly on the drum, guide
the towing wire through the split flange to the largest storage side of the
drum.

⑤ Spool the towing wire on the drum and monitor that correct spooling is
obtained.
