Internal- Chaki
Type of ship. I told chemical. He asked only chemical??i told oil and chemical
1.Do u had IGG System?yes
So tell what all checks,alarms,trips u do in engine room related to IGG before arrival.
Now u tell all things to check on deck. Cross question on location of emergency trip. I
told at manifold port and stbd side, near pump room(this automatically came from my
mouth, however i dont know), ccr. Then he verified that 4 emergency stop! I smelled
something fishy from his voice. I justified my answer by sayin on my 2 ships only 3 but
one ship had also at pump room
2. Safety equipment survey specifically in engine room.
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

I mentioned emergency generator also. After telling all things he asked what u check on
Auxiliary engine. I told fo leak off alarm, sump low level alarm, lo low pressure trip, all
generator taken to be on load whether
working fine or not.
3. Fo overflow during bunker. I confirmed by saying fuel oil is already on deck. Then he
told 3rd engr and motorman on manifold, they asked barge to stop. Bunkering is
already stopped. Now your action(he did not specify my rank) .I assumed myself as 2nd
engineer. I told many Sopep equipment, reason of overflow, overflow tank transfer bla
bla. Clean up party, announcement in accomodation for extra man power needed . I did
not want to stop so i dive into reason and overflow tank transfer alarms bla bla, ,. Then
he stopped and asked u have sailed on many chemical tankers and u connect wilden
pump to slop tank but why u did not mention it . Then i repeated "sir as i mentioned
wilden pump earlier i will start wilden pump and start transfering😊 he told me no , u
didnt mention. I put my face expression in sorrow mode
4. Shell expansion plan- i explained all keel plate, garboard sheer starke, a b c d
lettering , 1 ,2, 3...numbering, any openings, watertight doors. Detailed view. He was
asking what else. U only told zbout plates. Then again i repeated opening , doors, db
tank plugs , sea chest gratings, overboard valves locations, strenthening members
Then moved to next questions
5. Tell life boat davit safety- i told two limit switch, deadman handle, safety harbour
pin. I did not want to tell others as mentioned in ashish sehgal and ankur sharma notes.
Then immediately he asked where limit switch located. I toldOn both arms of davit,
microswitch is located, at approx 10-15 cm distance it will cut off power of motor.
Value i could not recall exactly as i read somewhere in inch. So i guessed it will be
around 10-15cm and told him. Then if limit swithch wont work,mechanical stopper will
be there with thick rubber cushion. I told all these as my policy was to continue
speaking whatever i know
Last ques- Explain GZ Curve- i told two Gz curve ,statical stabikity and Gz cross curve of
stability. However whenever we talk about gz curver usually it is curve of statical
stability. I started explaining it. As soon as reached point of conflexture he understood
that i know properly. So oral finished.
I think one more question. Oral was longer.

Framo system related questions in safety

Purging
Swash plate working
Type of motor used
STC valve function (Speed torque control)
Safety in framo
The common location of emergency stop of pumps
A. Cargo control room
B. Manifold port side
C. Manifold starboard side
D. At the power location
https://www.myseatime.com/blog/detail/a-basic-but-helpful-guide-on-framo-system

STC- More the flow of pressurised oil to the hydraulic motor, more speed the impeller
will rotate.STC of the pump controls the speed of the pump by allowing only the
required amount of hydraulic oil to pass through to the hydraulic motor.STC also
prevent the pump to overspeed by controlling the amount of oil to the hydraulic motor
of the pump.There are two ways to control the speed of the pump through STC. 1.
From the local control on the STC 2.From the cargo control room
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

Hydraulic motor---In FRAMO system, this energy is provided by the Hydraulic motor
using the pressurised hydraulic oil.Hydraulic motor converts pressure energy of high
hydraulic oil pressure to rotational energy to rotate the impeller.High pressure oil
enters the motor. It rotates the shaft and low pressure oil leaves the motor.In Framo
system, you will not be able to see the hydraulic motor as it is placed in the outer
casing.And there are no serviceable parts in a Framo hydraulic motor.
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

Purging procedure of Framo pump

Seal leakage -0.5 litre/day, 2 litre/day, 0.25 litre/day
Framo cargo pump is designed for any cargo temperature prevailing in tankers. The
pump is continuosly temperature controlled by the circulating hydraulic drive oil.
The Framo cargo seal arrangement is exposed to static cargo tank pressure only.
Stripping (left image)
When the cargo tank is empty, the speed of the cargo pump is reduced to perform the
final stripping of tank:
 Close the cargo valve.
 Open the small ball valve on the stripping line.
 Pressurize the pipe stack by connecting the purging hose with compressed air or
nitrogen.
 Press cargo out through the stripping line and into the cargo line.
The pump impeller rotates and acts as a non-return valve to prevent cargo from
returning back to tank.
Purging and seal monitoring from deck level (center image)
The pump’s cofferdam is purged before and after discharge operation. Any leakage
across the cargo seals or hydraulic oil seals collected in the cofferdam, will be forced to
the exhaust trap on deck where it can be measured.
This is a simple and reliable seal condition monitoring system. No need for any electric
sensors nor any automatic control system.
Vacuum drain (right image)
The standard Framo cargo pump design meets all applicable rules for stripping under
the IMO Annex II requirements.
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

However, as an option, the Framo cargo pump can be equipped with a vacuum drain
line that will empty suction well completely and allow for a dry tank top and quick re-
loading of cargo.

How nitrogen is produced in IG

Chemical tankers, gas carriers and reefer ships need clean, dry nitrogen for inerting,
purging and cargo padding.There are two main types of nitrogen generators. One type
uses hollow fiber membrane technology and other one is based on the Pressure Swing
Absorption (PSA) process. Inert gas generators can produce nitrogen too. Molecular
sieves remove the CO2 present in the inert gas.
Membrane technology –Selective permeation is the general principle behind a
membrane system. Each gas has a characteristic permeation rate that is a function of
its ability to dissolve and diffuse through a membrane. The “fast” gases, O2, H2O,
CO2 permeate through the membrane wall much faster than the “slow” gases, thus
separating the original mixture into two streams. The driving force of the separation
process is the differential partial pressure, which is created between the compressed
feed airside and the low-pressure side of the membranes.

FONAR
Regulation 18.2 of MARPOL Annex VI describes what to do in case a ship is not able
to get the required fuel as per MARPOL. This includes:

 Notify your flag state and the port authority at the next port of call
 Provide a description of actions taken to attempt to achieve compliance
 Provide evidence that you attempted to purchase compliant fuel oil in
accordance with the ship’s voyage plan and, if it was not made available where
planned, that attempts were made to locate alternative sources for such fuel oil and
that despite best efforts to obtain compliant fuel oil, no such fuel oil was made
available for purchase
The FONAR (Fuel Oil Non-Availability Report) form was later developed by the IMO
and is meant to capture the information above. The ship should not be required to
deviate from its intended voyage or to delay unduly the voyage in order to achieve
compliance.
Even if a FONAR is accepted, the disadvantages and hassle following a FONAR
situation may in many cases outweigh possible benefits from using cheaper non-
compliant fuel.
The second responsibility of the port states is to notify IMO when any vessel has
submitted FONAR. IMO assesses the situation of fuel availability based on the FONARs
that it receives.
Recommendations

As soon as it becomes evident that compliant fuel will not be available for the next
voyage, it is important to notify the next port of call and the flag administration
directly (and not to class) without any delay about the situation and circumstances by
submitting a FONAR. The FONAR shall provide the necessary evidence and
justification for bunkering non-compliant fuel.

IMO vs USCG Ballast water convention differences

The USCG evaluates BWM system performance using a test which measures the
number of living organisms after treatment (FDA/CMFDA method). On the other hand,
the IMO evaluates UV-based BWM systems by determining whether the treated
organisms are viable or non-viable, i.e. whether they capable of reproducing. If they
cannot reproduce, IMO determines that the organisms do not pose a threat of
becoming invasive species. The organisms’ ability to reproduce is measured with the
MPN (most probable number) method.
IMO BWM convention effectively spells out two performance standards: the D1
standard, which addresses the appropriate volumes of ballast water exchanged, and
the D2 standard which covers approved ballast water treatment systems and specifies
levels of viable organisms left in the water after treatment.
On the other hand, USCG legislation, which became effective in June 2012, applies to
any ships planning to discharge ballast water in US waters, and comes with its own
exchange or treatment operations as well as sediment management guidance
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

The D2 standard is one of the few similarities between IMO’s and USCG’s otherwise
distinct regulations, as both specify the same number of permitted organisms that can
be carried and discharged.
“USCG regulation asks that any organisms dumped into their waters be already dead,
whereas IMO refers to “viable” organisms.”, meaning those who cannot survive the
transition or are unable to reproduce in the new environment.
The USCG also requires a management plan, clean ballast tanks free from sediments,
and a report to be submitted to the US authorities 24 hours before arriving at a US port.

https://maritime-executive.com/features/six-questions-about-ballast-water-
management-answered

Advantages of CPP
1. Improved Maneuverability.
2. Full ahead to astern in 12 seconds.
3. Lower ship speed can be obtained.
4. Crash stop feature.
5. Improved water flow into the rudder.
6. Full engine power available for astern movements.
7. Fewer engine starts.
8. Low thermal.load on engine.
9. Less engine wear.
10. Less stern tube bearing wear.
11. Lower starting air comsumption.
12. No requirement for reversing gear.
13. Higher engine efficiency
14. Pitch adjustable for hull fouling and different sea conditions
15. Engine power and speeds can be altered to stay clear of T/C surging zones

Disadvantages of CPP
1. Propellor heavier which will increase stress on tail shaft and stern tube bearings
2. Survey period reduced by 1 year
3. Additional cost during survey
4. Lower propellor efficiency due to large dia hub versus propeller diameter
5. Drop in efficiency range from 2 to 3 percent.
6. Increased risk of breakdown due to system dependence and
7. greater chance of cavitation damage on propellor blades

Gunwale
The gunwale is the top edge of the hull of a ship or boat.
Originally the structure was the "gun wale" on a sailing warship, a horizontal reinforcing
band added at and above the level of a gun deck to offset the stresses created by
firing artillery. Over time it remained as a valuable stiffener mounted inboard of
the sheer strake on commercial and recreational craft. In modern boats, it is the top
edge of the hull where there is usually some form of stiffening, often in the form of
traditional wooden boat construction members called the "inwale" and "outwale".
On a canoe, the gunwale is typically the widened edge at the top of its hull, reinforced
with wood, plastic or aluminum, to carry the thwarts.
On a narrowboat or canal boat, the gunwale is synonymous with the side deck- a
narrow ledge running the full length of the craft.

Safety in product tanker to avoid mixing of cargoes.

Non return valve
Difference in IG Line in product and crude tanker
Crude tanker- single/homogenouis type of cargo. No need of grouping of tanks. All tank
vent line meet in common line leading to Mast riser. Mast riser is used only at sea and
not in port. In cast of mast riser fire first flood CO2 Bottle(2-bottles are provided and
separate line is there for fire fighting by co2), Then only close the mast riser valve and
not vice versa otherwise surveyor will kick u out.
All tanks will have pv valve and common line have pv breaker.
Product tanker- grouping of tanks to carry different cargoes.. E.g. total 12 tanks. 3-
types of cargo can be carried. So in one group there will be 4-tanks. This also have only
one mast riser.
In this case there will be 3-lines (separately common) corresponding to 3-groups and
all three will join together and become one line then leading to mast riser. All tanks
have pv vv, high velocity vent, and in all 3 common lines have pv breaker.

Which gas in engine room for fire fighting which u can still breathe
Not-nitrogen- don’t say this
Novac-1230
What is Novec 1230?
Novec 1230, scientifically known as 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-Nonafluoro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)-3-
Pentanone is a fluorinated ketone. It is used as a clean agent in fire suppression
systems and has fast emerged as one of the most popular Clean Agent options globally.

How does it work?

It is used as a gaseous suppression agent in places where water or CO2 based
extinguishers would be impractical. The Novec 1230 is stored as a non-toxic, colorless
liquid which converts into a gas when discharged and removes the heat from the fire,
thereby extinguishing it. Usually employed in fixed fire safety systems, Novec 1230 is
also used in portable extinguishers for specialized applications.

Once expelled into the environment, Novec 1230 exhibits strong absorption of energy
at near UV wavelengths, resulting in a very short atmospheric lifetime. Thus, photolysis
is the main atmospheric sink for the compound, resulting in the gas getting completely
dispersed within 5 days to a week. Being a clean agent, of course, it does not leave any
residue, damage any assets or harm the environment in any way.

How is it different from other Clean Agent FSS?how breathable?

MARVS are installed, they should be installed under the supervision of the captain and
must be entered in the vessel’s log. After they’re installed, they have tamper seals that
are in place and must remain intact. Many times, marine inspectors find that these
tamper seals or settings are incorrect.

A Declaration of Security (DOS) is a declaration that addresses the security

requirements that could be shared between a port facility and a ship (or between ships)
and will state the responsibility for security each shall take.
It is an agreement between both partieS. The DoS is effectively a contract between a
ship and a port facility or a ship and another ship that confirms the security
responsibilities of each party during the ship/ship interface or ship/port interface. On an
operational basis, a DoS may be requested by either a PFSO or SSO within the terms of
the ISPS code

Ships must have available copies of any DoS from the last ten calls at port facilities
(including ship-to-ship interfaces) for inspection by officers duly authorised by a port
facility’s Government. This should be kept with any other information about its last ten
calls at port facilities (see ISPS Code Part B paragraphs 4.37 and 4.38).

Who completes the declaration of Security?

 The master or the ship security officer on behalf of the ship(s); and, if
appropriate,
 The port facility security officer or, if the Contracting Government determines
otherwise, by any other body responsible for shore-side security, on behalf of the
port facility

What determines if a Declaration of Security is required?

 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

A Government shall determine when a Declaration of Security is required by assessing

the risk the ship/port interface or ship to ship activity poses

A ship can request completion of a Declaration of Security when:

 The ship is operating at a higher security level than the port facility or another
ship
it is interfacing with
 There is an agreement on a Declaration of Security between Contracting
Governments covering certain international voyages or specific ships on those
voyages
 There has been a security threat or a security incident involving the ship or
involving the port facility
 The ship is at a port which is not required to have and implement an approved
port
facility security plan
 The ship is conducting ship to ship activities with another ship not required to
have and implement an approved ship security plan

Condition of assignment
These are the conditions which must be met before free board is assigned to a ship and
load line certificate is issued following a load line survey.Free boards are computed
assuming ship to be a completely enclosed and water tight / weather tight envelop. The
convention then goes onto recognize the practical need for opening in the ship and
prescribes means of protection and closure of such openings. These are called
condition of assignment since the assignment of computed free board is conditional
upon the prescribed means of protection and closure of openings such as hatchways,
doorways, ventilation, air pipes, scuppers, etc. Following are the conditions which must
be met before assigning the load line.
Conditions are- DRIPSW
Drainage
Reserve buoyancy
Intact stability
Protection of crew

Human element vs Development of Safety Culture - ISM Code

The safety and security of life at sea, protection of the marine environment and over 80%
of the world's trade depends on the professionalism and competence of seafarers.
In 1997, IMO adopted a resolution setting out its vision, principles and goals for the
human element. The human element is a complex multi-dimensional issue that affects
maritime safety, security and marine environmental protection involving the entire
spectrum of human activities performed by ships' crews, shore-based management,
regulatory bodies and others. All need to co-operate to address human element issues
effectively.
ffective implementation of the ISM Code should lead to a move away from a culture of
"unthinking" compliance with external rules towards a culture of "thinking" self-
regulation of safety - the development of a “safety culture”, with every individual -
from the top to the bottom - feeling responsible for actions taken to improve safety
and performance. Application of the ISM Code should support and encourage the
development of a safety culture in shipping.
The human element is currently included within the overarching principles of the
Strategic Plan for the Organization for the six-year period 2018 to 2023 (resolution
A.1110(30)), which provides that the human element will be taken into account in the
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

review, development and implementation of new and existing requirements, including

skills, education and training, and human capabilities, limitations and needs; and that
IMO, in all aspects of its work, will take into account the needs and well-being of
seafarers.

The following is a non-exhaustive description of relevant human element-related

actions and initiatives currently being undertaken or planned to be undertaken by the
Organization:

1. comprehensive review of the STCW-F Convention;

2. analysis of implementation issues of the 1978 STCW Convention, as amended, with a

view to possibly initiating a comprehensive review of the Convention in the near future;

3. addressing the human element-related work emanating from the regulatory scoping
exercise on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS);

4. development of provisions for fair treatment of seafarers detained on suspicion of

committing a crime; and guidelines for port State authorities to deal with abandonment
cases;

5. development of training provisions for seafarers related to the BWM Convention;

6. development of harmonized electronic messages to encourage the automatic

exchange of information between ship and shore and the integration of the automatic
exchange of information in maritime single window systems;

7. actions emanating from the action plan to address marine plastic litter from ships;
and

8. several interagency partnerships initiatives with various UN Specialized Agencies,

mainly ILO.

Q. Air draft, critical draft, critical period related to drydock. Why it is called critical.
Plum lines,Leica theodolite, Docking Plans
Whenever a vessel proceeds to Dry Dock, every Dry Dock facility (whether floating or
fixed) have certain requirements which normally comes through the Docking Master.
Professionals expert in Docking and Undocking of vessels are called Docking Master.
These requirements can be with respect to certain draft, trim, amount of ballast, Air
draft or any other requirement or a combination of requirements. They will also
demand for the Docking Plan of the vessel.As a Master of the vessel, it is very
important to ensure that Docking condition of the vessel is calculated in advance and
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

ship’s meet the stability criteria during such operation. Docking condition normally
forms part of the vessel’s Trim and Stability Booklet and shall be carefully studied.

Air draft - Distance from water line to part of ship that is being considered, usually the
highest point.1. In case of crossing under bridges/wire cables etc - air draft is taken utpo
highest point of vessel that is usually the main mast top of bridge.2. In case of loading -
air draft used is the top of hatch coaming (for bulk carriers).For orals or exams - say
distance from waterline to the highest point on vessel.

A Critical Period is the interval of time from, when the stern of the vessel touches the
blocks to the time when the entire weight of the vessel is borne by the blocks (i.e. the
vessel sits completely on blocks). This period is very crucial and continuous monitoring
is required.The word ‘critical’ means something which has the potential to cause a
disaster. So, it is logical as to why the critical period is ‘critical.Also, vessel shall keep
minimum required trim so that the critical period is reduced to minimum.

The blocks (normally made of reinforced concrete having wood padding on top ) are
arranged throughout the dock prior arrival of the vessel to the dock. The position of
blocks is determined keeping in mind the length / breadth of the vessel and also the
position of Bottom plugs and Doppler/EM Log and Echo sounder sensor.

To keep the vessel aligned with the centerline of the dock normally a Leica theodolite is
used. Theodolite is a surveying equipment which is widely used to measure the
horizontal and vertical angles.

plum lines-When the ship enters the dry dock, her centerline is first brought in line with
the centerline of the keel blocks by using a combination of plum lines and Leica
theodolite.

Critical draft- The draft where GM = 0 is called the ship's critical draft. Calculating the
ship's critical draft is very important. When in drydock, dewatering of the dock stops
just before critical draft is reached so it can be verified that the ship is properly
supported by the side blocks.Since the center of gravity always rises faster than the
metacenter, the two stability points will eventually be in the same position. This results
in neutral stability, where no righting arms are being produced. The draft where GM =
0 is called the ship's critical draft.

If negative GM occurs in dry dock- The vessel will lose positive stability. She may capsize..

She may slip off from the blocks.

Limit of SO2 and CO2 in exhaust gas after scrubber?

IMO wanted to lower the oxides of sulphur with a little importance given to CO2
emissions as well, thus scrubbers measure the SO2/CO2 ratio with SO2 in ppm and CO2
in percentage which is measured by the CEMS Continuous Emission Monitoring System.

The SO2/CO2 ratio has been limited to a maximum of 21.7 in all non-Emission Control
Areas where the fuel used could be VLSFO with a maximum fuel content of 0.5%
sulphur m/m and a maximum of 4.3 when the fuel used is LSMGO with a sulphur
content of 0.1% m/m.

Q. What is Emergency Escape Route in Engine Room of a Merchant Navy Vessel ?

What are its SOLAS requirements ? by Pakrashi
The Emergency Escape Route in Engine Room of a Merchant Navy Vessel is located in
the bottom-most platform of the engine room. On some ships, this emergency escape
route is also present on the generator platform, in addition to the one that is present in
the engine room bottom platform. The Emergency escape route is provided, to help the
engine room crew, in escaping from the engine room, in the scenario of the fire.

This Emergency Escape Route opens in the steering gear room and from there the crew
can go onto the Poop Deck and will be able to save themselves from the fire.

The Emergency Escape Route is provided in the bottom platform of the engine room
because when there will be a fire in the engine room, as the the smoke is lighter, it will
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

go upwards and will affect the visibility of the engine room crew and can make them
unconscious, if they try to escape from the top of the engine room. But, if they try to
escape from the bottom side, they will have a better visibility and will have less contact
with the smoke, which will increase their chances of survival.

The engine room crew can also use the Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD),
which is provided on both port and starboard side, on each platform in the engine
room. There will always be a EEBD present near the entrance of the Emergency escape.

SOLAS requirements :Chapter II-2, Part-D, Regulation 13 - Means of escape

As per SOLAS, the following requirements must be met by a merchant navy vessel
regarding the Emergency Escape route in the engine room,

1) The emergency escape route should be clearly marked with illuminated signs.
2) The emergency escape route should be maintained in a safe condition.
3) The emergency escape route should always be clear of any obstacles.
4) The emergency escape route should be provided with additional aids for escape such
as a stretcher, a torch, a safety harness and a pulley and rope arrangement.
5) The emergency escape route should always be accessible.
6) The emergency escape route should not pass through a possible source of fire.
7) There should always be a EEBD present outside a Emergency escape.
8) The emergency escape should be by a steel ladder and the steel ladder should be as
widely seperated as possible so that escape will be faster- plz read original chapetr for

Q. In water survey notation - by Pakrashi

The CLASS will accept an In water Survey in lieu of the intermediate docking between
Special Surveys required in a five year period on ships where an *IWS notation is
assigned.

The In water Survey is to provide the information normally obtained from the Docking
Survey. Special consideration shall be given to ascertaining rudder bearing clearances
and stern bush clearances based on the operating history, on board testing and stern
L.O. analysis.

The In water Survey is to be carried out at an agreed geographical location, with the
ship at a suitable draught in sheltered waters and with weak tidal streams and currents.
The in water visibility is to be good and the hull below the waterline is to be clean.

In Water Survey (IWS) Requirements

Prior to commencing the In water Survey, the equipment and procedures for both
observing and reporting the survey are to be agreed between the Owners, Surveyor
and diving firm. In water Survey is to be carried out by a qualified diver of a firm
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

approved by the Class. If the In water Survey reveals damage or deterioration that
requires early attention, the Surveyor may require that the ship be dry-docked in order
that a fuller survey can be undertaken and the necessary work carried out.

Where a vessel has an *IWS notation, the conditions of the high resistant paint is to be
confirmed at each dry-docking in order that the *IWS notation can be
maintained. Where an *IWS (In water Survey) notation is to be assigned, plans and
information covering the following items are to be submitted:

 Details showing how rudder pintle and bush clearances are to be measured and
how the security of the pintles in their sockets is to be verified with the vessel
afloat.
 Details showing how stern bush clearances are to be measured with the vessel
afloat.
 Details of high resistant paint, for information only.
Where an *IWS notation is to be assigned, means are to be provided for ascertaining
the rudder pintle and bush clearances and for verifying the security of the pintles in
their sockets with the vessel afloat.

Where an *IWS (In water Survey) notation is to be assigned, means are to be provided
for ascertaining the clearance in the stern bush with the vessel afloat

Documents for IWS

 Survey plan,
 Location and date of IWS,
 Detail of hull marks and drawings.

Q. Tell Definition of Bulk carriers in various chapter of SOLAS and name of chapters-
by Pakrashi
1. SOLAS Chapter IX; Regulation-1 :- , “Bulk Carrier means a ship which is constructed
generally with single deck, topside tanks and hopper side tanks in cargo spaces, and it
intended primarily to carry dry cargo in bulk, and includes such types as ore carriers and
combination carriers.
2. SOLAS Chapter XII; Regulation-1:-
1. Bulk carrier means a ship which is intended primarily to carry dry cargo in bulk,
including such types as ore carriers and combination carriers.
2 Bulk carrier of single-side skin construction means a bulk carrier as defined in
paragraph 1, in which: .1 any part of a cargo hold is bounded by the side shell; or .2
where one or more cargo holds are bounded by a double-side skin, the width of which
is less than 760 mm in bulk carriers constructed before 1 January 2000 and less than
1,000 mm in bulk carriers constructed on or after 1 January 2000 but before 1 July 2006,
the distance being measured perpendicular to the side shell. Such ships include
combination carriers in which any part of a cargo hold is bounded by the side shell.
3 Bulk carrier of double-side skin construction means a bulk carrier as defined in
paragraph 1, in which all cargo holds are bounded by a double-side skin, other than as
defined in paragraph 2.2.
4 Double-side skin means a configuration where each ship side is constructed by the
side shell and a longitudinal bulkhead connecting the double bottom and the deck.
Hopper side tanks and top-side tanks may, where fitted, be integral parts of the double-
side skin configuration.
5 Length of a bulk carrier means the length as defined in the International Convention
on Load Lines in force.
6 Solid bulk cargo means any material, other than liquid or gas, consisting of a
combination of particles, granules or any larger pieces of material, generally uniform in
composition, which is loaded directly into the cargo spaces of a ship without any
intermediate form of containment

 SOLAS and MARPOL Amendments – 5 (2022 and beyond)

Q. In respect of the amendments coming in force in April 2022, what new definitions
are added to annex VI of MARPOL?
These are related to the Sulphur content and sampling.
Thus,

“Sulphur content of fuel oil” is the concentration of sulphur in any fuel oil, measured in %
m/m as tested in accordance with standard acceptable to the Organization;
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

“Low-flashpoint fuel”, means gaseous or liquid fuel having a flashpoint lower than
otherwise permitted under regulation 4 of chapter II-2;
“MARPOL delivered sample”, means the sample of fuel oil delivered in accordance with
regulation 18.8.1 of MARPOL Annex VI;
“In-use sample”, means the sample of fuel oil in use on a ship;
“On board sample”, means the sample of fuel oil intended to be used or carried for use
on board that ship.

Q. What is the amendment, scheduled to come in force in April 22 in respect of fuel

oil sampling and testing?
These are the amendments to regulation 14. New paragraphs related to in-use and
onboard fuel oil sampling and testing, requires one or more sampling points to be fitted
or designated for the purpose of taking representative samples of the fuel oil being
used or carried for use on board the ship. This being to verify the fuel oil complies with
the regulation. This would also cause amendments to the International Air Pollution
Prevention (IAPP) certificate. Thus, the IAPP certificate would have reference to
sampling points and also to indicate where there is an exemption to the provision for
low-flashpoint fuel. This would also affect the fuel verification procedure.

Q. What are the amendments expected in respect of BWM?

In June 22, amendments to BWM Convention, regarding commissioning testing of
ballast water management systems are to come in force. This would also amend the
form of the International Ballast Water Management Certificate.

Q. What changes would be caused due IMDG Code 40-20?

Adopted by MSC 102:
These changes are related to:

segregation requirements for alcoholates and liquid organic substances;

classification and transport of coal cargoes, due incidents involving the spontaneous
ignition of charcoal;
classification of UN portable tanks for multimodal transport; and
new provisions for labels.
Q. What amendments are expected in January 2024 in respect of IGF Code?
These are amendments to parts A and A-1 of the IGF Code, which is International Code
of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels. These are in respect of:

regulations on loading limit for liquefied gas fuel tanks;

fuel distribution outside of machinery space;
internal combustion engines of piston type;
fire protection for fuel storage hold space; and
the protection of the fuel supply for liquefied gas fuel tanks, to prevent explosions.

Q. What are the amendments to LSA code, expected in 2024?

 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

The amendments affecting chapters IV and VI of the LSA code, relate to general
requirements for lifeboats and launching and embarkation appliances.

Q. What amendments are expected to enter in respect of moorings?

Amendments to chapter II-1 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea
(SOLAS),is related to towing and mooring. MSC Circ.1175 dated December 2020, is
‘revised guidance on shipboard towing and mooring equipment’ in this respect. The
amendments to SOLAS regulation II-1/3-8 (Towing and mooring equipment), require
appropriate and safe-to-use designs of mooring arrangements. The guidelines aim to
provide clear unobstructed work area. It also introduce a maintenance and inspection
regim. Related guidelines were also adopted, covering the design of mooring
arrangements and the selection of appropriate mooring equipment and fittings for safe
mooring; inspection and maintenance of mooring equipment including lines; as well as
revised guidance on shipboard towing and mooring equipment. The eventual idea
being to minimize the exposure of personnel involved in mooring operations to the
dynamic loads of mooring lines.

Q. What is the provision about total load which can be applied to a fitting tn respect
of towing or mooring?
The design load should be applied to fittings in all directions that may occur by taking
into account the arrangement shown on the towing and mooring arrangements plan.
Where the towing line takes a turn at a fitting, the total design load applied to the
fitting is equal to the resultant of the design loads acting on the line. However, in no
case does the design load applied to the fitting need to be more than twice the design
load on the line as shown below.

Q. In case of a fitting, say bolards / bitts, what is the provision in respect of

attachment point?
The acting point of the towing force on shipboard fittings should be taken at the
attachment point of a towing line or at a change in its direction. For bollards and bitts
the attachment point of the towing line should be taken not less than 4/5 of the tube
height above the base as in the figure below.

Q. What is Safe working load (SWL), Safe towing load (TOW) and Ship Design
Minimum Breaking Load (MBLSD) as provided in ‘Revised guidance on shipboard
towing and mooring equipment’?
Safe working load (SWL) means the safe load limit of shipboard fittings used for
mooring operations in harbours or similar sheltered waters. Safe towing load (TOW)
means the safe load limit of shipboard fittings used for normal and other towing. Ship
Design Minimum Breaking Load (MBLSD) means the minimum breaking load of new,
dry mooring lines for which shipboard fittings and supporting hull structures are
designed in order to meet mooring restraint requirements.
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

Q. What is the relationship between TOW and the design load?

Safe towing load (TOW), used for normal towing operations and TOW used for other
towing operations should not exceed 80% of the design load as given in relevant paras
of guidelines. For fittings used for both, normal and other towing operations, the
greater of the safe towing loads should be used. TOW, in tonnes, of each shipboard
fitting should be marked (by weld bead or equivalent) on the fittings intended for
towing. For fittings intended to be used for both, towing and mooring, SWL, in tonnes,
should be marked in addition to TOW. These provisions on TOW apply for the use of no
more than one towing line.

Q. What amendments to IGF code are expected to enter into force on 1 January 2024?
Amendments to the International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-
flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code), related to the fuel containment systems, fire safety,
welding of metallic materials and non-destructive testing.

Q. What amendments to IGC code are expected to enter into force on 1 January 2024?
Amendments to the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships
Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code), related to welding procedure tests for
cargo tanks and process pressure vessels.

Q. What steps are taken by IMO in respect of control on Cybutryne in the AFS system?
The amendments were adopted to the AFS Convention regarding controls on cybutryne
and the form of the International Anti-fouling System Certificate. The amendments will
enter into force on 1 January 2023. From this date the application or re-application of
an AFS containing cybutryne will be prohibitted.
Ships with an AFS that contains Cybutryne in the external coating or external parts or
surfaces shall either: remove the anti-fouling system; or apply a barrier coating.
This amendment applies to all ships except existing fixed and floating platforms,
floating storage units, and floating production storage and offloading facilities that have
been constructed and not been in dry-dock on or after 1 January 2023; ships not
engaged in international voyages; and ships of less than 400 gross tonnage engaged in
international voyages.
The latter part though, applies to the next scheduled renewal of the AFS after 1 January
2023, but no only for 60 months following the last application of an AFS with Cybutryne.

Q. What are the terms: GHG, EEXI, CII?

GHG is greenhouse gas emissions; EEXI is Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index; and
CII is carbon intensity indicator.

Q. What are the new IMO measures in respect of above?

The new measures will require all ships to calculate their Energy Efficiency Existing Ship
Index (EEXI) following technical means to improve their energy efficiency and to
establish their annual operational carbon intensity indicator (CII) and CII rating. Carbon
intensity links the GHG emissions to the transport work of ships. The attained Energy
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) is required to be calculated for ships of 400 gt and
above, in accordance with the different values set for ship types and size categories.
The amendments apply to ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above (the ships already
subject to the requirement for data collection system for fuel oil consumption of ships).
These ships are required to have determined their required annual operational carbon
intensity indicator (CII). Ships will get a rating of their energy efficiency (A, B, C, D, E –
where A is the best), which will be incorporated in their mandatory Statement of
Compliance to be issued by the Administration. Administrations, port authorities and
other stakeholders as appropriate are also encouraged to provide incentives to ships
rated as A or B.
The amendments to MARPOL Annex VI are expected to enter into force on 1 November
2022, with the requirements for EEXI and CII certification coming into effect from 1
January 2023. Thus, the first annual reporting on carbon intensity will be completed in
2023, with the first rating given in 2024.

Q. What are the amendments to MARPOL regarding use of HFO in the Arctic?
The MEPC adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex I, adding a new regulation 43A to
introduce a prohibition on the use and carriage for use as fuel of heavy fuel oil (HFO) by
ships in Arctic waters on and after 1 July 2024. Thus, prohibition will cover the use and
carriage for use as fuel of oils having a density at 15°C higher than 900 kg/m3 or a
kinematic viscosity at 50°C higher than 180 mm2/s. Ships engaged in securing the
safety of ships, or in search and rescue operations, and ships dedicated to oil spill
preparedness and response would be exempted. Ships which meet certain construction
standards with regard to oil fuel tank protection would need to comply on and after 1
July 2029.

Q. What are the amendments to MARPOL Annexes I and IV concerning the exemption
of UNSP barges from survey and certification requirements?
The MEPC adopted amendments to draft amendments to MARPOL Annexes I and IV
concerning the exemption of unmanned non-self-propelled (UNSP) barges from survey
and certification requirements.
Thus, the Administration may exempt a UNSP barge from the annual survey and
certification requirements, for a period not exceeding 5 years provided that the UNSP
barge satisfies certain conditions. A form for the International Oil Pollution Exemption
Certificate for Unmanned Non-self-propelled Barges is provided. A circular in this
respect is also issued on guidelines for exemption of UNSP barges.

Q. In future what work is expected regarding underwater noise form ships?

The MEPC agreed to work in respect of the reduction of underwater noise from
commercial shipping to address adverse impacts on marine life.

Focussed inspection campaign

On the 7th of January 2021, AMSA banned the Barkly Pearl from entering Australian
ports for a period of 24 months due to substantiated concerns relating to the structural
 https://t.me/NoidaMmdClassII By_Devendra Kumar

integrity of the ship, the potential threat of pollution to the marine environment and
the immediate risk to the seafarer’s safety.
This banning illustrates that AMSA has a zero-tolerance approach to ships that are
poorly maintained, and that the Australian community expects that any ship operating
or travelling throughout our waters is seaworthy.

Inspection process:-
We will undertake the FIC in conjunction with normal port State control inspections.
AMSA surveyors will use a checklist when they conduct this FIC. A copy of this checklist
is provided below. Our focus is on ensuring that the ships that carry livestock from
Australia are fit for purpose, safe, and properly maintained.
Where a surveyor finds a deficiency in relation to the items in the checklist, the
surveyor will discuss the deficiency with the Master, and their intentions with regards
to rectifying the deficiency.
There are two parts to this FIC checklist. The first part relates to Marine Order 43
specific requirements. These are Australia’s national requirements. Any deficiencies
found that relate directly to Marine Order 43 will be recorded on the record of the
inspection form (SV-CC).
The second part of the FIC relates to International Convention requirements. Any
deficiencies will be recorded as part of normal port State control practices.
Every livestock ship that carries livestock as a cargo from Australia, will be subject to
one FIC inspection during this campaign. The duration of the campaign allows for each
livestock ship that holds a current ACCL to be inspected once during this campaign.
Outcome of the focussed inspection campaign
The results of the focussed inspection campaign will be analysed and a brief report
prepared. This report will be published on our website.

Focussed inspection campaign is for AMSA -Australian ports
