Ship Construction Amendments Overview

The document outlines amendments to ship construction regulations effective for contracts after July 1, 2016, focusing on longitudinal strength, structural requirements for bar keel and sternframe, and specifications for opening and closing appliances. Key changes include the exclusion of container ships from longitudinal strength requirements, deletion of certain structural strength requirements, and clarifications on load calculations and materials for hatch covers. Additional editorial changes and new figures are introduced to enhance understanding of the regulations.

Section / Subject / Amendments

Clause
Part 3 Chapter 5 : Longitudinal Strength

The amendments are applicable to ships contracted for construction on or after 01 July 2016
1/1.1.6 It is clarified that the requirements for longitudinal strength in this section do not apply
to Container ships. Separate requirements for container ships are given in Pt.5, Ch.5,
Sec.4.
Part 3 Chapter 6 : Bar Keel, Stem and Sternframe

The amendments are applicable to ships contracted for construction on or after 01 July 2016
4/4.3 & 4.5 Requirements for the structural strength of sole pieces and rudder horns have been
indicated in Pt.3, Ch.14, Sec.7. Hence, the existing structural strength requirements
in Pt.3, Ch.6 for sole pieces and rudder horn are deleted
Part 3 Chapter 12 : Opening and Closing Appliances

The amendments are applicable to ships contracted for construction on or after 01 July 2016
1/1.3.2 A note is added which clarifies that the horizontal design weather load need not be
considered for the direct strength calculation unless it is used in the sub structures of
horizontal support.
1/1.3.3 Several editorial changes are made in the requirements for cargo loads for better
understanding.
1/[Link] The loads at each corner of container stack resulting from heave and pitch are
specified.
1/[Link] Load cases with partial loading of containers are specified. Existing Fig.[Link] has
been deleted and new Fig.[Link] is added. The partial loading for each Heel
direction is indicated in the figure.
1/[Link] Requirements for the case of mixed stowage of 20 feet and 40 feet containers are
added.
1/1.5 The corrosion additions and steel renewal requirements of hatch covers are given in
this sub-section.
2/2.2.9 It is clarified that materials for hatch coaming are to satisfy the requirements of Pt. 2,
Ch.2.
2/2.5.1 The types of hatch coaming stay constructions where simple beam analysis may be
used and those requiring FEM analysis are separately shown in Fig.2.5.1.
2/2.6.4 Requirement for extension of coaming plate is added. Fig.2.6.4 gives example of
hatch side girder.
3/3.1.3 It is clarified that materials of hatch covers are to comply with Pt.3, Ch.2 with Class I
for top plate, bottom plate and primary support members.
3/3.3.1 Guidance on evaluation of stresses in finite elements of flanges of unsymmetrical
girders is added
3/3.4 Fig.3.2 for determination of normal stresses is modified indicating that maximum
stresses in the panel are to be considered .
3/3.4.2 The requirement of plate thickness when normal cargo is carried and when project
cargo is carried are separated. Definition of project cargo is given in note.
3/3.5 Separate formula given for requirements of secondary stiffeners for considering
weather loads and cargo loads.
3/3.7 It is clarified that double skin hatch covers or hatch covers with box girders are to be
assessed using FEM.
4/4.4.1 It is clarified that accelerations in longitudinal and transverse directions need not be
considered simultaneously.
4/4.4.2 Note added to clarify conditions for relaxation in permissible nominal surface
pressures for hatch cover supports.
