This is a computer network connecting all the Depts of SR like SRP&M, SRC, SRO,
SR(E&OS) with a main server. This provide a quick and realistic data about all the
activities of SR.
When the RS of the vessel is received, SRC enter the same into the system.
Quotation is prepared for the vessel in the same way in computer formats.
All the Depts have access to these data for reference and can make advance arrangements
like indenting, procurement of matls. Indents are raised in the formats given in the
computer by SRO. SRM, referring to the indents on computer arrange to procure the
items. Enquiry, quotations, approval, PO and receipt of materials. SRC refer these data
for preparing invoice.

Highlights
ISRS is used for Standardising of Ship Repair activities and linking Tariff Rates and the
Sub Contractor Guidance Rates with the Activities to automate the Quotation
preparation, Work Completion Certificate preparation, Invoice preparation and Sub

Procedure for repair a ship

19

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

PRE ARRIVAL MEETING


Before the vessel is coming to the repair yard there would be a pre arrival meeting
between ships superintend, ship chief engineer, ship captain, and ship repair manager
and invoicer (last two representing shipyard). This meeting is very important because
they discuss the general repair work for the vessel.
For every repair yard there will be a standard work list containing different job
description, job numbers etc. In the pre arrival meeting the ship repair manager will
discus the work needed for the coming vessel and mark the respective job numbers in the
work list.
WORK LIST PREPRATION:

Prior to the vessel arrival clerk in the office will give set of documents and another
shortened vision marked as work list. It is critical that the worklist is correct as
possible. For each job there is a heading, which help to easily identify the job. The details
of the work in the worklist should be sufficient to highlight the important details.
Each job will have a separate job number. It is very important that this worklist
preparation should be as soon as possible because all trades are making their work forms
depending on this worklist before the vessel arrival.
SUPERINTENDENTS MEETING
Immediately after superintends arrival to shipyard SRM should manage a meeting with
him a soon as possible. This meeting should include,
Details of repair work(including type of welding, type of material etc)
Going through the work list: SRM should go through the worklist item one by one and
discuss problems associated with it.
Shore power requirement (440/60 or 385/50).

Service engineer safety briefings


Superintendent office arrangement.
It is very important to make this meeting friendly with the super, because this will set the
ground for future relationship. There are invariably many cancellation and additional
during these meeting and these should be documented as soon as possible so that
worklist is updated. If this is done quickly then during next meeting of SRM with
Forman he can give job numbers for new work and can cancel other work.
INVOICER MEETING

When work list is returned for final approval it should be discussed with the
Invoicer, prior to final distribution. This will ensure that invoicer will aware of the
spec. And that he has the opportunity to direct SRM with regard certain subcontractor work. This can avoid certain unnecessary changes to the spec at a later
time.
FOREMENS MEETING

20

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

If possible one day before the vessel arrival SRM should organize a meeting with the
foremen who have been allocated to the vessel. The best way of organizing this meeting
is go to the supervisor of the each trade and ask him to send his foremen at the
appropriate time. So supervisor will knows SRM name and face and the sooner he will
help the SRM. This will be detailed and formal. In the meeting the special preference
should be given to the critical job. Prior to this meeting SRM should made a preliminary
program, which is the basis for the meeting.
Why above meetings are important:
Ship repair mangers and invoicer meeting with the superintend, help to discuss the
major repair problem.
The presence of invoicer helps to know approximate cost for each major works.
Meeting help to know which material is required for repair, if there is any major steel
work. Whether it is there shipyards stockyard or not?
With this meeting shipyard can decide they want to go for sub contract
Help to decide the critical job early.
Meeting with the foreman help him to know about the work and he can request for
special equipment (example platform welding equipment, robotic welding) if needed.
After the vessel has been reached in the yard the identification of the work will do
with the help of previously made worklist. Identification of the job will carry out in the
presence ships captain, chief engineer.

FIRE PROTECTION
Immediately after the vessel has been docked in the yard, fire protection system will be
arranged onboard if vessel fire protection system is not activated. This involves
protecting shipyard employment workers, entire shipyard from fire hazards while
conducting ship repair, shipbuilding, ship breaking. Many of the basic tasks involved in
shipyard employment, such as welding, grinding, and cutting metal with torches, provide
an ignition source for fires.
There are also many combustible materials on vessels and in shipyards, including
flammable fuels, cargo, wood structures, building materials, and litter. When torches are
used in confined or enclosed spaces, accidents resulting in oxygen-enriched atmospheres
can cause normally fire-resistant materials to readily burn. When fires do occur,
employees are often working in confined or enclosed spaces making escape difficult or
impossible. Fires in such confined or enclosed spaces can also result in atmospheres of
combustible gases, toxic fumes, or oxygen-deficient air or super-heated air.
When the worksite has multiple employers, the host employer (typically the shipyard or
the owner of the vessel) and the contract employer must assure

21

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

that their fire safety plans are compatible (include hazards, controls, fire safety and health
rules, and emergency procedures), and
All employees are familiar with the plan.
The plan is accessible to all employees.
Steps for implementing fire protection plan:
Fire Safety Plan
Precautions for Hot Work
Fire Watches
Fire Response
Fixed Fire Extinguishing System Hazards on Board Vessel
Land-side Fire Protection Systems
Training.
PREPARING FOR SAFE HOT WORK
Hot work includes welding, cutting, burning, abrasive blasting, and other heat-producing
operations. Hot work presents an increased risk of fire and explosion hazards because it
is most often performed in confined and enclosed spaces. Accidents may occur during
hot work due to the structure of vessels, where hot work in a space can cause fire or
explosion in an adjacent space that has not been evaluated safe for hot work. Special
precautions must be taken in adjacent spaces as well as confined and enclosed spaces.
Steps for safe hot work include:
Preparing Space for Hot Work
Testing and Certifying for Hot work
Hot Work Operations and Maintaining Safe Conditions

1.Preparing space for hot work


In preparation of a space for hot work, shipyard personnel must complete the following tasks :

Determine the nature and the extent of the hot work.


Determine the nature of other operations in or adjacent to the space that may affecting
hot work (such as painting and cleaning).
Determine the cargo history, the last three cargos held in work space and adjacent spaces.
Secure pipelines and other equipment (heating coils, pumps, etc.) in the work space to
prevent flammable or toxic materials from being discharged into the space.
Make space "Safe for Workers" including installing appropriate illumination, access,
staging, etc
Post warning signs as appropriate.
Install appropriate hot work ventilation. Before use, ensure that welding and burning
equipment is properly grounded, inspected, and installed
Ensure that adequate fire protection is available.

2.Testing and Certifying for Hot work


In a shipyard, typically two types of individuals conduct tests and authorize spaces for
hot work:
Certified Marine Chemists (CMC)
Shipyard Competent Persons (SCP)
The Marine Chemist certifies spaces and equipment containing or that have previously
contained flammable and combustible materials, as well as all adjacent spaces. The
Shipyard Competent Person tests for and authorizes hot work locations that do not
require a Marine Chemist (their specific areas of jurisdiction are listed below). When a
Marine chemist is not available, a Coast Guard Authorized Person (CGAP) can also
conduct
tests
and
authorize
spaces
for
hot
work.
When the testing is complete and the spaces are certified, workers are then permitted to
begin.

Certified Marine Chemist (CMC)


(CMC)is required to test for hot work in confined and enclosed spaces, adjacent spaces,
and equipment (such as fuel tanks, cargo tanks, piping, pumps, etc.) containing, or that
have previously contained, flammable or combustible liquids or gases. Tests to be
performed include:
Atmospheric Testing
Oxygen
Flammable gases and vapors
Inerted atmospheres (<8 percent oxygen) in adjacent spaces
Flammability of residues and coatings
Verification of inspections for hot work conducted by other shipyard personnel
Ensuring pumps and piping are secured
A marine chemist issues a certificate for hot work, which must be posted. The Marine
Chemist Certificate identifies condition of spaces, such as "Safe for Hot Work" or
Atmosphere Safe for Workers." Spaces that are designated "Not Safe for Workers" or
"Not Safe for Hot Work" must be labeled.

3.Hot Work Operations and Maintaining Safe Conditions


During hot work operations, conditions can change. Piping may leak into the space, the
vessel may move, or different types of work (painting or cleaning) may be conducted in
adjacent spaces. Therefore, maintaining safe conditions requires constant precautions,
including frequent inspection and tests performed by the Shipyard Competent Person.

Scaffolding
Scaffolds, or staging, are devices used to provide a elevated working surface. Staging

23

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

may be of several different designs and is often constructed to fit the ship. Staging must
be adequate for the work performed because falls are a significant hazard in the shipyard.
Before working on or near any scaffold, workers should ensure that scaffolds are:
Safely secured and supported,
Level,
Provided with safe access (such as ladders),
Adequately decked (for example have a work surface and platform), and
Provided with guard rails.
Scaffolding, or staging, presents hazards for personnel working from, accessing, or
leaving a scaffold. To be safe, scaffolding must be constructed from specified materials
in an approved manner. Fall protection must be provided for the workers on the scaffold.
Protection from falling objects must be provided for workers below the scaffold.

Potential Hazards:
Failure of the staging components or overloading may result in collapse of the unit in
whole or in part, causing workers to fall.
Workers falling off the staging due to lack of edge guards.
Items falling off the staging and injuring workers below.
Surging (for example movement of work surface) when working on floating scaffolds.
Workers on the scaffolds falling to the level below.
Items falling from the scaffolds and striking workers below.

Requirements
All scaffolds and their supports must be capable of supporting the load they are designed
to carry with a safety factor of no less than four.
All lumber (such as scaffold grade, used in the construction of scaffolds must be sound,
straight, and free from defects.
Scaffolds shall be maintained in a safe and secure condition. Any component of the
scaffold that is broken, burned, or otherwise defective must be replaced.
Unstable objects (such as Barrels, boxes, cans, or loose bricks) must not be used as
working platforms, or to support working platforms.
Scaffolds must be erected, moved, dismantled, or altered under the supervision of
scaffold competent persons.
Welding, burning, riveting, or open flame work must not be performed on any staging
suspended by means of fiber rope.
Note: Wire rope can be easily damaged by hot work.
Lifting bridles on working platforms suspended from cranes must consist of four legs so
that the stability of the platform is assured.

ACCESSIBILITY PROBLEM, SPECIAL EQUIPMENT


Certain part of the ship will have less access for hot work. This will lead to poor
quality welding. In order to avoid such prolonged tedious access welding some special
equipment are now introduced. One example for this type is welding platform
equipment.

Welding platform
Prolonged, tedious, and/or difficult-access welding can result in:
reduced weld quality
inefficient labor (minimal torch-on time)
worker fatigue

Plate Removal And Installation


A generalized procedure for the installation and repair of plates has been
prepared through a detailed analysis of the steps followed in various shipyards.

Steps involved are:


Pre arrival time:
If there is a major steel work, this matter will be discussed in the meeting between SRM
and superintendent.
Discuss accessibility problem with superintendent and arrange suitable equipment and
welder.
According to the norms set by the superintendent, arrange for the required steel.(grade of
steel, plate thickness)

25

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

Check whether it is in stockyard otherwise order for it immediately.


Check whether the work can be carried out by the shipyard work force or if any needs for
subcontracting exists.

After vessel arrival:


1) A gas inspector should check the area and check whether the entry is
safe.
) Clean the area as required until safety inspector provides the safety to entry & hot work
permit pass.
3) Report to staging foreman for scaffolding in this area.
3) Identify the work with plate fitter (foreman) by using worklist.
4) Prepare the area for hot work as described above.
o Proper cleaning
o Hot work permit
o Proper ventilation..
Remove paint within 500mm area if paint is toxic at high temperature.
Determine the nature of other operations in or adjacent to the space that may affect hot
work (such as painting and cleaning). Etc

Removal of the plate:


Make a production drawing as shown below which shows the sequence of weld and
dimension of the cut etc.
Check the area and mark the area to be cut out
General approach is that if a new shell plate is to be welded in place, the seams and butts
in the surrounding structure are cut back 300 to 375 mm from the opening.
Same way stiffeners are also cut back 300-375mm from the opening.
Using gas cutting torch cut the portion along the marking.

nel
As decide early, arrange the plate and fabricate according to the drawing.
During welding distortion will occur. So we have to follow a welding sequence to

26

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

minimize the distortion.


A weld on cooling and contracting tends to pull the plate with it. This results in a
structural deflection, the restraining action of the plate preventing the weld from
contracting fully. It is known that shrinkage in butt welds does occur principally along
the length of the weld, and to a lesser extent across it.
If a high restraint is provided in an effort to control distortion the structure will contain
high residual stresses, which are to be avoided.
So appropriate welding sequence should be use
At T intersections it is necessary to weld the butt first.
Gouge out the ends to renew the seam edge preparation before welding the seam.
Welding the seam first would cause high restraint across the plate strake and when the
butt was finished a crack might occur.
First we weld the central but weld and then adjacent seam, same way working outward
both transversely and longitudinally.

ELECTRICAL REPAIR SHOP
The electrical repair shop is well equipped and is capable of undertaking repairs and
rewinding of full range of motors and generators of ships and overhaul of electrical
apparatus and switch gears. List o major equipments here are:Electric Coil Winding machines
Industrial Furnaces (36 kW)
Dimmer stats (to test motor above 25HP)
Quick way Armature winding machine with counter (230V AC/DC)
Coil winding machinery with counter
Testing panel with dimmer stat(3-phase,AC)

The potential for electrical shock hazards is greater in shipbuilding and repair than
in other industries, because workers stand on metal decks and often work in a wet
environment. Work on or around energized electrical equipment can expose workers to
electrocution, burns, or electrical shock. Before work is performed, energized equipment
must be guarded, deenergized, or appropriate PPE used to prevent worker exposure.

Note:
Typically all levels
may be fed by
more than one

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

1.1. Emergency Electrical Distribution System Configuration


The emergency electrical distribution systems for all vessels Groups 1 through and
including shall be considered standard as follows:
Alternating Current Systems:
3-phase, 3-wire insulated system;
single phase, 2 wired insulated system,
For Direct Current Systems, 2 wire insulated systems.

Generators
The generator is the heart of the ship. The electrical system should be characterized in
such a way that it supplies sufficient energy to all systems of the ship and for that it is
extremely essential that the correct sizing of the generators is done. The correct sizing of
the generator is the key to a safe, workable and economic electrical system. The size of
the generator depends on the load. The load often varies or undergoes swings as the
generator is connected to various other elements such as motors, heating elements and air
conditioning systems. Therefore, considerable care should be taken for generators are
susceptible to heavy system load swings.
Every ship must have at least two generators which have their individual diesel engines.
But running them through out the voyage is expensive and uneconomical as far as fuel
consumption is concerned. Thus every ship should have at least one generator that is
attached to its propulsion system.
Its always advisable that a ship should have three generators. One that is connected to its
propulsion system and the other two having their own prime movers. That way if one
fails the other two are sufficient to take the load with all the load swings.

Motor and Motor Controls


The second important thing that we will require is motors and their controls. Motors are
used onboard to run various auxiliaries such as fuel and lubrication oil services,
ventilation systems, water circulation etc. All these motors are controlled from a group
motor controller which is located at a convenient position such as a machinery control
room or in the engine room itself. The most economical way is to provide local starters
for each motor supplied from main power panels located in the same or adjacent rooms.
Nowadays most of the ships have a centralized machine control system where all the
motors are connected to a machinery control room with the help of cables which are then
connected to push button startups located on centralized machinery control console. This
is the most efficient and user friendly arrangement which is used by almost all ships .

35

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

The Main Switchboard


One more important thing is the main switch board. All the machineries on ship that
consume electrical power should be connected to a main switch board. The system
should be designed in such a way that under all normal conditions of operation, power
should be distributed from main switch board.
The main switch boards are located in the center of the distribution or in engine control
room. They should be installed in such an area that in time of emergency such as fire or
flooding, they should be easily accessible. Thus they should be installed in spaces away
from the main machinery spaces.

AIR CONDITIONING
This is the process of modifying the properties of outside fresh air and then supplying it
inside a compartment to improve the interior environment of the compartment and
increase the comfort level. This is accomplished by heating or cooling, dehumidifying
and removal of pollutants and contaminants. In modern ships air conditioning is
invariably provided in accommodation spaces, public areas, navigation bridge and also
spaces containing sensitive instruments such as machinery control room inside the engine
room.
The components of the air-conditioning system are compressors, heaters, fans, radiator,
ducting, filters, dehumidifying unit, nozzles, controls etc...Dehumidification units use
solid or liquid desiccants. The air conditioned air is distributed to various spaces by the
same network of ducts used for ventillation systems

Wire brushes
Scrapers
Chisels
Chipping hammers

6.Solvent cleaningThis method is used to remove the visible oils, grease, dust, sand, and other
soluble
contaminants from steel surface.

Marine coating shop


In CSL, inside the marine coating shop, blasting is carried out and then painting
is done. Different type of machineries are used in marine coating shop to throw the girt
on to the surface in order to make SA 2.5 standard surface, equipments to control the
atmospheric conditions suitable for painting and an abrasive grit recovery system. Silos
in marine coating shop have 8ton capacity, and the recovery rate of abrasive is 3.5ton to
8 ton per hour. The blasting machine is knows as macro blast machine (hopper)
integrated with pneumatic remote control system. The paint application is by air less
spray method; pneumatic piston pump is used for the same.

Standards of surface preparation


St2 surface is obtained by hand and power tool cleaning
St3 surface is obtained by very through hand and power tool cleaning
Sa1 is obtained by light blast cleaning
Sa2 is obtained by through light blast cleaning
Sa2.5 is obtained by very through light blast cleaning
Sa3 blast cleaning to visually clean steel

Paint System for Ships:


Bottom Surface upto Boot Top CR Anti corrosion, CR Anti fouling.
Boot Top Region CR Anti corrosive, CR Finish.
Top Side - CR Anti corrosive, CR Finish.
Superstructure Epoxy Primer, Alkyd Paint.
Self Polishing Co-primer (SPC)
As per this new system of painting, depending upon the duration of next dry
docking, the thickness of the film is decided and SPC is applied. Whenever a fouling
material try to stick on the hull, a layer of the paint get loose from the hull and hence act
as an anti fouling paint. This system provide a reduced frictional resistance and thus
improve speed and fuel efficiency. Moreover, hull cleaning during dry docking is easy.

Methods of Painting
1. By Brushing or Roller
2. Air Spray & Airless Spray
In Air spray, compressed air mixes with the paint and passes through an
atomizing nozzle. ( There is chances of locking air bubbles in between paint)
But in Airless Spray, compressed air is used to force the paint through an
atomizing nozzle.

Paint failures
Paint failures, which are generally seen on the painted surface are given by,
Sagging
Pealing
Pinholes
Crocodile
Blushing
Spatter seat

Docking
Docking is the process of entering a ship in to the dry dock , Dry-dock is a
narrow basin or vessel that can be flooded to allow a load to be floated in, then drained to
allow that load to come to rest on a dry platform. Dry-docks are used for the construction,
maintenance, and repair of ships, boats, and other watercraft, Special internal structure
should be provided for vessels to resist docking loads

TYPES OF DRY DOCKS

We saw graving dock in CSL . the properties of graving dock is The
classic form of dry-dock, properly known as graving dock, is a narrow basin, usually
made of earthen beams and concrete, closed by gates or by a caisson, into which a vessel
may be floated and the water pumped out, leaving the vessel supported on blocks. The
keel blocks as well as the bilge block are placed on the floor of the dock in accordance
with the "docking plan" of the ship

Docking requirements are listed below :

Docking Procedure :
Docking process is controlled by Dock Master, Controlling Officer, Supervisors and team
leaders.
1.For docking a ship, leader with mooring crews take position to the FWD & AFT of
the ship before entering to the dock.
2.Pass the heaving line to the boat for taking FWD winch lines or dock lines according
to the direction of the leader.
3. Connect the steel rope on ships bollard.
4. At the same time one ship line will pass through the boats to the jetty for connecting
to hauling carriage.
5. Shackle this headline rope ends to the hauling carriage hook which is fitted to the side
rails of the dock.
6. Two tugs from Port & Stbd pushes the ship to keep center position.
7. As soon as the bow enters the dock, put another nylon rope (spring rope) for holding
the speed of the ship, when head line rope pulling proceeds.
8. Immediately after stern enters the dock, capstone ropes will pass to the AFT of the
vessel with both cranes.
9. Use mouse method or bow line method for accurate seating.

Undocking procedure :
For undocking also the above mentioned officers and team are required.

Before flooding, all ropes (Head ,Spring, Breast, Stern) are provided on both stbd & port
sides.
A steel rope from ship bollard is connected with the hauling carriage on both stbd & port
side to control fwd movement (assume Aft near to dock gate).
On the other hand the hauling carriage is connected with FWD winch for its forward
movement.
While running hauling carriage, aft of the vessel comes to dock mouth.
While aft comes near dock mouth nylon ropes are passed to tugs for controlling aft
movement.
When the vessel fwd comes out of dock mouth the hauling carriage ropes are detached
and the tugs control further vessel movement.

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

4.CNC Plasma Cutting Machines:


Here instead of LPG and Oxygen, plasma arc is used for cutting. Two CNC Plasma Cutting
Machines are there and one of differences between the two CNC Plasma machines is the skid
dimension. In CNC Plasma two, there are two cutting heads. The second head can be used for
edge preparation along with cutting. But the second head may hit the scrap and will stop the
machine. This happens quite often. Once it happen the machine has to be taken to the start point
leading wastage of time.

II. SUB-ASSEMBLY
The marked plates and sections for the sub-assembly will come from the preparation shop and
they are welded together to form parts of units or blocks. Sub-assemblies weigh maximum 10 t is
made in the Sub-Assembly shop. Sub-assemblies used of curved panels or sections are not done
in this shop.

Types of welding used in this shop are,


1. Manual metal arc welding
Usually all down hand welding (except continuous down hand welding) and tacking is
done with manual metal arc welding. The different diameters of electrode used are 3.15,
4, 5 mm flux coated electrode.
Eg: Low hydrogen coated rode (7018), MS rode (6013)

2. CO2 Welding
This type of welding is used mainly for vertical and continuous down hand welding.
Ceramic backing avoids the back gauging of the weld and saves a lot of time. CO2 gas
acts as shield gas, steel wire of diameter 1.2 mm is used and root gap is made as 6-8 mm.

3. Submerged Arc Welding


Submerged Arc Welding is usually used to join panels with a semi-automatic machine.
For this type of welding root gap between the joints is made to zero. Welding rode used
is steel coated with copper. Wire and flux are changed to different types of steel. Speed is
adjusted according to the thickness.

Defects in welding and the remedy for that are,

Spatter

Chipping

Cracks

Gouging and re-welding

Undercut

Single layer welded over

Porosity

Gouging and re-welding

Slag inclusion

Gouging and re-welding

Lack of fusion

Gouging and welding

These sub-assemblies will move to assembly or assembly shop for unit or block construction.

III. ASSEMBLY
Assembly works are done in HA, HB and HC bay. ADS bay is used right now for
fabrication of hatch covers for bulk carriers. Here units less than 50t weights are made
and send to the assembly shop or for painting. Before shifting, dry survey by the
Department itself, by Inspection & Quality Control Department, Classification Society
and Owners Surveyors should be done successfully.

Due to the implementation of IHOP, hull department has to also take care of outfitting
work like Heating Anode, Manhole Covers, Ladders, Pockets for lashing eyes, Hand grip,
Steps etc.

Besides the previous mentioned welding types, assembly shop use One Side Welding for
joining of large panels. The technology is same as in the submerged arc welding, but it
can weld both sides of the plates in single run. Two welding heads (Leading and Trailing
heads) are used for this purpose. The other important points about the one side welding
are,

Only 12 to 30 mm plates can be welded

Leading wire diameter is 4.8mm and it carries 34 V, 1250 Amp

Trailing wire diameter is 6.4mm and it carries 45 V, 1000 Amp

Root flux is NSR1R

Above flux is NSH50

For AH and DH flux made by Nippon steel

For EH the fluxes are PFI 50R, PFI 50, PFI 45

There are four flux copper backing (FCB)

Five plates can be welded together

Skid capacity is 13 m by 12.5 m

There are four welding machine

Two operate at a time

Problem with one side welding is crack formation

Temparature of welding is 36000 C to 50000 C

65

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

ONE SIDE WELDING


This is an advanced method of welding used in CSL and is utilized in welding seams on long
panels. There are three tables for this machine namely Tack weld, Run on and Run out tables.
Welding seams are supported by copper backing strips ( Flat & curved). Flux is spread over this
Backing strips and these strips are pressed against the weld seam with the help of compressed air
filled asbestos hose underneath. Plates are clamped down by magnetic clamps. Welding is
performed under a pool of flux. Two coil formed electrodes namely Leading Electrode (1200A
1300A) and Trailing Electrode (850A 950A) are fed continuously to the weld point. Flux is
supplied through a funnel. Copper backing strips can be moved transversely to various positions
along different weld seams. Plates are rolled on to the table and out by roller conveyors. Back run
welding is automatically formed on the other side, when main seam welding is carried out.

CO2 WELDING
This is a type of gas shielded consumable nozzle electro slag welding and is also known as Metal
Active Gas welding. Oxidation of weld metal is prevented by CO2 gas. 1.2 to 3mm bare metal
electrode ( K-71-T) is fed in spool form through the welding nozzle. Also CO2 gas is supplied
through the same way to prevent oxidation. Ceramic backing is used to avoid back gouging and
welding back run. Welding efficiency of CO2 welding is 5 times (1:5) that of manual welding.
Current 240 to 280A. Voltage 28 to 36V. Gas consumption 15 to 20 ltrs per minute.

Advantages of CO2 Welding.

Can be done both manually and automatically

By using ceramic backing strips, welding of both sides can be done from one side

Wastage of electrode and time can be saved as it is in spool form and is fed continuously

Welding speed is more as deposit efficiency is high

Good quality welding as there is no chance of slag inclusion

Back gouging can be avoided, hence time is saved

Thick plates can be welded in a single run

Welding efficiency is 5 times (1:5) that of manual welding

No need of chipping and wire brushing of weld beads, electrode changing

IV. ASSEMBLY SHOP


Assembly shop is called as HF Bay. Units weighing less than 50t crane capacity are made
in the assembly and transported to the assembly shop with the help of low loaders. In
assembly shop blocks weighing more than 50 t are made.

Grand assembly is also done in assembly shop by joining different blocks of weight up to
150t. The input materials or structures to the assembly shop can be from assembly or subassembly or even directly from preparation shop.

The particulars of the assembly shop are

Telescopic type movable roof (three inner and three outer)

Two twenty-ton swl electrical overhead crane.

Width of the bay is 30 m

Length of the bay with roof is 118 m

Extra bay length without roof is 20 m

One Jessop crane having capacity of 50 t at 35 m radius and 35 t at 45m radius

Gantry (Chitram) crane having a capacity of 150 t

The work progress is regulated by skid plans given by planning department. A skid plan
for example is attached at the end.

The completed blocks undergo dry survey and will be shifted to painting shop for
blasting and painting before erection.

HULL ERECTION
Make necessary arrangements to ensure a smooth and safe erection of units. Following
should be taken care of:
a)

Unit available with the appropriate lifting hooks

b)

Unit clear of any loose objects like ladders, paint containers

c)

Rigging ropes and shackles have adequate load bearing capacity.

d)

Clearing of any obstacles in way of unit erection strong backs, pad eyes, wires

and hoses
e) In case of units erected on dock blocks, ensure that the
blocks have been laid as per docking plan.
f) Side shell units with a greater degree of flare necessitates the usage of shore supports
for alignment as well as load support.
g)

Before erection of deck units ensure that the ones below it have been welded or at

least faired
h)

Staging arrangements to be made

i)

Man hole access to be cut to facilitate safe working inside the unit.

Unit alignment
a) In case of units erected on dock blocks:
i) raise the wooden wedges by at least 5mm prior to seating of the unit
ii) the unit is aligned with center line of the adjacent unit.
iii) unit is aligned to an uniform water level
iii) the free end of the unit is checked against center line, half breadth, butt lines
and height.
iv) with an average reading, the butt cutting of the unit is carried out frame
spacing, gap, butt line
b) In case of side shell units the same procedure is carried out but correcting the
seam height first and then the butt line.

68

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

c) In deck units, the longitudinal and transverse continuity is checked with the
adjacent unit. Frame spacing and center line coincidence along with vertical
continuity is ensured. Strapping is carried out on one portion of the deck and then
the height corrected.

Major factors delaying erection of units :


a) Dimensional errors
b) Position of lifting hooks affecting erection of deck units
c) End connection of deck units in the transverse direction is angled such that
erection of starboard units to be carried out first.
d) Erection progress not in lieu with block erection plan as given by planning
department. This has resulted in excessive dry survey works.
e) Revision works not carried out in certain units
f) Lack of manhole access near erection butts

WELDING - Methods Used In CSL


In CSL, many modern methods of welding is practiced for ship building. Some of the
major methods are:

One Side Welding

Submerged Arc Welding

Spot Welding

Consumable nozzle Electro slag Welding

MIG (Metal Inert Gas Welding CO2) Welding

TIG (Tungston Inert Gas) Welding

Argon Arc Welding

Vertical Electro Gas Welding

Welding Defects
Mainly there are two types of Welding Defects:

Profile Defects

Insufficient Throat

Insufficient leg length

Excessive Convexity

Undercut

Overlap

Structural Defects

Porosity

Crack

Non-metallic Inclusion

Lack of Fusion

Lack of Penetration

Distortion

70

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

Porosity:
Gas pockets in welds are treated as porosity. Inclusion of atmospheric oxygen, nitrogen
or hydrogen due to improper shielding of molten metal and their entrapment or escape
during cooling causes this defect.
Cracks:
This is the most harmful defect and is classified as hot crack and cold crack. This can be
eliminated by using low hydrogen electrode for root runs and pre-heating the prepared
edges.
Non-metallic inclusion:
Inclusion of non-metallic body (foreign body or flux) inside the welding creates a weaker
weld section. Some reasons for this are, use of higher size electrodes and flow of slag
ahead of arc.
Lack of fusion:
Non-fusion of weld metal/base metal during welding process is termed as lack of
fusion. Reasons are, a. use of higher size electrode, b. higher travel speed of electrode, c.
insufficient current, and d. improper joint design.
Lack of penetration:
Another defect caused by low current and higher travel speed.
Distortion:
Distortion or change in shape or dimension during welding process. This is caused by
improper fixtures, weld sequence etc.

Testing methods of Welding:


There are three type of Testing methods:

Visual Inspection

Inspection for Crack

Omitted Welds

Fillet (Leg length)

Weld bead inspection

Weld reinforcement

WELDING PRECAUTIONS

We were again given a class about the precautions to be taken during welding process.
Some of the major steps regarding the same are:

As far as possible, welding should be symmetrical to avoid distortion.

In thick materials, it is desirable to balance the welding on each side of joint and
not to complete one side before commencing the other in order to reduce angular
distortion.

Efforts should be made to avoid welding in areas where shrinkage tends to take
place where this is unavoidable; the use of block sequence is advisable.

Sequence should be such as to permit each part freedom of movement in one or


more directions for as long a period as possible and to ensure that the joints which
undergo the greatest contraction should be welded first. This is achieved by
commencing welding at a central area at the center of each joint.

Welding should progress simultaneously on both sides of the ship so as to be


reasonably well balanced.

No weld should be continued across an unwelded joint in an adjacent member.

Welding should be stopped 300mm from unit butt, where a seam stiffener meets
an unwelded unit butt.

Seam are to be left unsecured on either side of the joint for at least 300mm, where
it is impractical to weld a butt before the plates on either side of the joints are
fixed in place.

Butt welds connecting continuous longitudinal and transverse framing should be


welded before attachment to the plating

Where framing stiffeners or floors are connected to a plate by fillet welds,


considerable shrinkage may occur.

Welding should come before riveting, to ensure that welds are not made under
constrains and rivets are not disturbed after being hammered.

The butt weld should neither finish nor start at the interaction.

OUTFIT DEPARTMENT:

The outfit department takes over the ship from the hull erection
department. The hull erection department assembles the blocks and the basic
structure is laid. Now the ship needs to be stuffed with all the equipments,
machinery and comfort. This is done in the outfit department. There is
outfitting of machineries, piping, electrical outfitting and accommodation
outfitting.
The outfitting department is now concerned with the production of
Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), which has an increase in demand over the
past few years. The platform supply vessel has got to carry a lot of cargo.
Therefore it is equipped with numerous tanks and machinery for its
transferring and discharging. A whole lot of piping is required to satisfy this
need efficiently. Therefore every work of the outfitting department goes
hand in hand with the other departments of the ship building department.

OPULSION AND STEERING TOGETHER

HATCH OPENINGS
2.1 GENERAL
The size of hatch openings can vary according to the different ship types. Hatchways in
container ships can cover almost the full breadth of the ship, while in general cargo ships
they are narrower.Special arrangements must be made to compensate for the structural
discontinuity caused by the openings.Insert plates of increased thickness are generally
required at the hatch corners; strengthened arrangements of hatch coamings and adjacent
structure with rounded hatch corners are normally fitted.INGSuirements
Adequate continuity of strength of longitudinal hatch coamings is to be ensured by
underdeck girders.According to the Load Line Convention, hatch coamings on weather
decks will generally not be less than 600 mm in height in position 1 and 450 mm in
height at position 2.
Thickness of hatch coamings is not to be less than 11 mm. Coamings higher than 600 mm
are to be stiffened in their upper part by a horizontal stiffener, horizontal bulb flat or
equivalent, and not be less than 180 mm in depth.
Additional support is to be given by brackets or stays from the bulb flat to the deck at
intervals of not more than 1.5m in general for ships carrying cargo on deck. Side
coamings are to extend to at least the lower edge of the deck beams.

Possible problems in hatch coamings


Hatch coamings are an important part of the structural strength of the ship and on that
basis must be checked very carefully. The main areas and problems to look for are as
follows:
Cracking in the coaming, coaming top, stays or deck at hatch corners.
General wastage of coaming and brackets or stays, and local wastage in inaccessible
areas.
Local wastage in way of cover-locking arrangements in the coaming top.
Condition of gutter and drainage arrangements, ensure drains are not blocked and the
proper
function of non-return valves, if fitted.
Grab or cargo damage to coamings and coaming tops, including gasket compression
bars.
The hatch covers are the devices needed to maintain weather tightness (or water
tightness) of the hatch. Hatch covers on exposed decks are to be weather tight. Hatch
covers in closed superstructures need not be weathertight.However, hatch covers fitted in
way of ballast tanks, fuel oil tanks or other tanks are to be watertight.
Weather tight, steel, mechanically operated hatch covers are the most frequent
arrangement found on board ships nowadays.

DOORS
OPENINGS IN WATERTIGHT BULKHEADS
Openings can be arranged in watertight bulkheads under certain conditions and
requirements.
Different requirements are provided for different types of openings, and taking into
account the
operational mode of the opening, in particular:
Opening used while at sea
Opening normally closed at sea
Opening permanently kept closed at sea

TYPES OF CARGO DOORS


Cargo doors are fitted in certain trades to provide access to between deck spaces, lift
trucks from the quay into the tween deck. Openings are cut into the shell plating and
arrangements must be made to maintain the strength, particularly in a longitudinal
dimension. The corners of all openings should be well rounded to avoid stress
concentration.
Typical are:
cargo ports - to facilitate the loading of stores, etc. - manually or hydraulically
operated, secured by closely
spaced dogs or bolts
slide doors, simple and fast to operate, hydraulically self closing, since the door is
forced
against the perimeter of the opening due to the eccentric path of its guide
rollers

83

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

BULWARKS, GUARD RAILS


Bulkwarks and guard rails are fitted for the safety of the passengers and crew, and play
no part in the structural strength of the vessel. They are usually 1 metre in height. Plated
bulwarks must be stiffened by a strong rail section and supported by stays from the
deck.Fitting of stays should be at every alternate frame. The stays should be fitted above
deck beams, beam knees or carlings. Flat bars will mostly be provided at the lower part
which will be effectively connected to the deck plating by welding. The thickness of the
bulwark plating forward, particularly where exposed to the wash of the sea, should be
increased and be equal to the thickness of the forecastle side plating. Where bulkwarks
form wells, ample provision should be made for freeing the decks of water as rapidly as
possible,so freeing ports must be provided. The area for freeing the decks on each side of
the vessel depends on the length of the well and should be properly calculated.

The lower port of the freeing point will be as near as possible to the deck and the
openings should be protected by rails spaced no more than 230 mm apart. If hinged doors
or shutters are fitted to freeing ports, they must have ample clearance to prevent jamming
and the pins or bearings must be made of corrosion resistant material.
If the construction of bulwarks were made integral with the sheerstrake, then the light
plating of the bulkwarks would be subjected to considerable stress with the possibility of
subsequent fracture.That would create a notch at the sheerstrake and might give rise to a
serious structural fracture.Particularly for ships where the strength deck is made of higher
tensile steel, smooth transitions should be provided at the end connection of the flat bar
faces to deck. An adequate number of expansion joints is to be provided in the bulkwark.
Sufficient flexibility of the stays adjacent to the expansion joints should also be provided.
The design of bulkwarks connection to deckhouse supports should be such as to avoid
cracks. Openings in the bulwarks must be sufficiently distant from the end bulkheads of
superstructures.Openings in bulwarks are to be arranged so that the protection of the crew
is to be at least equivalent to that provided by the horizontal courses.
For this purpose, vertical rails or bars spaced approximately 230 mm apart may be
accepted in lieu of rails or bars arranged horizontally.
Where guard rails are fitted, they will consist of courses of rails supported by stanchions
efficiently connected to the deck. The opening between the lowest course of rails and the
deck should not exceed 230 mm in height. Above that, course openings should not
exceed 380 mm in height. Where the vessel has a rounded gunwale, the stanchions must
be secured at the perimeter of the flat of the deck.

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

VENTILATORS
5.1 PURPOSE
Ventilators are necessary to give adequate air circulation to under deck spaces,
accommodation and tanks.
REQUIREMENTS
The coamings must have a minimum height above the surface of weather decks of 900
mm in position 1 and 760mm in position 2, see the Load Line Convention for details.
Where coamings exceed 900 mm in height they must be specially stayed.
All ventilator coamings are to be supplied with strong covers unless the height of the
coaming exceeds 4.5
Special care has to be taken with the design and positioning of ventilator openings and
coamings, particularly in regions of high stress concentration. Mushroom, gooseneck and
other similar minor ventilators will be strongly constructed and efficiently secured to the
deck.
Goose or swan neck type ventilators are mainly used for the air pipes to tanks. The
height of the opening must be not less than 760 mm on the freeboard deck and 450 mm
on the superstructure deck. Air pipes must be fitted at the opposite end of the tank to that
at which the filling pipe is placed and/or at the highest point of the tank.Sounding pipes
should be as straight as possible and should have a bore of not less than 32mm. Striking
plates of adequate thickness and size must be fitted under open- ended sounding pipes.
Air pipes, ventilators and their closing devices in the fore part of the ship (exposed decks
forward are to be designed considering the forces due to water on deck (green sea forces).
According to these forces the welding or flange connections, the toes of supporting
brackets and the penetration pieces are to be checked for stresses.
.
TO BE CHECKED
For ventilators on the main deck and accommodation, which require weathertight
closures, including wall ventilators in accommodation, the conditions of the following
items are checked during surveys:
coamings (for possible damage or wastage, especially in areas of difficult access,
particularly the areas
close to bulwarks)
lid, sealing gasket and retaining channel
hinges and dogs or clips

Note: * The indicated products are presently used for the purpose by the yard. It
may change with technological advancement.
The tanks 1,3,5 are also having heating provision to accelerate the process & air supply
for stirring. The duration of pickling depends on the surface and as per the
recommendation of chemical manufacturer.
Normally all the fabricated pipes of size 250NB and below (except those to be
galvanised) are Phosphated and passivated along with pickling unless otherwise
specified. All the Lub oil, H.F.O & Diesel oil pipes are oil coated inside after pickling
and outside is power tool cleaned to ST2, if found necessary, and applied the system
paints to prevent from re-rusting. Pipes for galvanizing (bilge, ballast, soil, scupper etc.)
are cleaned / acid pickled at the galvanizing plant. Hot dip galvanizing is adopted with
thickness 85 to 100 microns. The galvanized items are inspected prior to despatch to yard
by CSL representative and the inspection report will be maintained by CSL.
The outside of galvanized pipes is applied with system paint on outside after the
necessary etch priming as per the paint manufacturers recommendation. Normally the

94

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

paint system of surrounding area will be applied unless otherwise specified. Painting will
not be done on inside portion of galvanised pipes. The exhaust / steam / boiler feed water
/ hydraulic lines are also pickled and phosphated. The exhaust pipes higher than 250NB
are not pickled. The outside of exhaust pipes are prepared to ST2 and applied with heat
resistant paints as per the paint specification. The inside portion of exhaust pipes will not
be painted. Subsequent burnt/ welded / other rectified portion, if any, in galvanized pipes
are wire brushed and touched up with zinc primer recommended by paint supplier
followed by system paint. In the case of F.O, L.O and other non-galvanized pipes these
rectifications are wire brushed / ground and touched up by epoxy maintenance primer or
system primer followed by other coats of system paint. The application of paints on pipes
is carried out at shop level or onboard level at the convenience of yard. As a practice the
second finish coat is done at onboard, after installation / testing.

2. ONBOARD PIPES:
The onboard pipes are classified as follows:
2.a Prefabricated pipes with loose flanges/ adjust pipe
The loose flanges of these pipes are fitted after length correction and welded onboard.
The out side weld edges are wire brushed (Inside portion of welds and flange faces are
prepared as described in the case of prefabricated pipes) and touched up with zinc primer
(as per paint suppliers recommendation) in the case of galvanized pipes and system
primer or epoxy maintenance primer for F.O, L.O, and other lines. Thereafter it is
touched up with other coats of system paint. The preparations as indicated in 2.1 are
generally followed for these pipes wherever applicable.
2.b Templates
The required dimensions of these pipes are lifted from site and fed to pipe shop for
fabrication. The preparations as indicated in 2.1 are generally followed for these pipes
wherever applicable. In the case of black closing pieces of 150NB and above (which need
to be galvanised), the yard have the option of blast cleaning and painting it with Zinc
primer as per paint manufactures recommendation instead of galvanising.
It may be noted that Copper, Stainless Steel, Cupro nickel, GRP, PVC, Aluminium brass
pipes & Hydraulic bundles with PVC sheathing are not painted and are exempted from
above protection procedures. Similarly the outside of galvanized pipes which are coming
inside the ceiling / panelling / insulation are not painted.

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

3 PIPE PROTECTION
A comparison between CSL codes & Mastek codes reveals that CSL
four digit codes gives an indication about the type surface preparation, paint and number
of coats unlike the Mastek codes. The letter P in CSL codes denotes pickling and the
various stages (i.e.: Degreasing, Acid Pickling, Phosphating, Oil Coating etc.) will be
selected based on the system of pipeline whereas Mastek codes give clear distinction to
above stages of pickling. Similarly codes of all galvanized pipes are starting with G
which in general are cleaned / pickled at the galvanizing plant prior to galvanizing. In
order to use the advantages of both it is recommended to use the Mastek code for the
treatment and CSL codes of corresponding system of pipe (Refer Table- 13. for
guidance, note: this is project specific) for the paint selection. More over the allocation of
paint codes in Tribon modelling is in line with existing CSL codes and frequent changes
in the pattern with reference to project to project is not at all recommended.
For Platform supply vessels refer table 16 for guidance.

PREPARATION & PAINTING OF


OTHER OUTFIT ITEMS
Other outfit items (excluding pipes) include manholes, ladders,
platform, handrails, and seat of different machinery (mechanical & electrical) / mooring
items, pipe supports, steps, handgrips, ventilation trunks, small tanks, cable trays &
supports and other miscellaneous items. These items could be classified into two. i.e :
items which are subcontracted / fabricated outside CSL and those which are fabricated
inside CSL.
In general the welded / damaged portions of all the items
fabricated outside CSL shall be power brushed to ST2 and applied one coat of zinc
chromate / red lead primer to prevent rusting. These shall be applied with respective
system paint of surrounding area or as per the painting scheme after arrival at the yard at
shop/ block / onboard stage. Removal of original primer may be necessary in certain
cases based on the compatibility with system paint, which are done in consultation with
paint supplier related to the project. Subsequent burnt/ welded / damaged portion, if any,
are prepared to ST2 and touched up with system primer. In the case of galvanized items,
the damaged portion if any, shall be wire brushed and touched up with zinc primer as per
paint suppliers recommendation followed by system paint.
The item fabricated inside the yard may be applied with respective
system paint or with an epoxy maintenance primer (particularly w.r.t pipe supports/ trunk
supports etc.) in the yard at shop level after ST2 preparation of welded/ damaged portion.

96

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

Subsequent coat will be applied at shop/ block / onboard stages. In any case the second
finish coat will be applied at onboard stage.
In general the weld/ burnt/ mechanically damaged portion of
electrical cable tray, supports etc are St2 prepared and applied with the specified area
system paint as per the Painting Scheme of the vessel (Exposed deck, accommodation
outside, accommodation inside area, Engine room inside, other rooms inside etc.).
However, if no specific reference is made, the practice is to apply 2 coats of Alkyd
primer (Zinc Chromate) and an alkyd finish as per the surrounding area (white). In the
case of galvanised tray/ rack/ hanger / supports an etch primer as per paint suppliers
recommendation followed by above coats shall be applied.
The seat of different machinery (both mechanical & electrical) shall
be painted with the adjacent area painting after St2 preparation of weld/ burnt/
mechanically damaged portion if no specific reference is made in the Painting Scheme of
the subject vessel. Normally the required paint codes as described in Chapter 4 is
indicated in each seat fabrication drawing with expansion of codes for easy
understanding. The paint code may be derived based on the Painting Scheme of the
subject vessel.
Small outfitting like handrails, stanchions, handgrips, gratings
etc. is normally galvanized. The approximate thickness of galvanizing is 85 to 100
microns. The items to be fitted inside H.F.O, D.O, and L.O tanks need not be galvanized.
These are oil smeared after installation onboard along with the oil smearing of tanks.
Surface will be cleaned and burnt/ weld/ damaged portions are wire brushed prior to oil
smearing. Galvanized items will be coated with painting system at onboard stage after the
necessary etch priming as per the paint manufactures recommendation. Similarly
galvanized trunks outside of ceiling / panelling/ insulation will be coated with etch primer
and finish colour of surrounding area based on suppliers recommendation. Inside portions
of galvanized trunks are not painted.
Wooden items will be cleaned and coated with a coat of wood primer
followed with enamel finish paint preferably white in colour.

STANDARD PAINTING CODES FOR PIPES & FITTINGS


Introduction
The painting codes indicate the type/ system of paint to be applied to main equipments,
hull fittings, machinery fittings, electrical fittings and pipes in various areas in a ship.
This is made in line with the IHOP (Integrated Hull Outfitting & Painting) construction
method in Shipbuilding. The earlier issue on this dated Sept 2003 is updated
incorporating the requirements for bulk carrier construction.

Various types paints are abbreviated as shown in Table 1. Paint group denotes the type of
paint as shown in Table 3. Paint code matrix is (tables 5 to 10 are derived) based on the
contemporary paint systems on different areas of various vessels with a scope for future
addition. It may be noted that for a particular project all the codes in the table are not at
all required. But the same is incorporated for a reference purpose covering a wide
spectrum. The details of codes applicable to pipes with respect to a particular ship shall
be issued by design department along with the painting scheme of vessel. In the case of
ongoing projects ATCO Tugs & Bulk Carrier the relevant codes are explained in Table
12 & 13.
The code for a particular item (fittings/pipes) in an area may differ from project to project
based on the painting scheme of a vessel with respect to that area.
In the case of fittings/ pipe supports instances are not rare that instead of applying all
coats of paints, an item may be painted with an epoxy maintenance primer (compatible
for all subsequent coats) just after fabrication. In such cases the whole system of paint as
indicated in the code will be applied at onboard stage along with the painting of
surrounding area.
Selection of codes for various fittings / pipes
This shall be carried out based on the paint system applicable for the surrounding area of
which the item is a part. The paint code only describes the type of paint and note the
brand / colour which differs from Maker to Maker/ Project to Project.

TRIBON
The Tribon system has been specifically designed to provide a structured way to
develop and improve the information flow between the different tasks within the ship
building process, where many design development task are performed in parallel. The
requirements of the complete information flow have been considered and so the system is
not just a computerization of a conventional manual process
The Tribon system is based on the use of a product information model (PIM) database,
Which has been designed to handle in an efficient way all of the structural and outfit
objects found in the shipbuilding industry. The information on PIM contains all the
technical data that is needed to define the final product. All type of drawings and reports
can be derived from the model.
The concept with one common product information model or ship database for each
project being used by all designers and production planners means that the information
stored in the
The core of Tribon system is the product Information Model database.This can be
regarded as a comprehensive Ship Database containing all information about a specific
project.The database is object-oriented in the sense that all design and production data is
stored as objects.
These objects are all of the types of physical item found in ship construction, e.g.
systems,components,assemblies,pipes, equipments,bracets,cables,plates,stiffeners, etc
the description of each type of object is formulated I such a way as to conain all the
necessary technical data and/or properties, which are required in order to describe a
particular instance of the object .the technical data and /or properties are then used to
derive the graphical representation of the object for use in symbolic sketches or in2d or
3d views,depending on the context of the presentation.when design modification are
necessary it is this technical data ,which is changed rather thanthe graphical information
,as would be the case in most other CAD systems.
Two important concepts are used in the tribon product information Model
implementation in order to enable the system to handle the large volume of data that
represent a complete ship with good response performance and with realistic data base
sizes.
Firstly, all data is stored using Object THechnology in which geometry is not explicitly
stored,but is derived as and when needed from the stored technical data.
Secondly, a combination of solid and Light Solid are used for model display and model
development ,again to give a good optimum Performance .Light solids are simplified way
of storing and handling solid primitieve and in which a canonical representation is used
instead of a boundary representation .

Software use for designing of ships: TRIBON


Building a ship involves a great amount of work and coordination. It also takes
considerable time and effort from each of the personnel involved to complete the project
within the deadline. The various departments involved in the project have to work in
tandem, with the inputs from each section taken into account.
The Tribon software has efficient methods and tools to coordinate the various
activities involved in the shipbuilding and to handle the complex flow of information
between everyone involved. Tribon takes into consideration all the needs of shipbuilding
such as design, production, delivery, classification and maintenance. Tribon technology
allows the storage and dev elopement of the complete design in one large database
available to all. The results in a shorter design time, more accurate, less paper work and
duplication work. This software provides accurate and up to date information. The use of
Tribon shows a saving of about 30% design man hours and about 8% in production
man hours, as compared to the previous methods of design and production.
Tribon was initially known as steer bear, developed by a Swedish company, Its
name was then changed to Autokon. Further development took place under the name of
Tribon M1 that was later upgraded to Tribon M2. Tribon M3, which is most advanced in
the Tribon series, has been released lately and is being used in MDL.
Tribon is being taken over by a British Company Aveva and the upcoming
versions will be known as Aveva AB. Steer bear was a software system which worked
only in VMS mode, whereas Autokon was developed as a system for Unix mode. Tribon
is based of Windows NT and Windows 2000, so working with them becomes easier. In
Tribon there is an option to use Oracle as the database management system.

3D modeling can be seen

DISADVANTAGE

Cost of the software is very high


There should be basic knowledge required or skill
Workmen are required
Consuming more time for making component data bank.

DESIGN PROBLEM
Ship design is a complex process. The principal fact in this process is the
creativity involved in designing a good functional unit,the ship which meets the various
regulatory body requirements and the design practices and meet the owners requirement
Basic design involves the determination of major characteristics affecting cost and
performance like,
a) Main Dimensions: Length, breadth, draft and depth
b) Hull form: Lines design
c) Power: Resistance and powering
d) Preliminary general arrangement
e) Major structure
The proper selection of the above should satisfy the following mission requirements

107

DEPT OF SHIP TECHNOLOGY , CUSAT

CSL TRAINING REPORT 2011

1. Good sea keeping performance


2. Manoeuvrability
3. The desired speed
4. Endurance
5. Cargo capacity
6. Required deadweight
The project involves the basic design of a double skin crude oil tanker with the said
specifications and encompasses:
a) Concept Design
b) Preliminary Design
a) Concept Design
This includes the technological feasibility studies to determine the fundamental elements
of the vessel such as length, breadth, draught, depth, block coefficient, power or
alternative sets of characteristics which meet the required speed , deadweight. It includes
the preliminary light ship weight estimates. The selected basic design forms the basis of
obtaining the approximate cost.
b) Preliminary Design
It refines the major ship characteristics affecting cost and performance. Certain
controlling factors like the length, breadth, horsepower and deadweight are not expected
to change upon completion of this phase. Its completion provides a precise definition of
the vessel that would meet the mission requirements. A ship is essentially a part of
profitable transportation, industrial or service system . Hence the visibility of its
economic operation is a major factor. It also involves a continuous interaction with the
production processes and the procedures in the shipyards. The design that is created
therefore must be producible at a low initial cost.
Owners Requirement
1. Type: Double Skin Crude Oil Tanker
2. Deadweight: 94500 t
3. Service Speed: 14.75 knots
4. Range: 2352 nm

WORK STUDY
The object of work study is to determine the best method of performing an operation to
eliminate wastage and increase productivity. It is also used to determine the standard time
that should take by a qualified worker to perform the operation when working at normal
pace.
Work Study deals with problems as:
How should a job be done?
This is found out by Motion Study, Method Study or by Work Samplification
How much time a job should take?
This is found out by Time Study of Work Measurement
PERT (Programme Evaluation Review Technique)
PERT is a way of scheduling to minimize the production delay by coordinating
and synchronizing the various activities of overall job and expediting the completion of
the job. PERT is a method of scheduling and budgeting resources.
CPM
It is an activity oriented management technique for scheduling and controlling the
various activities of a project. The path along the network in which EARLIEST FINISH
and LATEST FINISH are equal is known as CRITICAL PATH and is represented by
double line or thick line. More attention is given to this path, because a slight delay in
this path will effect adversely on completion of the total project. In brief, CPM method is
the shotest path or critical path through which the completion of production can be
attained.

MAINTENANCE
The useful life of equipment and consequently the extend of its productive
capacity depends on how well the unit is maintained. Maintenance means the efforts
directed towards the up-keeping of that machine. There are two types of maintenance. 1
Break down maintenance and 2. Preventive maintenance.

1. Break down Maintenance:


This Is done after the break down that occurs 1. due to unpredictable failure of
components or 2. due to gradual wear and tear of parts. In BDM, defects are rectified
only when the machine cannot perform its function any longer. BDM disrupts the whole
production and is expensive due to OT for the maintenance staff for emergency repair.

2. Preventive maintenance.
This is the scheduled maintenance to keep the machine in operational condition.
This aims to locate the sources of trouble and to avoid them before the break down
occurs. PM is done to set maximum availability of the machine in operational condition,
to minimize wear and tear, to ensure safety of workers, and to increase the production
efficiency.

Advantages of Preventive maintenance:

Reduction in production down time.


Lesser OT pay for maintenance staff.
Lesser no of stand-by eqpt are needed.
Lesser expenditure on repairs.
Greater safety to workers.
Lesser spare parts are reqd to be kept in stores, as it a scheduled affair.

ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES


To control the wastage of electrical energy by various means, the Govt of India enacted
a law namely THE ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT 2001 to provide efficient use
of electrical energy and its conservation. As per the Act, CSL conducted studies on
energy consumption. This study brought out some facts and suggestions to save 6%
energy. CSLs monthly electric consumption is 10.00,000 units and bill amount comes to
Rs. 40,00,000. By analysis, CSL consumption breaks up is as follows:
WELDING
AIR COMPRESSORS
LIGHTING & VENTILATIONCRANES & OTHER EQPT PUMPS
-

34%
24%
16%
15%
11%

CSL CAN IINTRODUCE THE FOLLOWING STEPS FOR


EFFETIVE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

Optimisation of transformer off-loading at local sub stations.


Conversion of HPMV (High Power Mercury Vapour) to HPSV (High Power
Sodium Vapour) Lamps. Ie. 1000W HPMV to 400W HPSV, 400W HPMV to
250W HPSV, 250W HPMV to 70W HPSV etc.
Replacement of 40W Copper Ballast with 36W Electronic Choke.
Replacement of 40W Fluorescent Tubelights with 36W Fluorescent Tubelights.
Replacement of 100W/60W Incandescent Bulbs with 11W/9W CFL Lamps.
Prevention of Compressor leakage by periodical inspection.
Installation of energy efficient motors and Electronic regulators.
Minimise the use of cranes, as they are the major power consuming agents.
Bring the controls of welding sets to Primary side from secondary side.
Install Display Boards with Energy Saver Logos like SAVE ENERGY,

Observation and suggestions


1.Manhour Utilization:
In CSL, it is noticed that loss of manhour occurs at various intervals, particularly at late
punching, tea break, lunch break and at the end of the shift. This is to be strictly
controlled and minimized to achieve more productive manhours.
2.Material Supply:
Non availability of materials is the major delaying factor of ship building. So it is
essential to find out more reliable, cheap and prompt sources of ship building materials to
build ships in scheduled time and at reduced cost.
3.Outsourcing:
CSL is reaching the near saturation point of capacity utilization. To face this crisis we
have to find additional manpower from outsourcing the building works as far as possible.
4.Stop Drop Outs:
A tendency is noticed in CSL that after hitech training, the trainees and workers at junior
level leave CSL for their better prospects. This is very dangerous to our productivity and
should be avoided to keep it stable, especially at this stage which nearing massive
retirement of experienced senior workmen.
5.Waste Elimination and Value Engg:
Conduct awareness classes to the workforce on material wastage. Waste elimination and
value engineering efforts should be encouraged.
6.Young Engineers:
In the light of senior experienced engineers getting retired from CSL massively, the
shortage of such key roles should be filled by recruitment and training of new young
engineers.

WAYS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTION


1. Avoid Revision / Modification in prodn drgs and do necessary correction in design
drgs. for further vessels.
2. Maintain dimensional accuracy in each stage (Marking to Erection)
3. Proper allocation and control of manpower, machines and materials.
4. Realistic planning and scheduling and proper follow up and corrections wherever
required.
5. Allocate suitable work to suitable person.
6. Proper motivation of workers in terms of money and morality.
7. Development of Infrastructure.
8. Training to workers in latest technology

Ship Repair in India


Favourable:

India needs 5000 dry-dock days /year for Indian flag commercial vessels, whereas
the availability is only around 3000.
Labour Cost is the major category of a SR project. Skilled Labour is available in
India and is cheaper ( th that of Korea and Singapore)
There is ready market due to the wide gap between demand and supply.
Around 60% of Indian Fleets are more than 10-15 years old.

Against:

Indian yards are slow, whereas SR works has to be completed very fast.
Non availability of Materials at right time.
Procedural Delay, as most of the yards are in Public sector.
Due to uneconomic business volume, supplier hesitates to stock the materials.
Hence even indigenous items have to be procured from far away places, which
causes delay and high cost.
Since SR is labour-oriented, high financial motivation (OT) is required to ensure
maximum output.

CONCLUSION
Our industrial training in Cochin shipyard is very successful. It was a great learning
experience at csl. It was here that made me aware about what a ship is all about. I got
familiar with most of the system of a ship with their functions and needs. I got the
opportunity to deal with most of the machinery which constitute a Platfform Supply
Vessel.
