Displacement= 128.8 m
6.1 General
6.1.1 The following definitions apply except where they
are inappropriate or where specifically defined otherwise.
6.2 Principal particulars

6.2.1 Rule length, LR, is the distance, in metres, on the
summer load waterline from the forward side of the stem to
the after side of the rudder post or to the centre of the rudder
stock if there is no rudder post. LR is to be not less than
96 per cent, and need not be greater than 97 per cent, of the
extreme length on the summer load waterline. In craft without
rudders, the Rule length, LR, is to be taken as 97 per cent of
the extreme length on the summer load waterline. In craft with
unusual stem or stern arrangements the Rule length, LR, will
be specially considered.
LR= 23.28 m
Eco-Tourism/Kayak Mothership 1
6.2.2 Length between perpendiculars, Lpp, is the

distance, in metres, on the summer load waterline from the
fore side of the stem to the after side of the rudder post, or to
the centre of the rudder stock if there is no rudder post. In
craft with unusual stern arrangements the length, Lpp, will be
specially considered. The forward perpendicular, F.P., is the
perpendicular at the intersection of the summer load waterline
the perpendicular at the intersection of the summer load
waterline with the after side of the rudder post or to the centre
of the rudder stock for craft without a rudder post.
Lpp= 23.00 m
6.2.3 Load line length, LL, is to be taken as 96 per cent

of the total length on a waterline at 85 per cent of the least
moulded depth measured from the top of the keel, or as the
length from the fore side of the stem to the axis of the rudder
stock on that waterline, if that is greater. In craft designed with
a rake of keel, the waterline on which this length is measured
is to be parallel to the designed waterline. The length LL is to
be measured in metres.
LL= 22.63 m
6.2.4 Length overall, LOA, is the distance, in metres,

measured parallel to the static load waterline from the foreside
of the stem to the after side of the stern or transom, excluding
rubbing strakes and other projections.
LOA= 26.90 m
6.2.5 Length waterline, LWL , is the distance, in metres,

measured on the static load waterline from the foreside of the
stem to the after side of the stern or transom.
6.2.6 Amidships is to be taken as the middle of the Rule
length, LR, measuring from the forward side of the stem.
LWL = 24.00 m
6.2.7 Breadth, B, is the greatest moulded breadth, in

metres.
B= 7.41 m
6.2.8 Depth, D, is measured, in metres, at the middle of

the Rule length, LR, from top of keel to top of the deck beam
at side on the uppermost continuous deck, or as defined in
appropriate Chapters. When a rounded gunwale is arranged,
the depth D is to be measured to the continuation of the
moulded deck line at side.
D= 3.28 m
6.2.9 Draught, T, is the summer draught, in metres,

measured from top of keel.
T= 1.70 m
6.2.10 Block coefficient, Cb, is the moulded block

coefficient at draught T corresponding to summer load
waterline, based on Rule length LR and moulded breadth B,
as follows:
Cb = 0.439
Part 5 Chapter 2 Section 2 Definitions and Symbols
2.1.2 Allowable speed V. The allowable speed used in

the computation of environmental loads is the design speed, in
knots, associated with a nominated operational environment in
which the craft is certified at corresponding operational
displacement.
V= 11 knots
2.1.7 Froude Number Fn. The Froude Number is a nondimensional

speed parameter and is defined as:
where:
g is the acceleration due to gravity and is taken to be 9,81 m/s2.
Vm is the appropriate speed in knots

= 2.245
2.2 Symbols
2.2.1 xwl = longitudinal distance, in metres, measured forwards
from the aft end of the LWL to the position or centre
of gravity of the item being considered
z = vertical distance, in metres, from the baseline to

the position of centre of gravity of the item being
considered. z is positive above the baseline
Normally the following definitions are to be applied:

z is to be taken at one third of the panel or strake height
For short stiffener members: z is to be taken at the
stiffener mid position
For long stiffener members: z is generally to be

taken at the stiffener mid position, but may need to
be specially considered, especially when there is a
significant pressure variation along its length
zk = vertical distance of the underside of the keel above

the baseline, in metres, see Fig. 2.2.4
Tx = local draught to operating waterline at longitudinal

position under consideration measured above the
baseline is to be taken as the horizontal plane
passing through the bottom of the moulded hull at
midships, see Fig. 2.2.4.

7.2 Watertight and deep tank bulkheads

7.2.1 The design pressure, Pbh, on watertight and deep
tank bulkheads is to be taken as:
where:
hb = load head in metres, measured vertically as follows:
(a) Watertight bulkheads
(i) Plating: the distance from a point one-third of the
height of the plate above its lower edge to the
bulkhead deck at side.
(ii) Stiffeners: the distance from mid-point of stiffener
span to the bulkhead deck at side.
(b) Deep tank bulkheads

For determination of head, the overflow is to be taken as
not less than 1,8 m above the crown of the tank.
(i) Plating: the greater of:
the distance from a point one-third of the height
of the plate above its lower edge to the top of the tank
half the distance from a point one third of the
height of the plate above its lower edge to the top
of the overflow.
(ii) Stiffeners: the greater of:
the distance from mid-point of span to the top of the tank
half the distance from mid point of span to the
top of the overflow.

Part 3 Chapter 2 Section 4 Bulkhead Arrangements
4.1 General
4.1.1 Watertight bulkheads are, in general, to extend to
the uppermost continuous watertight deck, hereafter referred
to as the bulkhead deck, and their construction is to be in
accordance with Parts 6, 7 and 8 as appropriate.
4.1.2 Where openings are permitted in bulkheads they are

to be provided with suitable closing devices in accordance with Ch 4,2.
4.2 Number and disposition of bulkheads

4.2.1 All craft with a Rule length, LR, greater than 15 m are
to have a collision bulkhead.
4.2.3 In all craft with a Rule length, LR, less than or equal
to 25 m, the sterntube is to be enclosed in a watertight
compartment, wherever practicable.
to have an aft peak bulkhead, generally enclosing the sterntubes
i a watertight
in t ti ht compartment.
t t
to have a watertight bulkhead at each end of the
machinery space, where the machinery is amidships or a
watertight bulkhead at the forward end of the machinery
space, where the machinery is aft.
to have a watertight bulkhead at each end of the
machinery space, with the aft peak bulkhead forming the aft
bulkhead of the machinery space, where the machinery is aft.
4.2.7 Additional watertight bulkheads are to be fitted so that the total

number of bulkheads is at least in accordance with Table 2.4.1.
LR= 23.28 m
Machinery amidships

q bulkheads. Vessel has 4 so acceptable.

4.3 Collision bulkhead

4.3.1 The collision bulkhead in all craft other than
passenger craft, patrol craft and yachts is to be positioned as
detailed in Table 2.4.2. Consideration will, however, be given to
proposals for the collision bulkhead to be positioned slightly
further aft on Arrangement (b) craft, but not more than 0,08LL
from the fore end of LL, provided that the application is
accompanied by calculations showing that flooding of the space
forward of the collision bulkhead will not result in any part of the
freeboard deck becoming submerged, or any unacceptable loss of stability.
4.3.2 The collision bulkhead in passenger craft is to be in

accordance with the following:
(a) A craft shall have a forepeak or collision bulkhead, which
shall be watertight up to the bulkhead deck. (The
bulkhead deck is the uppermost deck up to which the
transverse watertight bulkheads are carried, see 4.2.10).
This bulkhead is to be positioned as detailed in Table 2.4.3.
Vessel has a bulbous bow therefore arrangement (b)

G= 1.406 m

Minimum: 0.05 x 23.00 0.345

0.805 m
Maximum: 3 0.05(23.00) 0.345

3.805 m
The vessel has the collision bulkhead located at 1.476m from the fore end of Lpp.
This is acceptable for these rules. However, its location was chosen using
Transport Canada TP11717: The Standards and Construction of Small Passenger Vessels
These rules state:
TP 5.2 Peak and Machinery Space Bulkheads

TP 5.2.1 Every vessel must have a collision bulkhead.
TP 5.2.2 Each collision bulkhead required by subsection 5.2.1, must be

constructed in accordance with section 5.3, and
(a) if the vessel has a long forward superstructure it must extend
weathertight to the deck above the bulkhead deck for service on
other than home-trade Class IV and minor waters Class I or II. The
extension need not be fitted directly above the bulkhead below
provided it is located within the limits specified in paragraph
TP 5.2.3. (a) and the part of the deck which forms the step is made
effectively weathertight;
(b) shall not be fitted with any type of penetration or opening except
as allowed elsewhere in these Standards.
TP 5.2.3 The collision bulkhead shall be:

(a) located at least 5 per cent but not more than 8 per cent of the
maximum load water line length from the forward perpendicular;
and
(b) installed in a single plane, with no recess or step, and shall be
watertight up to the bulkhead deck.
Minimum:
1 200 m from FP
1.200
Maximum:
1.920 m from FP
4.3.4 For craft with pronounced rake of stem, the

position of the collision bulkhead will be specially considered.
4.5 Height of bulkhead

4.5.1 The collision bulkhead is normally to extend to the
uppermost continuous deck or, in the case of craft with
combined bridge and forecastle or a long superstructure
which includes a forecastle, to the superstructure deck.
However, if a craft is fitted with more than one complete
superstructure deck, the collision bulkhead may be
terminated at the deck next above the freeboard deck
deck. Where
the collision bulkhead extends above the freeboard deck, the
extension need only be to weathertight standards.
4.5.2 The aft peak bulkhead may terminate at the first

deck above the load waterline, provided that this deck is
made watertight to the stern or to a watertight transom floor.
In passenger craft the aft peak bulkhead is to extend
watertight to the bulkhead deck. However, it may be stepped
below the bulkhead deck provided the degree of safety of the
craft as regards watertight subdivision is not thereby diminished.
4.5.3 The remaining watertight bulkheads are to extend
to the bulkhead deck. In passenger craft of restricted draught
and all craft of unusual design, the height of the bulkheads will
be specially considered.
Part 3 Chapter 2 Section 5 Fore and Aft End Arrangements
5.4 Minimum bow height and reserve buoyancy

5.4.1 All sea-going craft are to be fitted with forecastles,
or increased sheer on the upper deck or equivalent, such that
the distance from the summer load waterline to the top of the
exposed deck at side at the F.P. is not less than:
where
d1 = draught at 85 per cent of the depth D, in metres

Vessel has 2610mm bow height at FP so it is acceptable.
5.4.2 Craft which are designed to suit exceptional operational requirements,

restricted in their service to Group G1, or of novel configuration
will be specially considered on the basis of the Rules.
5.4.3 Where the bow height required in 5.4.1 is obtained

by sheer, the sheer shall extend for at least 15 per cent of the
length of the craft measured abaft the forward end of LL.
Where it is obtained by fitting a forecastle
forecastle, the forecastle shall
extend from the stem to a point at least 0,07LL abaft the
forward end of LL, and shall be enclosed.
5.4.4 Craft shall have additional reserve buoyancy in the

fore end in accordance with the Load Lines Convention.
5.7 Bulbous bows

5.7.1 Where a bulbous bow is fitted, the structural
arrangements are to be such that the bulb is adequately
supported and integrated into the fore peak structure.
5.7.2 At the fore end of the bulb the structure is generally to

be supported by horizontal diaphragm plates spaced
generally 1,0 m apart in conjunction with a deep centreline web.
5.7.3 In general, vertical transverse diaphragm plates are to be arranged

in way of the transition from the peak framing to the bulb framing.
5.7.4 In way of a wide bulb, additional strengthening in the

form of a centreline wash bulkhead is generally to be fitted.
5.7.5 In way of a long bulb, additional strengthening in the form of

transverse wash bulkheads or substantial web frames spaced
about five frame spaces apart are generally to be fitted.
5.7.6 The shell plating is to be increased in thickness at

the fore end of the bulb and in other areas likely to be
damaged by the anchors and chain cables. The increased
plate thickness is to be the same as that required for plated stems.
Part 3 Chapter 2 Section 6 Machinery Space Arrangements
6.9 Machinery seatings

6.9.1 Main and auxiliary engines in motor and auxiliary
sailing craft are to be effectively secured to the hull structure
by seatings of adequate scantlings to resist the gravitational,
thrust,, torque
q and vibrating g forces which mayy be imposed
p upon
p them.
6.9.2 The longitudinal girders forming the engine

seatings are to extend as far forward and aft as practicable and
be adequately supported by transverse floors or brackets.
6.9.3 In determining the scantlings of seats for oil engines, consideration is

to be given to the general rigidity of the engine itself and
to its design characteristics with regard to out of balance forces
forces.
6.9.4 The seats are to be so designed that they distribute

the forces from the engine(s) as uniformly as possible into the
supporting structure. Longitudinal girders supporting the
seatings are to be arranged in single or double bottoms, and
are, in general to extend over the full length of the machinery
space. The ends of the girders are to be scarfed into the
bottom structure for at least two frame spaces. Adequate
transverse brackets are to be arranged in line with floors.
Small brackets may be required under the top plate in way of
holding down bolts.
The scantling calculations for machinery seats are exactly the same as
for bottom girders.

1.14 Convex curvature correction

1.14.1 The thickness of plating as determined by the Rules
may be reduced where significant curvature exists between
the supporting members. In such cases a plate curvature
correction factor may be applied:
= plate curvature factor

h = the distance,
distance in mm
mm, measured perpendicularly
from the chord length, s, (i.e. spacing) to the
highest point of the curved plating arc between the
two supports, see Fig. 3.1.1.
1.15 Aspect ratio correction

1.15.1 The thickness of plating as determined by the Rules may be
reduced when the panel aspect ratio is taken into consideration.
In such cases a panel aspect ratio correction factor may be applied:

= AR (1 0 25AR) ffor AR 2
0,25AR)
= 1 for AR > 2
AR = panel aspect ratio = panel length/panel breadth.
= 1 0.25(500 /1900)

1.16 Plating general

1.16.1 The requirements for the thickness of plating, tp, is,
in general, to be in accordance with the following:
where
f = limiting
g bending
g stress coefficient for the plating
p g
element under consideration given in Table 7.3.1 in Chapter 7.
1.17 Stiffening general

1.17.1 The requirements for section modulus, inertia and
web area of stiffening members are, in general, to be in
(a) Section modulus:
where
Z = section modulus coefficient dependent on the
loading model assumption taken from Table 3.1.1
f = limiting bending stress coefficient for stiffening
member given in Table 7.3.1 in Chapter 7.

given in Table 7.2.1 in Chapter 7.
(c) Web area:
A = web area coefficient dependent on the loading

model assumption taken from Table 3.1.1
f = limiting shear stress coefficient for stiffener member
given in Table 7.3.1 in Chapter 7
1.19 Determination of span point

1.19.1 The effective span length, le, of a stiffening member
is generally less than the overall length, l, by an amount which
depends on the design of the end connections. The span
points, between which the value of le is measured, are to be
determined as follows:
(a)
( ) For rolled or built-up
p secondaryy stiffening
g members:
The span point is to be taken at the point where the
depth of the end bracket, measured from the face of the
secondary stiffening member, is equal to the depth of the
member, see Fig. 3.1.2. Where there is no end bracket,
the span point is to be measured between primary member webs.
(b) For primary support members:

Th span point
The i t is
i to

b taken
t k att a point
i t distant,
di t t be, ffrom
the end of the member
where be, bb, dw and db are as shown in Fig. 3.1.2.
1.21 Scantlings of end brackets

1.21.1 Where a longitudinal strength member is cut at a
primary support and the continuity of strength is provided by
brackets, the scantlings of the brackets are to be such that
their section modulus and effective cross-sectional area are
not less than those of the member. Care is to be taken to
ensure correct alignment of the brackets on each side of the
primary member
member.
1.21.2 In other cases the scantlings of the bracket are to

be based on the modulus as follows:
(a) Bracket connecting stiffener to primary member
modulus of the stiffener.
(b) Bracket at the head of a main transverse frame where
frame terminates modulus of the frame.
(c) Brackets connecting lower deck beams or longitudinals
to the main frame in the forward 0,5LR modulus of the frame.
(d) Elsewhere the lesser modulus of the members being
connected by the bracket.
Sample calculation will be done on the main deck bracket on frame 29.

Section modulus of deck frame FR. 29 = 7.33 cm
As calculated later in 8.7.2
1.21.3 The web thickness and face flat area of end

brackets are not in general to be less than those of the
connecting stiffeners. Additionally, the stiffener proportion
requirements of 1.18 are to be satisfied.
1.21.4 Typical arrangements of stiffener end brackets are

shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3.1.3.
1.21.5 The lengths, a and b, of the arms are to be measured from

the plating to the toe of the bracket and are to be such that:
(a) a + b 2,0lb
(b) a 0,8l
0 8lb
(c) b 0,8lb
where a and b are the actual lengths of the two arms of the
bracket, in mm, measured from the plating to the toe of the bracket.
Z = th
the section

d l off th
the secondary
d b iin cm3
member,
In no case is lb to be taken as less than twice the web depth of
the stiffener on which the bracket scantlings are to be based.
FR.29 Main Deck Bracket:

7.33

14 7.33
lb= 29.26 mm
(a) 58.52 mm
(b) 23.41 mm
(c) 23.41 mm
Therefore the minimum lengths of the arms is 23.41mm. However,

a+b must be at least 58 58.52
52 mm
mm. Therefore
Therefore, legs shall be 30mm each
each.
If the stiffener is a 2.5 x 2.0 x 5/16" OA(Z=9.6cm3) then the legs must be
twice 2.5 inches which would be 127mmm.
1.21.6 The free edge of the bracket is to be stiffened

where any of the following apply:
(a) The section modulus, Z, exceeds 500 cm3.
(b) The length of free edge exceeds 40 times the bracket thickness.
(c) The bracket is fitted at the lower end of main transverse side framing.
The free edge of the main deck bracket at frame 29 does not need to be stiffened.

5.3.2 Centreline girders are to be formed of intercostal or

continuous plate webs with a face flat welded to the upper
edge. In all cases the face flat is to be continuous. Where
girder webs are intercostal, additional bracketing and local
reinforcement will be required to maintain the continuity of
structural strength.
5.3.3 The web depth of the centre girder is in general to

be equal to the depth of the floors at the centreline as
specified in 5.5.3.
depth centre girder= 407.92 mm

Af= 5.587 cm
5.3.8 The face flat thickness is to be not less than the thickness of the web.
5.3.9 The ratio of the width to thickness of the face flat is

to be not less than 8 but is not to exceed 16
16.
5.4 Side girders

5.4.1 Where the floor breadth at the upper edge exceeds
6,0 m side girders are to be fitted at each side of the centre
girder such that the spacing between the side and centre
girders or between the side girders themselves is not greater
than 3 metres. Side girders where fitted are to extend as far
forward and aft as practicable and are, in general, to terminate
in way of bulkheads
bulkheads, deep floors or other primary transverse structure
structure.
5.4.2 The web thickness of side girders is to be taken as

not less than:
tw 1* 23.28
tw= 4.82 mm
5.4.3 The face flat area and thickness of side girders are to comply
with the requirements for plate floors as defined in 5.5.6 and 5.5.7.
5.4.4 Watertight side girders and side girders forming the

boundaries of tank spaces, are also to comply with the
requirements

detailed in 7.3 and 7.5 respectively.
5.4.5 In the engineroom, additional side girders are

generally to be fitted in way of main machinery seatings.
Where fitted, they are to be integrated into the structure of the
craft and extended forward and aft as far as practicable.
5.5 Floors general

5.5.1 In transversely framed craft, plate floors are generally to be fitted at each frame.
5.5.3 The overall depth, df, of plate floors at the centreline

is not to be taken as less than:
d f 40(7.41 0.85 x 3.28)

df= 407.92 mm
5.5.4 The web thickness, tw, of plate floors, is to be

accordance with 1.18 and is to be taken as not less than:
3.4 x 407.92 500

t w 1 2.25 0.5
1000 1000
tw= 3.64 mm
5.5.5 If the side frames of the craft are attached to the floors
b b
by brackets,
k t the
th depth
d th off flfloor may be
b reduced
d d by

15 per cent and the floor thickness determined using the
reduced depth. The brackets are to be flanged and have the
same thickness as the floors, and their arm lengths clear of the
frame are to be the same as the reduced floor depth given above.
5.5.6 The face flat area of floors, Af, is not to be taken as

less than:
A f 1 x 0.15 x 23.28
Af= 3.492 cm2 = 349.2 mm2
Face flat width = 349.2/6 = 58.2 mm
5.5.7 The face flat thickness is to be not less than the

thickness of the web and the ratio of the web to the thickness
of the face flat is to be not less than 8 but is not to exceed 16.
5.5.9 Floors are generally to be continuous from side to side.
5.5.10 The tops of floors, in general, may be level from

side to side. However, in craft having considerable rise of floor
the depth of the floor plate may require to be increased to
maintain the required section modulus.
5.5.11 The floors in the aft peak are to extend over and
provide effective support to the stern tube(s) where applicable.

5.5.12 Watertight floors,
floors or floors forming boundaries of
tank spaces, are also to comply with the requirements for
watertight bulkheads or deeptanks as detailed in 7.3 and 7.5.
5.6 Floors in machinery spaces

5.6.1 The thickness, tw, of the floors in machinery spaces
is to be 1 mm greater than that required by 5.5.4.
tw= 4.64 mm
5.6.2 The depth and section modulus of floors anywhere

between engine
g or gearbox
g girders
g is to be not less than that
required to maintain continuity of structural integrity or 50 per
cent of the depth given in 5.5.3. The face flat area and web
thickness for such reduced floor heights are to be increased
appropriately in order to maintain continuity of structural
strength, see also 4.12.

Part 3 Chapter 4 Section 2 Bulkhead Openings
2.3 Watertight doors

2.3.1 Watertight doors are to be efficiently constructed and
fitted, and are to be capable of being operated when the craft
is listed up to 15 either way. They are to be operated under
working conditions and hose tested in place. See Ch 1,7.3.
2.3.2 Where the doors are fitted in watertight bulkheads

they are to be of equivalent strength to the unpierced bulkhead
and capable of being closed watertight. Watertight doors are
to be of a type, approved and pressure tested, see Table 1.7.1
in Chapter 1, from both sides for the maximum head of water
indicated by any required damage stability calculations or up to
the bulkhead deck whichever is the greater
greater.
2.3.3 Indicators are to be provided on the bridge showing

whether the doors are open or closed.
2.3.4 Doors are to be capable of being operated from

both sides of the bulkhead. Power operated sliding doors are
to be capable
p of being
g opened
p and closed locallyy byy both
power and efficient hand operated mechanisms.
2.3.5 Doors not required to be used at sea may be of the hinged or

sliding type. A notice is to be fixed on the closing appliance saying
it should be kept closed at all times while the craft is at sea.
2.3.6 Watertight doors which are intended to be used while at

sea are to be of the sliding type capable of being remotely
closed from the bridge. An audible alarm is to be provided
at the door closure. The power, control and indicators are to
be operable in the event of main power failure. Particular care
is to be paid to minimising the effect of control system failure.
2.3.7 As an alternative to the sliding doors required by

2.3.6, special consideration will be given to the fitting of
hinged watertight doors where it can be shown that they are
as effective as the sliding type. A suitable log-book system is
to be operated to ensure that such doors remain closed
except when in use for access.
2.3.8 Subject to the requirements of 2.3.6 and 2.3.7,

hinged watertight doors of approved pattern may be fitted
i ttween d
in decks
k iin approvedd positions.
iti The
Th hinges
hi off these
th
doors are to be fitted with a pin or bush of a suitable
copper alloy in accordance with Part 2, or of an equivalent
material acceptable to Lloyds Register (hereinafter referred to as LR).
2.3.9 No accesses are to be fitted in collision bulkheads.

In particular designs where it would be impracticable to
arrange access to the fore peak other than through the
collision bulkhead, access may be permitted subject to
special consideration. Where accesses are provided, the
openings are to be as small as practicable and positioned as
far above the design waterline as possible. The closing
appliances are to be watertight
watertight, open into the fore peak
compartment and consideration will be given to operation
from one side only.
Part 3 Chapter 4 Section 4 Side and Stern Doors and Other Shell Openings
As applicable to aft kayak garage.

4.1 General
4.1.1 These requirements cover cargo and service doors
in the craft side (abaft the collision bulkhead) and stern area,
below the freeboard deck and in enclosed superstructures.
4.1.3 Side and stern doors are to be so fitted as to

ensure tightness and structural integrity commensurate with
their location and the surrounding
g structure.
4.1.4 In general, and for passenger craft in particular, the

lower edge of door openings are not to be below a line drawn
parallel to the freeboard deck at side, which is at its lowest
point at least 230 mm above the upper edge of the uppermost Load Line.
4.1.5 When the lower edge is below the uppermost Load

Line the arrangement will be specially considered
Line, considered. Special
consideration is to be given to preventing the spread of
leakage water over the deck. The reference to the uppermost
Load Line is to be taken as the tropical fresh water line.
4.1.6 Doors are generally to be arranged to open

outwards, however inward opening doors will be considered
provided strongbacks are fitted when the doors are situated in
the first two tween decks above the waterline.
4.1.8 Where doors and platforms are fitted in the shell,

the structural and watertight integrity of the hull is to be
maintained. Such doors and platforms are not to lead directly
into the craft and an internal watertight compartment is to be
provided in way of the shell openings. The doors and
platforms
l tf are to
t be
b arranged d to
t open outwards.
t d TheTh sill
ill height
h i ht
of the access hull opening is not to be less than 300 mm
above the waterline and the sill height of the internal access is
to be not less than 300 mm higher than the hull sill. Alternative
arrangements will be considered.
4.1.9 Doors may be of steel, aluminium alloy or FRP

construction and are to be efficiently connected to the
adjoining structure and of equivalent strength and are to have
adequate securing and sealing arrangements. It is
recommended that doors are hinged about their forward
edges and open outwards. Details are to be submitted for
approval. Other materials will be specially considered.
4.1.10 For craft complying with the requirements of this

Section, the securing, supporting and locking devices are defined as follows:
(a) A securing device is used to keep the door closed by
preventing it from rotating about its hinges or other
pivoted attachments to the craft.
(b) A supporting device is used to transmit external and
internal loads from the door to a securing device and
from the securing device to the crafts structure, or a
device other than a securing device, such as a hinge,
stopper or other fixed device, that transmits loads from
the door to the crafts structure.
(c) A locking device locks a securing device in the closed position.

Part 6 Chapter 4 Section 8 Bulwarks, guard rails and other

means for the protection of crew
8.1 General
8.1.1 Bulwarks or guard rails are to be provided at the
boundaries of exposed freeboard and superstructure decks
and first tier deckhouses. Bulwarks or guard
g rails are to be not
less than 1,0 m in height measured above sheathing, and are
to be constructed as required by 8.2 and 8.4 respectively.
Special consideration will be given to cases where this height
would interfere with the normal operation of the craft.
8.1.2 The freeing arrangements in bulwarks are to be in

accordance with Section 9.
8.1.3 Where appropriate, special consideration will be given to the

provision of guard-wires in lieu of bulwarks or guard rails.
8.1.4 Where wire ropes are fitted, adequate devices are

to be provided to ensure their tautness.
8.1.5 Where stanchions are fitted, every third stanchion is

to be supported by a bracket or stay.
8.1.6 A proper step arrangement is to be provided in way

of obstructions such as pipe lines, etc.
8.2 Bulwark construction

8.2.1 Plate bulwarks are to be stiffened by a strong rail
section
ti and d supported
t d by
b stays
t from
f the
th deck.
d k The
Th spacingi off
these bulwark stays is not to be greater than 1,83 m. Where
bulwarks are cut to form a gangway or other opening, stays of
increased strength are to be fitted at the ends of the openings.
Bulwarks are to be adequately strengthened in way of eyeplates
for cargo gear, and in way of mooring pipes the plating is to be
doubled or increased in thickness and adequately stiffened.
8.2.2 In the calculation of the section modulus, only the

material connected to the deck is to be included. The bulb or
flange of the stay may be taken into account where
connected to the deck, and where, at the ends of the craft,
the bulwark plating is connected to the sheerstrake, a width of
plating not exceeding that considered effective (see Pt 6,
Ch 3,1.10, Pt 7, Ch 3,1.11 and Pt 8, Ch 3,1.7 for steel,
aluminium alloy and composite construction respectively) may
also be included. The free edge of the stay is to be stiffened.
8.2.3 Bulwark stays are to be supported by, or to be in

line with, suitable underdeck stiffening, which is to be
connected by double continuous fillet welds in way of the
bulwark stay connection.
8.3 Openings in bulwarks

8.3.1 Bulwarks are not to be cut for gangway or other
openings near the breaks of superstructures, and are also to
be arranged to ensure their freedom from main structural
stresses. See shell plating in appropriate Chapters.
8.4 Guard rails

8.4.1
8 41 The opening below the lowest course of guardrails
is not to exceed 230 mm. The other courses are to be spaced
not more than 380 mm apart. In the case of craft with
rounded gunwales, the guard rail supports are to be placed
on the flat of the deck.
8.4.2 Satisfactory means, in the form of guard rails, lifelines,

handrails, gangways, underdeck passageways or other
equivalent arrangements, are to be provided for the protection
of the crew in getting to and from their quarters, the
machinery space and all other parts used in the necessary
work of the craft.
Part 6 Chapter 4 Section 9 Deck Drainage
9.1 General
9.1.1 Where bulwarks on the weather portions of
freeboard or superstructure decks form wells, ample provision
is to be made for rapidly freeing the decks of large quantities
of water by means of freeing ports, and also for draining them.
9.2 Freeing port area

9.2.1
9 21 The minimum freeing area on each side of the craft
for each well on the freeboard deck or raised quarter deck,
where the sheer in the well is not less than the standard sheer
required by the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966,
is to be derived from the following formulae:
(a) where the length, l, of the bulwark in the well is 20 m or less:
area required = 0,7 + 0,035l m2
(b) where the length, l, exceeds 20 m
area required = 0,07l m2
l need not be taken greater than 0,7LL, where LL is the
length of the craft as defined in Ch 1,6.2.
0.7LL= 15.841 m
(a) area required 0.7 0.035(15.841)
2
1 254 m
1.254
9.2.2 If the average height of the bulwark exceeds

1,2 m or is less than 0,9 m, the freeing area is to be increased
or decreased, respectively, by 0,004 m2 per metre of length of
well for each 0,1 m increase or decrease in height respectively
Bulwarks are 1.0m tall so no change.
9.2.3 The minimum freeing area for each well on a first

tier superstructure is to be half the area calculated from 9.2.1.
2
area required= 0.627 m
9.2.4 Two-thirds of the freeing port area required is to be

provided in the half of the well nearest to the lowest point of
the sheer curve.

Part 6 Chapter 3 Section 10 Pillars and Pillar Bulkheads

Pillar location on Frame 47
10.1 Application
10.1.1 Pillars are to be arranged to transmit loads from
decks and superstructures into the bottom structure. Pillars
are generally to be constructed from solid, tubular, or I beam
section. A pillar may be a fabricated trunk or partial bulkhead.
10.2 Determination of span length

10.2.1 The effective span length of the pillar, lep, is in
general the distance between the head and heel of the pillar.
Where substantial brackets are fitted, lep may be reduced by
2/3 the depth of the bracket at each end.

10.6 Design loads

10.6.1 The design loading, Pp, to be used in the determination
of pillar scantlings is as follows:
Pp = Sgt bgt Pc + Pa kN
where
Pp = design load supported by the pillar, to be taken as
not less than 5 kN
Pc = basic deck girder design pressure, as appropriate,

plus any other loadings directly above the pillar, in kN/m2
