In Water Survey

Hull survey while ship is afloat done by authorized diving company with surveillance of Class surveyor as the replacement of docking survey

Requirements for IWS
  • Age not greater than 15 years. ( Ships of age 15 years and over may be permitted as special consideration)
  • All ships excluding Enhanced Survey Program (ESP) ships, such as Bulk carrier, Oil Tankers and Dangerous chemical bulk carrie rs of 15 years of age and over.
  • Ship with class “IWS” notation.
  • Need agreement of Flag administration.
  • High quality paint coating for 7.5 years extended dry docking (EDD).
  • Fitted effective anodes, fitted effective current corrosion protection (ECCP).
  • Access arrangements for - sea valves, rudder bearing & pintle clearance.
  • Stern tube wear down measurement, bow & stern thruster  -seal checking  
Documents
  • Survey plan,
  • Location and date of IWS,
  • Detail of hull marks and drawings.
Preparations in dry dock for IWS notation
  • Fitted approved Cathodic protection system.
  • Ship hull is in a satisfactory condition – shot blasted and painted with high quality paint
  • Fitted means for renewal and/or measuring of clearances of
  • Rudder bearings and bushes, stern tube wear down
  • Measures for checking of sea valves and sea chests.
  • Shell openings to be fitted gratings with hinged grid plates.
  • Hull paint color - to assist divers for inspection of hull in next IWS.
  • Mark clearly under-water hull fittings.
  • Mark transverse & longitudinal bulkheads
  • Mark tanks boundaries
  • Mark openings of shell plating for sea valves, docking plugs, thruster unit, stabilizer fins
  • Mark propeller blades with numbers
  • Mark for checking of any relative movements in next IWS
  • Liners on shaft    -bushes of rudder and stern frame
  • Drawings and folders containing above markings
  • Agreed blanking methods of any shell openings

    In the age of high-tech security systems, it’s hard to recognize any other way to protect your home. As soon as the intruder crosses the threshold, they face blaring alarms or warnings that authorities have been notified. These are all excellent defense mechanisms, but can how to get rid of pricker bushes prevent intruders from breaking in in the first place?

Manganese bronze is not typically used as a propeller material .Why

1. High cost: Manganese bronze is a costly alloy, making it less economical for large propellers. 2. Low strength-to-weight ratio: Compared to other propeller materials like nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel, manganese bronze has a lower strength-to-weight ratio. 3. Susceptible to corrosion: Manganese bronze can corrode in seawater, especially when exposed to high velocities and turbulence. 4. Poor cavitation resistance: Manganese bronze is more prone to cavitation damage than other materials. 5. Difficult to cast and machine: Manganese bronze is challenging to cast and machine, making it less desirable for complex propeller geometries. 6. Limited weldability: Manganese bronze has poor weldability, making repairs and modifications difficult. Nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel are commonly used for propellers due to their: - High strength and durability - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good cavitation resistance - Ease of casting and machining - Weldability

MAN B&W MC Engine VIT Pump

The pump is basically a jerk type with a plunger moving in a matched barrel, using two helical grooves machined in the plunger to control the end of injection by uncovering spill ports and causing the discharge pressure to drop rapidly, thus causing the needle valve in the injector to close. Oil is supplied to the barrel via the spill ports and a suction valve. The suction valve, situated at the top of the barrel opens when the pressure in the  barrel falls below the supply pump pressure; i.e. during downward stroke of plunger, while spill ports are covered by plunger. Replaceable erosion plugs  are fitted in the pump housing opposite the spill ports. The high pressure oil, spilling back, as the edge of the helix uncovers the s...

Shell Expansion Plan

It is a two dimensional drawing of a three dimensional surface of the ship’s hull form. This plan is very useful for the following information:It is used for marking the location of a hull Damage on this plan by identifying the strake number , letter and frame number so that the exact location of the damage and also suggested repairs are marked in a localised copy. The shell expansion can be used for finding areas of painting surfaces such as topside, boot topping and bottom areas by applying Simpsons rules directly.  In the shell expansion the vertical scale used is different from the horizontal scale and a suitable adjustment has to be made when calculating areas. This becomes useful in solving disputes concerning areas of preparation and painting. It gives information on the thickness of the original strake which is indicated by the number in the circle shown in the strake.  The quality of steel used is also shown by letters A,B,D E and AH, BH,DH, EH.
