DAMAGE STABILITY AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS

COURSE CATEGORY: Technical

DURATION: 1 Day

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
Purpose: The seminar aims to help Captains (of all ranks) and executives of each company to develop an understanding as well as to become familiarized with the regulations relating to watertight subdivision and stability after damage.

The main objective of the seminar is to remind basic concepts of stability and to explain in simple and understandable terms the regulations, the internationally used SymWriter and the concept of the regulations governing the issue: subdivision regulations & damage stability.

The final goal is for Captains and vessels’ officers in charge to be able to manage effectively any information provided to them from the damage stability Booklets and damage stability software.

In order to achieve this, the seminar is based on the Damage Stability Booklet and the respective Loading-Stability Software of certain vessels of the interested company. Also, the structure and SymWriter used to them is explained.

Furthermore, the seminar the basic principles governing the study of ships’ stability are analysed, definitions and constrains regarding its calculation are illustrated and any queries arising on the issues of the seminar are resolved.

It is a fully specialized seminar that sheds light on the complex issue that ultimately concerns the deeper understanding of the ship and the management of information provided in the Stability Booklets (Intact & Damage) as well as the various plans existed on ships.

SEMINAR TOPICS

-Introduction – Presentation of the seminar modules
-Intact stability: Principles, limitations to its study and current legislation
-Iterative reference to Intact Stability calculation procedure
-Analysis of the existing legislation on Intact Stability and its explanation through presentation of Loading Software and Printout of an actual loading situation
-Explanation of Dynamic Stability Phenomena In Waves such as Parametric Rolling, Resonant Roll, Reduction of Stability on Wave Crest, etc, followed by a relative most enlightening video
-Discussion and queries’ resolution on the issues analyzed
-Brief chronology of Ship Subdivision and Damage Stability regulations
-General reference to the contemporary regulations of Ship Subdivision and Damage Stability for the different types of vessels
-Extensive analysis of the current Ship Subdivision and Damage Stability regulations of each company (Tankers of all types, Bulk Carriers, Container ships, Passenger Ships, RoRo etc.)
-Full explanation of the terms mentioned in booklets (intact and damage) such as damage stability criteria, damage cases, etc.
-Analysis of Damage impacts and reduction of vessel’s stability
-Full explanation of Damage stability Booklet & Damage Control Plans. Understanding of the restrictions that exist when using information provided by them
-Projection of vessels’ Damage Stability Software and analysis of the information they provide
-General guidelines for familiarization with the Damage stability Booklet and Damage Control Plans
-General guidelines to tackle a Damage situation
-Questions – resolving queries – discussion

HULL AND STRUCTURAL SURVEYS

COURSE CATEGORY: Technical

DURATION: 1 Day or 3 Days

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
Hull And Structural Surveys course covers the requirements for hull structures at initial, annual, intermediate, periodical and renewal and additional surveys, as specified in SOLAS, as amended up to its 1988 Protocol, and in the 1966 Load Lines Convention, including its 1988 Protocol.
It does not cover preliminary design or plan approvals and metallurgical tests of materials. Nor does it cover the survey or examination of chemical tankers and gas carriers other than citing inspection details for annual surveys. Special purpose ships or mobile offshore units are not covered. Those wishing to enter this course should hold an appropriate qualification in naval architecture or a certificate as chief engineer or hold an equivalent qualification and have experience in the structural survey, construction or repair of ships.
