    IACS Rec - No.76 - Temporary Repairs

    Uploaded by

    daniel
    Bulk carriers are prone to structural damage from excessive corrosion and contact damage. Major causes of damage include excessive corrosion along side shell frames, deck structures, watertight bulkheads, and hatch covers. Temporary repairs may be accepted at the discretion of surveyors, such as applying doublers or cement boxes over damaged areas. However, cropped renewal is preferred over doubler plates for compensation of wasted structure. IACS has established an early warning scheme to share information on significant hull damages among classification societies to prevent repetition on other ships.

    Finally, it should be noted that inadvertent overloading may cause
    significant damages. In general, however, major causes of damages are
    associated with excessive corrosion and contact damage.
    3.4 Structural detail failures and repairs
    3.4.1 For examples of structural defects which have occurred in service,
    attention is drawn to Section 5 of these guidelines. It is suggested that
    surveyors and inspectors should be familiar with the contents of
    Section 5 before undertaking a survey.
    3.4.2 Any damage to or excessive wastage of the following structures that are
    considered affecting the ship s Classification is to be promptly and
    ’

    thoroughly repaired:
    (a) Side shell frames, their end attachments and adjacent shell plating
    (b) Deck structure and deck plating between hatches
    (c) Watertight bulkheads
    (d) Hatch covers and coamings
    3.4.3 In general, where part of the structure has deteriorated to the
    permissible minimum thickness, then the affected area is to be cropped
    and renewed. Doubler plates must not be used for the compensation of
    wasted plate. Repair work in tanks requires careful planning in terms of
    accessibility.
    3.4.4 If replacement of defective parts must be postponed, the following
    temporary measures may be acceptable at the surveyor s discretion: ’

    (a) The affected area may be sandblasted and painted in order to reduce
    corrosion rate.
    (b) Doubler may be applied over the affected area. Special consideration
    should be given to areas buckled under compression.
    (c) Stronger members may support weakened stiffeners by applying
    temporarily connecting elements.
    (d) Cement box may be applied over the affected area.
    A suitable condition of class should be imposed when temporary
    measures are accepted.
    3.5 IACS Early Warning Scheme (EWS) for reporting of
    significant hull damage
    3.5.1 IACS has organised and set up a system to permit the collection, and
    dissemination amongst Member Societies of information (while
    excluding a ship's identity) on significant hull damages.
    3.5.2 The principal purpose of the IACS Early Warning Scheme is to enable a
    Classification Society with experience of a specific damage to make this
    information available to the other societies so that action can be
    implemented to avoid repetition of damage to hulls where similar
    structural arrangements are employed.
