5 Years
Q3. On what circumstances the ILLC cancelled by the administration?
a. Infringement of Freeboard Condition:
– Ships Proceed to sea with less freeboard than that approved or
– Load line marks have been altered in any way.
b. Material alterations have taken place in the hull or superstructure which infringed the assigned freeboard.
c. No or poor maintenance of fittings and appliances for protection of openings and means of safe for crews.
d. No periodic ILLC endorsement
e. Structural strength of the ship is reduced causing the ship to be unsafe
Q4. Define the purpose of the regulations:
a. Freeboard
b. Freeboard deck
c. Superstructure
Recognize that limitations on the draught to which a ship may be loaded make a significant contribution to her safety.
Ensure sufficient reserve buoyancy and adequate stability and avoid excessive stress on the ship's hull as a result of overloading.
External weathertight integrity
Watertight integrity.
Q5. What is the requirement of painting Plimsoll mark on the ship side hull?
Under regulation 8: Details of marking
The ring, lines and letters shall be painted in white or yellow on a dark ground or in black on a light ground. They shall also be permanently marked on the sides of the ships to the satisfaction of the Surveyor General. The marks shall be plainly visible and, if necessary, special arrangements shall be made for this purpose
Q6. Describe the requirements concerning the provision of closing appliances for ventilations?
Under regulation 19:Ventilator
a. Ventilators in position 1 the coamings of which extend to more than 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) above the deck, and in position 2 the coamings of which extend to more than 2.3 metres (7.5 feet) above the deck need not be fitted with closing arrangements unless specifically required by the Surveyor General.
b. Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this Regulation ventilator openings shall be provided with efficient weathertight closing appliances. In ships of not more than 100 metres (328 feet) in length the closing appliances shall be permanently attached; where not so provided in other ships, they shall be conveniently stowed near the ventilators to which they are to be fitted. Ventilators in position 1 shall have coamings of a height of at least 900 millimetres (35½ inches) above the deck; in position 2 the coamings shall be of a height at least 760 millimetres (30 inches) above the deck.
Position 1 - Upon exposed freeboard and raised quarter decks, and upon exposed superstructure decks situated forward of a point located a quarter of the ship’s length from the forward perpendicular.
Position 2 - Upon exposed superstructure decks situated abaft a quarter of the ship’s length from the forward perpendicular
Q7. Describe the provision for the protection of the crew?
Regulation 25: Protection of the crew
a. The strength of the deckhouses used for the accommodation of the crew shall be to the satisfaction of the Surveyor General.
b. Efficient guard rails or bulwarks shall be fitted on all exposed parts of the freeboard and superstructure decks. The height of the bulwarks or guard rails shall be at least 1 metre (39½ inches) from the deck, provided that where this height would interfere with the normal operation of the ship, a lesser height may be approved if the Surveyor General is satisfied that adequate protection is provided.
c. The opening below the lowest course of the guard rails shall not exceed 230 millimetres (9 inches). The other courses shall be not more than 380 millimetres (15 inches) apart. In the case of ships with rounded gunwales the guard rail supports shall be placed on the flat of the deck.
d. Satisfactory means (in the form of guard rails, life lines, gangways or underdeck passages etc.) shall 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 ship.
e. Deck cargo carried on any ship shall be so stowed that any opening which is in way of the cargo and which gives access to and from the crew’s quarters, the machinery space and all other parts used in the necessary work of the ship, can be properly closed and secured against the admission of water. Effective protection for the crew in the form of guard rails or life lines shall be provided above the deck cargo if there is no convenient passage on or below the deck of the ship
Q8. Closing the opening of air pipes to ballast tanks and other tanks should be provided permanently attached. Why?
Act as water tight integrity purposes. It will ensure the containment of any egress.
