case, and except for one duct of each type, these tests
need not be carried out at the works. Where, however,
they have been already performed at the works, one is
to be repeated on board.
c) The Surveyor may require that the air-tightness is
checked at the junction between the couplings and the
containers installed on board for the test. This may be
done with soapy water or by a similar procedure.
d) Where fitted in the ducts at the works, electric motors of
duct fans are subjected to insulation measurements; this
is to be done at random and as agreed with the Surveyor.

Running tests
a) The running of the major components of the fluid systems (refrigerant, cold and hot brine, sea water, air for
couplings) and of the regulation, monitoring and alarm
systems is to be checked.
b) The correct running of the plant in automatic operation
is to be checked for the specified conditions. Tests are to
be performed for the various operating conditions and
for at least three ducts of different types which are to be
fully fitted up with containers. The satisfactory operation
of the whole plant is also to be verified by means of a
suitable test.
c) When there is a plant for air conditioning of the holds, it
is to be tested in accordance with Ch 7, Sec 2.

ordinary stiffeners are to be effectively attached to all the
supporting structures. A longitudinal ordinary stiffener is to
be attached to all the supporting web frames and bulkheads
by brackets. When a transverse ordinary stiffener terminates
at a stringer or a deck, a bracket or a similar construction is
to be fitted. Brackets are to have at least the same thickness
as the web plate of the ordinary stiffener and the edge is to
be appropriately stiffened against buckling.
When an ordinary stiffener is running through the supporting structure, both sides of the web plate of the ordinary
stiffener are to be connected to the structure (by direct
welding or collar plate, see example in Fig 2).
68
Bureau Veritas
ordinary stiffeners are to be attached to the shell by double continuous welds; no scalloping is allowed (except
when crossing shell plate butts)
the web thickness of ordinary stiffeners is to be at least
half that of the shell plating and in any case not less
than 9 mm; where there is a deck, tank top or bulkhead
in lieu of an ordinary stiffener, the plate thickness is to
be complied with to a depth corresponding to the height
of adjacent ordinary stiffeners.

are to be examined by the Society on a case-by-case basis.
5.3.4 A wide transom stern extending below the UIWL seriously impedes the capability of the ship to run astern in ice,
which is of paramount importance.
Consequently, a transom stern is not normally to be
extended below the UIWL. Where this cannot be avoided,
the part of the transom below the UIWL is to be kept as narrow as possible.

Hull outfitting
Rudders and steering arrangements
6.1.1 The scantlings of the rudder post, rudder stock, pintles, steering gear, etc. as well as the capacity of the steering
gear are to be determined according to Pt B, Ch 10, Sec 1.
The speed to be used in these calculations is the greater of
the maximum ahead service speed and the reference speed
indicated in Tab 9. When using the reference speed indicated in Tab 9, the coefficient r2, defined in Pt B, Ch 10, Sec
1, [2.1.2] is to be taken not greater than 1,1 irrespective of
the rudder type profile.
Within the ice strengthened zone, the thickness of rudderplating and diaphragms is to be not less than that required
for the shell plating of the aft region.
The part of a transom stern situated within the ice strengthened area is to be strengthened as required for the midship
region.
5.3.5 Where azimuth propulsion systems are fitted, the
increase in ice loading of the aft region and the stern area is
to be considered in the design of the aft/stern structure, on a
case-by-case basis by the Society.

2.2.5 Sampling methods and frequency
The Society is to be ensured that the equipment is installed
in a manner which facilitates the collection of samples.
Sampling is to be carried out in a manner and at a frequency which is representative of effluent quality. Sampling
frequency is to take account of the residence time of the
effluent in the equipment. A minimum of 40 effluent samples are to be collected to permit a statistical analysis of the
data (geometric mean, maximum, minimum, variance,
etc.,). An adequate number of effluent samples are to be
collected to ensure compliance with [2.2.2]. Any disinfectant residual in samples is to be neutralized when the sample is collected to prevent unrealistic bacteria kill or
chemical oxidation of organic matter by the disinfectant
brought about by artificially extended contact times.
2.2.6 Analytical testing of effluent
The Society is to give consideration to recording of other
parameters in addition to those required (faecal coliform,
suspended solids and BOD 5) with a view to future technological development. Parameters which might be considered include total solids, volatile solids, settleable solids,
volatile suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, total phosphorous, pH, total organic carbon and total
coliforms, faecal streptococci.
2.2.7 Disinfectant residuals
The potential adverse environmental effects of many disinfectant residuals and by-products, such as those associated
with the use of chlorine or its compounds, are well recognized. It is, therefore, recommended the use of ozone, ultraviolet irradiation or any other disinfectant, which minimizes
the adverse environmental effects, whilst pursuing the faecal coliform standard. When chlorine is used as a disinfectant, the Society is to be satisfied that the best technical
means are used to keep the disinfectant residual in the effluent as low as practicable.

Scope
1.2.2 Incinerator
Incinerator means shipboard facilities for incinerating solid
wastes approximating in composition to household waste
and liquid wastes arising from the operation of the ship,
e.g., domestic waste, cargo-associated waste, maintenance
waste, operational waste, cargo residues, fishing gear, etc.
These facilities may be designed to use or not to use the
heat energy produced.

Garbage means all kinds of victual, domestic and operational waste excluding fresh fish and parts thereof, generated during normal operation of the ship as defined in
Annex V to MARPOL 73/78.
1.2.4 Waste
Waste means useless, unneeded or superfluous matter
which is to be discarded.
1.2.5 Food wastes
Food wastes are any spoiled or unspoiled victual substances, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, poultry,
meat products, food scraps, food particles, and all other
materials contaminated by such wastes, generated aboard
ship, principally in the galley and dining areas.
1.2.6 Plastic
Plastic means a solid material which contains as an essential ingredient one or more synthetic organic high polymers
and which is formed (shaped) during either manufacture of
the polymer or the fabrication into a finished product by
heat and/or pressure. Plastics have material properties ranging from hard and brittle to soft and elastic. Plastics are used
for a variety of marine purposes including, but not limited
to, packaging (vapour-proof barriers, bottles, containers, liners), ship construction (fibreglass and laminated structures,
siding, piping, insulation, flooring, carpets, fabrics, paints
and finishes, adhesives, electrical and electronic components), disposable eating utensils and cups, bags, sheeting,
floats, fishing nets, strapping bands, rope and line.
1.2.7 Domestic waste
Domestic waste means all types of food wastes, sewage and
wastes generated in the living spaces on board the ship for
the purpose of this specification.

a) Even with good incineration technology, the emission
from an incinerator will depend on the type of material
being incinerated. If, for instance, a ship has bunkered a
fuel with high sulphur content, then sludge oil from separators which is burned in the incinerator will lead to
emission of SOx. But again, the SOx emission from the
incinerator would only amount to less than one per cent
of the SOx discharged with the exhaust from main and
auxiliary engines.

b) Principal organic constituents (POC) cannot be measured on a continuous basis. Specifically, there are no
instruments with provision for continuous time telemetry that measures POC, HC1, or waste destruction efficiency, to date. These measurements can only be made
using grab sample approaches where the sample is
returned to a laboratory for analysis. In the case of
organic constituents (undestroyed wastes), the laboratory work requires considerable time to complete. Thus,
continuous emission control can only be assured by
secondary measurements.

Alternatively, lashings fitted diagonally or vertically on container corners may be used to prevent vertical movements
in addition to centring and stacking cones fitted between
the tiers and in way of the base of the stack to prevent horizontal movements.
The upper tier containers are to be secured to the under tier
containers by means of locking devices fitted at their corners and located between the two tiers.
2.4.4 Locking devices are to be used every time the calculations indicate that separation forces may occur.
Where the calculations indicate that separation forces will
not occur, double stacking cones may be fitted instead of
locking devices at all internal corners of the stack and
bridge fittings are to be used to connect the tops of the rows
in the transverse direction.
2.4.5 The external containers are not to extend beyond the
ship side, but they may overhang beyond hatch covers or
other ship structures, on condition that adequate support is
provided for the overhanging part.
2.4.6 Securing of containers stowed at ship side is to be
arranged taking account of the possibility of water ingress
and consequent buoyancy depending on container volume.
In small ships such buoyancy is to be taken equal to that
corresponding to the total volume of the container concerned.

Type tests
3.2.1 Type tests are to be carried out as indicated in the following procedure, or by a procedure considered equivalent
by the Society:
load conditions of the test (i.e. tensile, shear, compression or tangential load) are to be as close as possible to
the actual conditions of loading in operation.
2.5.1 Instead of resting on their four lower corners, containers may be arranged on deck or on hatch covers with
their bases in uniform contact with the supporting structure.
This can be done, for example, by fitting wood planks or
continuous metal beams under the lower longitudinal sides
(chocks are not allowed), or by inserting the lower corners
into special recesses provided on deck or on hatch covers.
A clearance not less than 5 mm is to be left between corners
and deck structure, or hatch cover structure underneath
(according to ISO Standards, the maximum protrusion of
the corner fitting beyond the lower side longitudinal is 17,5
mm).
3.2.2 When a lashing element consists of several components, the test is to be carried out on the complete element.
3.2.3 The breaking load corresponds to the load reached at
the moment where the first cracks appear on the test piece.
3.2.4 The breaking load obtained from tests is to be at least
equal to the breaking load foreseen by the Manufacturer
and indicated on the detailed drawing.

to be carried out considering the block of containers.
5.1.4 If the M stacks of containers are not connected
