👨🔧 As you may know, loss prevention is one of the key pillars of IVR. To contribute to the safety of inland navigation, the (Dutch) government requires a triennial steering gear inspection. Together with steering gear manufacturers a quality system for carrying out these inspections was developed. 📃 This includes a verification list in aid of carrying out the inspections, quality criteria for the steering gear inspectors, various procedures and an annual independent audit of the inspecting steering gear manufacturer by IVR. ⚓ The added value of this system is that the quality of the inspections is assured and that an independent organisation supervises. IVR checks the inspection reports that are sent in, stores them in a database and issues the Steering Gear Certificate. 🛥 With a total of 918 issued steering gear certificates last year, we can safely say that we, together with our dedicated team, manufacturers and inspectors contribute to the overall safety of inland navigation. 💡Stay tuned for more statistics, which will be published in our IVR Annual Report 2023 next week.

Conducting comprehensive hull inspections is paramount in safeguarding vessels against structural issues, optimizing maintenance schedules, and enhancing operational performance. Let's dive into the best practices for conducting thorough hull inspections, with a focus on General Visual Inspection (GVI), Close Visual Inspection (CVI), and other crucial methods, along with key areas to check. Understanding General Visual Inspection (GVI): GVI serves as the initial step in evaluating the surface condition of a ship's hull. Inspectors visually examine visible areas for defects such as rust, corrosion, and biofouling. Implementing Close Visual Inspection (CVI): CVI focuses on scrutinizing hidden or inaccessible areas of the hull using magnification tools. It enables early detection of micro-cracks and other imperfections. Key Areas to Check During Hull Inspections: · Hull Structure · Bow Thrusters · Sea Chests · Propellers and Rudders · Coating and Paint Integrity By integrating GVI and CVI techniques and meticulously inspecting key areas, maritime professionals can effectively mitigate risks and ensure operational excellence.

Thank you very much for sharing Onur ÖZUTKU. I would like to point out 2 important points about this issue. The 1st one is to determine the length of the hose string. 2nd one is to know the crane capacity that can lift the hose string and to determine the tankers that will come to the terminal accordingly. You can find the most practical formulas about this topic in OCIMF Guidelines. I am sharing both formulas for your convenience. Determine the length of the hose string: Governing case - vessel at normal ballast draft: a) Calculate Freeboard b) Identify Height Hose Lifted above Tanker's Deck (ISGOTT) Lhose above deck=7.5 m c) Calculate Total Hose Length Lifted above Seabed Lhose lifted= Freeboard + L hose above deck + Depth water d) Calculate Total Hose Length Lifted above Water Lhose in air= Freeboard + Lhose above deck e) Calculate Total Hose Submerged Length Lifted Lsubmerged= Depth water f) Calculate Buoyancy Forces on Hose (per metre length) Buoyancy hose= Density seawater X pi/4 x Diameter hose outer² g) Calculate Weight of Product inside Hose (per metre length) Product hose= pi/4 x Diameter hose inner² x Density seawater h) Calculate Total Lift Weight of Hose Hose lift = (Wt hose in air + Product hose) x L hose in air + (Wt hose in air - Buoyancy hose + Product hose) x L submerged i) Determine Required Minimum SWL of Tanker's Crane or Derrick SWL crane/derrick= Hose lift x 1.5 The crane capacity that can lift the hose string: (TL)= [L1 + Dmax + Fmax +MH+ Dm+ √(FAmax)² + (SWmax)²] x SF TL= Required total length L1= Distance between PLEM and tanker hull Dmax= Maximum water depth Fmax= Maximum freeboard at manifold MH= Tanker manifold height Dm= Distance tanker rail to manifold FAmax= Maximum fore or aft excursion of tanker obtained from mooring analysis SWmax = Maximum sideways excursion of tanker obtained from mooring analysis SF = Safety Factor of, for example, 1.5 #hose #marine #operation #vessel #shipping #terminal #LPG #LNG #safety #process #inspection #maintenance #loading #unloading #CBM #submarinehose #floatinghose #cargo #liquid #oilandgas
Handling and Lifting of Marine Cargo Hoses Hoses should always be handled with care and should not be dragged over a surface or rolled in a manner that twists the body of the hose. Hoses should not be allowed to come into contact with a hot surface. Protection should be provided at any point where chafing or rubbing can occur. Lifting bridles and saddles should be provided. The use of steel wires in direct contact with the hose cover should not be permitted. Certified lifting straps should be used. They should be positioned so the hose will not fold over on itself (sharp kinks in the hose should be avoided). Lifting equipment used should be appropriately sized to accommodate the weight of the hose when full of product. Straps should be placed strategically to allow the flange to align horizontally. This will improve hose connection efficiency. Excessive weight on the ship’s manifold should be avoided. If there is an excessive overhang, or the ship’s valve is outside the stool support, additional support should be given to the manifold. A horizontal curved plate or pipe section should be fitted at the ship's side to protect the hose from sharp edges and obstructions. Adequate support for the hose, when connected to the manifold, should be provided. Where this support is via a single lifting point, such as a hose crane, the hose string should be supported by bridles or webbing straps.
