s4 4 s5 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Designing and Building Commercial Ships and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 2005 rule includes a non-statutory code, regulation or standard issued by a classification society or other entity that specifies rules for specialised ships, for example, a hovercraft. ship means a commercial ship or fishing ship, or part of a commercial ship or fishing ship. ship builder means a person who builds a ship or part of a ship. ship designer means a person who designs a ship or part of a ship. USL code see schedule 15 of the regulation. 4 Purposes of standard The purposes of this standard are to— (a) set standards for designing and building ships; and (b) help people to understand the general safety obligations imposed on them under part 4, division 1 2 of the Act. 5 How to understand this standard (1) This standard provides 2 approaches for designing and building ships. (2) The approaches are— (a) a performance based approach allowing for innovation in the way ships are designed and built; and (b) a prescriptive based approach following the requirements of the USL code, or a rule, about the way ships are designed and built. 2 Part 4 (General safety obligations and standards), division 1 (General safety obligations) of the Act

s6 5 s7 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Designing and Building Commercial Ships and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 2005 Part 2 Performance based approach Division 1 Designing ships 6 Stress (1) A ship designer should design a ship so that the calculated stress in any machinery component or member of the ship should not be greater than the maximum permissible stress derived from the minimum guaranteed mechanical properties of the material used in the component or member. (2) The design should include an adequate safety factor for the ship. 7 Verifying design (1) A ship designer should verify the sufficiency of the design of a ship including the specifications, details and calculations for the design. (2) The material specifications and design details should— (a) contain enough information and detail to allow a comparison with other design standards; and (b) state the design is adequate for the intended service. (3) The design calculations should take into account all foreseeable static and dynamic forces the ship may meet that may be induced by the sea, weather, motion and any stowed or wheeled cargo in the intended service. (4) If design calculations are not provided, appropriate sections of the ship should be tested and analysed to determine the adequacy of the structural design and suitability for the intended service. (5) If design calculations or test section results are not provided, full scale actual trials should be completed in all anticipated weather conditions to determine actual loadings to indicate

s 8 6 s 11 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Designing and Building Commercial Ships and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 2005 the adequacy of the structural design and suitability for the intended service. (6) The structural sufficiency of a ship may also be demonstrated by documented comparison with a similar ship of similar size, power and displacement that has proven structural adequacy in commercial or fishing operations for 5 years. 8 Components A ship designer should design all components contributing to the ship’s structural strength to resist deformation from possible water pressure generated by the static and dynamic forces of the sea in all anticipated weather conditions. 9 Structure A ship designer should design the ship’s structure to— (a) resist deformation by impulse forces generated by engines and propellers; and (b) withstand structural failure under anticipated operational impact forces. 10 Designing vision and access components A ship designer should design all vision and access components fitted to the ship to be of adequate strength to stop water entering the ship through the components in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area. 11 Designing for passenger comfort and protection A ship designer should design a ship’s structure and accommodation to give reasonable comfort and protection from injury to everyone on the ship in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area.

s 12 7 s 14 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Designing and Building Commercial Ships and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 2005 12 Designing for protection from fire (1) A ship designer should design a ship to give protection from fire hazards. (2) The ship designer should have regard to the following— (a) the availability of the ship’s main functions and safety systems including propulsion and control, fire detection, alarms and extinguishing capability through unaffected spaces in case of fire in any 1 compartment on board; (b) the division of passenger accommodation areas in a way that the occupants of a compartment can escape to an alternative safe area or compartment in case of fire; (c) the subdivision of the ship by fire-resistant boundaries; (d) the restricted use of combustible materials and materials generating smoke and toxic gases in a fire; (e) the continuous detection of fire and its containment and extinguishment in the space of origin; (f) the protection of the means of escape and access for fire fighting, and the immediate availability of fire extinguishing appliances. 13 Designing propulsion machinery A ship designer should design a ship’s propulsion machinery, components and associated systems to be— (a) adequate for the intended purpose; and (b) of robust design to operate reliably in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area. 14 Designing steering system A ship designer should design a ship’s steering system to— (a) steer the ship in all sea and anticipated weather conditions; and

s 15 8 s 18 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Designing and Building Commercial Ships and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 2005 (b) include another way of steering the ship if the main steering system fails. 15 Designing machinery and associated systems to minimise fire risk A ship designer should design a ship’s machinery and associated systems to minimise the risk of fire from a malfunction in the machinery or system in any anticipated operating condition. 16 Designing bilge pumping system (1) A ship designer should design a ship to include a bilge pumping system capable of removing an accumulation of water in the ship affecting its safe operation. (2) The system should enable stability to be achieved or maintained under reasonable conditions of list and trim. 17 Buoyancy and stability (1) A ship designer should design a ship so the ship’s form and structure gives an adequate reserve of intact buoyancy and stability in all anticipated loading conditions to prevent the ship from capsizing in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area. (2) If the ship is a class 1 commercial ship, the form and structure of the ship should give an adequate reserve of intact buoyancy and stability in all anticipated loading conditions necessary to maintain the safety of passengers and crew in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area. 18 Subdivision A ship designer should design a class 1 commercial ship so the ship’s form and structure gives an adequate reserve of damaged stability in all anticipated conditions if any 1 compartment of the ship is open to the sea.

s 19 9 s 23 Transport Operations (Marine Safety—Designing and Building Commercial Ships and Fishing Ships) Interim Standard 2005 Division 2 Building ships 19 Ship building facilities A ship builder should build ships with equipment, and in premises, appropriate for the ship being built to best industry practice. 20 Ship to be built as specified in design and specifications (1) A ship builder should build a ship in accordance with the design and specifications for the ship. (2) If there are no specifications for a ship, the ship builder should build the ship using good quality materials and best industry practice. 21 Building vision and access components A ship builder should build all vision and access components fitted to the ship to be of adequate strength to stop water entering the ship through the components in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area. 22 Building for passenger comfort and protection A ship builder should build a ship’s structure and accommodation to give reasonable comfort and protection from injury to everyone on the ship in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area. 23 Other entry of water A ship builder should build a ship to stop water entering the hull in all anticipated weather conditions in the intended operational area.
