3 Machinery arrangements
3.1 Main propulsion machinery
3.1.1 For PSMR, PSMR★, PMR and PMR★ notations,
independent main propulsion systems are to be provided so that at
least 50 per cent of the installed prime mover capacity and not less
than 50 per cent of the installed propulsion systems will continue
to be available in the event of a single failure of a system or item
of active equipment, see
Vol 3, Pt 1, Ch 3, 1.1 General 1.1.4. In the event of a single failure in equipment, the remaining
system(s) is to be capable of maintaining a manoeuvring speed and,
for PSMR and PSMR★ notations, give
adequate manoeuvring capability, see
Vol 3, Pt 1, Ch 3, 1.2 Documentation required for design review 1.2.4.
3.1.2 For PMRL, PSMRL, PMRL★ and PSMRL★ notations, independent main propulsion systems are to be provided
so that the ship will retain the ability to use the available installed
prime mover capacity and installed propulsion systems following a
single failure of a system or item of equipment. In the event of a
single failure in equipment, the remaining system(s) is to be capable
of maintaining a manoeuvring speed of not less than 7 knots and, for PSMRL and PSMRL★ notations, give adequate
manoeuvring capability, see
Vol 3, Pt 1, Ch 3, 1.2 Documentation required for design review 1.2.4.
3.2 Steering machinery
3.2.1 For PSMR, PSMR★, SMR and SMR★ notations,
independent steering systems for manoeuvring the ship are to be installed,
such that steering capability will continue to be available in the
event of any of the following:
-
Single failure
in the steering gear equipment.
-
Loss of power
supply or control system to any steering system.
3.3 Electrical power supply
3.3.1 The main busbars of the switchboard supplying the propulsion machinery and
other Mobility and/or Ship Type systems are to be capable of being isolated by a
multi-pole linked circuit breaker, disconnector, or switch-disconnector into at least
two independent sections.
3.3.2 In the event of the loss of one section or failure of the power supply from
one generator, there is to be continuity of sufficient electrical power to supply
Mobility and/or Ship Type systems such that the available installed prime mover capacity
and installed propulsion systems will continue to have the ability of functioning at
their operational capability where PSMRL, PSMRL★, PMRL and
PMRL★ notations are required. See
Vol 3, Pt 1, Ch 3, 3.2 Steering machinery 3.2.1 for steering machinery requirements.
3.3.3 In the event of the loss of one section or failure of the power supply from
one generator, there is to be continuity of sufficient electrical power to supply
Mobility and/or Ship Type systems such that at least 50 per cent of the installed prime
mover capacity and not less than 50 per cent of the installed propulsion systems will
continue to be available where PSMR, PSMR★, PMR and PMR★
notations are required. See
Vol 3, Pt 1, Ch 3, 3.2 Steering machinery 3.2.1 for steering machinery requirements.
3.3.4 For ships capable of operating with one service generator connected to the
switchboard, arrangements are to be such that a standby generator will automatically
start and connect to the switchboard on loss of the service generator. Sequential
starting of Mobility and/or Ship Type systems is to be provided.
3.3.5 For ships operating with two or more generator sets in service connected to
the switchboard, arrangements are to be such that, in the event of loss of one
generator, the remaining set(s) is to be adequate for the continuity of Mobility and/or
Ship Type systems supplied from that switchboard. This may be achieved by preferential
tripping of services not required for the Mobility and/or Ship Type. Alternatively,
arrangements can be such that a standby generator will start automatically and connect
to the switchboard on loss of one of the generator sets in service.
3.4 Essential services for machinery
3.4.1 Services
essential for the operation of the propulsion machinery, steering
and the supply of electrical power are to be arranged so that 50 per
cent of the installed prime mover capacity and not less than 50 per
cent of the installed propulsion systems and steering capability are
maintained in the event of a single failure in any of the services,
where required by the respective class notations.
3.5 Fuel oil storage and transfer systems
3.5.1 The
arrangements for the storage of fuel oil bunkers are to ensure that
there is an adequate supply of existing fuel oil on board to allow
sufficient time for a shore-based quality analysis of new bunkers,
in accordance with ISO 8217 Petroleum Products – Fuels
(Class F) Specification of Marine Fuels prior to use.
3.5.2 Provision
is to be made to enable samples of fuel oil to be taken at the bunkering
manifolds.
