TECHNICAL DATA: BILGE STRUM BOX OR EQUIVALENT • The bilge suction line is normally fitted with a perforated strum box around the suction which prevents cargo debris from entering the bilge line • This is not to be confused with a strainer plate on top of the bilge well (see photos) • Some bilges are provided with a two-compartment system: one bilge well with a perforated cover (strainer) and one with a full cover. Between the two compartments there is an opening to allow water to overflow, which can also be fitted with a perforated plate to prevent debris from entering the bilge line ISSUE WHEN NO PROTECTION IS FITTED • When no protection is provided for the bilge suction, any debris can enter the suction line and cause clogging (impair suction) or get stuck in the non-return system on the bilge line (cause backflow) IMCS BVBA – SHIP INSPECTION DEPARTMENT – [email protected] - WWW.IMCS-GROUP.COM PAGE 1/2 AMVP INSPECTION MANUAL BILGE STRUM BOX OR EQUIVALENT MISSING WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK IS EXPECTED?
