Edition December 2015 Page 5 Stability DNV GL AS 2.2.6 Residual safety clearance 1 Residual safety clearance is the vertical clearance available, in the event of the vessel heeling over, between the water level and the lowest point of the immersed side, beyond which the vessel is no longer regarded as n o watertight. i t 2.2.7 Weathertight c Weathertight is the term used to describe a closure or structure which prevents water from penetrating into e S the vessel under any service conditions. Weathertight designates structural elements or devices which are so designed that the penetration of water into the inside of the vessel is prevented: 5 — for one minute when they are subjected to a pressure corresponding to a 1 m head of water, or r e — for ten minutes when they are exposed to the action of a jet of water with a minimum pressure of 1 bar in t all directions over their entire area p a Following constructions are regarded as weathertight: h C — weathertight doors complying with ISO 6042 — ventilation flaps complying with ISO 5778 6 — airpipe heads of automatic type and of approved design t r Weathertightness shall be proven by hose tests or equivalent tests accepted by the Society before installing. a P 2.2.8 Watertight Watertight designates structural elements or devices which meet all the conditions stated for weathertightness and also remain tight at the anticipated internal and external pressure. Watertightness shall be proven by workshop testing and where applicable by type approvals in combination with construction drawings (e.g. watertight sliding doors, cable penetrations through watertight bulkheads). 2.2.9 Light ship The light ship is a vessel complete in all respects, but without consumables, stores, cargo, and crew and effects, owners’ supply and without liquids on board except for machinery and piping fluids, such as lubricants and hydraulics, which are at operating levels. 2.2.10 Inclining test The inclining test is a procedure which involves moving a series of known weights, normally in the transverse direction, and then measuring the resulting change in the equilibrium heel angle of the vessel. By using this information and applying basic naval architecture principles, the vessel’s vertical centre of gravity (VCG or KG) is determined. 2.3 Documents to be submitted for approval and for on board use 2.3.1 Documents to be provided on board The following information shall be provided on board the vessel and shall be prepared in a clear and understandable format as a working document for the master. — general description of the vessel — general arrangement and capacity plans indicating the assigned use of compartments and spaces (cargo, passenger, stores, accommodation, etc.) — a sketch indicating the position of the draught marks referred to the vessel’s perpendiculars — hydrostatic curves or tables corresponding to the design trim, and, if significant trim angles are foreseen during the normal operation of the vessel, curves or tables corresponding to such range of trim shall be introduced — cross curves or tables of stability calculated on a free trimming basis, for the ranges of displacement and trim anticipated in normal operating conditions, with indication of the volumes which have been considered buoyant — tank sounding tables or curves showing capacities, centres of gravity, and free surface data for each tank Rules for classification: Inland navigation vessels — DNVGL-RU-INV-Pt6Ch5. Edition December 2015 Page 6 Stability DNV GL AS — light ship data from the inclining test, including light ship displacement, centre of gravity co-ordinates, 1 place and date of the inclining test, as well as the Society approval details specified in the inclining test report. It is suggested that a copy of the approved test report be included n o Where the above-mentioned information is derived from a sister ship, the reference to this sister ship i shall be clearly indicated, and a copy of the approved inclining test report relevant to this sister ship shall t c be included e — standard loading conditions and examples for developing other acceptable loading conditions using the S information contained in the trim and stability booklet 5 — intact stability results (total displacement and its centre of gravity co-ordinates, draughts at perpendiculars, GM, GM corrected for free surfaces effect, GZ values and curve, criteria reporting r e a comparison between the actual and the required values)
