Note that the Length Overall (LOA) may be over 24m. The statutory instrument for guidance is; The Merchant Shipping (Tonnage) Regulations 1997 Statutory Instrument No. 1510 See Appendix 1 for a copy of the SI. Definitions used in this manual are taken from the SI. In addition to British Registration, the IIMS CA is also approved by a number of other Red Ensign Flag States as follows; Jersey – Vessels less than 24m length Guernsey – Vessels less than 24m length Isle of Man – Vessels less than 24m LOA BVI – Vessels less than 24m load line length Cayman Islands – Vessels less than 24m load line length Most of these Flag States have different methods of measurement and/or information’s that are to be included on their forms compared with the British requirements. You should therefore make yourself familiar with the requirements of each Flag State prior to undertaking that Flag States survey. All current Tonnage Survey Forms for each Flag State are available to download at; www.iims.org.uk/vessel-coding/certifying-authority-examiner-resources/ Page 3 of 19 IIMS Tonnage Survey Manual - Jan 2017 V3 © IIMS CERTIFYING AUTHORITY 2017 Who can undertake Tonnage Surveys through the IIMS? You must be an IIMS Associate or Full Member. Applications for approval are to be made to the Certifying Authority Applicants need not be a Certifying Authority Surveyor for MCA Coding but may be approved as a CA Tonnage Surveyor only. To apply please contact the IIMS CA Administrator for an application form: [email protected] Page 4 of 19 IIMS Tonnage Survey Manual - Jan 2017 V3 © IIMS CERTIFYING AUTHORITY 2017 Tonnage Survey process Client contacts IIMS CA or Surveyor and requests a Tonnage Survey. Surveyor carries out Tonnage Survey using either; ‘UK Certificate of Tonnage Survey’ forms or other Flag State forms as found under the CA Membership section of IIMS website. http://www.iims.org.uk/vessel-coding/certifying-authority-examiner-resources/ Surveyor is to complete the forms as stated in this manual. Surveyor sends original documents (Application and tonnage Survey) to IIMS HQ along with application fee. Currently (November 2016) this is £85 for UK and £105 for all other Flag states. To expedite the process it is a good idea to send an email copy of the survey for scrutineering prior to sending the original Tonnage Survey documents to [email protected] The documents are then sent out by the CA department to a scrutineer. On approval the original is signed and stamped and the original documents are sent to the relevant Flag State registry. Once the Tonnage paperwork meets up with the Registration documents and all is approved, the Registry will issue a Carving and Marking Note. For pleasure vessels the C&M can be signed off by the vessel owner. For Commercial Vessels, the C&M requires to be signed off by a Surveyor after re-visiting the vessel. The Original C&M should then be sent either into the CA for ‘stamping’ prior to sending on to the Registry or directly to the Registry by the Surveyor. Page 5 of 19 IIMS Tonnage Survey Manual - Jan 2017 V3 © IIMS CERTIFYING AUTHORITY 2017 Information required for completion of the certificate of survey All information should be Typed / Hand written in BLACK ink with BLOCK CAPITALS. Measurements should be in metres to 2 decimal places. e.g. 13.56 not 13.6 Tonnage should be to 2 decimal places. e.g. 22.49 not 22.5 Figures for measurement and tonnage should be rounded up or down to the nearest one hundredth. e.g. 22.495 = 22.50 or 22.494 = 22.49 NAME OF SHIP To be entered exactly as it appears (or will appear) on the vessel. Do not use ‘Quotation’ marks or any other surplus punctuation marks.

HIN/CIN: The HIN (Hull Identification Number) or CIN (Craft Identification Number) should consist of 14 consecutive characters visible on the starboard outboard side of the transom, or near the stern within 50mm of the transom top, gunwale, hull/deck joint or its capping, whichever is lowest. Example; FR–SPBDB430 G617 FR = COUNTRY CODE (FRANCE) SPBDB = MANUFACTURERS CODE 430 = HULL or MANUFACTURERS NUMBER. G6 = MONTH & YEAR HULL MOULDED A = JANUARY B = FEBRUARY, C = MARCH ETC. THIS ONE IS JULY 2016 17 = MODEL YEAR …2017 YEAR BUILT: Only the year built should be shown. This is not the model year, see example above for vessels with HIN / CIN numbers. E.g.

Measurement interpretations LENGTH OVERALL Means the distance between the foreside of the foremost permanent structure and the afterside of the aftermost permanent structure. Moulded bathing platforms etc. that form part of the hull structure and are open to the main hull should be included. Bolt on platforms, bowsprits etc. should not. A good rule of thumb is, if the appendage was removed would it leave a large hole to the hull. If the answers YES then it should be included. Page 8 of 19 IIMS Tonnage Survey Manual - Jan 2017 V3 © IIMS CERTIFYING AUTHORITY 2017 Aft Measurement Point Forward measurement point. LENGTH Means the greater distance of the following distances; (a)the distance between the fore side of the stem and the axis of the rudder stock; or (b)96 per cent of the distance between the fore side of the stem and the aft side of the stern; the points and measurements being taken respectively at and along a waterline at 85 percent of the least moulded depth of the ship. In the case of a ship having a rake of keel the waterline shall be parallel to the designed waterline; The LENGTH should be given for all vessels that have a LENGTH OVERALL of 24m or over.

  • Documentation and Tonnage of Smaller Commercial Vessels
    Documentation and Tonnage of Smaller Commercial Vessels This informational brochure provides an overview of federal documentation and tonnage measurement requirements for owners of U.S. commercial vessels less than 79 feet in overall length. If you own such a vessel, certain restrictions on its commercial use may apply depending on a number of factors, including the nature of its commercial activities, the vessel’s net tonnage, and whether the vessel was U.S. built. Vessel Documentation What is vessel documentation? Vessel documentation is a national form of vessel registration, evidenced by a Certificate of Documentation (COD) issued by the Coast Guard’s National Vessel Documentation Center (NVDC). It is one of the oldest functions of the federal government, dating back to the 11th Act of the First Congress of September 1, 1789. Documentation provides evidence of nationality for international purposes, facilitates commerce between the states, and admits vessels to certain restricted trades, such as coastwise trade and the fisheries. Since 1920, vessel financing has been enhanced through the availability of preferred mortgages on documented vessels. Must my commercial vessel be documented? This depends on both the nature of the commercial activities in which your vessel engages and its net tonnage. Vessels which engage in either coastwise trade, or the fisheries on navigable waters of the United States or in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), must be documented, subject to certain exclusion or exemption provisions. Vessels of less than five net tons are excluded from documentation. Those vessels measuring five net tons or more that do not operate in either the coastwise trade or the fisheries on the navigable waters of the United States or in the fisheries in the EEZ, are Exclusive Economic Zone exempt from documentation.

  • Tendency Toward Mega Containerships and the Constraints of Container Terminals
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Tendency toward Mega Containerships and the Constraints of Container Terminals Nam Kyu Park 1,* and Sang Cheol Suh 2 1 Department of International Logistics, Tongmyong University, Busan 48520, Korea 2 Institute of Port & Logistics Industry, Busan 48520, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-010-3575-1004 Received: 25 February 2019; Accepted: 17 April 2019; Published: 6 May 2019 Abstract: This paper focuses on the coping ability of the existing container terminals when mega containerships call at a port. The length of 30,000 TEU (Twenty Equivalent Unit) ships are predicted to be 453 m and occupy 498 m of a quay wall. As a result, the length of berth should be more than a minimum of 500 m. If a 25,000 TEU ship or 30,000 TEU ship call at a terminal, the outreach of QC (Quay Crane) should be a minimum 74.3 m or 81.0 m respectively. As mega ships are calling at the port, the ship waiting time, the available stacking area, and the number of handling equipment can be limited. The analysis reveals that larger ships wait for longer than the smaller ones because they have difficulty allocating the proper seat on berth. As a result of the survey in a terminal, the average occupancy is shown to be 60.4%, the minimum is 52.4%, and the maximum is 73.3%. Surveying the monthly equipment operation rate for 3 years, the average is 85.8%, the minimum is 80.1%, and the maximum is 90.1%.

Its approach blends expertise from across UCL, to make a truly interdisciplinary contribution to the development of a globally sustainable energy system. The shipping group at UCL Energy Institute consists of researchers and PhD students, involved in a number of on-going projects funded through a mixture of research grants and consultancy vehicles (UMAS). The group undertakes research using models of the shipping system (GloTraM), shipping big data (including satellite Automatic Identification System data), and qualitative and social science analysis of the policy and commercial structure of the shipping system. The shipping group’s research activity is centred on understanding patterns of energy demand in shipping and how this knowledge can be applied to help shipping transition to a low carbon future. The group is world leading on two key areas: using big data to understand trends and drivers of shipping energy demand or emissions and using models to explore what-ifs for future markets and policies.
