In calculating the section modulus of the rudder, the effective width of side plating is to be taken as not greater than twice the athwartship dimension of the rudder

In order for a cover plate to be considered effective, it is to be closed using a full penetration weld and confirmed suitable by non-destructive testing method. G

For spade rudders and rudders with horns, the section modulus at the bottom of the rudder is not to be less than one-third the required section modulus of the rudder at the top of the rudder or at the center of the lowest pintle. Special a
8、ttention is to be paid in design and construction of rudders with slender foil sections in the vicinity of their trailing edge (e.g., hollow foil sections, fishtail foil sections). Where the width of the rudder blade at the aftermost vertical diaphragm, w, is equal or less than 1/6of the trailing ed
9、ge length measured between the diaphragm and the trailing edge, , finite element vibration analysis of the rudder blade is also to be submitted for review. See 3-2-8/Figure 5.

20、ailure (1 July 2017) The failures (as listed, but not limited to items in 4-3-3/11.9) likely to cause uncontrolled movements of rudder are to be clearly identified. In the event of detection of such failure, the rudder should stop in the current position. Alternatively, the rudder may be set to retu

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis methodology may be used to identify the failures. 4 ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING HIGH-SPEED CRAFT .2017 Notice No. 1 July 2017 11.9 Instrumentation and Alarms (Revise Subparagraph 4-3-3/11.9.7, as follows:) 11.9.7 Low Oil Lev
22、el Alarm (1 July 2017) A visual and audible alarm is to be given on the navigation bridge and engine room control station to indicate a low oil level in any power unit reservoir. The operation of this alarm is not to interrupt the power supply circuit. (Add new Subparagraph 4-3-3/11.9.12, as follows
23、:) 11.9.12 Earth Fault (1 July 2017) A visual and audible alarm is to be given on the navigation bridge to indicate an earth fault on AC and DC circuits (Add new Subparagraph 4-3-3/11.9.13, as follows:) 11.9.13 Deviation (1 July 2017) Where arrangements discussed in 4-3-3/11.9.8, 4-3-3/11.9.9, 4-3-3
24、/11.9.10 and 4-3-3/11.9.11 can lead to reduced or erroneous system performance of the commanded change in rudder angle, a deviation alarm visible and audible at the navigating bridge shall be initiated if the rudders actual position does not reach the set point within acceptable time limits for the
25、closed loop control systems (e.g., follow-up control, computer based systems, and autopilot). Deviation alarm may be caused by mechanical, hydraulic or electrical failures. See 4-3-3/11.9.8, 4-3-3/11.9.9, 4-3-3/11.9.10 and 4-3-3/11.9.11 for acceptable time limits or angle deviations, as applicable.

Flexible hose assemblies constructed of non-me
27、tallic materials intended for installation in piping systems for flammable media and sea water systems where failure may result in flooding are to be of a fire-resistant type*, except in cases where such hoses are installed on open decks having no fire risk, and not used for fuel oil lines. Fire res
28、istance is to be demonstrated by testing to ISO 15540 and ISO 15541. * Note: The installation of a shutoff valve immediately upstream of a sea water hose does not satisfy the requirement for fire resistant type hose.

29、PART 4 CRAFT SYSTEMS AND MACHINERY CHAPTER 6 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS SECTION 2 SHIPBOARD SYSTEMS 7 Distribution System (Revise Paragraph 4-6-2/7.9, as follows:) 7.9 Harmonics (1 July 2017) The total harmonic distortion (THD) in the voltage waveform in the distribution systems is not to exceed 8% an
30、d any single order harmonics not to exceed 5%. Other higher values may be accepted provided the distribution equipment and consumers are designed to operate at the higher limits. This relaxation on THD limits is to be documented (harmonic distortion calculation report) and made available on board as
31、 a reference for the Surveyor at each periodical survey. Where higher values of harmonic distortion are expected, any other possible effects, such as additional heat losses in machines, network resonances, errors in control and monitoring systems are to be considered. See also 4-6-2/9.18 and 4-6-2/9
32、.19. 9 Circuit Protection System (Add new Paragraph 4-6-2/9.18, as follows:) 9.18 Harmonic Distortion for Ship Electrical Distribution System including Harmonic Filters (1 July 2017) 9.18.1 Monitoring Where the electrical distribution system on board a ship includes harmonic filters, such ships are
33、to be fitted with facilities to continuously monitor the levels of harmonic distortion experienced on the main bus bar as well as alert the crew should the level of harmonic distortion exceed the acceptable limits. Where the engine room is provided with automation systems, this reading is to be logg
34、ed electronically, otherwise it is to be recorded in the engine log book for future inspection by the Surveyor. However, harmonic filters installed for single application frequency drives such as pump motors may be excluded from the requirements of this section. 9.18.2 Measurement As a minimum, harm
35、onic distortion levels of main bus bar on board such existing ships are to be measured annually under seagoing conditions as close to the periodical machinery survey as possible so as to give a clear representation of the condition of the entire plant to the Surveyor. Harmonic distortion readings ar
36、e to be carried out when the greatest amount of distortion is indicated by the measuring equipment. An entry showing which equipment was running and/or filters in service is to be recorded in the log so this can be replicated for the next periodical survey. Harmonic distortion levels are also to be
37、measured following any modification to the ships electrical distribution system or associated consumers by suitably trained ships personnel or from a qualified outside source. Records of all the above measurements are to be made available to the surveyor at each periodical survey in accordance with
38、the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7). 9.18.3 Validation of Calculated Harmonic Where the electrical distribution system on board a ship includes harmonic filters, the system integrator of the distribution system is to show, by calculation, the effect of a failure of a harmonic filter
39、 on the level of harmonic distortion experienced. The system integrator of the distribution system is to provide the ship owner with guidance documenting permitted modes of operation of the electrical distribution system while maintaining harmonic distortion levels within acceptable limits during no
40、rmal operation as well as following the failure of any combination of harmonic filters. 6 ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING HIGH-SPEED CRAFT .2017 Notice No. 1 July 2017 The calculation results and validity of the guidance provided are to be verified by the Surveyor during sea trials. 9.18.4 Filter
41、 Protection Alarm Arrangements are to be provided to alert the crew in the event of activation of the protection of a harmonic filter circuit. A harmonic filter is to be arranged as a three-phase unit with individual protection of each phase. The activation of the protection arrangement in a single
42、phase is to result in automatic disconnection of the complete filter. Additionally, there is to be installed a current unbalance detection system independent of the overcurrent protection alerting the crew in case of current unbalance. Consideration is to be given to additional protection for the in
43、dividual capacitor element as (e.g., relief valve or overpressure disconnector) in order to protect against damage from rupturing. This consideration is to take into account the type of capacitors used. (Revise first paragraph of Paragraph 4-6-2/9.19, as follows:) 9.19 Protection of Harmonic Filter
44、Circuits (1 July 2017) Notwithstanding the requirements of 4-6-2/9.18 above, harmonic filters circuits shall be protected against overload and short-circuit. An alarm is to be initiated in a continuously manned location in the event of an activation of overload or short-circuit protection. (Followin

Other recognized marine standards of an equivalent or higher safety level, will also be considered. The tests may be
47、carried out by the manufacturer whose certificate of tests will be acceptable and is to be submitted upon request from ABS. Network cables are to comply with a recognized industry standard. Cables such as flexible cable, fiber-optic cable, etc., used for special purposes may be accepted provided the
48、y are manufactured and tested in accordance with recognized standards accepted by ABS. Conductors are to be of copper and stranded in all sizes.
