55. Under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) shipowners must now have insurance to assist the
seafarers on board vessels if they are abandoned. All ships, to which the convention applies, whose flag
states have ratified the MLC must have the insurance certificate on board and on show in English as of
January 18
Abandonment occurs when the shipowner:fails to cover the cost of the seafarer’s repatriation; or has
left the seafarer without the necessary maintenance and support; or has otherwise unilaterally severed
their ties with the seafarer including failure to pay contractual wages for a period of at least two
months’
The insurance will cover seafarers for up to four months’ outstanding wages and entitlements. The
insurance must also cover reasonable expenses such as repatriation, food, clothing where necessary,
accommodation, drinking water, essential fuel for survival on board and any necessary medical care. It
will apply from the moment of abandonment to the time of arrival back home.
Over 70 nations have so far ratified the Convention which entered into force in 2013. This now
includes all of the major seafarer supply nations, with China ratifying the Convention in 2015.
The ITF (International Transport Workers has welcomed the entry into force. ITF president Paddy
Crumlin said: “At last the fundamental idea that those who send seafarers to sea have a responsibility
for them is enshrined in regulation.”
ITF general secretary Steve Cotton commented: “These new provisions are deeply significant, and a
worthy addition to the hugely significant MLC itself. All parties must now work together to ensure that
they are put into action and address those areas in the world where there’s an absence of MLC
ratification.”

98. Election of four members from Lok Sabha to National Shipping Board.

99. what is hydrate formation: Hydrate formation is kind of solid shaped particle formation like ice that
occurs due to reaction of water with hydrocarbon. It happens on gas ships,in the cargo pump lines
due to presence of mixture/water which solidifies/freezes….. Hydrate formation takes place in gas
 carrier while carrying LPG cargo specially Propane. It is icing of moisture present in cargo, it may take
place inside tanks , specially at the sump of submersible cargo pump, to clear it methenol is injected
using pressurised nitrogen gas.
Also some time hydrate formation takes place in discharge line of cooling plant after condenser
cooling

100. Why esp is not held for passenger ships?

esp is the enhance survey programme of inspiration , that means it's a programme for every 5 years
where all checks related to constructional safety of the ship, PSSC also check every year related to
same thing more strictly.

Boundary cooling from all four side of bridge.
Battery room connection to be isolated.
Muster at safe location as per situation.
Fight fire effectively as per ship fire plan.
Keep lifeboat ready.
Boundary cooling from all six side.

106. Unstable ship heeling one side at an angle centre of gravity concides with centre of buyoncy in natural
equilibrium then angle of equilibrium =angle of loll. If -ve GM ship released slowly from upright it will
approach to angle of loll .However ship released suddenly vessel quickly heel bypassing angle of loll to another
angle called angle of lurch.If it exceed angle of vanishing ship will capsize.

Aug 17………………………..

Forebody optimization includes considerationof the bulb design, waterline entrance, forwardshoulder and
transition to the turn of the bilge.Potential flow calculations are routinely applied in this optimization process.
The properly designed bulbous bow reduces wavemaking resistance by producing its own wave system that is
out of phase with the bow wave from the hull, creating a canceling effect and overall reduction in wavemaking
resistance. The flow is more horizontal, reducing eddy effects at the forward bilge. Physical factors considered
in bulb optimization include volume, vertical extension of the center of volume, longitudinal extension and
shape. A bulb with a reverse pearshaped section is primarily effective at the design condition, pear-shaped
bulbs work best for drafts below the design draft (i.e. ballast draft or partial load draft) and cylindrical shaped
bulbs offer a compromise solution. A V-shape may be introduced at the base of the bulb to mitigate slamming
impact loads. Faster, more slender vessels favor larger volume and forward extension of the bulb. ‘Goose-
neck’ type and stretched bulbs are particularly effective when draft and speed vary over a small range. Fuller
ships such as tankers and bulk carriers are often arranged with bulbs having a large section area

and V-shaped entrance, such that it behaves as a traditional bulb at loaded draft and acts to extend the
waterline length at ballast draft. In combination with optimization techniques, the bulbous bow design should
be developed in a careful manner using free-surface potential flow or viscous flow calculations. Larsson and
Raven address further details on bulbous bow and forebody design in their Principles of Naval Architecture
Series.

The characteristics of the bulbous bow must be carefully balanced with the shape of the entrance and the
transition towards the forward shoulder and bilge. Bulbs are most effective at certain Froude number (speed-
length ratio) and draft. Changes in speed and draft significantly change the wave created, such that reductions
in draft or speed can actually lead to increases in wavemaking resistance. As few commercial vessels operate
solely at a design draft, compromises in the bulb design are needed to provide good performance over the
expected range of operating drafts and speeds. Maersk Lines reports fuel savings of over 5 percent by
modifying the bulbous bow of a shipyard design which was optimized to the design draft, so that it provided
more favorable performance over the anticipated operating profile of drafts and ship speeds. Bow flare also
influences motions and added resistance in waves. V-shaped rather than U-shaped flare is generally preferred,
as it tends to reduce motions without adding resistance. The increased resistance in heavy seas due to
pronounced flare is currently not fully understood, and consequently rarely considered during the design
process; however efforts are ongoing to develop an understanding.

Sept 17:
1. New in IG system requirements… Why IG. how will u prepare a tank for inspection. Composition of IG.
O2 content of IG.
The oxygen content of the Inert Gas   supplied to cargo tanks should be 5% or less. However, it is to be noted that too less
content of oxygen in the IG would introduce other impurities into the cargo tanks.
After efficient scrubbing of the inert gas, the typical constituents of a flue gas are :
 Nitrogen (N)- 83%
 Carbon Dioxide (CO2)- 12-14%
 Oxygen( O2) 2-4%
 Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) 50 ppm
 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Trace
 Nitrogen Oxides ( NOx  ) 300 ppm
 Water Vapour (H2O) Trace (hIGh, if not effectively dried)
 Ash and Soot C Traces
 Density 1.044 (heavier than air)
Inert condition means a condition in which the oxygen content throughout the atmosphere of a tank has been reduced to 8% or
less by volume by addition of inert gas .
