MAIN CHANGES IN SOLAS FROM 1ST DEC,2011

SOLAS II-2/7 Detection and Alarm Regulation 7.7 When corridors have two exits to open deck, one manually operated call point is required at each of the exits. Additional manually operated call point at the internal exit to e.g stairway is not required as long as the 20 m distance requirement is not exceeded. Regulation 9.4.2.2 Hold back arrangements with remote release are not accepted in engine room boundaries.

Regulation 10.5.2.1 45 l foam extinguisher and foam applicator shall be provided in machinery spaces containing internal combustion machinery, the subject requirement applies only to machinery spaces containing internal combustion machinery

used for main propulsion and machinery spaces of category A having more than one platform level.

Regulation 10.6.4 Deep fat cooking equipment to be any type of fixed cooking appliance that is capable of, and intended to, being filled up with cooking oil. Tilting frying pans, small portable deep fat fryers (home use type) or traditional electrical galley ranges with flat cooking surfaces are not required to comply with SOLAS Ch. II-2 Regulation 10.6.4. If small portable deep fat fryers are used, they shall be of a type with lid, with max. capacity 2.5 l and max. power 2.0 kW. These units are only to be used inside the galley boundaries.

Regulation 13.3.2.1.1 This regulation shall also apply to the means of escape from spaces above the bulkhead deck. At least one means of escape shall be arranged as independent of watertight doors which are assumed closed in order to maintain the weathertight and watertight integrity in the damage stability calculations.

Regulation 13.3.2.4.1 A means of escape required to provide continuous fire shelter shall comply with all the requirements applicable for stairways, not only insulation requirements. It applies for all vertical stairways as well as horizontal parts (horizontal stairways) of the escape route all the way to the muster/assembly station, being it an indoor or outdoor muster/assembly station.

Regulation 13.3.2.4.2 protected internal routes to be understood to be the route from the muster/assembly station to the embarkation area/station deck when the passengers/crew are guided in controlled groups.

Regulation 13.4.2.1.1 A space is considered a safe position outside the machinery space of category A if it is not contiguous to the boundaries of the machinery space of category A or if the common bulkhead between the two spaces is insulated to class A-60.

Navigational systems Regulation 21.4.3 In case of fire casualty affecting the navigating bridge, the following navigation equipment (portable or fixed) should be available in another location: a) Compass (magnetic) b) GPS c) X-Band radar display with electronic charts d) Whistle e) Navigation lights f) Internal communications with engine control room and steering gear

1. WHY THE GENERATOR RATING IN KVA & MOTOR RATING IN KW? (class ll oral question) ANS-1.it gives a electrical output for any Load(may Capacitor,Inductor &

resistor),so it is consider as Procuct of Voltage & Current excluding powerfactor. 2. Generator is a source of power. It includes active as well as reactive power. It deliver only active power while working on unity power factor. It deliver reactive power only while connected to a purely reactive load. It can deliver both of these powers while connected to a composite load. This signifies that the current limit is the main factor here. You can draw a purely rective current of rated value or purly active current of rate value. combination of output depends upon the load but the maximum limit is prescibed. When you are drawing both of the currencts active and reactive, in such condition how much the alternator can deliver? it can be descibed by KVA only not by KW. That is why alternators are rated in KVA 3. Generator is producer of Voltage and Current, we can connect load as such draining full load current or half load, even noload,but voltage remain moreover same.So it willl rated in terms of product of V*I, secondly it gives a electrical output for any Load(may Capacitor,Inductor & resistor),so it is consider as Procuct of Voltage & Current excluding powerfactor. 2ND PART.

Motors are rated in KW only because for motors the load is

mechanical and thus only active power which is converted to mech. is significant. 2. motor has its own fixed Power Factor for ratd kw design by manufacturer.
