(Enacted 1991) Cap 369R reg 8 SHIPS OF UNDER 1600 TONS (1) In every ship to which these regulations apply being a ship of under 1600 tons not having its main source of electrical power situated above the uppermost continuous deck or raised quarter deck and outside the machinery casings there shall be provided in a position above the uppermost continuous deck or raised quarter deck and outside the machinery casings a self-contained emergency source of electrical power so arranged as to ensure its functioning in the event of fire or other casualty causing failure of the main electrical installation. (2) In every such ship the emergency source of electrical power required by subregulation (1) shall be capable of operating simultaneously for a period of at least 3 hours the following services- (a) the emergency lighting required to be provided at the muster and embarkation stations and alleyways, stairways and exits giving access to the muster and embarkation stations, and at each survival craft, its launching appliance, and the area of water into which the survival craft is to be launched; (L.N. 153 of 2001) (b) the general alarm, if electrically operated; (c) the ship's navigation lights if solely electric.(3) (a) In every such ship the emergency source of electrical power shall be either accumulator (storage) batteries capable of complying with the requirements of subregulation (2) without being recharged or suffering an excessive voltage drop or a generator driven by internal combustion type machinery with an independent fuel supply and with efficient starting arrangements and the fuel provided for such machinery shall have a flash point of not less than 43oC. (b) The emergency source of electrical power shall be so arranged that it will operate efficiently when the ship is listed 22 1/2 degrees and when the trim of the ship is 10 degrees from an even keel. (c) Provision shall be made for the periodical testing of the emergency source of electrical power and its associated circuits. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369R reg 9 Electric and electro-hydraulic steering gear (1) Every ship to which these regulations apply which is fitted with electric or electro-hydraulic steering gear shall be provided with indicators which will show when the power units of such steering gear are running. These indicators shall be situated in the machinery control room or in such other position or positions as the Certifying Authority may approve, and on the navigating bridge. (2) In every such ship of 5000 tons or over the following provisions shall apply- (a) electric and electro-hydraulic steering gear shall be served by two circuits fed from the main switchboard, one of which may pass through the emergency switchboard, if one is provided. Each circuit shall have adequate capacity for supplying all the motors which are normally connected to it and which operate simultaneously, and if transfer arrangements are provided in the steering gear room to permit either circuit to supply any motor or combination of motors, the capacity of each circuit shall be adequate for the most severe load condition. The circuits shall be separated as widely as is practicable throughout their length; (b) only short circuit protection shall be provided for such circuits and motors.(3) In every such ship of under 5000 tons in which electrical power is the sole source of power for both main and auxiliary steering gear, the arrangements shall comply with the requirements of subregulation (2), except that if the auxiliary steering gear is powered by a motor primarily intended for other services, suitable overload protection shall be fitted. Only short circuit protection shall be provided for the motors and power circuits of any electrically or electro-hydraulically operated main steering gear fitted in any ship of less than 5000 tons. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369R reg 10 Precautions against shock, fire and other hazards of electrical origin (1) In every ship to which these regulations apply all electrical equipment shall be so constructed and installed that there will be no danger of injury to any person handling it in a proper manner. Subject to the provisions of subregulation (2), where electrical equipment supplied as ship's equipment is to be operated at a voltage in excess of 55 volts, the exposed metal parts of such equipment which are not intended to have a voltage above that of earth, but which may have such a voltage under fault conditions, shall be earthed. (2) Exposed metal parts of portable electric lamps, tools and similar apparatus, supplied as ships' equipment to be operated at a voltage in excess of 55 volts, shall be earthed through a conductor in the supply cable, unless by the use of double insulation or a suitable isolating transformer protection at least as effective as earthing through a conductor is provided. When electric lamps, tools or other apparatus are used in damp spaces, provision shall be made, so far as practicable, to ensure that the danger of electric shock is reduced to a minimum. |
