RINA Part B Chapter 1

Structural requirements
Part B contains the requirements for determination of the minimum hull scantlings, applicable to
all types of seagoing monohull displacement ships of normal form, speed and proportions, made
in welded steel construction, except for bulk carriers and oil tankers, for which the requirements
in the "Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers" and "Common Structural Rules for ouble
!ull "ankers" apply# "hese requirements are to be integrated with those specified in Part $, for
any indi%idual ship type, and in Part &, as applicable, depending on the additional class
notations assigned to the ships#
&or ships with the notations bulk carrier $SP CSR and oil tanker $SP CSR, the abo%e'
mentioned Common Structural Rules apply as appropriate with the addition of the following
requirements(
a) ships with the notation bulk carrier $SP CSR
* Sec + ' as regards the calculation programs
* Ch ,, Sec -, Ch ,, Sec ., Ch ,, /pp - and Ch ,, /pp . ' for the requirements
concerning 0ntact Stability
b) ships with the notation oil tanker $SP CSR
* Sec + ' as regards the calculation programs
* Ch ,, Sec -, Ch ,, Sec ., Ch ,, /pp - and Ch ,, /pp . ' for the requirements
concerning 0ntact Stability
* Ch 1, Sec + ' for the requirements concerning superstructures and deckhouses
* Ch -2, /pp - ' for the requirements concerning rudders#
"he requirements of Part B, Part $ and Part & apply also to those steel ships in which parts of
the hull, e#g# superstructures or mo%able decks, are built in aluminium alloys#
Ships whose hull materials are different than those gi%en in 3-#-#.4 and ships with no%el features
or unusual hull design are to be indi%idually considered by the Society, on the basis of the
principles and criteria adopted in the Rules#
"he strength of ships constructed and maintained according to the Rules is sufficient for the
draught corresponding to the assigned freeboard# "he scantling draught considered when
applying the Rules is to be not less than that corresponding to the assigned freeboard#
5here scantlings are obtained from direct calculation procedures which are different from those
specified in Chapter 6, adequate supporting documentation is to be submitted to the Society, as
detailed in Sec ,#
Limits of application to lifting appliances
"he fixed parts of lifting appliances, considered as an integral part of the hull, are the structures
permanently connected by welding to the ship7s hull 8for instance crane pedestals, masts, king
posts, derrick heel seatings, etc#, excluding cranes, derrick booms, ropes, rigging accessories,
and, generally, any dismountable parts)# "he shrouds of masts embedded in the ship7s structure
are considered as fixed parts#
"he fixed parts of lifting appliances and their connections to the ship7s structure are co%ered by
the Rules, e%en when the certification 8especially the issuance of the Cargo 9ear Register) of
lifting appliances is not required#
Rule application
Ship parts
&or the purpose of application of the Rules, the ship is considered as di%ided into the following
three parts(
* fore part
* central part
* aft part#
Fore part
"he fore part includes the structures located forward of the collision bulkhead, i#e#(
* the fore peak structures
* the stems#
In addition, it includes
* the reinforcements of the flat bottom forward area
* the reinforcements of the bow flare area#
Central part
"he central part includes the structures located between the collision bulkhead and the after
peak bulkhead# 5here the flat bottom forward area or the bow flare area extend aft of the
collision bulkhead, they are considered as belonging to the fore part#
Aft part
"he aft part includes the structures located aft of the after peak bulkhead#
