FUNCTION 3 - PART 03: INSTRUCTOR MANUAL

Many paints contain poisonous substances and release toxic fumes as solvents evaporate. The
vapours of most paint solvents will produce flammable or explosive mixtures with air in poorly
ventilated spaces.
The risks are greatest when using. spray equipment in enclosed spaces. Personnel must -wear
breathing apparatus, sources of ignition must be excluded and ventilation must be provided while
work is in progress. Precautions for entering enclosed spaces should be taken after painting has
been completed until the paint has thoroughly dried and no risk of release of vapour remains.
Manufacturers' instructions regarding protective clothing and safety precautions should be
followed.

This section deals with the surveys and inspections required by classification societies. The
requirements for survey under international conventions are dealt with in subject module 3.2,
Maritime Law. The annual inspection required by the International Convention on Load Lines,
1966, is usually carried out by a classification society surveyor, acting on behalf of the flag State
Administration. The inspection is similar to that required for the classification society's annual
survey.
Surveys and dry-docking

The hardeners that are used in two-pack (or bi-pack) polyurethane and epoxy paints are toxic
and may also cause allergic 'reactions following contact with skin. Protective clothing and
disposable gloves should alw~ys b,e worn when working with these paints.

Calculations on box-shaped vessels have been introduced at a number of places in this syllabus.
They are included to illustrate basic principles and to aid trainees' understanding of actual ships'
data. The appendix to this instructor manual contains stability data and capacity tables for use
iX'l the preparation of exercises. Instructors should make a collection of data for other ships as
the opportunity arises. The application of the principles of stability to determining the final
draught, trim and initial GM for a given complete distribution of cargo is included in the function,
Cargo Handling and Stowage.
Stability

Approximate calculation of areas and volumes

This section covers the use of the trapezoidal rule and Simpson's rules for the calculation of
areas. The derivation of Simpson's rules and their use for finding moments or second moments
of area has not been included. The calculation of volume where the given ordinates are areas is
covered.
The use of Simpson's rules is required for finding areas under a GZ curve, for checking
compliance with recommendations on lntact stability. Trainees should also be able to apply
them for calculating areas of decks and volumes of compartments aboard ship.

Effects of density
In tidal estuaries the density of the water may vary considerably according to the state of the
tide. When checking draughts or freeboard near completion of loadinq it is essential to
