NSCV Part C3 - Construction: Generic Equivalent Solution

This document discusses using AS 4132 standards for constructing fiber reinforced plastic and aluminum vessels up to 13 meters in length. It outlines the construction requirements from NSCV Part C3, including withstanding static and dynamic loads, operating environments, concentrated loads, deformation, redundancy, impact resistance, and fatigue. It then considers AS 4132 Parts 1, 2 and 3 to be an equivalent solution to meeting these requirements for light and robust duty vessels up to 13 meters operating in coastal waters.

NSCV PART C3 - CONSTRUCTION


USE OF AS 4132 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF VESSELS USING FRP OR ALUMINIUM

Application
GES 2010/02
This equivalent solution is only applicable to Fibre Reinforced Plastic and Aluminium vessels up to 13m in
measured length which:
• have a service speed less than or equal to 30 knots; and
• operate only in areas C, D or E.

Current Requirement
NSCV Part C Section 3 - Construction sets out the following required outcomes:
2.1 SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND STATIC LOADING
A vessel must be designed and constructed to withstand all static loading in both normal and abnormal conditions of
operation.
2.2 SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND DYNAMIC LOADING
A vessel must be designed and constructed to withstand the dynamic loading that may arise in both normal and
abnormal conditions of operation.
2.3 SUITABILITY FOR OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
A vessel must be designed and constructed to withstand the loads that arise from the intended operating environment,
in normal and abnormal conditions.
2.4 CONCENTRATED LOADING
A vessel must be designed and constructed to withstand any concentrated loading that might occur in normal or
abnormal conditions of loading.
2.5 DEFORMATION
The structure of a vessel must be designed and constructed to
a. avoid permanent deformation in normal operations unless specifically designed to do so; and
b. limit the extent of deformation in normal or abnormal conditions of operation where such deformations would
compromise the safety of the vessel or damage to adjacent structure.
2.6 REDUNDANCY
A vessel must be designed and constructed to incorporate a measure of redundancy to maintain serviceability in the
event of structural degradation that might be expected over a period of time in normal operation.
2.7 IMPACT RESISTANCE
A vessel must be designed and constructed to reduce the risks of impact loading that could cause structural failure and/
or loss of watertight integrity.

This solution is approved by the National Regulator for the purposes of NSCV Part B 1.6.

NSCV Part C Sub-section 3 – Construction


Use of as 4132 for construction of vessels using FRP or aluminium

2.8 FATIGUE
Structure subject to cyclical loadings or repeated stress fluctuations must be designed and constructed to avoid or
control the risks of fatigue failure.
2.9 AVOIDANCE OF CAUSES OF HIGH STRESS CONCENTRATION
The structure of a vessel must be designed and constructed to avoid or minimise the effect of discontinuities,
abrupt changes in section of structural members, misalignments, penetrations and other causes of high stress
concentration.
The applicable deemed to satisfy solutions for compliance with these outcomes for vessels of measured length up
to 13m, not in class and conducting either light or robust operations are listed in Clause 3.2.2, Table 1 of NSCV Part
C3 as follows:

Measured Length Robust Operations Light Operations


< 13 m and > 7.5 m The relevant Lloyd's Rules The relevant Lloyd’s Rules; or
ISO 12215
< 7.5 m The relevant Lloyd's Rules The relevant Lloyd’s Rules; or
ISO 12215; or
AS1799
Note: “relevant” rules are specified in NSCV Part C3 - Clauses 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 respectively.

Equivalence

The National Regulator considers that the design and construction of Fibre Reinforced Plastic or Aluminium vessels
up to 13m in measured length which:
• have a service speed less than or equal to 30 knots; and
• operate only in areas C, D or E waters
in accordance with AS 4132 Parts 1, 2 and 3 as applicable, for both light and robust duties, is at least as effective in
meeting the required outcomes listed above as the deemed to satisfy solution set out in clause 3.2.2 of the NSCV
Part C3.
