154.1 Noise
To prevent the occurrence of potentially hazardous noise levels and provide an acceptable acoustic
environment onboard, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Resolution A.468 (XII), 1981, entitled:

Code on noise levels on board ships, should be followed for the normal transit condition, ballast at 4
meter draft , main engines at 90% MCR, shaft generators and one auxiliary generator running, engine room
fans and necessary equipment running, as well as the HVAC-system in the accommodation, according to IMO
A. 468.
An extract of the upper limit of noise levels specified in the IMO Code are given below:
Engine room
Control room
Workshops
Mess/Recr. room
Bridge wings

grinded before testing.

Before applying the paint over the shop primer and between different coats:
(Unless otherwise indicated for the particular area- see 271 to 286-)
Remove all weld spatter, smooth weld seams and sharp edges. Fresh water wash or degrease as necessary
to remove all dirt and contamination. Ensure area is clean and dry prior to application and verify that thickness
of the previous coat (including shop-primer is within the recommended values. Clean welds, damaged and
corroded shop primer by blasting to SA 2 or by power tooling to St 3

All areas shall be touched up with understroke paint before top coat is applied. This also applies for the

Electric Generating Plant and Power Management System

Control and operation of generator sets


The entire electrical power plant shall be automatically controlled by a Power Management System (PMS),
part of the IAS. The power management system shall be provided with the following functions:
Automatic power management of the generators depending on the necessary power demand and the
generators ability and stand by situation. The correct and suitable combination should automatically be
established.
In case of starting of big consumers the available power should automatically be checked and if necessary the
stand by diesel generator should be started automatically and connected to the switchboard. As soon as
available power is accepted, the big consumers should start.
An estimate of 12 heavy consumers should be needed.
If the power consumption on the main switchboard has decreased and should be covered by smaller number
of generator set, the generator of lowest priority should automatically be loaded off, disconnected from
switchboard and stopped. The operations shall be provided with certain delays.
Each generator set shall automatically shut down in accordance with the manufacturers design criteria. A
shut-down condition shall be identified by an alarm connected to the IAS alarm and monitoring system..
Each generator set shall be fitted with its own electronic governor, with the speed setting remotely carried out
by the governor control switch on the Switchboard room main switchboards.
Automatic/manual synchronizing, automatic load sharing device, frequency control, preferential tripping and
automatic generator management for alternators shall be provided.

The shaft generators should only be used when requested shaft power is available on the main engine and
the engine speed is locked in constant speed mode.
The PMS system shall carry out synchronizing, closing and opening of generator breaker.
Blocking of heavy consumers
When a heavy consumer receives a start signal, the PMS will check if there is enough available power on the
bus bar. If sufficient power is available on the actual bus bar, the consumer will start immediately.
If there are not enough power available on the actual bus bar, a new diesel engine will start and connect the
bus bar, or a shaft generator breaker, or a bus tie breaker will close (depending of PMS mode) to obtain the
additional required power. Then the heavy consumer will start immediately.
Preferential Trip
When the running generator (s) is overloaded, non-essential consumers shall be automatically tripped to
prevent the complete power failure of the Vessel. This shall be included in the PMS system, and the trip will
affect only the consumers on the affected busbar. The preferential tripping system of non-essential consumers
shall be arranged as follows:
If busbar frequency relay detects under-frequency (setting 57Hz, delay 10sec.) of the generators
If generator load relay (kW and/ or current) detects generator overload above 100% load (delayed 20 sec.),
If generator load relay (kW and/ or current) detects generator overload above 107% load (instantaneously trip)
The following non-essential consumers shall be tripped in the MSB:
