GeneralFor all ships trading world-wide, it will in the near future be required to have an approvedQuality Assurance System - ISO 9002 on board.

An important part of your ship's Q-A System will be a Planned Maintenance System for all theequipment on board, i.e. job specifications, carried out by, approved by, inspection intervalsas well as a separate record book for logging of results.

There is no doubt that a properly maintained system will reduce operation costs and obtain asafe and sound ship.

Planned Maintenance System for FRAMO Cargo Pumping System ;

Approximately 1.200 ships are today equipped with FRAMO Cargo PumpingSystem.Someofthem have already an approved Quality AssuranceSystemon board, but the majority will haveto develop and implement a Q-A Systemin the near future.

To give these «FRAMO Ships» some guidance, we have in this Service Bulletin proposed a ba-sic Planned Maintenance System on the next pages. The equipment on board, as well as thetype of ship and trade may differ from ship to ship - our proposal is therefore to be understoodas guidance only.

Explanation to the following basic Planned Maintenance System

«Equipment»: is the main components in your specific FRAMO CargoPumping System.

..-J

«Job Specifications»: specifies the various activities.Note! A visual inspection of the cargo pump's top platemeans visual control of local control valve, purging valve,ball valve, pressure gauge, et cetera. Repair whennecessary.

«Drawing No.» : refer to the drawing in the FRAMO Service Manual.

«Maintenance instruction»: refer to FRAMO Service Manual.

«Carried out by/Approved by»: can vary from ship to ship, but it is a must that theresponsibilities are clearly defined.

«Inspection intervals»: can vary according to type of ship and trade and yourown experience.

Ten Rules to remember...1. Purge the cargo pump's cofferdam before and after discharge. Log and

evaluate the purging result. Take necessary action.

2. Never start any dismantling of the cargo pump before you have identified

the problem. Always pressure test the cargo pumps cofferdam to identifyany leak. Always remember to use the correct tools from the FRAMO toolbox.

3. Use only genuine FRAMO parts.

4. If you have any problem with capacity, stripping or parallel pumping,check the cargo pump's condition against the performance curve

5. During discharge: Regulate the hydraulic system pressure to approx.15 bar above the highest consumer - regulate cargo pump capacity byhydraulic pressure, not by throttling of cargo valve. l!

6. Avoid air in the hydraulic system. Deairate the system on a regular basis.

7. Keep the hydraulic system clean. Cleanliness is absolutely necessary.

8. Take a hydraulic oil sample, every 3rd month for particle counting (ISO4406). Every 12th month full analyze according to FRAMO standard1400.063.

9. Never mix the hydraulic oil with lub. oil.

10. Implement a planned maintenance system for the complete cargopumping system.

Dear Customer!

RECOMMENDATIONSTO REDUCEYOURMAINTENANCECOSTS J

With the implementation of the ISM-code, a planned maintenance program is required. In this respect we would like to

draw your attention to the part of the program concerning the FRAMO cargo pumping plant. Based on experience, new

technology and feedba~k from our customers, the maintenance recommendations have changed over time.

We recommend you to update your program according to this information.

Hydraulic Oil Filters - Change IntervalsIn the original instruction manuals you may find that thefilters have been recommended changed once a year,

even without any filter alarm. Today the filters are to be

changed based on condition only, either from a filteralarm due to high differential filter pressure or from the

analysis result of oil samples.

v

should no filter alarm occur and your hydraulic oil is in

good condition {cleanliness level better than ISO code16/12} the filters should not be changed.

We recommend that you draw a sample for particle

contamination analysis four times a year. In addition, a

full analysis should be carried out once a year. FRAMOcan offer assistance during oil sampling, monitoring and

trend analysis as well as providing advice of preventivemaintenance.

Reduced Water Content in Hydraulic Oil -Increased Lifetime

Previously the maximum allowed water content in the

hydraulic oil was 0,1 %. Experience has shown that a low

water content in the hydraulic oil improves lifetime of

hydraulic components as well as of the hydraulic oil itself.We have found that the maximum water content should

be below 0,05% or 500ppm.

~

Thewater contentshould normally be well below300ppm.

Any increase in water content must be investigated, thecause corrected and the water removed. To remove water

we may offer rental of purifier and / or special waterfilter. Note that this is only a temporary solution - the

cause of the water ingress must be located and repaired! --I

Testing of Cargo Pumps

In the past we have recommended you to test run your cargo pumps against closed discharge valve, once or twice a

year. Such a test requires calibrated pressure gauges and there are several possibilities for error as well as the amount

of work involved. Provided no problems are experienced during discharge, parallel pumping or stripping, there is noneed for periodic testing of the cargo pumps.

The cargo pump test is useful when trouble shooting a specific pump.

Testing of cargo pumps is recommended in view of a planned docking.

Pre-docking tests are necessary to set up a

proper repair schedule to determine which

cargo pumps will need an overhaul.

Cargo pump testing is also carried out duringon board training courses.

This is to inform the crew of how to do the test

and learn to evaluate the results.

In view of above we kindly ask you to change

this activity from periodic to condition based in

your planned maintenance program.

Framo Tool Boxes - Use SpecialTools and Reduce YourService CostsExperience has shown that the originally supplied special tools contained in the FRAMO tool boxes are often lost or

damaged over the years. Doing maintenance on the cargo pumps without these tools may cause damage to the

pump as well as to the new parts, increasing your total costs. It is better to renew the contents of the tool box than

paying for damage during repair or even malfunction during the following discharge operation.

please include an annual check of the FRAMO tool box in your maintenance program.

Spline LubricationExperience indicates that inspection and lubrication of the spline connection between the hydraulic pumps and thePTO output shafts is neglected, causing abnormal wear on the spline. This is also the case on electric motors withspline connection.

It is very important to have a scheduled routine for control of this lubrication. We recommend that the oil on the

spline is changed every 800 running hours, or every six months, whichever comes first.
