LIST OF CRITICAL AREAS:

CARGO HOLD Upper Deck (incl. hatch coamings)

- Hatch corners and hatch end beam connection to topside tank transverse ring web

- Hatch coaming longitudinal end brackets

- Hatch coaming brackets

Cargo Hold (incl. underdeck, bulkheads & stools) (see Figs 1a to 1e)

- Connections in way of upper boundaries of corrugated bulkheads

- Connection of side shell frames to hopper and topside tank plating

- Connections in way of lower stool shelf plate

- Welded knuckle connection of hopper tank sloping plating to inner bottom plating

- Radiused knuckle connection of hopper tank sloping plating to inner bottom plating

- Connections of lower stool to inner bottom plate

- Connections of lower stool to inner bottom in way of double bottom girders

TANKS Double Bottom Tank (incl. hopper) (see fig 2a & 2b)

- Floor vertical flat bar stiffener connection to bottom and inner bottom longitudinals

- Welded knuckle connection of hopper tank sloping plating to inner bottom plating

- Radiused knuckle connection of hopper tank sloping plating to inner bottom plating

- Transverse ring web, flat bar stiffener and tripping bracket connection to

longitudinal on hopper sloping plate, bottom shell and side shell and side shell

plating

- Upper intermediate brackets below hold side shell frame lower brackets

connections of bottom and inner bottom longitudinals below lower stool

Topside Tank (see fig 3)

- Deck transverses, stiffener connection and tripping bracket connection to

longitudinals on upper deck

- Transverse ring web, stiffener connection and tripping bracket connection to

longitudinals on topside tank sloping plate

- Lower intermediate brackets above hold side shell frame upper bracket

- Hatch corners and hatch end beam connection to topside tank transverse ring web

- Connections in way of upper boundaries of corrugated bulkheads

-

Side Tank Structure (Double Skin Bulk Carriers only) (see fig 4)

- Connections of side shell longitudinals to horizontal stiffeners and horizontal tripping

brackets on transverse webs

-

GENERAL Structures adjacent to areas previously part renewed should be specially considered with

respect to reduced scantlings; typically i.w.o. part renewed main frames.

Note: consequences of reduced scantlings due to corrosion:

- Buckling of deck

- Buckling of watertight bulkheads

- Buckling of stringers, frames and girders

- Cracking

Special attention to be paid to possible corrosion and mechanical damages of top wing

tank drop lines in holds.
