2003 Lloyd’s Register of Shipping

1. 2003 Lloyd’s Register of Shipping

2. Oil major requirements • more or less? Presentation by Graeme Blevins and Brian Henry Consultancy Services Group

3. Objectives • Illustrate relationship between standards: Class>ESP>CAS>CAP • Cover LR’s view of oil major vetting requirements • Open discussion of class, statutory and CAP standards

4. Relative levels of inspections CAP CAS ESP CLASS

5. Actual benefits of CAP to tanker owners • Objective evidence of quality tonnage • Opportunity to attract major charterers • Wider selection of charters • Combining class/ESP, CAS & CAP surveys

6. Intangible benefits to tanker owners • Opportunity to assess repair needs • Facilitated contact between owner/charterer • 3rd party assesses Oil Major requirements

7. Overview of CAP-LR • An independent rating scheme of ship’s structure, machinery and cargo systems • Allows owners, charterers, shippers and terminal operators to make objective judgements about a ship’s condition • CAP-LR is not a classification requirement • CAP-LR is not an endorsement nor a negation of classification

8. Overview of CAP-LR • CAP-LR is part of the vetting programmes of:BP >20,000 Tonnes >15 Years Valid to next DD + FATIGUE Petronas All ships >15 Years Valid 30 months + FATIGUE Preem >5,000 Tonnes >20 Years Repsol >5,000 Tonnes >20 Years Statoil > 3,000 Tonnes >15 Years Valid: 3 Years CAP 2 < 3,000 Tonnes have 4 Years CAP 1 reduced scheme Vela >20,000 Tonnes >15 Years BP & Repsol require CAP on hull structure only

9. Oil companies requirements Confidence in the structure to survive 3 years to the end of service without reaching the stage that would need renewal under class requirements. The risks of failure from corrosion and from poor design through fatigue are to be specifically addressed.

10. CAP Hull structure inspection • Close-up inspection of hull envelope plating, all ballast & selected cargo tanks • General examination of all other cargo oil tanks • Ultrasonic thickness measurement of hull structure

11. ESP Hull structure Inspection • Close up of all ballast tanks • Close up of 1 complete wing cargo tank • Close up of all transverse bulkheads • Close up of 1 transverse web in remaining wing cargo tank • Close up of 1 transverse web in each centre cargo tank

12. IMO CAS Hull structure inspection • All web frame rings, in all ballast tanks • All web frame rings, in a cargo wing tank • A minimum of 30% of all web frame rings, in each remaining cargo wing tank • All transverse bulkheads, in all cargo and ballast tanks • A minimum of 30% of deck and bottom transverses including adjacent structural members, in each cargo centre tank • Additional complete transverse web frame rings or deck and bottom transverse including adjacent structural members as considered necessary by the attending surveyor

13. Conventional tanker with protective location

14. ESP close-up inspection

15. CAP close-up inspection

16. IMO CAS close-up inspection

17. Thickness measurement analysis • Submitted in LR TM software • Migrated to CAP-LR to obtain ratings for individual members judged against “as-built rule” scantlings • Structural members assessed are:shell plating deck plating oil tight bulkheads web framing longitudinal stiffening fore and after peaks

18. Fatigue (optional) • Screening assessment • Based upon LR ShipRight FDA2 • Typical loading patterns • Assumed corrosion rate • Identification of potential hot spots • Used to target inspection

19. Fatigue report format

20. Other aspects of CAP-LR • Machinery and Cargo • General examination of machinery and cargo equipment • Operational effectiveness of safety protection systems • Maintenance practices audit • Rating is calculated by weighting of relative criticality

21. Report • The CAP-LR report is a comprehensive statement of condition found • The CAP-LR certificate contains individual ratings from 1 (high) to 4 (low) for: • hull structure • machinery • cargo systems
