1 General

 The purpose of the guidelines is to provide an evaluation method and criteria for residual throat thickness for the fillet weld between the deck plate and deck longitudinals in order to prevent collapse accidents of aged oil tankers. To ensure that evaluation of the ship’s longitudinal strength is recognized as valid, the fillet weld between longitudinals and deck should be in sound condition.
