Common Structural Rules - Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers, January 2019 - Part 2 Ship Types - Chapter 2 Oil Tankers - Section 4 Hull Outfitting - 2 Miscellaneous Deck Attachments
2 Miscellaneous Deck Attachments
2.1 Cargo manifolds
2.1.1 Cargo manifold support
The design of the cargo manifold support is to be such as to distribute the loads imposed on the pipework into the ship structure in seagoing or in harbour operations during loading and unloading. To achieve this, the connection of the cargo manifold support to the deck is to be arranged to align with stiffening members of the main hull structure or stiffening is to be fitted in order to avoid the creation of hard points. Attention is to be paid to the detail design of the structure forming the deck attachment in order to minimise the effects of change of section. The arrangement of such details and their approval is considered on a case-by-case basis by the Society.
