PIPING SYSTEMS on ships :

1. GENERAL SERVICE SYSTEMS:

Systems to provide general services regarding
safe-operations during sailing and
berthing.
2. ME & AE AUXILIARY SYSTEMS:
Systems that required to support and to properly
run ME & AE, on which they are not
attached/ included in ME & AE
3. DOMESTIC SYSTEMS FOR
ACCOMODATION:
Domestic systems required to supply crews’
needs during sailing.
4. CARGO OIL SYSTEM FOR TANKERS:
Systems on tankers that required to loading
/off-loading cargo oil, and to support
operation and safety.

GENERAL SERVICE SYSTEMS:

a. BILGE SYSTEM:

Systems to carry-out drainage in the

event of flooding and leaking on
the vessel due to grounding and /
or collision.
b. BALLAST SYSTEM:
System to manage ship’s stability by
means of managing the location
and weight of water ballast (hence,
the ship’s centre of gravity) to
provide safe operation during
sailing and cargoing.
c. FIRE MAIN SYSTEM:
Main fire-fighting systems using
seawater hydrant.

– FO Transfer System
– FO Purifying System
– FO Supply System
b. L.O. SYSTEM
– LO Transfer System
– Main Lubricating System
– LO Purifying System

– Compressed air Services

CARGO OIL SYSTEM FOR TANKER :

1. Cargo Oil Systems

• Main Cargo Oil System
• Stripping System
2. Cargo Oil Supporting
System
 For treatment and safe
operation of cargo oil:
• Cargo Heating System
• Cargo Tank Cleaning
System
• Inert Gas Generator
System (IGGS)

2. SCOPE OF CLASSRULES ON PIPING SYSTEMS

Apply to piping systems, including valves, fittings
and pumps, which are:
1. Necessary for the operation of the main
propulsion and its auxiliaries and equipment
2. Piping systems used in operation of the ship,
whose failure could directly or indirectly impair
the safety of the ship or cargo
3. Piping systems which are dealt with other

3. VALVES with respect to their function:

a.STOP VALVES
– stop valves are used to stop flow or isolate a portion of the system until
it is desirable to achieve flow downstream of the valve.
– The basic design requirement of stop valves is to offer minimum
resistance to flow in the fully open position and to exhibit tight shut-off
characteristics when fully closed.
b. REGULATING VALVES
– Regulating valves are used extensively in piping systems to regulate the
flow of fluid. Whether the desired effect is to control flow, pressure, or
temperature, the task is accomplished by increasing or decreasing the
flow through the valve in response to a signal from a pressure, flow, or
temperature controller.
– The primary requirement of a flow-control valve is to predictably regulate
the flow with respect to its open position and impart the required
pressure drop without sustaining damage.
c. SAFETY VALVES
– Pressure-relief devices are used to protect piping and equipment from
being subjected to pressures that exceed their design pressures.
– Generally, the seating of relief valves is accomplished by a compressed
spring, which exerts a force on the valve disc, pressing it against the
valve seat.

4. TANKS :

As a mean for storage any fluids except

Seawater :
�Name of tanks:
a.Acc to the fluid content of tank
ex: fuel oil tank, lub oil tank, freshwater tank, water
ballast tanks, etc
b. Acc to location of the tank
ex: double bottom tank, forepeak tank, afterpeak
tank

COMPONENTS of TANKS :

�Filling pipe
� Discharge pipe
� Drain pipe
� Vent pipe
� Sounding pipe
� Overflow pipe
� Manhole
