COSAL, APL, and AEL Flashcards

Study Notes

COSAL Overview

COSAL stands for Coordinated Shipboard Allowance and is essential for inventory management in naval operations.
It is a vital document for ensuring that ships have the necessary parts and equipment on board.

Parts of COSAL

COSAL is divided into three main components:
- Part I: SOAPL (Summary of Allowance Parts/Equipage Components Lists) which provides an overview of allowed parts.
- Part II: Contains APL (Allowance Parts List) and AEL (Allowance Equipage List) relevant to the ship.
- Part III: Includes either SNSL (Storeroom Items) or ISL (Integrated Stock List), detailing stock items available.

APL (Allowance Parts List)

APL is a detailed list documenting all repair parts that are installed in various systems or equipment aboard the ship.
This list assists in maintenance and repairs by outlining the specific parts needed.

AEL (Allowance Equipage List)

AEL enumerates all equipment and systems that are installed on the ship.
It serves to provide a comprehensive view of the ship's operational capabilities and associated gear.
