    Study Notes

    The Importance of Sea Trials in Ship Building

    • Sea trials are crucial tests carried out on a newly built ship before delivery to ensure it conforms to technical specifications and classification society rules.
    • The tests are carried out to guarantee the safety of the ship, crew, and cargo, and to prevent penalties for non-conformance.
    • The tests include measuring the draft of the ship to ensure it meets the required specifications and correcting it if necessary.
    • The anchor test is performed to check the functioning of the anchoring mechanism and ensure the ship's stability.
    • The steering gear test is carried out to assess the manoeuvrability of the ship in case of an emergency.
    • The main engine endurance test includes running the engine for six hours at full rated RPM and recording nine measurements to test its performance at full load.
    • Speed trials are conducted to check the speed of the vessel at the required draft as per the contract, with a grace margin of 0.3 knots.
    • The crash stop test assesses the stopping ability of the ship in an emergency situation.
    • The astern running test is carried out to test the manoeuvring capability of the vessel to run in the astern direction.
    • The turning circle test measures the diameter of the circular path which the vessel traverses when the rudder is put hard to port or starboard.
    • Navigation equipment, such as RADAR and communication systems, are checked during sea trials.
    • The blackout test observes the automatic starting of the emergency Diesel Alternator set within 45 seconds of the shutdown of all main generators.
