Ship classification societies originally had varying specifications for steel: but in 1959, the major societies agreed to standardize their requirements in order to reduce the required grades of steel to a minimum. There are now five different qualities of steel employed in merchant ship construction and now often referred to as IACS steels. These are graded A, B, C, D and E, Grade A being an ordinary mild steel to Lloyds Register requirements and generally used in shipbuilding. Grade B is a better quality mild steel than Grade A and specified where thicker plates are required in the more critical regions, Grades C, D and E possess increasing notch-tough characteristics, Grade C being to American Bureau of Shipping requirements. Lloyds Register requirements for Grades A, B, D and E steels may be found in Chapter 3 of Lloyds Rules for the Manufacture, Testing and Certification of Materials.

Sub-assembly, assembly and block drawings can be created in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional form and a library of standard production sequences FIGURE 14.1 Bulk carrier single shell side block unit When any panel and the block assemblies are complete there will be some time buffer before their erection at the building berth, building dock or within the building hall to allow for any mishaps in the production schedule. Stowage is generally adjacent to the berth, dock or building hall and will vary in size according to the yard’s practice, some yards storing a large num- ber of units before transferring them to the berth or dock for erection in order to cut the berth/dock time to a minimum.

This opening is to have rounded corners and be kept clear of the bilge strake if possible. The sea inlet box is to have the same thickness as the adjacent shell but is not to be less than 12.5 mm thick and need not exceed 25 mm. Sea inlets in tanker pumprooms within 40 per cent of the ships midship length are required to have compensa- tion generally in the form of a heavier insert plate in the shell. A grill may be fitted over the opening and a sacrificial anode will normally be fitted because the valve metal and steelbox set up a galvanic cell (see Chapter 27).
