Artikel 2 Stockholm Agreement 1996

2 Ship model 2.1 The model should copy the actual ship for both outer configuration and internal arrangement – in particular of all damaged spaces, having an effect on the process of flooding and shipping of water. The damage should represent the worst damage case defined for compliance with paragraph 2.3.2 of SOLAS regulation II–1/8 (SOLAS 90). An additional test is required at a level keel midship damage, if the worst damage location according tot SOLAS 90 is outside the range ± 10% Lpp from the midship. This additional test is only required when the ro-ro spaces are assumed to be damaged. 2.2 The model should comply with the following: .1. length between perpendiculars (Lpp) is to be at least 3 m; .2. hull is to be thin enough in areas where this feature has influence on the results; .3. characteristics of motion should be modelled properly to the actual ship, paying particular attention to scaling of radii of gyration in roll and pitch motions. Draught, trim, heel and centre of gravity should represent the worst damage case; .4. main design features such as watertight bulkheads, air escapes, etc., above and below the bulkhead deck that can result in asymmetric flooding should be modelled properly as far as practicable, to represent the real situation; .5. the shape of the damage opening shall be as follows: .5.1. rectangular side profile with a width according to SOLAS regulation II-1/8.4.1 and unlimited vertical extent; .5.2. isosceles triangular profile in the horizontal plane with a height equal to B/5 according to SOLAS regulation II–1/8.4.2.
