Lloyd's Publishes New

Floating Docks Rules

Lloyd's Register has now pub- lished its Rules For Floating

Docks as a separate hard-backed volume. For the convenience of clients, all the Rules affecting

Floating Docks have been re- edited and brought within the scope of this volume which con- tains chapters on classification, survey, construction and fire pre- caution requirements. Any ma- chinery fitted should generally be to the same standard as that on ships.

A recent amendment to the

Rules For Floating Docks, an- nounced in 1973, allows docks larger than 40,000-tons lifting capacity to be built with a re- duced mid-section modulus. This is because in the majority of cases the longitudinal bending of a floating dock can be controlled by suitable distribution of water ballast. In the case of the larger m KOEHLER-DAYTON

New Britain, Connecticut 06050 docks, the degree of control is sufficient for the longitudinal strength requirements to be re- duced below the previous Rule value.

This amendment, when applied to docks in the 53,000 to 70,000- tons lifting capacity range, will lead to a reduction in deck plat- ing thickness of up to 15 percent.

The hard-backed volume sells for £3 ($7.08), and can be ob- tained direct from Lloyd's Regis- ter of Shipping. 19 marine e n v i ronment-sensiti ve retention ems msts* the optimum waste-treatment system/ completely self-contained/solid-state con-| trolled/disposal options include pump-out, volume reduction and containment and high- temperature conversion either Py injection into ship's boiler or built-in thermal chamber/ enviromac™ designed specifically for the existing vessel with a space-cost-service profile that precludes a zero-discharge sewage treatment system/ modular components allow complete instal- lation flexibility/wide range of power requirement options/short-term sewage- retention capaPilityfor operation in controlled waters/ contact: marine sales manager; telephone 203-225-3501 ext. 403 commidore® the ideal self-contained flushing toilet/manual and electric operation options/water-seal odor control/can discharge into a holding tank for extended service/simple, fool-proof installation/
