For ships suitable for in-water surveys which will
be assigned the Class Notation IW, the requirements of
Section 37, are to be observed.

Validity, Equivalence
1.
The Rules apply to seagoing steel ships classed
A 100 whose breadth to depth ratio is within the range
common for seagoing ships and the depth H of which is
not less than:
L/16 for Unlimited Range of Service and P
(Restricted Ocean Service)
1.
For determining the scantlings of the longitudinal and
transverse structures of ships intended to operate within
one of the restricted service ranges P, L and T, the dynamic
loads may be reduced as specified in Sections 4 and 5.
2.
For the definition of the restricted service ranges
P, L and T see Rules for Classification and Surveys,
Volume I, Section.2,.C.3.1.1

Accessibility
1.
All parts of the hull are to be accessible for survey
and maintenance.
2.
For safe access to the cargo area of oil tanker and
bulk carriers see Section 21, N.

Stability
2.
Ships deviating from the Construction Rules in their
types, equipment or in some of their parts may be classed,
provided that their structures or equipment is found to be
equivalent to BKIs requirements for the respective class.

Anti-heeling devices
3.1
If tanks are used as anti-heeling devices, effects of
maximum possible tank moments on intact stability are to
be checked. A respective proof has to be carried out for
several draughts and taking maximum allowable centres
of gravity resulting from the stability limit curve as a basis.
In general the heeling angle shall not be more than 10.
3.2
If the ship heels more than 10, Rules for Machinery
Installations, Volume III, Section 11, P.1.4 has to be
observed.
3.3
All devices have to comply with Rules for Electrical
Installations, Volume IV, Section 7, G.

Computer Programs
1.
General
1.1
In order to increase the flexibility in the structural
design of ships BKI also accepts direct calculations with
computer programs. The aim of such analyses should be
the proof of equivalence of a design with the rule
requirements.
1.2
Direct calculations may also be used in order to
optimize a design; in this case only the final results are to
be submitted for examination.

General Programs
2.1
The choice of computer programs according to "State
of the Art" is free. The programs may be checked by BKI
through comparative calculations with predefined test
examples. A generally valid approval for a computer program
is, however, not given by BKI.
2.2
Direct calculations may be used in the following
fields:
S
longitudinal strength,
detailed strength,
global strength.
2.3
For such calculation the computer model, the
boundary condition and load cases are to be agreed upon
with BKI. The calculation documents are to be submitted
including input and output. During the examination it may
prove necessary that BKI perform independent comparative
calculations.
