3. SPECIFIC FEATURES AND QUALITIES OF THE VESSEL

The Hull is Single-skin and is designed to sail at high speed while maintaining high standards of stability and thus able to withstand the effects of wave and bad weather conditions

The hull is in deep V, is more pronounced at the bow to get a high speed and has been studied to achieve good
behaviour at sea

The boat is built in Polyester Reinforced with Fiberglass (GRP) hull and superstructure

The vessel has a superstructure where we find the navigation bridge, which allows itself optimal use in all weathers

The quality of the superstructure assures the vessel a high degree of stability and enables more efficiency of the propulsion set and allows the vessel to possess qualities of flexibility and rapid manoeuvrability

The boat meets the standards applicable to vessels of the same type/Class

3.2 Certification

The rescue boats are built under the supervision of the classification society Det Norske Veritas (DNV), recognized by international maritime authorities

The Classification Society scope is ensuring that the rescue boats meet the requirements for obtaining a Certificate of Construction for this type of vessel

Lines Plan, as well as stability documents are subject to the approval of the Classification Society

The costs of intervention by the Classification Society are manufacturer’s responsibility

The Classification Society is responsible for verifying that the construction of the vessels in its own standards and final specifications of this contract and is responsible for supervising the tests in accordance with its regulations
 

During construction will be supplied to representatives of the Owner a copy of all plans and all technical

documentation that are necessary to survey the construction.

Upon delivery the constructor will provided for each vessel the original and one copy of all plans "as built", project

Calculations and construction that will include:

It is anticipated, before the delivery of each vessel, for a period of 2 weeks at the site of the manufacturer, captain and mechanic

During this period, all expenses (housing, meals and travel) are supported by the Manufacturer and also training, given by the Manufacturer

In this way the two technicians will receive adequate instruction on the operation and safety of the ship.

The yard ensures to endorse a policy covering its liability work and on the other hand a trustrisk policy covering the value of the vessel under construction at its premises

In the event of disaster, redemption premiums would be allocated for the reconstruction of the vessel subject of this
contract

In this case the delivery time, in particular penalties for delay would no longer apply

An addendum of contract would redefine these terms

The boats are built, hull and superstructure, in GRP

The hull is divided into compartments by watertight bulkheads and is protected throughout its length by defences (minimum 220 mm), which ensures protection against the striking from the dock or vessels in case of transhipment

The boats are self-righting; whatever working conditions at sea

The evacuation of seawater shipped into the coffers devices is provided by "ad hoc"

The stability calculations are subject to the approval of the Classification Society

It approves and certifies that the vessel is self-righting

The scantling of the materials used (structural and hull), and assembly procedures are in accordance with the rules of the Classification Society and the regulations specific to the vessels of open-seas rescue
