§ 3.02 Proof of Intact Stability for Gierseil ferries

1.

In addition to § 2.02, the evidence of sufficient intactstability for yaw ropes must be based on calculations for inclinations of the yaw ropes according to the upper current and the substream.

2.

Proof of sufficient intac stability on slopes in accordance with Oberstrom shall be considered to be provided if the cranial of the Gierseil ferry according to Oberstrom in case of a loading according to No. 4 and full equipment and in case of compliance with a residual freefall by number 7 with simultaneous action

High-yaw rope ferries with auxiliary drive are to be expected with semi-filled fuel tanks. Proof is to be provided in the form of a graphic lever arm balance. For at least three assumed loading conditions according to point 4 and at least three flow velocities according to point 6, the cranient lever arms shall be in meters according to the formula

BT	the horizontal distance between the point of attack of the yawing rope from the centre of the ship in metres (m),
α	the angle of the yawing rope on the ship against the horizontal,
MW	the wind pressure torque in Kilonewtonmeter (kNm) in accordance with Section 15.03 (5) of Annex II,
MZ	the moment from the postponement of the payload to the number 5 in Kilonewtonmeter (kNm),

Evidence of sufficient intactstability on slopes after substream is provided when the cranials of the yaw tube have an angle of φzul, taking into account the loading conditions and the wrenching influences referred to in the second sentence of point 2, which angle is equal to Relationship

tan φzul =	H-T
	B

, does not exceed.

Therein is:

φzul	the critical angle,
H-T	the distance from the deepest point of the ferry deck to the waterline at φ = 0 °, which comes first to water when the ferry is craned to substream in meters (m),
T	the draught in the case of the loading case to be investigated in metres (m) and
B	the width of the yaw tube at the height of the deck at the place where the measure H has been assumed, in metres (m).

The limit angle shall not exceed 10 °. Proof shall be provided in the form of a graphic comparison of the angle of inclination to be adjusted with the limit angle for at least three loading conditions referred to in point 4 and at least 3 flow rates according to point 6.

hkr	the sum of the cranient lever arms in meters (m),
φzul	the critical angle in relation to the above relationship; and
Ha	the erecting lever arm in meters (m).

The wrenching lever arms in meters are according to the formula

hkr =	1	-[(Wq + WG + WW)-(BT-tan α-HT) + MW + MZ]
	g-D

and the righting lever arms, according to the formula

ha =	MG	-φzul

4.

For the purposes of the calculation referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, a mixed loading Z of land vehicles and 45 persons shall be accepted in homogeneous distribution. It is in each case for a calculation step in

Z1 = (0-PF) + (0-PP) (Gierseilfähre leer),

Z2 = (0.5-PF) + (1-PP) (half-load),

Z3 = (1-PF) + (1-PP) (whole load)

, where Z is the weight of the payload in tonnes, PF is the weight of the land vehicles in tonnes and PP is the weight of 45 persons in tonnes.

5.

The moment from the lateral displacement of the load is to be calculated according to the following formula:

MZ = Zn-e

In this formula:

Zn	the weight of the load Z2 or Z3 in tonnes (t),
e	The largest lateral displacement path of the load from the central longitudinal axis of the yaw tube in meters (m).

If the scooping system is set in such a way that a lateral displacement of the land vehicles is not possible, only the lateral displacement of the persons according to the formula MZ = PP-e must be used in the calculation.

6.

In the calculations according to paragraphs 2 and 3, the average flow rate of water is mainly:

a)

low water level (NW),

b)

Mean water level (MW) and

c)

High-water level (HW)

shall be considered. The values must be verifiably related to the ferry service and must be confirmed by the competent water and shipping authority. A cross-sectional drawing of the ferry station shall be attached to the invoice.

FR = H-TS

In this formula:

FR	the remaining freeboard in meters (m),
H	the side height up to the deepest point of the ferry deck in metres (m),
TS	the height of the height in metres (m).

In the case of greed rope tubes with a cover jump, in which the raised outer skin forms a fixed gown, the residual freeboard can be offset from the point of articulation of the landing flaps or from the deepest non-watertight point of the armour; the deeper point is authoritative.

8.

In the calculations referred to in points 2 and 3, a residual water level of 0.02 m shall be accepted in the ferry.
