3 If the materials or type of unit prevents the use of a high-pressure hose, wipe the
unit using a cloth dampened with water containing a little detergent. Examples are
the upper parts of hull units (inside the hull) and hydraulic systems
4 Do not use excessive amounts of water as some components on the unit may not be
water tight. Wipe off the detergent with a damp cloth, then dry the unit thoroughly.
5 All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion, flaking/bubbling paint, stains
etc. Damaged or suspect areas must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the
correct preservation mediums. The mediums to be used will normally be defined in
the unit’s maintenance manual.
Cables
Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable shows signs of wear or
ageing, contact Kongsberg Maritime for advice.
Dehumidifier
Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or similar) into the unit to keep
the electronic components as dry as possible.
Coatings
Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light oil) before packing.
Storage prior to installation or use
When a system, a unit or a spare part has been delivered to the customer, it may be
subject to long time storage prior to installation and use. During this storage period,
certain specifications must be met. The equipment must be preserved and stored in such
a way that it does not constitute any danger to health, environment or personal injury.
1
The equipment must be stored in its original transportation crate.
2 Ensure that the units are clearly separated in the shelves and that each unit is easily
identifiable.
3
The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended (eg. work
platform etc.).
4 The crates must not be placed on top of each other, unless specific markings permit
this.
5
The crates must not be placed directly on a dirt-floor.
6 Do not open the crate for inspection unless special circumstances permit so.
• “Special circumstances” may be suspected damage to the crate and its content, or
inspections by civil authorities.
