Context
The installation shipyard must provide all necessary design and installation drawings, as
well as the relevant work standards and mounting procedures.
If required, these documents must be approved by the vessel’s national registry and
corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society. Such approval must be
obtained before the installation can begin. The shipowner and shipyard doing the installation
are responsible for obtaining and paying for such approval.
Relevant outline dimensions and production drawings can be download from our website.
Most documents are available in PDF or AutoCad (DWG) formats.
Procedure
1
Based on the vessel drawings, the physical properties of the hull and the shape of the
transducer housing, design the installation hardware.
2
Manufacture the hardware according to the relevant production standards.
3
Mount the installation hardware under the vessel’s hull.
Note
Make sure that the surface of the resulting installation is smooth and streamlined.
Mounting screws or bolts must not be extruding from the hull or from the installation
hardware. Ensure that the surface of the transducer face, the hull plating and putty
around the transducer is as even and smooth as possible. Obstructions on these
surfaces may create problems with noise.
4
If relevant, allow the relevant maritime authority and/or classification society to inspect
and approve the design and installation.
