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.
The outline dimensions of the transducer and the relevant installation items are found in
the

website.
Procedure
1
Based on the vessel drawings, the physical properties of the decks and bulkheads, and
the physical locations of the transceiver and the transducer, design the steel conduit.
The steel conduit should preferably be straight. Start the conduit immediately above
the transducer, and terminate it well above the water line.
2
Manufacture the steel conduit according to the relevant production standards.
3
Mount the steel conduit.
The lower end of the steel conduit shall be welded to the top part of the stuffing tube
creating a watertight assembly.
Secure the steel conduit to decks and/or bulkheads with welds. Observe relevant
requirements and guidelines from the classification society, and make sure that the
conduit is properly supported, strong and watertight.
4
If relevant, allow the relevant maritime authority and/or classification society to inspect
and approve the design and installation.
