General
About Volvo Penta's demands for hull
construction
Normal scantling rules (e.g., ISO 12215) focus on var-
iables such as propeller thrust, steering forces, mass
of machinery, etc.
The Volvo Penta IPS hull requirements focus on ensur-
ing an adequate structure to keep the hull intact in a
hard grounding where the drives are designed to shear
off under certain conditions. Extensive full scale testing
and calculations conducted by Volvo Penta show that
forces generated in an underwater collision or ground-
ing are more than 10 times higher than protection
afforded by following traditional scantling rules.
IMPORTANT!
The Volvo Penta IPS is designed to function as an
integrated part of the hull and laminate structure. The
strength of the entire system is dependant on the inte-
grated strength of the IPS and the hull and laminate
structure. The strength of the hull structure is depend-
ant upon a number of factors including shape, fiber-
glass quality and strength, type and quality of resin,
lamination conditions, laminator skill, etc. The ultimate
responsibility to ensure that all Volvo Penta IPS hull
are produced consistently with these requirements
rests exclusively with the boat builder.
