T-EPF MAINTENANCE

Dry Docking – Twice in 5 Years:o Vessels are ABS Classified, and vessel delivery date establishes the annual inspection requirementso Annual surveys in years 1 through 4 allow a 3 month inspection windowo The ABS Class Renewal Survey at the completion of year 5 has a hard end date and must be

COMPLETED prior to the due date to include any work growth!

Typical Maintenance periods based on 5-year ABS cycle: o Years 1, 2, 4: 30-45 days. Annual Pier side Availability o Year 3: 60 days. Dry Docking Availabilityo Year 5: 60-90 days. Dry Docking Availabilityo NOTE: Hull Repair Requirements may require Docking in years 1, 2, or 4!

Voyage Repairs – Two x 21 days eacho Mission planners must anticipate at a minimum two VR periodso Supports Crew SAMM (Preventive Maintenance) and Industrial Support. o MSC will provide max flexibility for VR period scheduling

o Mission on / offload not scheduled during dedicated maintenance periods

o Advance planning and communications are critical!

M&R windows often include time for regulatory requirements!o SMART, AVCERT, ARQ, ISM/SMC, ISA…

ALUMINUM REPAIRS

• Determine Sensitization Levels

• Pulse GMAW must be used on repairs and install where deck plate thickness is below 6mm.

• Provide material certs, welder certs, and an ABS approved, ‘reduced heat’ weld procedure specification (WPS) to the MSC REP and ABS surveyor prior to commencing work

• All material, including prefabricated installations, shall be traceable to the material certifications and verified prior to installation.

• Ultrasonic Impact Treatment (UIT) shall be used as part of the repair process where the area is considered to be moderately sensitized.

• Plasma Arc Cutting shall NOT be used for material cutting

32UNCLASSIFIED

ALUMINUM REPAIRS

• continued…

• Shell seams shall be 300mm apart unless a request for deviation is approved by the MSC REP

• The recommended distance between field weld seams is 100mm (4in).

• Inserts shall include cut and insert plate or planking with a minimum of 75mm (3in) radius corners.

• All welds shall include non-destructive testing (NDT) upon completion and be completed to the satisfaction of the MSC REP and ABS surveyor. As a minimum, PT and UT shall be conducted on ALL shell plating welds. NDT 100% of weld seam. Structure welded to the hull perimeter shall have 20% PT testing.

–The 20% structure PT locations shall be determined based on 5X visual inspection completed in the presence of ABS and MSC REP.

Adaptive Force Packages (AFP)

• MSC ships are being tasked to perform missions not envisioned when originally designed

• AFP Packages are attractive to mission sponsors for their rapid integration

• AFPs present different cargo payloads and operational requirements which may present high risks to ships and personnel

• The Oil and Gas industry Risk Assessment Methodology was chosen to address the complexities of compounding AFPs

• Signed Oct 9, 2018, there is official MSC guidance on shipboard Operational Risk Management program.

Vessel “interface” and integration work is considered to be a TRANSALT and must follow the approved T-ALT Process with ABS and technical approvals.
