ISO/TC 8/SC 12 - Ships and marine technology - Large yachts

This document provides a comparative scale (no judgement) of motion-related comfort onboard yachts to be used for technical and commercial benefit. The scale consists of a maximum number of 5 stars, the higher the amount of stars, the higher the comfort onboard. It allows the selection of the most suitable yacht for a specific purpose, evaluates the impact of stabilization systems, compares designs and identifies the most comfortable position onboard. The methodology, work flow and criteria proposed in this document are subject to possible improvements and do not take into account certain important aspects that influence the comfort onboard. The following aspects are not covered in this document: jerk, the method to derive roll damping, stern quartering seas, risk of parametric roll, the influence of the steering devices, green water and waves impacts, compensation for yacht size, gender and age dependency, habituation. By explicitly listing the aspects that are not covered in this document, the reader becomes aware of them and can improve the assessment with dedicated considerations.

This document specifies technical requirements for direct adhesive bonding of glazing materials into recesses forming part of the structure of the ship and into frames that are fastened to the structure of the ship. It is applicable to large yachts as defined in ISO 11336-1. This document is limited to the bonding of independent glazed openings, where the bonded joint is designed to withstand local loads (from external loads coming from weather and sea conditions, internal impact loads from accidental passenger or cargo shifting, wind suction and accelerations due to ship motions). Bonding of glazed openings where the glazing material is subjected to loads from global ship motions (bending, shear force and torsion), which are considered as structural glazed openings, are outside the scope of this document. Quantitative identification of the global deflection is also outside the scope. Additionally, this document is limited to bonding that exhibits elastic behaviour, and excludes rigid bonding and nonlinear elastic bonding. The design of the bonding for the following installation types is outside the scope of this document: — fire protected areas; — glazed bulwarks; — underwater glazing; — pool glazing; — glazing for use in polar areas; — unstepped IGUs.

This document specifies — the content of the product data sheet of glazing materials for use on yachts, — the evaluation of conformity to the product data sheet of laminated glass and laminated safety glass for use on yachts, — the product labelling and identification methods for glass supplied for installation on board a yacht, and — methods for survey of installed glazing. It does not cover distortion of view or aesthetic aspects.

ISO 14884:2015 specifies technical requirements for weathertight hinged, sliding, and pantograph doors for manual and powered operation providing access to accommodation and service areas on large yachts, taking into account the location of the appliance. This International Standard only considers design loads applied to the door and transmitted into the frame and the adjacent structure. Loads imparted from the yacht's structure into the door or in its associated frame are not considered in this International Standard. Unframed glazed doors are outside the scope of this International Standard. Forward facing multi-leaf doors on the weather deck are outside the scope of this International Standard. Large yachts are of L greater than or equal to 24 m, in use for sport or pleasure and commercial operations. The appliances considered in this International Standard are primarily those that are intended to achieve weathertightness as required by International Convention on Load Lines 1966 as amended by the Protocol of 1988 (ICLL), (i.e. those fitted in position 1 and position 2) as defined in this regulation. NOTE This International Standard is based on the experience of ship door, window, and glass manufacturers, shipbuilders, and authorities who apply to ships the regulations of the ICLL, noting the provisions of Article 8 "equivalents", as agreed by the appropriate marine administration

ISO 14886:2014 applies to the structural fire protection of large FRP yachts of 24 m in length and over, and carrying up to 12 passengers. ISO 14886:2014 is not applicable to vessels subject to SOLAS. By using the heat transfer Fourier Number, ISO 14886:2014 determines the equivalency of any proposed insulated FRP sandwich laminate to the model insulated sandwich laminate based on a fire tested insulated laminate approved in accordance with IMO FTP Code as a fire-resisting division. The method considers the relevant mechanical, thermal, and physical properties of the insulation and the FRP laminate. The technology of the elements of the insulation and FRP resistance to heat, smoke, and fire used in ISO 14886:2014 and the effectiveness of the insulation are applicable in general to insulated FRP as a fire-resistant material.

ISO 16556:2014 defines the requirements for layout, design, and installation for large yacht anchoring equipment.

ISO 14885:2014 specifies the safety requirements for diesel engines with a rated power of 100kW and over for propulsion and essential auxiliaries for power generation for large yachts 24 m and over in hull length, measured in accordance with ISO 8666:2002, and of less than 500 GT which are in commercial use for sport or pleasure, and do not carry cargo and do not carry more than twelve passengers. The engine in terms of ISO 14885:2014 is understood as the prime mover up to its driving extremitie(s) for power take off(s). ISO 14885:2014 does not cover engines used for generating the emergency source of electrical power.

ISO 11209:2012 gives guidelines for the minimum structural scantling of lifting appliances for large yachts. It is applicable to the following lifting appliances: · cranes; · access gangways (including side ladders); · access gangways when used as a lifting appliance. ISO 11209:2012 is not applicable to lifting means for life saving appliances, which are covered by recognized rules and/or international regulations. ISO 11209:2012 covers mainly the following aspects: · service class; · applied loads; · design criteria; · allowable stress; · strength check; · elastic stability check; · connections.

ISO 11336-1:2012 specifies technical requirements for glazed openings on large yachts, taking into account navigation conditions, and the location of the opening. Large yachts are yachts with length of the hull, LH, higher or equal to 24 m, in use for sport or pleasure and commercial operations, with a tonnage limitation up to 3 000 gross tonnage, according to the International Tonnage Convention. The opening and the associated closing appliances considered in ISO 11336-1:2012 are only those that are above the deepest waterline (dsw) and are critical for the ship integrity related to weathertightness and watertightness, i.e. those that could lead to ingress of water in the hull in case of rupture of the pane. The scope of ISO 11336-1:2012 is related to and limited to independent glazed openings.

This International Standard specifies technical requirements for the measurement and assessment of the visual appearance of the superficial coating of large yachts in terms of gloss, colour and any other superficial defects. This International Standard is applicable to large yachts, of length, LH, as defined in ISO 8666, higher than or equal to 24 m, and in use for sport or pleasure and commercial operations. It describes the technical properties within which the final finish is to be evaluated before its acceptance.
