The relevant input and output data of the approved test condition shall been replicated.ĭuring the test relevant warnings should be checked, which should include max draught, strength limits and stability limits. Revise the above modified load condition to restore the initial test condition and compare the results. The results shall be reviewed to ensure that they differ in a logical way from those of the approved test condition. Retrieve the test load case and start a calculation run compare stability results with those in the documentation.Ĭhange several items of deadweight (tank weights and the cargo weight) sufficiently to change the draught or displacement by at least 10%. If numerical output from the loading computer system is at significant variance with the approved test conditions, a certificate cannot be issued.ĭuring the tests, at least one of the test conditions shall be built up from scratch, to ensure that the loading methods function properly.Īs an alternative to 203 can the following procedure be followed: Procedure for Certification:- The approved test conditions shall be tested on the loading computer system in presence of a surveyor from the Society, before the loading computer certificate is issued.ĭuring the test, the loading conditions calculated on the installed loading computer system shall be verified to be identical to the approved test conditions. The procedure of testing is same as the quarterly testing but in here the class surveyor would ask for the print out of the test condition and he would stamp it and give it to the ship for ship’s records. The important point to note is that the data need to be manually entered and not opened from a pre-saved file as it is not acceptable to classification society as well as OCIMF to simply retrieve a stored test condition and comparing it with approved test condition.Īnnual testing of Loadicator in presence of Class: During annual class surveys, loadicator need to be tested for its accuracy in presence of a class surveyor. The test procedure includes choosing a text condition from the approved test conditions, entering the exact same data in the loadicator and comparing the results with the approved test conditions. Testing by ship staff: The Loadicator is required to be tested periodically (interval to be as per SMS of the vessel) by ship staff for its accuracy.
