To eliminate the water leakage of the hull and various damages, the ships are supplied with emergency equipment and materials.
The name and minimum number of emergency equipment are established by the Register of the Russian Federation, depending on the length and purpose of the vessel. The composition of emergency supplies includes: patches with rigging and equipment, metalwork and rigging tools, clamps, bolts, stops, staples, nuts, nails, canvas, felt, tow, cement, sand, wooden beams, wedges, corks, etc. passenger ships and special-purpose ships of 70 m or more in length, as well as on fiberglass ships, the Rules of the Register of the Russian Federation provide for additional supply. All modern large-tonnage ships, in addition, usually have light diving equipment and electric welding equipment.
All specified supplies should be stored at emergency posts: in special rooms or in boxes. There must be at least two such posts on the ship, and one of them must be in the engine room (on ships with a length of 31 m or less, it is allowed to store emergency supplies at only one emergency post. Emergency posts should have clear inscriptions " emergency post. In addition, in the aisles and on the decks, signs of the location of emergency posts should be provided.
Emergency equipment that has a special marking is allowed to be used only for its intended purpose: in the fight against water, as well as during drills and exercises. The emergency property used up or out of order in this case must be written off according to the act and, as soon as possible, replenished to the norm.
At least once a month, the commanders of emergency parties (groups) with the participation of the boatswain must check the availability and serviceability of emergency equipment. The results of the inspection are reported to the chief mate. A similar check of emergency equipment (simultaneously with the check of fire-fighting equipment and rescue equipment) is carried out once every 3 months by a senior assistant. What he reports to the captain and takes measures to eliminate the shortcomings. All this is recorded in the ship's log.
Maneuvering a damaged ship
If a ship has received any damage on the high seas, skillful maneuvering is an important condition for preventing its sinking. As a result of damage, the ship can get a large roll, surface holes near the waterline, and as a result, as a rule, its stability decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid, especially at high speed, sharp rudder shifts that cause additional heeling moments.
If the damaged ship has a significant heel that cannot be reduced, then the master must maneuver so that, in order to avoid capsizing, the raised side of the ship is not to windward, especially when the wind reaches gale force or has a squally character. In stormy weather, by changing the speed and course relative to the wave, one can significantly reduce the pitching amplitude, avoid resonance, as well as a possible loss of stability in a tail wave, which is most likely at wavelengths close to the length of the vessel.
If the damage sustained by the ship during the voyage is so great that the ship's crew cannot cope with the incoming water, it is most reasonable to run the ship aground. If possible, you need to choose a bank that has a gentle slope, sandy or other similar soil without stones. It is also desirable that there are no strong currents in the landing area. In general, it is better to run aground anywhere (if it does not threaten the obvious loss of the vessel) than to attempt to reach a suitable shore and expose the vessel to the risk of sinking at great depths.
In order for the ship not to receive new damage from hitting the ground in stormy weather, it must be secured aground, for example, by bringing in anchors or additional flooding of the compartments.
When all the damage is repaired, they begin to pump out water from the flooded compartments. First of all, water must be completely removed from the compartments that have the greatest width. If this recommendation is neglected, during the ascent of the vessel, its stability may again deteriorate due to the presence of free surfaces.
Ship emergency property
To eliminate the water leakage of the hull and various damages, the ships are supplied with emergency equipment and materials. The name and minimum number of emergency equipment are established by the Register of the Russian Federation, depending on the length and purpose of the vessel.
The composition of emergency supplies includes: patches with rigging and equipment, metalwork and rigging tools, clamps, bolts, stops, staples, nuts, nails, canvas, felt, tow, cement, sand, wooden beams, wedges, corks, etc.
On passenger ships and special purpose ships of 70 m or more in length, as well as on fiberglass ships, the Rules of the Register of the Russian Federation provide for additional supply. All modern large-tonnage ships, in addition, usually have light diving equipment and electric welding equipment.
Emergency supplies, except for diving equipment and plasters, must be painted with blue paint: wooden products - completely; bars - from the ends and at the ends (on a length of 100 - 150 mm); metal objects - on non-working surfaces: plaster covers, mats, coils of wire - in transverse stripes.
Containers for storing emergency supplies should also be painted blue (either in full or in a stripe) and clearly inscribed with the name of the material, its weight and allowable shelf life.
All specified supplies should be stored at emergency posts: in special rooms or in boxes. There must be at least two such posts on the ship, and one of them must be in the engine room (on ships with a length of 31 m or less, storage of emergency supplies is allowed only at one emergency post.
Emergency posts should have clear inscriptions "Emergency post". In addition, in the aisles and on the decks, signs of the location of emergency posts should be provided.
emergency property, which has a special marking, is allowed to be used only for its intended purpose: in the fight against water, as well as during drills and exercises. The emergency property used up or out of order in this case must be written off according to the act and, as soon as possible, replenished to the norm.
At least once a month, the commanders of emergency parties (groups) with the participation of the boatswain must check the availability and serviceability of emergency equipment. The results of the inspection are reported to the chief mate.
A similar check of emergency equipment (simultaneously with the check of fire-fighting equipment and rescue equipment) is carried out once every 3 months by a senior assistant. What he reports to the captain and takes measures to eliminate the shortcomings. All this is recorded in the ship's log.
They are the main means of temporary sealing of holes; they can take the form of hull lines anywhere on the ship. Four types of soft plasters are used on sea vessels: chain mail, lightweight, stuffed and training.
Plasters are made of waterproof impregnated canvas or other equivalent fabric; along the edge they are sheathed with lyktros (vegetable or synthetic) with four thimbles in the corners.
Sheets and braces of chain mail patches are made from flexible steel cables, control pins are made from vegetable cables, and the tail ends for all patches are made from flexible steel cables or chains of the appropriate caliber.
Sheets and liners must have a length sufficient to cover half of the ship's hull amidships and fastening on the upper deck, provided they are spaced from the vertical at an angle of 45
Control pin, designed to facilitate the installation of a patch on a hole, has, like a lotlin, a breakdown every 0.5 m, counting from the center of the patch. The length of the control line should be approximately equal to the length of the sheet.
Guys, provided for chain mail and lightweight patches, serve as auxiliary gear, contributing to a tighter fit of the patch to the hole. The length of each guy must be at least half the length of the vessel. The most durable of all soft plasters is chain mail.
Plasters on a hole start as follows. Previously, using the numbering of the frames, mark the boundaries of the hole with chalk on the deck. Then a patch with equipment is brought to the place of work. At the same time, they start winding the tail ends. At this point, the ship should not be moving.
Depending on the location of the hole along the length of the vessel, the keel ends are brought in from the bow or stern and placed on both sides of the hole.
If the keel ends are brought in from the stern, weights attached to them should be used, which will allow the keel line to be passed cleanly without touching the propellers and the rudder.
With the help of staples, the keel ends are attached to the lower corners of the patch, and sheets and a control rod are attached to its upper luff. Then, on the opposite side, hoists or winches begin to select the tail ends, while easing the sheets until the control rod shows that the patch is lowered to a predetermined depth.
Sheets and keel ends stretched at the right angle and selected tightly are attached to bollards or ducks. Adhesion of the plaster to the damaged area is considered satisfactory if the ship's drainage facilities are able to remove water from the flooded compartment.
Soft plaster allows you to quickly perform temporary sealing of cracks and small holes on ships, but it has a number of disadvantages:
does not have the necessary strength;
does not allow to start it without the participation of a diver in cases where the hole is located near the zygomatic keel or has torn, outwardly bent edges;
may be torn off while the vessel is in motion.
For large holes(more than 0.5 m2), as the damaged compartment is drained under sea water pressure, the patch will be drawn into the hole.
In this case, before winding the patch, one has to resort to winding several steel tail ends running along the hull through the hole.
These ends, called false frames, are fitted on deck with turnbuckles; they play the role of a frame that prevents the patch from being drawn into the body.
2.4 Means of combating water on board ships
To eliminate the water leakage of the hull and various damages, the ships are supplied with emergency equipment and materials.
The name and minimum number of emergency equipment are established by the Register of the Russian Federation, depending on the length and purpose of the vessel. The emergency equipment includes: patches with rigging and equipment, metalwork and rigging tools, clamps, bolts, stops, staples, nuts, nails, canvas, felt, tow, cement, sand, wooden beams, wedges, corks, etc. ships and special-purpose ships with a length of 70 m or more, as well as on fiberglass ships, the Rules of the Register of the Russian Federation provide for additional supply.

THE FIGHT FOR THE UNSinkability of a SHIP (SHIP)
Success in the struggle for unsinkability depends on the skillful combination of crew management with independent and decisive actions of the team to restore stability and straighten the ship.
Actions to fight for unsinkability.
Priority actions of the crew of the emergency ship.
When detecting the ingress of water into the compartments of the vessel, it is necessary:
1. Declare a general ship's alarm, notify the crew and passengers about the ingress of water into the vessel.
2. Give a signal and report on the accident.
3. Batten down all watertight bulkheads, hatches, doors, necks and portholes on the ship. Close the clinkets and valves of all outboard openings in the area of water inflow.
4. Conduct reconnaissance. Determine the location, level, salinity, cause of water ingress, the scale and nature of the destruction of the hull (ship systems), establish the boundaries of the vessel's flooding, and the state of watertight closures. Start the tail end and examine the underwater part of the hull by divers (well-trained divers). In the absence of identified damage, analyze the possibility of water ingress through regular outboard openings and pipelines, primarily those recently repaired or used.
5. Eliminate the cause of water ingress. If this is not possible (the compartment quickly fills with water or is completely flooded), seal the compartment, support weak watertight bulkheads, doors, hatches of the flooded room from adjacent compartments with stops and establish control over possible water filtration.
6. Check the closure of all pipelines of the ship's systems, especially carefully, passing through the flooded premises, since water spreads through them to all compartments of the ship.
7. Immediately remove the incoming water (drain into the compartments below), eliminate leaks.
8. Lower the diver to determine the location, size, depth of a possible hole (crack) in the ship's hull and seal them with ship's means.
9. Cut off the supply of electricity, steam and fuel to the flooded technical equipment that is not adapted to work under water.
10. Determine, on the basis of intelligence data and the "Documentation on unsinkability", the most threatened direction of the spread of water and focus on the fight against it the main efforts, creating two or three lines of defense.
11. Put into operation the drying and ballast systems of the vessel, restore the stability of the vessel and carry out its straightening in accordance with the "Documentation on unsinkability", carefully controlling the consumption of the buoyancy reserve.
12. Provide coverage of places of struggle for unsinkability and organize reliable communication with groups at the defense lines.
13. Determine the place of landing of the vessel on the nearest shallow.
14. Fight with water until the reserve of buoyancy is completely used up (landing the vessel on a shallow).
15. Upon receiving a report about the exit of rescuers, establish contact with them and issue them detailed information on the state of the ship, the course of the struggle for unsinkability, the necessary assistance. Transmit by facsimile or electronic means of communication the scheme of the vessel, basic data on dimension, landing and stability. Prepare the required number of "guides" who know the structure of the ship well to ensure the actions of the rescue teams of the rescuer.
16. Determine with the owner and the rescuer the leader of the rescue operations or take over the leadership. With the arrival of the rescuer, enter under the command of the head of rescue operations, evacuate to the rescuer the wounded (dead) people, passengers and crew members who are not engaged in the struggle for unsinkability.
17. After the landing of the rescue team:
. transfer the "guides" to the disposal of the rescue team;
. assign tasks to the commander of the rescue group and control their execution;
. accept additional funds from the rescuer, fight against water and, if necessary, electricity and other types of assistance in accordance with the DECISION to save the ship;
. step up efforts to fight for unsinkability at the expense of the forces and means of the landed rescue group and the rescuer until the danger of the ship sinking or landing on the shallows is completely eliminated.
Rescue vessel priority
when rendering assistance to an emergency ship
in the fight for invincibility.
Rescuer actions:
1. Upon receipt of a signal (instruction), proceed to the emergency vessel at the maximum possible speed and prepare to render assistance to it;
2. Establishes communication with the emergency ship, the owner and other ships (forces) involved in rescue operations. Clarifies the situation. Reports the capabilities of his rescuer and the estimated time of arrival. Determines the leader of the rescue operations, enters under his leadership, in the absence of such, in agreement with the above-mentioned persons, leads the work, but not before arriving at the scene of action.
3. Puts the received information on the map of the accident area and the scheme of the emergency vessel (in the absence of the scheme of the emergency vessel, requests it by electronic or facsimile means or draws on the basis of the information received). Requests or makes a calculation of the landing and stability of a damaged vessel.
4. Makes a DECISION to render assistance to the emergency vessel in the struggle for unsinkability, reports it to the head of rescue operations and, after its approval, gives an order for actions to the commander of the rescue group and the entire rescue crew.
5. Prepares and checks in operation all stationary and portable means of drainage, sealing holes, clearing blockages, supplying electricity, etc.
6. Determines the evacuation routes to the rescuer of passengers, members of the crew of the emergency ship not participating in the struggle for floodability and the ways of disembarking the rescue group so that they do not intersect, marks them with signs (ribbons with inscriptions, tables, arrows, etc.).
7. Determines the place of possible landing of the emergency ship on the shallows and makes calculations for its towing to this point.
8. Approaches an emergency ship from the lee side, if this is not possible due to circumstances and the state of the sea permits, from the windward side, bow or stern.
9. If the approach to the emergency ship is not possible, he disembarks a rescue group on ship boats, equips cable car and with its help transfers additional forces and means of struggle for unsinkability.
10. Having moored to the emergency vessel:
. accepts on board the rescuer the wounded (dead) people, passengers and crew members who are not participating in the struggle for unsinkability;
. boards a rescue group on a ship in distress, unloads additional means of drainage, sealing holes, clearing rubble;
. equips the hoses of the stationary drainage system and proceeds to pump out water from the flooded compartments of the emergency ship;
. supplies, if necessary, electricity and other types of assistance to the emergency ship;
. measures the extent of damage to the underwater part of the hull of the emergency ship and proceeds to the formulation or manufacture of a plaster;
. proceeds to restore the impermeability of decks, sides, bulkheads;
. reports on his actions to the head of rescue operations, keeps a log of actions, the situation on the diagram of the emergency ship and the rescuer moored to it, registers negotiations with the participants in the struggle for unsinkability and management, orders received on a tape recorder or other means of recording events.
11. If the decision is made by the head of the rescue operations to land the ship on the shallows, he leaves the rescue team on the emergency ship, starts the tugboat, starts towing and, if the state of the sea allows, equips the cable car for receiving and transferring cargo and a cable to provide the ship with electricity.
12. If it is decided to use steel ship-lifting pontoons to keep the emergency ship afloat, and they are delivered to the area of rescue operations, start them.
13. The commander of the rescue group, having landed on the emergency ship:
. assigns "guides" to the departments of the group;
. arrives at the command post, reports on the landing of the rescue group and is placed at the disposal of the head of rescue operations;
receives the situation and issues orders to squad commanders for actions to fight for floodability, conduct diving reconnaissance, put on patches, pump out and bypass water, clear debris, etc. in accordance with the rescue plan and orders of the leadership.
