Means of Access for Enclosed Spaces Guidance for Marine Professionals Руководство по средствам доступа в закрытые помещения для морских специалистов

Издание на английском языке
The book provides a comprehensive guide to the requirements and interpretation of access arrangements on seagoing vessels in accordance with IMO and MSC international standards. It covers general provisions, terminology, and notations, including the expanded PMA+ system. It focuses on the specific requirements for access arrangements for various vessel types—oil tankers and bulk carriers—with an analysis of design, safety, and ergonomics. It covers in detail the design of walkways, ramps, work platforms, vertical and inclined ladders, and safety features such as fall arrest devices. Special attention is given to the design of hatches and alternative means of access, including portable ladders, hydraulic platforms, structures for working at height, and the use of remotely operated vehicles. This book serves as a comprehensive reference for designers, classification societies, and specialists ensuring the safety and ease of maintenance of ships.
