國際海上人命安全公約 - 第II-1章摘要

The digest of SOLAS Convention Chapter II-1
國際海上人命安全公約 第II-1章摘要

尚作仁船長 翻譯 Translated by Captain David Shang

 

Foreword
前言

The SOLAS Convention Chapter II “Construction” has divided into two parts:
SOLAS公約第二章「構造」(Construction)共分為兩個部分:

The Chapter II-1 “Structure, subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations)”
「結構、艙區劃分和穩度、機器和電力裝置」

The Chapter II-2 “Fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction”
「防火、探火與滅火」

The importance of SOLAS Convention to the safety of ship is without a doubt, but the content of Chapter II-1 “Structure, subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations)” of the Convention is usually very strange for the most seafarers, and misunderstood that the Chapter II-1 is the rule which mainly for the design of ship builder, and it is nothing to do with shipboard daily routing operations, thus ignored to pay attention of the Chapter II-1.
SOLAS公約對於船舶安全的重要性雖然無庸置疑，但是大多數海員對於公約第II-1章「結構、艙區劃分和穩度、機器和電力裝置」的內容卻是相當的陌生，並且誤認為第II-1章主要是造船設計需要遵守的規範，對於一般海員在船上的日常操作上沒有太多的關聯性，以至於忽略了第II-1章的重要性。

However, the Chapter II-1 “Structure, subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations)” is all the bases of ship safety. The ship granted the “Safety Construction” certificate is to mean that the ship’s design and building are fully complying with the requirement of the SOLAS Convention Chapter II-1. But keeping ship’s condition to comply with the Chapter II-1 requirement later on long business period after ship delivered is seafarers’ duty. Thus if seafarers are not familiar with the content of the SOLAS Convention Chapter II-1, how could they be able to ensure the safety of ship’s “Construction”.
殊不知第II-1章「結構、艙區劃分和穩度、機器和電力裝置」乃是所有船舶安全之基礎，船舶領有「安全構造」證書，代表船舶設計建造符合SOLAS第II-1章的規範，但是海員的職責則是在船舶往後漫長的營運期間，必須隨時保持船舶的狀態能符合第II-1章的要求。因此，如果海員不熟悉SOLAS公約第II-1章的內容，又如何能確保船舶的「構造」安全，

It cannot be denied that the SOLAS Convention Chapter II-1 has some professional knowledge which related with shipbuilder design aspects, and it makes seafarers hard to understand. Indeed, for shipboard daily routing practices, these professional knowledge are not necessary to get it by seafarers. Therefore, in this article, there are not just copying from SOLAS Convention Chapter II-1 completely (otherwise you can read the Convention directly), it is digesting some contents which related with seafarers daily routing operations, in convenience of seafarers can follow the rules to implement check and maintenance work for the sake of ship’s “Construction” safety.
不可諱言的，SOLAS公約第II-1章的確有些造船設計的專業內容，讓海員讀起來難以理解，而在船舶日常實務上也沒必要去完全搞懂它，因此本文並非僅是全盤的將SOLAS公約第II-1章的內容原文照抄(否則直接讀公約即可)，而是將與海員日常作業有關的法規摘要出來，以方便海員能根據法規要求去執行檢查與保養工作，確保船舶「構造」安全。
