Dispatch Pattern, Testing, Spares and Tools

Painting of Main Engine

The painting specification, Section 19.02, indi-
cates the minimum requirements regarding the
quality and the dry film thickness of the coats of,
as well as the standard colours applied on MAN
B&W engines built in accordance with the 'Co-
penhagen' standard.
Paints according to builder's standard may be
used provided they at least fulfil the requirements
stated.
Dispatch Pattern
The dispatch patterns are divided into two class-
es, see Section 19.03:
A: Short distance transportation and short term
storage
B: Overseas or long distance transportation or
long term storage.
Short distance transportation (A) is limited by a
duration of a few days from delivery ex works until
installation, or a distance of approximately 1,000
km and short term storage.
The duration from engine delivery until installation
must not exceed 8 weeks.
Dismantling of the engine is limited as much as
possible.
Overseas or long distance transportation or
long term storage require a class B dispatch pat-
tern.
The duration from engine delivery until installation
is assumed to be between 8 weeks and maximum
6 months.
Dismantling is effected to a certain degree with
the aim of reducing the transportation volume of
the individual units to a suitable extent.

Note:
Long term preservation and seaworthy packing
are always to be used for class B.
Furthermore, the dispatch patterns are divided
into several degrees of dismantling in which '1'
comprises the complete or almost complete en-
gine. Other degrees of dismantling can be agreed
upon in each case.
When determining the degree of dismantling,
consideration should be given to the lifting ca-
pacities and number of crane hooks available at
the engine maker and, in particular, at the yard
(purchaser).
The approximate masses of the sections appear
in Section 19.04. The masses can vary up to 10%
depending on the design and options chosen.
Lifting tools and lifting instructions are required for all
levels of dispatch pattern. The lifting tools (4 12 110
or 4 12 111), are to be specified when ordering and it
should be agreed whether the tools are to be returned
to the engine maker (4 12 120) or not (4 12 121).
MAN Diesel's recommendations for preservation
of disassembled/ assembled engines are avail-
able on request.
Furthermore, it must be considered whether a
drying machine, option 4 12 601, is to be installed
during the transportation and/or storage period.

Shop trials/Delivery Test

Before leaving the engine maker's works, the en-
gine is to be carefully tested on diesel oil in the
presence of representatives of the yard, the ship-
owner and the classification society.
The shop trial test is to be carried out in accor-
dance with the requirements of the relevant clas-
sification society, however a minimum as stated in
Section 19.05.
