What are the anti-collision measures for water intake pump ships?

If the water pump vessel is docked in a reservoir, without rapid flow, major floods, and low water flow speed areas, the requirements for anti collision and anti collision of the pump vessel are not very high in such working conditions. However, our company still adheres to high standards and improves the anti-collision and collision prevention of pump ships by adopting the following measures.


1. Reasonably arrange the watertight compartments of the ship's hull

This ship is equipped with a total of 12 independent watertight compartments, which can ensure that after any of them enters the water, the pump ship does not sink and can still continue to supply water normally.


2. When our company designs the hull, double layer steel fenders will be installed on the top row of the side plates around the hull. The distance between the upper and lower fenders is 800mm, and the distance between the vertical and lower fenders is 2.5m; In addition, arc-shaped anti-collision beams are installed at the bow of the ship.


3. To further strengthen the collision protection function of the ship's hull, our company adopts hanging collision resistant tires around the hull, and the spacing between collision resistant tires is arranged every 4 meters.


4. Set up warning mast lights on the top deck, with three colors of white, green, and red. Turn on the incandescent lights at night to notify passing ships that there are barge facilities here and not to drive close.


Our company adopts the above measures to achieve anti collision and anti collision of pump ships.
