3.刚性救生艇容量
3.1 救生艇的容量(单位为立方米)可借助施氏法则计算,其公式如下:
L1
--(4A+2B+4C)
12
式中L1 :救生艇长度,以米计,自首柱处金属或木质艇壳板的内边量至尾柱处艇壳板的内边;方尾救生艇的长度则量至艇尾端板的内边。
A、B、C分别代表将L均分为四等分时距前端1/4长度处、中点及距后端1/4长度处各横截面的面积(救生艇两端的横截面积可省略不计)。
面积A、B、C系对三个横截面依次运用下列公式求得的平方米数:
h
--(a+4b+2c+4d+e)
12
式中h为深度,以米计,自龙骨处木壳板或金属壳板内边量至舷缘平面,或在某些情况下按照以下规定量至一个较低的平面。
a、b、c、d、e表示在深度的最高和最低两点以及将h四等分的三个点处救生艇的水平宽度,以米计。(a和e为h两端处的宽度,c为h的中点处宽度)。
3.2 若在位于距救生艇两端1/4长度处的两点量舷缘的舷弧高度超过艇长的1%时,则计算横截面积A或C的深度应为艇中点深度加1%艇长。
3.3 如救生艇中点的深度超过艇宽的45%,则计算艇中点横截面积B所用的深度应为艇宽的45%,同时在计算长度1/4处横截面积A与C的所用的深度应为横截面积B所用的深度加1%艇长,但计算面积A与C所用的深度无论如何不得超过各该处的实际深度。
3.4 如救生艇型深大于1.22米时,则运用本公约附则第一百一十二条规定本附录适用的人数应按1.22米与实际深度的比例相应减少,直至救生艇深于水面载乘该数目的穿着认可型救生衣的人员漂浮试验满意为止。
3.5 主管机关应以适宜公式对两端甚尖的和体形甚肥的救生艇所准许载乘的人数予以限制。
3.6 若用长、宽、深的积乘以0.6所得的容量数显然不大于用上述方法求得者,则主管机关可用此公式勘定木板制造的救生艇的容量。各项尺度应计算如下:
长度——自艇壳板的外边与首柱相交处量至尾柱的相应一点处,对方尾救生艇则量至艇尾端板的后边。
宽度——在艇的最宽处量自艇壳板的外边。
深度——在艇中点由龙骨处艇壳板的里边量至舷缘的水平面,但计算立方容量时所采用的深度概不得超过宽度的45%。
在一切情况下,船舶所有人有权要求用准确的丈量方法以确定救生艇的立方容量。
3.7 机动救生艇立方容量的求得,应从总容量中减去发动机及其属件所占用的容量;在设有无线电报设备和探照灯及其附件时,则也应减去其所占用的容量。

TORREMOLINOS INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE SAFETY OF FISHING VESSELS, 1977
THE PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION,
DESIRING to promote the safety of ships in general and the safety of
fishing vessels in particular,
BEARING IN MIND the outstanding contribution of the International
Conventions for the Safety of Life at Sea and also the International
Conventions on Load Lines in promoting the safety of ships,
RECOGNIZING that fishing vessels are exempt from almost all the
requirements of those International Conventions,
DESIRING THEREFORE to establish in common agreement uniform principles
and rules concerning the construction and equipment of fishing vessels
directed to the safety of such vessels and their crews,
CONSIDERING that this end may best be achieved by the conclusion of a
Convention,
HAVE AGREED as follows:
ARTICLE 1 General Obligations under the Convention
The Parties shall give effect to the provisions of the Convention and
the Annex thereto, which shall constitute an integral part of the

ARTICLE 4 Certification and Control
(1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2), a certificate issued
under the authority of a Party in accordance with the provisions of the
Convention shall be accepted by the other Parties and regarded for all
Purposes covered by the Convention as having the same validity as a
certificate issued by them.
(2) Every vessel holding a certificate issued under Regulation 7 or 8
is subject, in the ports of other Parties, to control by officers duly
authorized by such Parties in so far as this control is directed towardsverifying that there is on board a valid certificate. Such certificate
shall be accepted unless there are clear grounds for believing that the
condition of the vessel or its equipment does not correspond substantially
with the particulars of that certificate. In that case, or if there is not
a valid certificate, the officer carrying out the control shall forthwith
inform the Consul or, in his absence, the diplomatic representative of
the Party whose flag the vessel is entitled to fly, of all the
circumstances for which corrective action by that Party would be deemed
necessary and the facts shall be reported to the Organization. The officer
carrying out the control shall take such steps as will ensure that the
vessel shall not sail until it can proceed to sea without danger to the
vessel or persons on board.
ARTICLE 5 Force Majeure
(1) A vessel which is not subject to the provisions of the Convention
or which is not required to hold a certificate in accordance with the
provisions of the Convention at the time of its departure on any voyage
shall not become subject to such provisions on account of any deviation
from its intended voyage due to stress of weather or any other cause of
force majeure.
(2) Persons who are on board a vessel by reason of force majeure or in
consequence of the obligation to carry shipwrecked or other persons shall
not be taken into account for the purpose of ascertaining the application
to the vessel of any provisions of the Convention.

(2) The Organization shall notify all Parties of the receipt of any
communication under paragraph (1)(a) and shall circulate to them any
information communicated to it under paragraph (1)(b) and (c).
ARTICLE 7 Casualties to Fishing Vessels
(1) Each Party shall arrange for an investigation of any casualty
occurring to any of its vessels subject to the provisions of the
Convention, when it judges that such an investigation may assist in
determining what changes in the Convention might be desirable.
(2) Each Party shall supply the Organization with pertinent
information concerning the findings of such investigation for circulation
to all Parties. No reports or recommendations of the Organization based
upon such information shall disclose the identity or nationality of the
vessels concerned, or in any manner fix or imply responsibility upon anyvessel or person.

(b) In vessels having rounded gunwales, the depth shall be
measured to the point of intersection of the moulded lines of the deck and
side shell plating, the lines extending as though the gunwale were of
angular design.
(c) Where the working deck is stepped and the raised part of the
deck extends over the point at which the depth is to be determined, the
depth shall be measured to a line of reference extending from the lower
part of the deck along a line parallel with the raised part.
(9) "Deepest operating waterline" is the waterline related to the
maximum permissible operating draught.
(10) "Amidships" is the mid-length of L.
(11) "Midship section" is that section of the hull defined by the
intersection of the moulded surface of the hull with a vertical plane
perpendicular to the waterline and centreline planes passing through
amidships.
(12) "Keel line" is the line parallel to the slope of keel passing
amidships through:
(a) the top of the keel or line of intersection of the inside of
shell plating with the keel where a bar keel extends above that line of a
vessel with a metal shell; or
(b) the rabbet lower line of the keel of a vessel with a shell of
wood or a composite vessel; or
(c) the intersection of a fair extension of the outside of the
shell contour at the bottom with the centreline of a vessel with shell of
material other than wood and metal.
(13) "Baseline" is the horizontal line intersecting at amidships the
keel line.
(14) "Working deck" is generally the lowest complete deck above the
deepest operating waterline from which fishing is undertaken. In vesselsfitted with two or more complete decks, the Administration may accept alower deck as a working deck provided that that deck is situated above the
deepest operating waterline.
(15) "Superstructure" is the decked structure on the working deck
extending from side to side of the vessel or with the side plating not
being inboard of the shell plating more than 0.04 B.
(16) "Enclosed superstructure" is a superstructure with:
(a) enclosing bulkheads of efficient construction;
(b) access openings, if any, in those bulkheads fitted with
permanently attached weathertight doors of a strength equivalent to the
unpierced structure which can be operated from each side; and
(c) other openings in sides or ends of the superstructure fitted
with efficient weathertight means of closing.
A bridge or poop shall not be regarded as enclosed unless access is
provided for the crew to reach machinery and other working spaces insidethose superstructures by alternative means which are available at all
times when bulkhead openings are closed.
(17) "Superstructure deck" is that complete or partial deck forming
the top of a superstructure, deckhouse or other erection situated at a
height of not less than 1.8 metres above the working deck. Where this
height is less than 1.8 metres, the top of such deckhouses or other
erections shall be treated in the same way as the working deck.
(18) "Height of a superstructure or other erection" is the least
vertical distance measured at side from the top of the deck beams of a
superstructure or an erection to the top of the working deck beams.
(19) "Weathertight" means that in any sea conditions water will not
penetrate into the vessel.
(20) "Watertight" means capable of preventing the passage of water
through the structure in any direction under a head of water for which the
surrounding structure is designed.
(21) "Collision bulkhead" is a watertight bulkhead up to the working
deck in the forepart of the vessel which meets the following conditions:
(a) The bulkhead shall be located at a distance from the forward
perpendicular:
(i) not less than 0.05L and not more than 0.08L for vessels of
45 metres in length and over;
(ii) not less than 0.05L and not more than 0.05L plus 1.35
metres for vessels of less than 45 metres in length, except as may be
allowed by the Administration;
(iii) in no case, less than 2.0 metres.
(b) Where any part of the underwater body extends forward of the
forward perpendicular, e.g. a bulbous bow, the distance stipulated in
sub-paragraph (a) shall be measured from a point at mid-length of the
extension forward of the forward perpendicular or from a point 0.015L
forward of the forward perpendicular, whichever is less.
(c) The bulkhead may have steps or recesses provided they are
within the limits prescribed in sub-paragraph (a).
(22) "Main steering gear" is the machinery, the steering gear power
units, if any, and ancillary equipment and the means of applying torque to
the rudder stock (e. g. tiller or quadrant) necessary for effecting
movement of the rudder for the purpose of steering the vessel under normal
service conditions.
(23) "Auxiliary means of activating the rudder" is the equipment which
is provided for effecting movement of the rudder for the purpose of
steering the vessel in the event of failure of the main steering gear.
(24) "Steering gear power unit" means in the case of:
(a) electric steering gear, an electric motor and its associated
electrical equipment;
(b) electro-hydraulic steering gear, an electric motor and its
associated electrical equipment and connected pump; and
(c) other hydraulic steering gear, a driving engine and connected
pump.
(25) "Maximum ahead service speed" is the greatest speed which the
vessel is designed to maintain in service at sea at its maximum
permissible operating draught.
(26) "Maximum astern speed" is the speed which it is estimated the
vessel can attain at the designed maximum astern power at its maximum
permissible operating draught.
(27) "Fuel oil unit" is the equipment used for the preparation of fuel
