REGULATIONS
ES-TRINArticle 13.02 - Other equipment
1. At least the following equipment in accordance with the applicable navigational authority regulations in force in one of the Member States shall be onboard:
a) radio-telephone equipment;
b) appliances and devices necessary for emitting visual and acoustic signals and for marking the vessel;
c) stand-alone back-up lights for the prescribed mooring lights.
2. The following receptacles must also be present:
a) a marked receptacle for domestic waste;
b) separate, marked receptacles, with sealing covers, made of steel or another sturdy, nonflammable material, of adequate size but holding at least 10 litres, for the collection of
aa) oily cleaning cloths;
bb) hazardous or pollutant solid wastes;
cc) hazardous or pollutant liquid wastes;
and, inasmuch as they may arise, for the collection of
dd) slops;
ee) other oily or greasy waste.
3. In addition, the equipment shall include at least:
a) mooring cables:
Vessels shall be equipped with three mooring cables. Their minimum lengths shall be at least the following:
first cable: shiplength + 20 metres, but not more than 100 metres,
second cable: 2/3 of the first cable,
third cable: 1/3 of the first cable.
The shortest cable is not required on board vessels whose shiplength is less than 20 m.
The cables shall have a breaking load (Rs) that is calculated using the following formulae;
Length x beam x depth = LxBxD
For LxBxD up to 1000 m³:
Rs= 60 + LxBxD = kilo Newtons
-----------------------------------------------
10
For LxBxD greater than 1000 m³:
Rs= 150 + LxBxD = kilo Newtons
-------------------------------------------------
100
1 kilo Newton x 102 = kilogrammes
1 kilogramme / 102 = kilo Newtons
For the required cables a certificate in accordance with European Standard EN 10204 : 2004, under No 3.1, shall be on board.
These cables may be replaced by ropes having the same length and breaking load.
The minimum breaking load of these ropes shall be indicated in a certificate.
b) towing cables;
Tugs shall be equipped with a number of cables that are suitable for their operation.
However, the main cable shall be at least 100 m long and have a breaking load, in kN, not less than one third of the total power, in kW, of the main engine(s).
Motor vessels and pushers that are also able to tow shall be equipped with a towing cable that is at least 100 m long and whose breaking load, in kN, is not less than one quarter of the total power, in kW, of the main engine(s).
c) a heaving line;
d) a boarding gangway at least 0,40 m wide and 4 m long whose side edges are defined by a brightly-coloured strip; that gangway shall be equipped with a handrail. The inspection body may permit shorter gangways for small vessels;
e) a gaff hook;
f) an appropriate first-aid kit with a content in accordance with a relevant standard of a Member State. The first-aid kit shall be kept in an accommodation room or in the wheelhouse and be stored in such a way that it is easily and safely accessible if necessary. If first-aid kits are stored under cover, the cover shall be marked by a symbol for first-aid kit according to Figure 8 of Annex 4, having a side length of at least 10 cm;
g) a pair of binoculars, 7 x 50 or with larger lens diameter;
h) a notice concerning the rescue and revival of persons overboard;
i) a searchlight that can be operated from the wheelhouse.
4. There shall be an embarkation stairway or ladder on vessels whose side height above the unladen waterline exceeds 1,50 m.
