[ Note by the compilor of this volume：

Reference is made to the following MSC/Circ.583： PROPOSED AMENDMENTSTO SOLAS REGULATIONS IV/13.2.1 to 13.2.3 Recommendation on reserve sourceof energy

1 At its sixtieth session （6 to 10 April 1992）， the Maritime SafetyCommittee approved， with a view to their adoption at its sixty-firstsession， proposed amendments to SOLAS Regulations IV/13.2.1 to 13.2.3，given at annex， being of the opinion that these were unintentionaloversights when the Organization was preparing and adopting the 1988 SOLASAmendments for the GMDSS.

2 Pending adoption of the proposed amendments， the Committeerecommended that Member Governments require cargo ships between 300 and500 tons gross tonnage， to which the amendments apply， to be provided witha reserve source of energy capable of providing for the operation of theequipment required by Regulation IV/13.2 for a period of at least sixhours.

ANNEX

Replace the existing text of paragraphs 2.1 to 2.3 by：

“。1 one hour on ships provided with an emergency source ofelectrical power， if such source of power complies fully with all relevantprovisions of Regulation II-1/42 or 43， including the supply of such powerto the radio installations； and

。2 six hours on ships not provided with an emergency source ofelectrical power complying fully with all relevant provisions ofRegulation II-1/42 or 43， including the supply of such power to the radioinstallations.“] ——

。2 one hour， on ships constructed before 1 February 1995， if theemergency source of electrical power complies fully with all relevantrequirements of regulation II-1/42 or 43 including the requirements tosupply the radio installation； and

[ For guidance， the following formula is recommended for determiningthe electrical load to be supplied by the reserve source of energy foreach radio installation required for distress conditions： 1/2 of thecurrent consumption necessary for transmission + the current consumptionnecessary for reception + current consumption of any additional loads.]

。3 six hours， on ships constructed before 1 February 1995， if theemergency source of electrical power is not provided or does not complyfully with all relevant requirements of regulation II-1/42 or 43 includingthe requirements to supply the radio installations.

[ For guidance， the following formula is recommended for determiningthe electrical load to be supplied by the reserve source of energy foreach radio installation required for distress conditions： 1/2 of thecurrent consumption necessary for transmission + the current consumptionnecessary for reception + current consumption of any additional loads.]

The reserve source or sources of energy need not supply independent HFand MF radio installations at the same time.

3 The reserve source or sources of energy shall be independent of thepropelling power of the ship and the ship's electrical system.

4 Where， in addition to the VHF radio installation， two or more of theother radio installations， referred to in paragraph 2， can be connectedto the reserve source or sources of energy， they shall be capable ofsimultaneously supplying， for the period specified as appropriate， inparagraph 2.1， 2.2 or 2.3， the VHF radio installation and：

。1 all other radio installations which can be connected to thereserve source or sources of energy at the same time； or

。2 whichever of the other radio installations will consume themost power， if only one of the other radio installations can be connectedto the reserve source or sources of energy at the same time as the VHFradio installation.

5 The reserve source or sources of energy may be used to supply theelectrical lighting required by regulation 6.2.4.

6 Where a reserve source of energy consists of a rechargeableaccumulator battery or batteries：

。1 a means of automatically charging such batteries shall beprovided which shall be capable of recharging them to minimum capacityrequirements within 10 hours； and

。2 the capacity of the battery or batteries shall be checked，using an appropriate method， at intervals not exceeding 12 months，when the ship is not at sea.

[ One method of checking the capacity of an accumulator battery isto fully discharge and recharge the battery， using normal operatingcurrent and period （e.g. 10 hours）。 Assessment of the charge condition canbe made at any time， but it should be done without significant dischargeof the battery when the ship is at sea.]

7 The siting and installation of accumulator batteries which provide areserve source of energy shall be such as to ensure：

。1 the highest degree of service；

。2 a reasonable lifetime；

。3 reasonable safety；

。4 that battery temperatures remain within the manufacturer'sspecifications whether under charge or idle； and

。5 that when fully charged， the batteries will provide at leastthe minimum required hours of operation under all weather conditions.

8 If an uninterrupted input of information from the ship'snavigational or other equipment to a radio installation required by thischapter is needed to ensure its proper performance， means shall beprovided to ensure the continuous supply of such information in the eventof failure of the ship's main or emergency source of electrical power.
