Simplified Scantlings Calculator Method


T


he International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) supported by the International


Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) has launched a scantlings calculator which uses a series of easy‐to‐use spreadsheets in order to provide a calculation method to help and encourage builders to comply with ISO (Small Craſt) Scantling standard 12215 Part 5. Particularly


used for the EU


Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) compliance, builders face a number of challenges when self‐assessing scantlings for craft of hull length less than 12‐ meters in all design categories.


to comply with RCD requirements, builders use the ‘Harmonised Standard’ which provides the ‘Presumption of Conformity’, however the complex nature of these documents oſten force them into to hiring a consultant or seeking a way to bypass the proof of compliance with the RCD. In response to these issues, ICOMIA’s


Technical Committee initiated a study (sponsored by IMCI), and upon approval from ISO, commissioned Southampton Solent University to develop a series of Excel spreadsheets designed to be used in conjunction with the ISO standard and specifically for use by self‐certifying builders for whom 12215 Part 5 may be too daunting or time consuming. Te ‘Scantlings Calculator’ can be accessed for free to legitimate owners of Part 5 at www.icomia.com


THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH


No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned … A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.


Samuel Johnson 1759
