These trawlers are designed in accordance
with Lloyds for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which
is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the
CE-A require. Complete stability calculations to USCG offshore
requirements are included in the design package. All calculations are also
cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets
world-wide standards and specifications.
In the case of KITS, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and
superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are
marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking
lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position.
Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth
edges.
Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade
Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma
weld MC welding primer. We use and recommend steel plate that has the
official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B
certificate.
