BATTERY CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS

Solas Chapter IV, Regulation 13 states the requirements for the reserve source of energy, e.g. battery and ch
For calculation of the battery capacity please refer to the relevant paragraphs of ‘Regulation 13’ listed below:

A reserve source or sources of energy shall be provided on every ship, to supply radio installations, for the pu
of conducting distress and safety radio communications, in the event of failure of the ship’s main and emer
sources of electrical power.
The reserve source or sources of energy shall be capable of simultaneously operating the VHF radio insta
required by regulation 7.1.1. and, as appropriate for the sea area or sea areas for which the ship is equipped,
the MF radio installation required by regulation 9.1.1, the MF/HF radio installation required by regulation 10.
11.1, or the Inmarsat ship earth station required by regulation 10.1.1 and any of the additional loads mention
paragraphs 4, 5, and 8 for a period of at least:

1) One (1) hour, on ships constructed after 1 February 1995, if the emergency source of electrical power com
fully with all relevant requirements of regulation II-1/42 or 43 including the requirements to supply the
installations.

2) Six (6) hours, on ships constructed before 1 February, 1995, if the emergency source of electrical power
provided or does not comply fully with all relevant requirements of regulation II-1/42 or 43 including the require
to supply the radio installations: *)

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

*) For guidance, the following formula is recommended for determining the electrical load to be supplied b
reserve source of energy for each radio installation required for distress conditions:
O 1/2 of the current consumption necessary for transmission
O + the current consumption necessary for reception
O + current consumption of any additional loads.

NOTE: Regulation 13 may be subject to interpretation, resulting in local deviations from the battery ca
calculations described in the following.

For an A3 solution Regulation 13 means that the following equipment shall be supplied from the battery d
emergency operation at
O VHF with DSC
O MF/HF with DSC and Radio Telex
O Inmarsat C
O Emergency light
O VHF with DSC for duplication

For vessels with emergency power generator complying with regulation II -1/42 or 43 the emergency battery sh
capable of supplying the mentioned equipment for 1 hour.

This means:
· Emergency generator above deck
· Emergency generator with auto start within 15 sec.
· Fuel capacity to continously run for min. 6 hours

For vessels not fulfilling above requirements for emergency generator:


· 6 hours battery operation capacity is required.

Comsar Circ.16 and Circ.32


For guidance, the nominal battery capacity to comply with the minimum capacity requirements at all times is 1.4 times th
determined in paragraph 2.4 multiplied by the intended period of operation (1 hour or 6 hours in accordance with S
IV/13.2).

CALCULATION OF THE BATTERY CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS

Insert the number of each specific equipment comprising the GMDSS configuration in the first column.
Result is calculated according to the IMO guidelines for load calculation and will is stated in the far right column
All load calculations are then summed and Battery capacity requirement for 1 hour and 6 hours calculated.

For vessels with approved emergency generator:

Total consumption is multiplied by a factor 2 according to battery manufacturers statement of available b


capacity roughly being only half at 1 hour discharge rate.

For vessels without approved emergency generator:

Total consumption is multiplied by a factor 1.25 according to battery manufacturers statement of available b
capacity being roughly 80% at 6 hours discharge rate.
