Bit more information,
Why I’m looking for this: Has to do with a potential research paper I will be doing for school. (Im studying to be a Naval Architect)
On the vessel itself, the problem is coming up with a theoretical ice breaker that will have large hallways in order to allow access of pallet jacks to move various materials from inside and outside of the ship.
The owner of the icebreaker wants to be able to use the pallet jack route while techincally at sea but stopped in ice to collect scientific data.
The doors are in the aft .75L of the vessel on the main deck.
To do this idealy for the pallet jack routes there would be no coamings on the door.
What the challenge really is to get a rule exemption from transport Canada (I go to a Canadian school so my proffessor has asked us to use transport canada as the agency to apply for accemption).
Now I have a better idea of what I am looking for at it would help if I could find any information on any vessels that were able to a door coaming exemption for any reason at all (doesn’t have to be canadian). I have found one example but I am having trouble finding out why they were permitted and what details or any risk calculations that were included in their exemption application.
Again any information or suggestions on where to look would be greatly apprecitaed.
