Nautical Drawings

1.1. Essentials

1.1.1. Architectural

Called the GENERAL ARRANGEMENT PLAN, these are the first drawings that are prepared to
design a vessel, as they are the ones that effectively characterize the vessel, describing
its external features, such as the shapes and quantities of hull and superstructures, decks,
arrangement of internal spaces regarding equipment installations, storage of loads and
consumables, housing, access and circulation, with maximum possible detail. Examples:

1.1.2. Geometric (or Shapes)

Called the LINES PLAN, these are the drawings that characterize the geometry of the hull of
a vessel, especially the shape of the living works. The main document is the Lines Plan,
complemented by the Quota Table.

The function of the Line Plan is to allow the adjustment of the shapes of a three-dimensional surface under the
point of view of floating and/or of a flow in a fluid medium. It also has the function of
to enable the calculation of the geometric characteristics of this three-dimensional surface, such as area,
volume and the respective positions of the centers of gravity.
In the case of a vessel's hull, in addition to the geometric characteristics, it is also determined.
the hydrostatic characteristics, such as the position of the Metacenter, Flotation Area, and its position
geometric center, Moment to Trim a Unit and others.
In construction, it is the Lines Plan that begins the modeling of the hull, through the Table of Quotations.
which consists of several spreadsheets containing the coordinates of the characteristic points of the hull,
in the 3 orthogonal reference directions. Examples:

1.1.3. Technical Data

They are drawings that present specific information about a vessel's system, being the
main:

[Link]. SAFETY PLAN

The presentation of the Safety Plan is mandatory for manned vessels, whether or not
passengers. This plan presents the spaces, arrangement, quantity, and types of

equipment and facilities related to human life safety. The Safety Plan is
similar to the General Arrangement Plan, but characterized by the FRAME OF
SECURITY and highlight of the equipment or facilities in the drawings. Example:

[Link]. CAPACITY PLAN

These are drawings that present the technical data of the items related to loads and/or groups of
passengers that the vessel carries, such as volumes, specific weight, weights and positions
longitudinal and vertical of the respective centers of gravity. Example:

[Link]. NAVIGATION LIGHTS PLAN

They are drawings that show the arrangement and types of lights, or marks, that a vessel
must display when in motion, or stationary, at night or in low visibility conditions
(fog). Example:

There are several other types of plans that can be requested for presentation, depending on the
need for detailing, such as: MOORING AND ANCHORING PLAN, PLAN OF
OPENINGS AND SIGHES, PLAN OF THE MACHINE ROOM ARRANGEMENT, PLAN
OF THE LOADING/UNLOADING NETWORK and others.

1.1.4. Scaffolds

They are drawings that present the arrangement layout and the technical data of the structural elements.
of the vessel. Usually at least 2 plans are presented: LAYOUT PLAN
STRUCTURAL, which must present the drawings of all floors, from the bottom up to the
deck of the tijupá, and some longitudinal cuts, and the MASTER SECTION PLAN, which is the cut
transversal at the widest part of the hull, which is usually at the midship. When there are bulkheads
cross-sections must be presented with the respective drawing.
Other scaffold plans that can be requested to be presented: EXPANSION PLAN OF
PLATING, which presents the elements of the hull lining (sheets) flattened, PLAN OF
SURVEY, which presents the thicknesses of the hull lining elements, PLAN OF
CAVES, SUPERSTRUCTURE PLAN AND MANSIONS and others. Examples:

1.2.1. Logic (Diagrams)

They are schematic drawings in the form of diagrams or flowcharts that graphically represent the
operational logistics of a system. Generally, electrical circuit diagrams are created and
the piping networks. Examples:

1.2.2. Detailing

These are drawings that present appropriate details of a system for lifting materials and
its manufacture, such as axis line, government system, mooring head, and others. Examples:

1.2.3. Isometric
These are drawings for three-dimensional visualization of the vessel or its systems. Generally, they are
used for better understanding regarding assembly details, identification, and quantification of
materials and equipment, especially in piping networks. It is also used for presentation
of architectural arrangements, especially in the design phase, for a better understanding of
set and/or appear to have technological sophistication from a commercial point of view. Examples:
