Abstract
Disclosed is a method (200) of assembling a vessel overboard discharge assembly (600), the method (200) comprising: inserting (210) a tubular insert (500) into an overboard discharge pipe (300) so that a space (400) is defined between the tubular insert (500) and the overboard discharge pipe (300): blocking (221) an outboard opening (401) into the space (400) at an outboard end (301) of the space (400): and providing (280) in the space (400) an adhesive (450) and/or chocking material (450) for adhering and/or chocking the tubular insert (500) in the overboard discharge pipe (300).
Claims20
A method of assembling a vessel overboard discharge assembly, the method comprising:
- inserting a tubular insert into an overboard discharge pipe so that a space is defined between the tubular insert and the overboard discharge pipe;
- blocking an outboard opening into the space at an outboard end of the space;
- and
- providing in the space an adhesive and/or chocking material for adhering and/or chocking the tubular insert in the overboard discharge pipe.
A tubular insert for insertion in an overboard discharge pipe of a vessel, the tubular insert comprising:
- a tube defining a flow path along which a fluid is flowable from a fluid system of the vessel, in use;
- and
- a passage through a circumferential wall of the tube, the passage fluidically connecting the flow path with an outer surface of the tube, whereby, during installation of the tubular insert in the overboard discharge pipe, adhesive and/or chocking material is passable from the flow path via the passage to the outer surface of the tube for adhering and/or chocking the outer surface of the tube in the overboard discharge pipe.
