What is ISO 16147- Small craft about?
ISO 16147 is an international standard that establishes requirements for the design and installation of engine-mounted fuel and electrical components on diesel inboard-mounted engines for minimizing fuel leakage and the risk of and/or the spread of fire on the small craft of hull length up to 24 m.
ISO 16147 helps in achieving reliability levels appropriate for offshore wind farm components, all types of structure, and the nature of the combination of materials used.
Who is ISO 16147- Small craft for?
BS EN 16147 on small craft is relevant to:
- Ships and marine manufacturers 
- Small craft manufacturers 
- Small craft diesel engine manufacturers 
- Design engineers for small craft diesel engines  
- Quality control personnel for small craft
Why should you use ISO 16147- Small craft?
The purpose of this document is to assist designers who are attempting to develop small craft designs.
ISO 16147 helps you in providing comprehensive requirements and guidance for the planning, engineering and safe execution of port and marine operations for all types of offshore wind farm components including cable-laying and burial operations and installation and operation of floating turbines moored to the seabed.
Adopting requirements in compliance with ISO 16147 can help maintain efficiency in port and marine operations by taking into account the performance of foundations, substructures, WTG, cables, and topsides installed in offshore wind farms, from the point of view of planning, engineering, construction, and documentation.
ISO 16147 ensures that port and marine operations are conducted within defined and recognized safety and reliability levels, wherever they are performed. As a result, the operational efficiency and safety of the small craft can be maintained. Low-emission levels, prolonged service life, and energy efficiency are the key outcomes for your business.
