Introduction
Within marine and offshore we offer a wide range of tested
and approved products and constructions specially developed
for marine and offshore. We offer competitive solutions within
e.g. fire, sound and thermal insulation and insulation of tech-
nical installations.
A dedicated team of specialists is daily working to optimize our
range of products and constructions. The development and
sale are taking place in close cooperation with the local Rock-
wool companies and a world wide net of agents and dealers.
One of our main tasks is to assist and guide our customers
with the right information and advice about our products,
constructions and the practical insulation work.
This manual combines all relevant information on marine and
offshore insulation and is designed to keep you updated on our
knowledge within the field.
We hope that you will find the Technical Guidelines useful in
your daily work and inspirational to your future work within
marine and offshore insulation.
In the Technical Guidelines you will find:
General information about standards and test methods
within marine and offshore.
Practical information and advice about insulation and
installation procedures. Detailed information about our range of products and
constructions, construction details for e.g. bulkhead, deck
and junctions.
Overall information about sound insulation and
measurements of our products.
Construction details within thermal and technical
insulation.
Overview of our product range and our certificates.
The recommendations in this manual should be seen as
guidelines only. It is of course important that the insulation
work is done according to the IMO rules and regulations from
national authorities and classification societies.

1 Bridge
At the bridge it is important to secure a
high level of fire protection and sound
insulation. See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 69-72 for floating floor
See page 79-83 for sound insulation
2 Corridors
Corridors are part of the emergency
escape routes on a vessel. The numbers
of horizontal fire zones passed by the
corridor determine the fire insulation
class.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 69-72 for floating floor
See page 79-83 for sound insulation
3 Storage and tank rooms
In the boiler room, storage rooms and
tank rooms it is often important to insu-
late surfaces, boilers and pipes.
See page 65 for penetrations
See page 73-78 for technical insulation
4 Engine room
The engine room contains a lot of fire
risks so fire protection is essential. Theengine room is also source of high and
often disturbing noise. It is often filled
with pipes, tanks, containers and other
equipment where technical insulation
is required. It is important to have the
insulation protected so oil vapour does
not get into the insulation material.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 73-78 for technical insulation
See page 79-83 for sound insulation
See page 103 for surfaces
5 Control room
In the control room fire is to be held out
as long as possible as this is the last
place where all the technical equipment
can be controlled. The sound level needs
to be low, as engine crew has to spend a
lot of time here. It is moreover important
that no vapour gets to the machines and
computers and that the room has a rea-
sonable sound level.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions See page 79-85 for sound insulation
See page 103 for surfaces
6 Disco
The discothque, cinema and bar areas
onboard cruise ships are big sources of
noise. It is important to have the rightsound insulation around these areas
towards the neighbouring areas.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 69-72 for floating floor
See page 79-83 for sound insulation
7 Cabins
On board a passenger ship it is essential
to have the right insulation between the
cabins. It is crucial to have the needed
fire protection and it is getting more and
more important to have a high level of
sound and thermal insulation.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 69-72 for floating floor
See page 79-83 for sound insulation
8 Stairways
The stairways are part of the emergency
escape routes on a vessel. The numbers
of vertical fire zones passed by the stair-
way determine the fire insulation class.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
9 Galley
In the galley you always have a risk of
fire, as you have a mixture of heat and
flammable materials. In this case it is
also necessary to be aware of the facings
as you have oil vapour in the air.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 73-78 for technical insulation
See page 103 for surfaces
10 Public area
The public area is requiring all kinds of
insulation, depending on the situation.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 64 for draught stoppers
See page 79-85 for sound insulation
See page 87-90 for thermal insulation
See page 103 for surfaces
11 Offshore
On offshore applications you have more
or less the same conditions as on a ship.
Furthermore you have the risk of hydro-
carbon fire and need to protect people
and material from an HC fire.
See page 45-52 for H-constructions
See page 53-56 for Jet Fire and
Blast Resistance

Insulation in General
Fig. 1. Welding of pins to the plate (bulkhead/deck).
As first step the pins must be welded to the plate and stiffener.
Distance between pins should not exceed 300 mm. For fire rated con-
structions the position of pins must follow the official drawings.
Fig.3A. Using an electrical saw to cut large amounts of Rockwool
SeaRox products.
When cutting large quantities of SeaRox insulation it is recommended
to use an electrical saw. This will ensure a good and angular surface
that is easy to tighten against the next Slabs. 2-5 mm oversize
is recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min.150x150 mm.
Fig. 3C. Using a shear to cut Wired Mats
Wired Mats should be cut with a large shear. 2-5 mm oversize is
recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min. 150x150 mm.
Fig. 2. Painting of the plate.
To avoid corrosion the plate can afterwards be painted with anti
corrosion paint.
Fig. 3B. Using a Rockwool knife to cut Rockwool SeaRox Insulation
Rockwool SeaRox insulation can easily be cut with a Rockwool knife
or a similar sharp knife. When the Slabs are cut in 2-5 mm oversize
(depending on density) the optimal tension and tightness can be
obtained when fitting the wool. The pieces of insulation should be min.
150x150 mm
PREPARATION
CUTTING
The installation of insulation material can be done in different
ways. It is up to the insulation contractor to choose the best
way for each application. For fire rated constructions the
installation has to follow the official drawings according to
the fire test. Drawings can be found on our website,
www.rockwool-rti.com. In the following you will finda general description of the way the insulation work can be
done:

Fig. 6 Fixing the insulation
Fix washers on the pins in order to secure fixing of the insulation.
Alternative 1, fig. 4A. Insulation of stiffeners
Depending on the construction it is recommended to start with the
insulation of the stiffeners. First by filling out the space, behind the
stiffener, with SeaRox insulation. The insulation should fit exactly to
the profile structure. Afterwards insulate around the stiffener with the
required thickness of SeaRox insulation.
Alternative 2, fig. 4A. Insulation between stiffeners
Depending on the construction it can be easier to start with insulation
of the plate. Joints must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In
connection with solutions with more than one layer of insulation, the
joints should be staggered by min. 150 mm to ensure that no joints go
straight through both layers.
Alternative 1, fig. 5A. Insulation between stiffeners.
Insulate the plate between stiffeners with SeaRox insulation. Joints
must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In connection with solu-
tions with more than one layer of insulation, the joints should be stag-
gered by 150 mm to ensure that no joints go straight through
both layers.
Alternative 2, fig. 5A. Insulation of stiffeners
Insulate with SeaRox insulation around the stiffener. Fill out the space
behind the stiffener with SeaRox insulation, the insulation should fit
exactly to the profile structure.

Securing the product
When installing the insulation all pieces must be fit firmly with
minimum one pin approx 10 mm longer than the nominal thick-
ness of the insulation. On A-constructions the material has to be
fastened with spring washers.
Different pins
Steel pins are used for steel decks and bulkheads. The steel pins are
coated with copper for corrosion protection. Stainless steel pins with
aluminium tip are used for aluminium constructions. The pins are
normally 3 mm in diameter and can be aquired in different lengths.
Washers
The spring washers used to slide over the pins for securing the insula-
tion should be 38 mm in diameter and of corrosion protected material.
Securing H-constructions
On H-constructions it is some times required that the pins are approx
40 mm longer than the nominal thickness of the insulation and are
bent in different directions to ensure that the wool is secured.
The additional application of wire mesh is not needed when using new
SeaRox H-constructions because the wire mesh is already part of ourWired Mat. On H-constructions the material has to be fastened with
spring washers.
Covering the steel washers
The washer can be fit with a plastic cap to cover the steel tip and to
create a nice looking surface.

VAPOUR BARRIER
STORAGE AND STACKING
Max height
3 m
R
Using tape to ensure an airtight surface between two batts
All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure
an air tight surface. Make sure that there is no grease on the surface
before the tape is applied. Pins and washers should be taped.
Stacking of Rockwool SeaRox products
The products must not be stacked in heights of more than three
metres.
Do not sit on the Rockwool SeaRox material
The products must at all times during storage remain untouched
and must not be affected by any kind og treading, sitting or anyother similar kind of exposure.
Storage of Rockwool SeaRox insulation
The products must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed ware-
house facilities.
In rooms where vapour will enter the insulation as a reason of tem-
perature/ pressure differences, a vapour barrier is often a demand.
When water vapour is moving from the hot room towards colder
surfaces, it will often lead to problems with corrosion. If it is oil vapour
this will be collected in the wool and endanger the fire properties ofthe wool.
To close the surface on the Rockwool SeaRox products there are
several options e.g. reinforced alu foil:
All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure
an air tight surface.
Make sure that there is no grease, oil or dirt on the surface before
the tape is applied. This will cause the tape to come loose.
Make sure all holes in the surface are closed.
The surface must have a low flame spread approval if it is used
for marine applications.
In order to secure the right conditions for storage of Rockwool
marine and offshore products a special set has of conditions been
prepared, e.g. the products:
Must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed warehouse
facilities.
Must not be stacked in more than two layers when delivered
on pallets.
Must only be stored on the flat side when delivered in packages and
must not be stacked in heights of more than three metres.
Must at all times during storage remain untouched and must not be
affected by any kind of treading, sitting or any other similar kind of
exposure.
Must be transported in closed compartments, e.g. trailers, contain-
ers and other cargo holds in order to avoid exposure to weather
elements and/or condensation etc.

Choosing the Right Product
To find the correct product it is necessary to know which ap
plication it has to be used for e.g.:
Fire insulation
Sound insulation
Thermal insulation
Insulation of technical installations
Floating floor insulation
Panels
Insulation of sub-sea pipelines
Combinations e.g. fire and sound insulation
When the application is known, the requirements for product
characteristics need to be evaluated e.g.:
Fire properties
Sound properties
Thickness
Thermal conductivity
Mechanical strength
In some applications the weight could be of importance. In
such cases the lighter products can be chosen, but it is not
always the lightest solution that gives the best result. The light
products do not protect against noise in the same frequency
band as the more heavy products, so here it is necessary to
know what result is requested in the end.
All Rockwool SeaRox products have good fire properties,
but when using the products on ships or offshore rigs it is
necessary to choose the right product fulfilling the needed
fire rating.
Furthermore it can be relevant to evaluate the different so-
lutions with regard to the working and installation method.
Depending on the experience, the labour cost and the prioriti-
sation it might be relevant to include parameters as e.g.:
Easy handling
Less cutting
Fast installation
Labour intensity
0575/year
Rockwool Technical Insulation has a large number of certifica-
tes for the different products and applications from classifica-
tion companies based on fire tests made at IMO approved fire
institutes.
When choosing a product it is necessary to choose a product
that is approved by the classification company that has to ap-
prove the application/newbuilding in the end.
Some customers prefer to work with constructions based on
Slabs, securing easy handling of small size and fixed products,
others prefer to work with constructions based on Wired Mats.
For some customers it is important to have the best and most
safe solutions typically based on a two layer solution where
other customers tend to focus on easy and fast installation.
Finally, it is important to focus on the right documentation
such as:
Type approvals
Type certificates
When using Rockwool SeaRox insulation onboard a vessel
carrying an EEA flag make sure that the product has the MED
approval symbol (wheelmark).
It is important to make sure that the products and construc-
tions have the right approval needed in the specific project,
e.g. construction approval, non-
combustible approval and low flame spread approval.
Remember to check if the certificate is valid at the time where
the insulation plan is approved by the classification societies.

Regulations for Fire InsulationAccording to SOLAS
The requirements for materials and constructions to meet
specified standards of safety are normally prescribed by in-
ternational or national laws related to shipping and offshoreinstallations.
In addition to these regulations classification societies such
as Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Lloyds Register of Shipping
(LRS) may have additional requirements.
Approvals and Certification
Suppliers of materials and constructions to the
marine and offshore industry must prove that their prod-
ucts, as a minimum, meet the statutory requirements.
The MED directive (EC Council Directive 96/98/EC - Marine
Equipment Directive) has replaced the previous approv-
als from the maritime authorities within EEA countries.
All products supplied to marine carrying EEA flag must be
subject to the MED directive.
MED-certificates are issued by
notified bodies accredited by an
EEA country. Approved products
bear the mark of conformity.
Classification societies issue type approval certificates stat-ing the permission to use specific materials and construc-
tions together with any relative restrictions.
If there are special circumstances or requirements for spe-
cial details, it may be required to obtain statements from
other authorities.
Approval Requirements
To satisfy the national authorities and classification socie-
ties, materials and constructions must be proven to complywith the national and international requirements. Tests
have to be done at internationally recognised test labora-
tories.
The tests have to be performed so that the materials or
products are exposed to a fire generated under controlled
conditions that simulate as closely as possible a worst case
scenario.
Test Requirements
There are several national and international requirements
regarding the use of materials on ships and offshore instal-lations. These classifications are required to prove combus-
tibility characteristics and include ignition properties, heat
release and development of toxic gases and smoke.
To prove that materials meet the required fire technical
classification, tests are carried out at recognised test
institutions according to standardised test methods.
Material Test Methods
Testing of materials fire resistance is done according to the
latest FTP code for non-combustibility and where a facing is
applied for low flame spread.
It is important to note that materials which meet the require-
ments for non-combustibility do not have to be tested for other
fire technical properties.
All Rockwool A- and H-constructions are tested according
to FTP-code. FTP-code is describing also the thickness of
the test specimen. The decision about the thickness of the
structural part is in responsibility of the ship designer and will
finally be approved by the responsible class society.
Construction Test Methods
Testing of a constructions fire resistance (decks, bulkheads,
structural steel, penetrations etc.) is normally carried out in a
standardised test furnace, where the construction specimen
is exposed to a fire according to a standardised time/tempera-
ture curve.
SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 5.3.1:
Use of non-combustible materials
Insulating materials shall be non-combustible,
except in cargo spaces, mail rooms, baggage
rooms and refrigerated compartments of service
spaces. Vapour barriers and adhesives used in
conjunction with insulation, as well as the
insulation of pipe fittings for cold service
systems, need not be of non-combustible
materials, but they shall be kept to the minimum
quantity practicable and their exposed surfaces
shall have low flame-spread characteristics.

Class B Fire Divisions
Class B fire divisions must be of non-combustible materials
and must prevent the propagation of flames for at least 30
minutes during a standard fire test.
The divisions must be insulated so that the average tem-
perature on the unexposed side of the division does not
exceed 140C above the initial temperature.
Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on the
unexposed side must not exceed 225C above the initial
temperature within the time limits.
Class A Fire Divisions
Class A fire divisions must be of non-combustible materials
and insulation materials must be fire tested at a recognised
institution. They must be sufficiently braced and must pre-
vent the propagation of flames and smoke for a minimum of
one hour during a standard fire test.
The divisions must be insulated so that the average temper-
ature on the unexposed side of the division does not exceed
140C above the initial temperature.
Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on the
unexposed side must not exceed 180C above the initial
temperature within the time limits.
Class H Fire Divisions
Class H fire divisions must be of non-combustible materials
and insulation materials must be fire tested at a recognized
institution. They must be sufficiently braced and must pre-
vent the propagation of flames and smoke for a minimum of
two hours during a standard fire test for a hydrocarbon fire.
The divisions must be insulated so that the average tem-
perature on the unexposed side of the division does not
exceed 140C above the initial temperature.
Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on theunexposed side must not exceed 180C above the initial
temperature within the time limits.

One layer solution
The construction is based on a solution where the
construction is made with one product in one layer.
This leads to faster installation.
Low construction weight
The construction is based on products with a low
density and/or low thickness which lead to low total
construction weight.
Fast installation
The construction is based on Mats which reduce
the cutting especially around stiffeners, and
consequently faster installation time.
Safe solution
The construction is based on a multiple, typical two
layer solution which results in more safe solutions
especially due to staggered joints.
Optimal sound properties
The construction is based on products with higher
density and/or more thickness which result in better
sound properties.
Easy handling
The construction is based on Slabs, where the small
size and fixed structure of the products give an easy
handling in respect to cutting and installation.
Rockwool Technical Insulation has made symbols for all
fire rated applications explaining the advantages with each
application:

General arrangement prior to testing - blast resistance
- class H
The regulatory requirements for the blast behaviour offire rated bulkheads are not normally well documented.
It is considered a general requirement that all parts of fire
divisions maintain the same fire and explosion resistance
and proof of this must be documented through physical
testing.
General arrangement after testing - recommended
design limits

All the above tests were carried out without any significant damage to the insulation material.According to the Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory (SINTEF) a fire will not affect the fire integrity or stability of the insulation.
Due to the test methods used, SINTEF has assessed the above results to be conservative.
Rockwool, in association with SINTEF (NBL) in Norway, has performed extensive testing on H-rated Rockwool insulation systems,
using controlled gas explosions. The test results below refer to the same insulation construction with various types of wire mesh.

Solas requires that the stiffeners must be insulated*. One way
is to insulate without filling the space behind the stiffeners.
In other situations the insulation can follow the shape of the
stiffener or the void behind the stiffener can be filled
out.
If the stiffener is more than 450 mm wide the insulation can
be stopped at 450 mm. The insulation of stiffeners should be
finally approved by local surveyor.
In most bulkhead and deck constructions stiffeners are used to secure the necessary strength in the construction. In order to
prevent heat transmission it is important to secure the right insulation. In general insulation of the stiffeners must follow the
official drawings as carried out in the fire tests.

When two plates are connected in a corner, the heat bridge should always be kept in mind when insulating. The structure
must have insulation so that heat transfer can not occur from one unexposed surface through the structure and onto another
unexposed surface. The heat must always go minimum 450 mm under the insulation before reaching an unexposed surface(acc. to SOLAS MSC/circ. 1120 annex reg. 9.3.4).
Bulkhead and Deck - Construction details
In connection with insulation it is important to pay special attention to the details related to junctions, corners etc. in order to avoid
potential heat bridges. Below you will find examples of construction details:
Connections between
A-60 and A-0 construc-
tions should be insulated
by adding a layer of
A-60 insulation on the
A-0 construction in a
minimum width of 450
mm. This is to minimize
the effect of the heatbridge.
Another alternative to insulate the heat bridge can be done
by installing min. 450 mm* of insulation on the other side
of the construction.
This will reduce thetransferred heat and
thereby minimise the risk
of self ignition inside the
connecting room.

Installation of Surface Steel Plate
A surface protection of sheet metal can be installed in
different ways, depending on the layout of the stiffeners and
the amount of insulation.
It is important to make the fixing in a way that minimises the
heat bridges and structural noise transmitted via the hull.

Corrugated Structural Steel
A-60 Fire Rated Constructions
In some projects the standard IMO structural core is replaced
with a light structural core consisting of a corrugated steelplate.
To ease the insulation Rockwool Technical Insulation has got
an assessment from DBI (Danish Fire Institute) which allows
insulation using our standard fire rated constructions without
filling out the corrugation.
The assessments are valid for A-60 fire rated constructions
as follows:
SeaRox WM 640, 75 mm, 1 layer
SeaRox WM 620, 45 mm, 2 layer
SeaRox SL 640, 30 mm, 2 layer
SeaRox SL 620, 60 mm, 1 layer
The assessment is provided under the following restrictions:
Products as described in test report
Structural core towards the fire
The height of the corrugation may not exceed 100 mm and
the thickness of the corrugated steel plating is not below
1.9 mm.
The joint between the corrugated steel sheets must be fully
welded to insure air tightness.
The corrugated steel structural core should not carry any
vertical load.

Draught Stoppers
Draught stoppers are used above ceilings to avoid the spread
of smoke and flames in case of fire. Normally the classifica-
tion companies request a B-0 fire insulation above the ceiling.This can be made from SeaRox WM 640 or SeaRox SL 620 after
request from the local surveyor or the customer.
Construction
SeaRox WM 640, min. 50 mm, with reinforced aluminium foil
or...
SeaRox SL 620, min. 60 mm, with reinforced aluminium foil.
SeaRox SL 620 must be covered with wire mesh. Insulation
fixed with 3 mm pins and secured with 38 mm washers.
Installation
Step 1: First the pins are welded vertically to the underside of
the deck in alignment with the required position of the
Draught Stopper.
Step 2:The pins are then bent 90 in a staggered pattern as
shown.
Step 3:The Rockwool product and wire mesh are then pushed
over the pins so that they protrude by a minimum of
25 mm. The insulation is secured by spring steel
washers.
Penetrations Penetrations through the Draught Stopper are simply made
by cutting out the shape of the penetrating items in the
Rockwool product, for example, pipes, HVAC ducts and cable
racks.
The cut edge of the Wired Mat must fit tightly to the edge of
the penetrating item and the slit in the insulation must be
stitched/taped back together using steel wire/alu tape.
This solution can be used for any type of penetration includ-
ing multiple penetrations.

SOLAS, Part C, Chapter II-2, Regulation 8, sec 4 :
Air spaces enclosed behind ceilings, panelling or linings shall
be divided by close-fitting Draught Stops spaced not more
than 14 m apart. In the vertical direction, such enclosed air
spaces, including those behind linings of stairways, trunks,
etc., shall be closed at each deck.

Penetrations
Penetrations of fire protection
When pipes, ducts or other go through a bulkhead or deck
it is called a penetration. There are special rules regarding
insulation when the decks or bulkheads with fire class are
penetrated.
The pipe going through a fire classed structure must be
made of steel and must have a length of minimum 900
mm. IMO suggests to use min. 450 mm on each side of the
construction.
The min. 900 mm insulation must have the same insulation
class weight as the structure that is penetrated.
SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 9, sec 3:
The duct spool must be insulated with A-rated fire
insulation for a distance of either side of the bulkhead
or deck (L1 + L2 = 900 mm)

B-15 Extension
B-15 extension is used as a B-15 wall extension above the
ceiling. The B-15 extension prevents smoke and fire to spread
above the ceiling. The B-15 extension solution has passed aB-15 fire test with SeaRox SL 470, 25 mm which fulfils the IMO
demands.
B-15 wall extension/separation
of adjacent spaces
Product: SeaRox SL 470, 25 mm
Density: 180 kg/m3
Vessels have screens between the cabins with a fire class
of B-0, B-15, A-15 or A30. When a B-0 or B-15 seperation is
requested Rockwool recommends using a B-15 construction.
This construction consists of a normal B-15 wall and above the
ceiling a 25 mm SeaRox SL 470.
