Cofferdam Protection

According to AND 2015 double-hull spaces and cofferdams shall be provided with ventilation systems. If necessary, the empty cofferdams spaces will be filled with water. By filling and emptying, at temperature and atmospheric pressure differences, air will be exchange between atmosphere and cofferdam space. If the shipload requires explosion protection, than gas air mixture can accumulate in to cofferdam or double-hull spaces. To prevent explosion in the cofferdam and/or double-hull spaces, the ventilation system must be fitted with end of line deflagration flame arrestor approved to EN ISO 16852 (see also ADN 2015 - 9.3.2.20.4).

According to ADN 2015:
