Equipment number

Japanese: 艤装数 - ぎそうすう(英語表記)equipment number
Equipment number
A numerical value used to determine the size and strength of a ship's mooring equipment, calculated from the ship's main dimensions using a set formula. A ship is equipped with anchors, anchor chains, mooring lines, etc. as mooring equipment, but designing the dimensions, required strength, and quantity of these items each time would be unified and complicated, so a method is used to calculate the number of pieces of equipment based on experience. In the Ship Safety Act, the basic number is the sum of the ship's width and depth multiplied by its length, and the dimensions of the superstructure such as the superstructure are added to this to determine the number of pieces of equipment.

Japanese:
船の係留装置の大きさ,強度などを決定するときに用いられる数値で,船の主要寸法から一定の算式によって計算される。船には係留装置として,錨,錨鎖(びようさ),係船索などが装備されるが,これらの寸法や必要な強度,数量などをそのつど設計していては統一がとれず,また繁雑でもあるため,経験則に基づいた艤装数から割り出す方法が用いられる。〈船舶安全法〉では,船の幅と深さの和に長さを掛けた数が基本となり,これに船楼などの上部構造の寸法を付加して艤装数を定める。
