Prestige F5.7: IPS800 configuration, plants and technical checks

Access to the flybridge of Prestige F5.7

The Prestige F5.7 configuration must hold together flybridge, OceanView kitchen, prodier lounge, semi-main deck suites and double IPS800. Each option adds functions but also weight, absorption and maintenance. This sequence of verifications starts from official data and always distinguishes specific model and equipment of the specimen.

The F5.7 measures 17,29 × 4,69 meters, fishing 1,32 meters and declares 20,417 kilograms light and 26,486 full load. Two 600-horse Volvo D8 with IPS800 are associated with 23 cruising knots and 27 maximum. Fuel 2.200 liters, water 580 and boiler 60 define the base of the circuits.

Freeze distinct, layout and weights

Before testing, design and design are approved. The card indicates six places plus an optional crew: the presence of the dedicated room must be in the ordered version. Each device must be identified by brand, model and position.

The weight balance includes hard tops, furniture, systems and equipment. The difference of 6,069 kilograms between light and full load makes control essential to interpret trim and test.

Flybridge scale

The staircase connects the well to the upper deck and must remain free with tables and chairs in use. They control sticks, edges, lighting and drainage. No mobile object can occupy the path.

The test is repeated with the navigation and the convivial one. Fixing and deemed must be easy to use by the expected crew.

The flybridge has separate areas for rest and government.

Hard top and top terrace

The hard top protects rudder, lounge and part of the dining area. The control includes visible structure, drainage, lights and equipment installed. Ingots and final height must result from documents.

Covering should not reduce visual or access. Every technical step is identified and maintained accessible. Maintenance instructions enter the file.

Posture with two armchairs

The higher government has two seats. Adjustments, screens, controls and alarms actually installed. Sunbeds and guests must not invade the operating area.

The verification sequence includes clear sun, reflections, communication with the main bridge and switching of the active station. Software and manual versions must coincide.

Flybridge Hall and Table

The outdoor lounge is a main environment of the boat. Table and chairs are tested in all planned configurations, controlling stability and circulation. The gavones must open without conflicts.

Each element receives a consideration for navigation. The service of the dining area should not cross the rudder. Any users must be listed in the separate notice.

Upper kitchen and circuits

The flybridge kitchen requires food, ventilation and joint drains with the chosen equipment. Commercial definition is not enough. Functions, closures and technical access are tested.

The outdoor location requires protection and cleaning procedures. Every device must have manual and identification. Anomalies and losses are resolved before delivery.

OceanView galley and bar

The internal kitchen is connected to the well by a bar. They simulate preparation and service while other people use the salon. Doors and floors should not block the steps.

Equipment, closures, sockets and discharges are controlled one by one. Materials and finishes must match the samples. The photographed configuration is not valid as a capitulate.

Pozzetto with opposite benches

The sessions create a conversation environment facing the sea. With table and guests in position, a corridor to platform, interior and staircase is necessary. The evidence uses the usual number of people.

Bearings, gavones, deemed and drainage are inspected. Objects must be placed without technical access or exit.

Platform two steps lower

The lower part approaches the water but introduces a change of level. Grains, hooks, lighting and protection are fundamental controls. The area must be tested wet according to safe procedures.

Scope and limits of the platform derive from the documents of the unit. They do not deduce themselves from images. Each mechanism installed receives a dedicated test.

Modular prodigal lounge

Semicircular bench, sunbed with adjustable backrest and side table form a second outdoor lounge. Adjustments, withholding and storing. Operational steps must remain free.

Appearances and perimeter protection are verified throughout the route. The convivial arrangement should not hinder the activities planned on the bridge.

Semi-main deck shipowning suite

The prodier suite includes king size bed, private bathroom, daybed and walk-in closet. The continuous floor and the raised position create an independent space. The test controls access, doors and furnishings.

Bathroom, lighting, sockets and ventilation are tested. Finishes and fabrics compare with the samples. Every difference enters the record.

Guest cabins and optional crew seat

The night configuration must be tested with realistic luggage. Beds, cabinets, doors and bathrooms must not enter into conflict. Technical rooms remain free.

The crew place, if ordered, must be identified in the layout and equipped according to the distinct. The number 6+1 should not be confused with the certified flow rate.

Water tank and boiler

The 580 liters of water are distinguished by the 60 boiler. Indicator, filling, utilities and sealing are tested. Inspection access must be documented.

The capacity does not guarantee days of autonomy. Guests and habits determine consumption. The first cruises will provide useful data to planning.

Fuel: 2,200 liters

Nominal data requires reliable indicators and a supply procedure. Bags, vents and readings are verified. The operational reserve is defined by the owner.

Autonomy arises from real consumption measured with known conditions. Without load, regime and sea, capacity does not produce a reliable distance.

Two D8-600 IPS800

Motors and pods are recorded with serial numbers, guarantees and manuals. Access to ordinary controls, cleanliness and absence of visible losses occurs. The maintenance plan is delivered.

The test includes start, manoeuvre, reverse, stop and alarms. Each parameter is noted under the conditions laid down by the manufacturer.

Protocol for 23 and 27 knots

Declared speeds require load, levels, people, weather and sea. The actual displacement affects comparison. Tolerances and remedies must be agreed before the exit.

Regimes, speed, temperature and alarms are read together. A scaffolding produces a control and a new test, not an improvised explanation.

Test of dock

Powers, paintings, pumps, lights, doors, kitchens and services are checked before the exit. The functions are activated individually and in realistic combinations. Alarms must be understood and resolved.

Filters, valves and protections must be reached. Labels and patterns use the same names. The changes introduced in the preparation appear in the final documents.

Coordination of steps

The verification does not only concern the apparent width of the corridors. At the same time they open sliding door, kitchen doors and gavones compatible with everyday use, so they run well, lounge and flybridge. Table configurations are proven both open and fixed. A passage is really functional when it remains readable during service and when guests occupy the seats.

The same procedure is repeated by the prodier lounge towards the rudder and the cabins to the exits. Any interference is photographed and associated with the precise location of the furnishings. The solution must be agreed and verified before the final minutes.

Inventory of installed users

The model card does not replace the specimen list. For each user, identification, power supply, protection, command position and maintenance access are noted. The control prevents a function to be acquired only because it appears in a photograph or in a different setting.

The inventory connects devices and manuals, without introducing unconfirmed brands or features. If a component changes during the preparation, separate, schema and documentation are updated together. This passage is particularly important in the two kitchens, in the rudders and in the technical premises.

Starting point for the test

Before leaving the dock there are people on board, tank levels, equipment and load distribution. The light value published does not describe the condition of the single output; the full load is another reference, not a shortcut to estimate the real weight.

The mobile objects are secured, the doors brought to the planned location and the operating areas released. The test can thus be repeated with comparable data. Any significant change is noted before interpreting speed, regime or behavior.

Closure of non-compliance

Each relief must describe the point, the observed condition and the expected result. A generic note does not allow to verify the remedy. The controller and the agreed date are associated with the item, then the same function is tested again under the original conditions.

The closure requires evidence: photography, measurement, updated document or outcome of the test, according to the nature of the relief. In this way the minutes clearly separates completed activities, still open observations and choices accepted by the shipowner.

Try the day and night configurations

The test is performed first with the rooms prepared for the day and then with cabins and private spaces in use. In the first place there are kitchen, cockpit, bow and flybridge; in the second there are accesses, storage and separation of the shipbuilding suite. The passage between the two configurations must be understandable and not require to place objects in the corridors.

The final photographs document the correct positions of tables, kitchens and furniture. This track helps the crew to restore the planned setup and immediately makes any missing components visible at the time of delivery.

Register of first navigation

After testing, the first exits complete the technical base. Engine hours, starting levels, people, conditions and data are noted with the same criterion. There is no need for estimates from a single section: it is important to build a coherent series that will allow us to recognize shocks.

The register also includes pod interventions, periodic checks and updates performed. Connected to serial numbers and files, it transforms the user experience into a useful historian. The future comparison happens with the real configuration of the F5.7, not with a generic specimen.

Delivery Paper

Separate designs, patterns, certificates, serial numbers, manuals and proof form the dossier. Digital versions must remain readable even without connection to the necessary documents on board.

Each relief receives responsibility, expiry and verification of closure. Dated photographs prevent misunderstandings. Delivery ends when boat and documents coincide.

Operational evaluation

The F5.7 offers many autonomous areas and a highly separate shipowning suite. This wealth works if steps, weights and plants remain coordinated. Options must be chosen as a system.

After delivery there are engine hours, pod interventions, filters, anods and updates. The historian keeps the configuration identifiable and makes future assistance more accurate.
