Acceptable materials for ballast include lead plate, lead ingots/bars, and/or lead shot. The ballast shall be located to allow full access to all equipment, valves, switches and controls in the space, and maintenance access for inspection and painting to the bilges, bottom plating, and side shell plating. Ingress and egress from the space shall not be obstructed. The ballast shall be installed with the overall transverse center of gravity located on the vessel’s centerline. The ballast shall be installed in ballast boxes that are designed to keep the ballast from shifting. The ballast nor ballast boxes shall not be installed in the bilge with direct contact with the bottom plating.

The contractor shall develop drawings and details for the proposed ballast and installation. The drawings shall include details on the ballast location(s), type, quantity, ballast boxes/containment structures, and foundations.

The experiment shall be directed by a Registered Professional Engineer and the results provided to USACE for review and approval. Following the approval of the incline experiment results, USACE will be responsible for updating all stability related documents with the new lightship characteristics and installed ballast. Within seven days of the incline experiment results approval, USACE will inform the contractor on the final quantity of ballast (not to exceed 15,000-pounds) to install. This is a government inspection point.
