CHT Ship/Shore Operations Assessment. Volume 1
Abstract
An evaluation of the Norfolk area CHT ship to shore sewage transfer systems was conducted during the past eight months. This evaluation examined most every aspect of CHT operation of both shore and ship systems. This report has two volumes. Volume I contains the final project report, Parts I and II, and Standard Operating Procedures for the shore systems for the three major Norfolk ports. Volume II contains reports on individual ships activated and studied during this program. Little over two years remain until the 1981 deadline requiring compliance with the DOD directive requiring the collection and treatment of shipboard generated waste. To meet this goal, the Navy is primarily relying on the installation of Collection Holding and Transfer (CHT) systems for most of its surface vessels. Installation of these systems is still progressing and most shore pier sewers are nearing completion. The program to install these systems has been primarily concerned with the engineering problems of design and installation. As more CHT systems become activated and shore systems are ready to receive sewage, the program to meet the 1981 goal is entering a new phase. This phase must be concerned with system operation. The CHT system must mature from an idealized design concept and installation to a practical, reliable shipboard operated system.
