Inland navigation vessels - Connections for the transfer of diesel oil
This European Standard specifies the design, dimensions, technical requirements and testing of connections for the tranfer of diesel oil on inland navigation vessels. It does not apply to the filling of cargo tanks. The Standard specifies: a connection of a design that is common on inland navigation vessels consisting of a threaded pipe and a quick release coupling; a connection for vessels with deck screw caps (internal thread according to ISO 228-1) consisting of an adaptator with threaded pipe and a quick release coupling.
Fahrzeuge der Binnenschiffahrt - Anschlüsse für die Übernahme von Dieselkraftstoff
Diese Europäische Norm legt Bauart, Maße, technische Anforderungen und Prüfungen von Anschlüssen für die Übernahme von Dieselkraftstoff für Fahrzeuge der Binnenschiffahrt fest. Sie gilt nicht für das Befüllen von Ladetanks. Die Norm legt fest: einen Anschluß in der für Binnenschiffe üblichen Ausführung, bestehend aus Gewindestutzen und Schnellkupplung; einen Anschluß für Schiffe mit Decksverschluß (Rohrinnengewinde nach ISO 228-1), bestehend aus Adapter mit Gewindestutzen und Schnellkupplung.
Bateaux de navigation intérieure - Raccords de ravitaillement en carburant Diesel
La présente nomre européenne spécifie la conception, les dimensions, les exigences techniques et les essais des raccords de ravitaillement en carburant Diesel sur les bateaux de navigation intérieure. Elle ne s'applique pas au remplissage des cargos. La norme spécifie: un raccord de conception courante dans la navigation intérieure composé d'un raccord fileté et d'un accouplement rapide; un raccord conçu pour les navires avec étambrai de pont (filet intérieur selon l'ISO 228-1) qui consiste en un adapteur avec raccord fileté et accouplement rapide.

Overview
EN 12827:1999 (CEN) specifies the design, dimensions, technical requirements and testing of connections for the transfer of diesel oil on inland navigation vessels. The Standard addresses shore-to-ship and ship-to-ship diesel transfer connections commonly used on inland waterways. It explicitly does not apply to the filling of cargo tanks. EN 12827 defines two principal connection types used on inland vessels: a threaded pipe with a quick release coupling, and an adaptor for vessels fitted with deck screw caps (internal thread according to ISO 228-1).
Key Topics
- Scope and exclusions
- Applicability to diesel oil transfer connections on inland navigation vessels.
- Exclusion of cargo tank filling operations.
- Design and dimensions
- Standardized geometric and interface dimensions for compatibility between vessels and shore equipment.
- Definition of a common connection design: threaded pipe + quick release coupling.
- Adaptor for deck screw caps
- Requirements for an adaptor enabling the use of quick release couplings with deck screw caps that comply with ISO 228-1 internal threads.
- Technical requirements
- Materials, mechanical strength and sealing characteristics necessary for safe diesel transfer.
- Requirements intended to reduce leakage risk and ensure operational safety during bunkering.
- Testing and verification
- Prescribed tests to validate connection integrity, fit and performance under expected service conditions.
- Inspection and acceptance criteria to confirm compliance with the Standard.
Applications
EN 12827 is focused on practical safety and interoperability in inland waterway bunkering operations. Typical users and applications include:
- Shipbuilders and naval architects specifying refueling inlet arrangements on inland navigation vessels.
- Marine equipment manufacturers designing quick release couplings, threaded pipes and adaptors for diesel bunkering.
- Port and terminal operators implementing standardized shore connections for river barges and inland vessels.
- Maintenance teams, surveyors and classification societies using the Standard to verify equipment conformity and safe operation.
- Operators and fleet managers ensuring compatible, safe, and efficient diesel transfer between vessels and shore facilities.
Related Standards
- ISO 228-1 - referenced for internal thread dimensions of deck screw caps used with adaptors.
- Other CEN and national standards for inland navigation and piping systems may be relevant when integrating bunkering connections into vessel systems.
EN 12827:1999 provides a practical, safety-focused framework for designing and testing diesel transfer connections, improving compatibility and reducing spill risk across inland navigation operations.
