4、 .2013 iii Foreword Foreword (1 December 2013) ABS has developed this Guide for Vessels with Oil Recovery Capabilities, with the aim of promoting the safety of vessels and personnel by providing specific requirements for tugboats, barges, and other vessels which are intended for service in the event
5、 of oil spills and are equipped for the storage of recovered oil floating on the sea. Such units may not be equipped with permanent means for recovering spilled oil floating on the sea and typically do not have fixed piping systems for the transfer of recovered oil overboard. Oil is recovered from t
6、he sea by portable or fixed equipment such as oil skimmers and is transferred to these vessels by floating suction pumps operating on the sea surface. Recovered oil is subsequently transferred to shore reception facilities or other vessels by portable pumps. Since 1 January 2013, requirements for of
7、fshore support vessels with oil recovery capabilities are being separately addressed in Part 5, Chapter 6 of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels. Consequently, this Guide relates to vessels classified under the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels Under 90 M
8、eters and the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Barges, as applicable. The December 2013 revisions of this Guide are adopted directly from, and are congruent with, the requirements of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels. This Guide becomes effective on the first
9、day of the month of publication. Users are advised to check periodically on the ABS website www.eagle.org to verify that this version of this Guide is the most current. We welcome your feedback.

31、IL RECOVERY CAPABILITIES .2013 Section 2: Definitions SECTION 2 Definitions (1 December 2013) The following definitions of terms are to be understood (in the absence of other specifications) where they appear in this Guide. 1 Accommodation Space Accommodation Spaces are those spaces used for public
32、spaces, corridors, laboratories, cabins, offices, hospitals, game and hobby rooms, pantries containing no cooking appliances, and similar spaces. 3 Recovered Oil Spilled oil that has been removed from the marine environment and includes mixtures of oil and water. 5 Cargo Area The Cargo Area is that
33、part of the vessel that contains recovered oil tanks, slop tanks and recovered oil pump rooms including cofferdams, ballast and void spaces adjacent to recovered oil tanks and also deck areas throughout the entire length and breadth of the part of the vessel above the aforementioned spaces. 7 Contro
34、l Station Control Stations are those spaces in which the vessels radio or main navigation equipment or the emergency source of power is located or where the fire recording or fire control equipment is located. 9 Hazardous Areas Hazardous Areas are areas where flammable or explosive gases or vapors a
35、re normally present or likely to be present. The flammable or explosive atmosphere may be expected to exist continuously or intermittently. See Subsection 7/9. Safe areas are areas that are not hazardous areas. 11 Machinery Space Machinery Spaces are those spaces and trunks to such spaces which cont
36、ain propelling machinery, boilers, oil fuel units, steam and internal combustion engines, generators and major electrical machinery, oil filling stations, thermal oil heaters, refrigerating, stabilizing, ventilation and air conditioning machinery. 13 Machinery Spaces of Category A Machinery Spaces o
37、f Category A are those spaces and trunks to such spaces which contain either: i) Internal combustion machinery used for main propulsion ii) Internal combustion machinery used for purposes other than main propulsion where such machinery has in the aggregate a total power output of not less than 375 k
38、W (500 hp) iii) Any oil-fired boiler or oil fuel unit, or any oil-fired equipment other than boiler, such as inert gas generator, incinerator, waste disposal units, etc. Section 2 Definitions ABSGUIDE FOR VESSELS WITH OIL RECOVERY CAPABILITIES .2013 3 15 Pump Room Pump Rooms are those spaces that co
39、ntain recovered oil transfer pumps, manifolds, separators or any other recovered oil handling equipment. 17 Oil The term Oil refers to petroleum or petroleum products having flash points at or below 60C (140F), closed cup test, and specific gravity of not over 1.05, except where specifically indicat
40、ed as oil having a flash point above 60C (140F). 19 Oil Recovery Operations The term Oil Recovery Operations refers to the process used to contain and remove spilled oil from the sea to storage onboard the offshore support vessel. The process also includes the removal of the recovered oil from onboa
41、rd storage to a disposal facility. 21 Service Space Service Spaces are those spaces used for galleys, pantries containing cooking appliances, lockers, store rooms, workshops other than those forming part of the machinery spaces, and similar spaces and trunks to such spaces. 4 ABSGUIDE FOR VESSELS WI
42、TH OIL RECOVERY CAPABILITIES .2013 Section 3: General SECTION 3 General (1 December 2013) 1 Application While adapting vessels or barges for the carriage of recovered oil from a spill poses some potential hazards similar to oil tankers, it is recognized that these vessels are not likely to be origin
43、ally designed to meet all the requirements of oil tankers. In consideration of the intended oil recovery services of these vessels, particular attention has been paid to the stability and floatability of the vessels in all relevant operating conditions including ballasting, safety against potential
44、fire and explosion during handling, storage and transportation of recovered oil from a spill on moderate sea conditions, structural support of oil recovery equipment during oil recovery operations, and available electrical power supply to oil recovery equipment intended to be used during oil recover
45、y operations. The purpose of this Guide is to stipulate the minimum requirements for ABS classification so that such vessels are suitably designed to carry out oil recovery operations. The Owner assumes the responsibility of operating the vessel in a safe manner with suitably trained personnel onboa
46、rd. The requirements of this Guide apply to the design, construction, equipment and operation of vessels and barges, that may be employed occasionally to recover oil having any flash point, from a spill in emergency situations. As such, these vessels and barges may be equipped to handle, store and t
47、ransport recovered oil. 3 Classification 3.1 Selection of Class The class notation Oil Spill Recovery Capability Class 1 or Oil Spill Recovery Capability Class 2 are available for assignment to vessels and barges, see Section 4 and Section 5. It is the responsibility of the Owner to select the class
48、 most suitable for the intended service and to operate that the vessel or barge in a safe environment with respect to the risk of fire and explosion. 3.5 Administration Requirements Requirements additional to those given in this Guide may be imposed by the National Administration with which the vess
49、el is registered or by the Administration within whose territorial jurisdiction the vessel is intended to operate. Approval of structural fire protection, fire extinguishing equipment and/or stability of the vessel by a National Administration, in accordance with requirements equivalent to those by class, may be considered as complying with the class requirements provided such approval can be satisfactorily documented. 5 Submission of Plans The following additional plans, supporting documents, and calculations are to be submitted for approval electroni
