13、Left Blank Section 1: Introduction SECTION 1 Introduction 1 General (1 July 2016) The Hull Inspection and Maintenance Program (HIMP) is offered by ABS to assist Owners and Operators to more effectively inspect and maintain the hull structure on their vessels. Note: The general term “vessel” used thr
14、oughout this Guide is meant to be a ship, a barge, an offshore unit or facility, or any other floating or fixed structure where HIMP would be applicable. Vessels enrolled in this program may be eligible for the optional class notation HIMP. This notation signifies that the vessel classed with ABS is
15、 enrolled in the Hull Inspection and Maintenance Program in accordance with this Guide. This Guide sets forth requirements for the HIMP intended to assist users in the development, improvement, and application of their hull maintenance management systems. This Guide details the procedures associated
16、 with the development and implementation of an approved Hull Inspection and Maintenance Program. When properly performed by Owners Qualified Inspectors who are acceptable to ABS, such a program may be used as an aid to more effectively assess and document the condition of the hull structure. Hull st
17、ructure inspection and maintenance on vessels using the HIMP with or without the associated notation does not supersede the judgment of an ABS Surveyor, nor does it waive ABS Surveyor attendance for the periodic surveys necessary for maintenance of Class, including damage and repair, as required by
18、the applicable ABS Rules or Guides used for classing the vessels hull structure. Note: The word “Inspector” and “Inspection” in this Guide refers to the Owners QI and QIs inspection respectively. The word “Surveyor” and “Survey” in this Guide refers to the ABS Surveyor and his/her survey respectivel
19、y. 1.1 IACS PR 33 Owners Hull Inspection and Maintenance Schemes Owners hull inspection and maintenance schemes are to be encouraged as a means for maintaining compliance with classification and statutory requirements between surveys. However, these schemes are not to be accepted as an alternative t
20、o, or a substitute for, the performance of required classification and/or statutory surveys of the hull by the Surveyors of the Society, or of another duly authorized Society. The Surveyors may be assisted, where appropriate, by service suppliers as defined in UR Z17. 1.3 HIMP Notation (1 July 2016)
21、 For assignment of the HIMP notation vessels hull inspection and maintenance scheme is required to be examined at time of its implementation. For requirements of the implementation survey, refer to Section 2 of this Guide. For maintenance of the HIMP notation, vessel is to be enrolled into ABS Conti
22、nuous Survey of Hull and vessels hull inspection and maintenance scheme and is required to be examined within the Annual Survey window period of the vessel. For requirements of the maintenance surveys, refer to Section 3 of this Guide. Note: Vessels classed with “ESP” or “ESDC” notations cannot be e
23、nrolled into ABS Continuous Survey of Hull and therefore will not be eligible for HIMP. The implementation and annual surveys are to be carried out by an Owners Qualified Inspector (QI) and ABS Surveyor. For requirements of the QIs training, duties and performance, which affects the vessels HIMP not
24、ation, refer to Section 4 of this Guide. Onboard documents, required to be readily available to the ABS Surveyor during the implementation, and annual surveys are referenced in Section 5 of this Guide. ABSGUIDE FOR HULL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM .2016 1 Section 1 Introduction 1.5 HIMP at Tr
25、ansfer of Class (1 July 2016) Existing vessels that are transferring into ABS Class from another IACS society may also be eligible for the optional class notation HIMP, provided all requirements of this Guide are satisfactorily complied with. 3 Software Programs (1 July 2016) Definitions of software
26、 programs for hull inspection and maintenance and their utilization requirements are explained below. 3.1 HM (Hull Manager) Software The ABS HM software was formerly known as the Hull Inspection or HIMP software. This is a browser-based software offered by ABS Nautical Systems (NS). When set up prop
27、erly with the customized vessel specific data, the software will satisfy the ABS HIMP Guide requirements for vessel-specific inspection regime and data management tool. Vessels enrolled into HIMP are required to use the ABS NS HM software or software that is equivalent to the ABS NS HM. 3.1.1 Altern
28、ative Hull Inspection and Maintenance Software When a vessel is already fitted with a hull inspection and maintenance software program that is different than the ABS product, the use of such software is to be agreed by ABS. 3.3 HM3D (Hull Manager 3D) Software The HM3D software is based on the HM Sof
29、tware and provides added granularity to what is captured in HM and also adds functionality in terms of condition management, trending, and assessment capability of vessels. This software is also offered by ABS Nautical Systems (NS). The use of HM3D software for enrollment into HIMP is optional. 5 Sc
30、ope This Guide is intended to address the requirements for the Hull Inspection and Maintenance Program in conjunction with the applicable requirements of the ABS Rules/Guides. These requirements are applicable to those features that are permanent in nature and can be verified by plan review, calcula
31、tion, physical survey or other approved means. 5.1 Included in Scope (1 July 2016) 5.1.1 General Items The following items are included in the scope of this Guide and will require visual examination and appropriate measurement/testing by the Owner to confirm general conditions of the vessel to satis
32、fy HIMP: i) General condition of the accessible parts of the hull structure ii) Condition of coatings and corrosion prevention iii) Overall cleanliness of spaces and tanks within the hull 5.1.2 Items, Spaces, and Structures Requiring Visual Examination or Any Type of Nondestructive Testing by the Ow
33、ner The following items, spaces, and structures are also included within the scope of this Guide and will require visual examination or any type of nondestructive testing by the Owner to satisfy HIMP: i) Hatchways, manholes, and other openings in the freeboard deck (bulkhead deck) and enclosed super
34、structure decks. Machinery casings and covers, companionways, and deckhouses protecting openings in freeboard or enclosed-superstructure decks. 2 ABSGUIDE FOR HULL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM .2016 Section 1 Introduction ii) Portlights together with deadcovers, cargo ports, bow or stern entri
35、es, chutes, and similar openings in hull sides or ends, below the freeboard deck or in way of enclosed superstructures. iii) Ventilators, tank vent pipes together with flame screens, and overboard discharges from enclosed spaces on or below the freeboard deck. iv) Watertight bulkheads and end bulkhe
36、ads of enclosed superstructures. v) Spaces located on first tier above the deck that provide immediate access to hull below, which affects the vessels watertight integrity in case of damage or progressive flooding. For example, pump room access. vi) Doors, hatches, and other closing appliances that
37、are required to maintain: Watertight integrity under damage stability criteria and are installed anywhere on the vessel Watertight integrity of compartments/spaces below the main deck Weathertight integrity of compartments and spaces on the first and second tier above the deck vii) Closing appliance
38、s for all of the above, including hatch covers, doors, check valves, together with their respective securing devices, dogs, sills, coaming, and supports. viii) Freeing ports together with bars, shutters, and hinges. ix) Protection of the crew, guard rails, lifelines, gangways, and deckhouses accommo
39、dating crew. x) External hull plating and its main structural members required to be examined by the applicable ABS Rules. This plating includes but is not limited to side shell plating, bilge plating, bottom plating, and deck plating on ship-shaped vessels. For vessels that are not ship-shaped, app
40、licable Rules are to be consulted (e.g., leg well plating on self-elevating units, bracings on semi-submersible units, plating surrounding the moon pool opening on drillships, etc.) xi) Spaces such as ballast water tanks, fresh water tanks, potable water tanks, all types of cargo (dry/liquid/gas) ta
41、nks, fuel/lube oil tanks, cofferdams, voids, and habitable areas that are located below the uppermost continuous deck together with their internal structural members. Internal structural members will normally include longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, web frames, tank top plating, hopper plating
42、, girders, floors, and other stiffening members. On vessels designed to carry liquefied gas (e.g., LNG carriers), examination of special barriers inside cargo tanks are within the scope of HIMP. xii) Spaces or structures that contain Critical Area (CA) throughout the vessel. These areas could be bel
43、ow or above the uppermost continuous deck exposed to weather and will be specifically indicated on hull drawings. For example, modules/stools for main members of topside structures of production units, etc. xiii) Spaces other than ballast tanks, cargo tanks, oil tanks, cofferdams, voids, and habitab
44、le areas that are located below the uppermost continuous deck. For example, access passageways for personnel, elevator shafts/trunks, internal passageways/trunks for emergency exit, chain pipes and lockers below the deck, watertight compartments for speed log and hydrophone, etc. xiv) Foundations su
45、pporting major structural members, equipment or machinery. For example, substructure supporting the drilling deck/platform on mobile offshore drilling units, foundations for anchoring or mooring winches, foundations for deck cranes (not the crane pedestal itself), foundations for dynamic positioning
46、 thrusters, etc xv) Helideck and its supporting structure. Note: Measurements and testing that may be conducted by a QI includes basic inspection items such as measurement of plate/stiffener deflections, operational testing of doors/hatches together with chalk testing of the gaskets, preliminary exa
47、mination of suspect welds by dye-penetrant, etc. ABSGUIDE FOR HULL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM .2016 3 Section 1 Introduction 5.3 Excluded from Scope (1 July 2016) The following spaces and structures are not included within the scope of this Guide and may not require visual examination by the
48、 Owner to satisfy HIMP: i) All enclosed/semi-enclosed spaces and structures other than those mentioned in 1/5.1. ii) Temporary structures installed onboard the vessel (e.g., portable industrial buildings, etc.). iii) Tanks that are located below the deck not integral to the vessels hull structure (e
49、.g., independent fuel oil tanks, etc.). iv) Crane pedestals. v) Open ship-side spaces (e.g., sea chests). Although some of the above listed structures and spaces are not directly within the scope of HIMP, they are required to be examined by the ABS Surveyors in accordance with applicable classification rules or statutory regulations. For example: Sea chests, which are a requirement of Drydocking Survey for classification. Hazardous areas and their adjacent spaces, which are required by the classification rules, and the condition of decks and bulkheads in su
