3、D CLASSING STEEL VESSELS .2016 Notices and General Information Introduction 1. The year 2016 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels consists of the eleven (11) booklets as shown in Table 1. In this regard, we would bring the following to the users attention: a) The purpose of t
4、he generic title ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1) is to reflect the expanded contents of PART 1, as a result of including consolidated requirements for “Classification” applicable to all types of and sizes of vessels, barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., excep
5、t for those in offshore service, as specified in the Foreword to Part 1. b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2) of PART 2 is to emphasize the common applicability of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machin
6、ery, and thereby make PART 2 more readily a common “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. c) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) is to reflect the expanded contents of PART 7, as a result of including consolidated requirements for “Surve
7、ys After Construction” applicable to all types and sizes of vessels, barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., as specified in Part 7, Chapter 1, Section 1. 2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 3. The primary changes from the 2015 edition of the Rules are
8、 identified and listed in Table 3. The effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2016, unless specifically indicated otherwise. 4. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part
9、. Unless a particular date and month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates: (2000) and after 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1996) 9 May 1996 (1999) 12 May 1999 (1995) 15 May 1995 (1998) 13 May 1998 (1994) 9 May 1994 (1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993 F
10、or certain changes that have a major impact on shipyards, designers and vendors, ABS has instituted a two-year Rule cycle to give the industry more time to prepare for these changes. The text of these changes will appear in a box along with the effective date just under the existing Rule requirement
11、. 5. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels is published, Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www. eagle.org only, and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to publish hard copies of futur
12、e Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels, which includes Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition, will be published on the ABS website only when Rule Ch
13、ange Notices and/or Corrigenda are issued. 6. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS website http:/www.eagle.org/absdownloads/index.cfm for download.

18、licable for single side skin and double side skin bulk carriers of 90m in length and upward, with structural arrangements as specified in Part 5A, Pt 1, Ch 1, Sec 1, 1.2. For vessels intended to carry ore or bulk cargoes, other than the single side skin or double side skin bulk carriers of 90 m in l
19、ength and upward with structural arrangements as specified in Part 5A, Pt 1 and Part 5B, Pt 2, Ch 1, the requirements in Part 5C, Chapters 3 or 4 are to be complied with. Application ABS Construction Monitoring Program These compulsory requirements for CSR notation are specified in Part 5C, Appendix
20、 2.
