23、, as far as practicable. 1.5 Classification Notations Classification notations are assigned to a vessel to indicate compliance with particular portions of the Rules. The following classification notations define compliance with specific requirements of the Rules for machinery: AMS indicates that a v
24、essel complies with all machinery requirements in Part 4, other than the requirements associated with the other classification notations below. AMS is mandatory for all self-propelled vessels. ACC indicates that in a self-propelled vessel, in lieu of manning the propulsion machinery space locally, i
25、t is intended to monitor the propulsion machinery space and to control and monitor the propulsion and auxiliary machinery from a continuously manned centralized control station. Where such a centralized control station is installed, the provisions of Section 4-9-5 are to be complied with. Upon verif
26、ication of compliance, ACC will be assigned. ACCU indicates that a self-propelled vessel is fitted with various degrees of automation and with remote monitoring and control systems to enable the propulsion machinery space to be periodically unattended and the propulsion control to be effected primar
27、ily from the navigation bridge. Where periodically unattended propulsion machinery space is intended, the provisions of Section 4-9-6 are to be complied with. Upon verification of compliance, ACCU will be assigned. APS indicates that a self-propelled vessel is fitted with athwartship thrusters. APS
28、is optional for all self-propelled vessels fitted with such thrusters and signifies compliance with applicable requirements of Section 4-3-5. PAS indicates that a non-self-propelled vessel is fitted with thrusters for the purpose of assisting the movement or maneuvering. PAS is only assigned when re
29、quested by the Owner and signifies compliance with applicable requirements of Section 4-3-5. DPS-0, -1, -2, or -3 indicates that a vessel, self-propelled or non-self-propelled, is fitted with a dynamic positioning system. The numerals (-0, -1, -2 or -3) indicates the degree of redundancy in the dyna
30、mic positioning system. DPS is assigned only when requested by the owners and signifies compliance with the ABS Guide for Dynamic Positioning Systems. The above class notations, where preceded by the symbol (Maltese cross; e.g., AMS), signify that compliance with these Rules was verified by ABS duri
31、ng construction of the vessel. This includes survey of the machinery at the manufacturers plant (where required), during installation on board the vessel and during trials. Where an existing vessel, not previously classed by ABS, is accepted for class, these class notations are assigned without . AB

33、alternative standard, in lieu of the requirements in the Rules. This, however, is subject to such standards being determined by ABS as being not less effective than the Rules. Where applicable, requirements may be imposed by ABS in addition to those contained in the alternative standard to assure th
34、at the intent of the Rules is met. In all cases, the equipment, component or system is subject to design review, survey during construction, tests and trials, as applicable, by ABS for purposes of verification of its compliance with the alternative standard. The verification process is to be to the
35、extent as intended by the Rules. See also 1-1-1/1. 1.9 Definitions Definitions of terms used are defined in the chapter, sections or subsections where they appear. The following are terms that are used throughout Part 4. 1.9.1 Control Station A location where controllers or actuator are fitted, with
36、 monitoring devices, as appropriate, for purposes of effecting desired operation of specific machinery. Control Station is defined exclusively for purposes of Part 4, Chapter 7 “Fire Safety Systems,” as intended by SOLAS, in 4-7-1/11.21. Centralized Control Station is used in Part 4, Chapter 9 “Auto
37、mation” to refer to the space or the location where the following functions are centralized: Controlling propulsion and auxiliary machinery, Monitoring propulsion and auxiliary machinery, and Monitoring the propulsion machinery space. 1.9.2 Machinery Space Machinery Space is any space that contains
38、propulsion machinery, boilers, oil fuel units, steam and internal combustion engines, generators and major electrical machinery, oil filling stations, air conditioning and ventilation machinery, refrigerating machinery, stabilizing machinery or other similar machinery, including the trunks to the sp
39、ace. Machinery space is to include “machinery space of category A”, which, as defined in 4-7-1/11.15, is a space and trunks to that space which contains: Internal combustion machinery used for main propulsion; or Internal combustion machinery used for purposes other than main propulsion where such m
40、achinery has in the aggregate a total power output of not less than 375 kW (500 hp); or Any oil-fired boiler (including similar oil-fired equipment such as inert gas generators, incinerators, waste disposal units, etc.) or oil fuel unit (see definition in 4-7-1/11.19). 1.9.3 Essential Services (2004
41、) For definition of essential services, see 4-8-1/7.3.3. 1.9.4 Hazardous Area Areas where flammable or explosive gases, vapors or dust are normally present or likely to be present are known as hazardous areas. Hazardous areas are, however, more specifically defined for certain machinery installation
42、s, storage spaces and cargo spaces that present such hazard, e.g.: Helicopter refueling facilities, see 4-8-4/27.3.3; Paint stores, see 4-8-4/27.3.3; Cargo oil tanks and other spaces of oil carriers; see 5C-1-7/31.5; Ro-ro cargo spaces; see 5C-10-4/3.7.2. 4 ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING STEEL V
43、ESSELS .2017 Part 4 Vessel Systems and Machinery Chapter 1 General Section 1 Classification of Machinery 4-1-1 1.9.5 Toxic or Corrosive Substances Toxic Substances (solid, liquid or gas) are those that possess the common property of being liable to cause death or serious injury or to harm human heal
44、th if swallowed or inhaled, or by skin contact. Corrosive Substances (solid or liquid) are those, excluding saltwater, that possess in their original stage the common property of being able through chemical action to cause damage by coming into contact with living tissues, the vessel or its cargoes,
45、 when escaped from their containment. 1.9.6 Dead Ship Condition (2004) Dead ship condition means a condition under which: i) The main propulsion plant, boilers and auxiliary machinery are not in operation due to the loss of the main source of electrical power, and ii) In restoring propulsion, the st
46、ored energy for starting the propulsion plant, the main source of electrical power and other essential auxiliary machinery is assumed to not be available. 1.9.7 Blackout (2004) Blackout situation means the loss of the main source of electrical power resulting in the main and auxiliary machinery to b
47、e out of operation. 3 Certification of Machinery 3.1 Basic Requirements The Rules define, to varying degrees, the extent of evaluation required for products, machinery, equipment and their components based on the level of criticality of each of those items. There are three basic evaluation constitue
48、nts: Design review; type/prototype testing, as applicable; Survey during construction and testing at the plant of manufacture; and Survey during installation on board the vessel and at trials. Where design review is required by the Rules, a letter will be issued by ABS upon satisfactory review of th
49、e plans to evidence the acceptance of the design. In addition to, or independent of, design review, ABS may require survey and testing of forgings, castings and component parts at the various manufacturers plants, as well as survey and testing of the finished product. A certificate or report will be issued upon satisfactory completion of each survey to evidence acceptance of the forging, casting, component or finished product. Design review, survey and the issuance of reports or certificates constitute the certification of machinery. Based on
