Passenger vessels of lesser size will be given special consideration. 1.5 Scope This Chapter is intended to cover the additional hull construction, machinery and safety equipment requirements to class a vessel as a pa
20、ssenger vessel, not contained elsewhere in the Rules. These requirements are applicable to those features that are permanent in nature and can be verified by plan review, calculation, physical survey or any other means. This Chapter is intended for passenger vessels to be used exclusively for the tr
21、ansportation and entertainment of their passengers and, accordingly, does not address requirements associated with transportation of cargo and vehicles. This Chapter does not address the requirements from the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, for operational instructions, Life-Saving Appliances and

When the Administration
27、 or its agent, other than ABS, issues a Passenger Ship Safety Certificate to the vessel, such certificate will be accepted as evidence that the Administration has approved the material, safety equipment, life-saving appliances, etc. With other passenger vessels, the designer or builder will submit e
28、vidence that the Administration has approved the material, safety equipment, lifesaving, etc., for ABSs acceptance on vessels building to class. When given specific instructions from the Administration, ABS may approve and accept the material, equipment, life-saving appliances, etc., fitted on the v
