2、Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword (1 June 2017) This Guide has been prepared by the American Bureau of Shipping to provide Owners guidelines for the lay-up and reactivation of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units. These guidelines are of a general nature due to the wide
3、variety of MODU configurations, geographic and metocean conditions of lay-up sites and degree of maintenance during lay-up. This Guide expands the “Laid-up” status to provide more precise definitions regarding exact status of a stacked unit. This Guide provides the following five options for laid-up
4、 life cycle status for units classed with ABS: i) Laid-up with no Record Comment ii) Laid-up with the following Record Comments: a) Laid-up Warm Stacked b) Laid-up Cold Stacked c) Enhanced Laid-up Warm Stacked d) Enhanced Laid-up Cold Stacked These conditions will be noted in the units survey status
5、 and the Record. This Guide also introduces an “Enhanced” status for a laid up unit, which means that the unit has had its lay-up location and procedures reviewed and verified by ABS in accordance with this Guide. The goal of having a unit enrolled in Enhanced lay-up is to preserve the total asset v
6、alue, potentially qualify for a reduced insurance premium while stacked, along with reducing the time and cost for reactivation. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication. Users are advised to check periodically on the ABS website www.eagle.org to verify that this ver
7、sion of this Guide is the most current. We welcome your feedback.

16、ill review, survey, and confirm by issuance of a factual Lay-up Report, the actions taken to preserve and protect a unit in lay-up. This Guide contains those precautions and procedures considered by ABS to accomplish this objective; alternative approaches to accomplish the same may be considered. 1
17、General i) Upon the owners written notification to ABS of a units lay-up, it will be noted in the units survey status and the Record will be updated to reflect the change in status. Surveys falling due during lay-up are then to be held in abeyance until the unit reactivates, at which time they are t
18、o be brought up to date. ii) The Reactivation Survey requirements for the unit are subject to special considerations based on the survey status at the time of the commencement of lay-up, the length of the lay-up period, and the conditions under which the unit has been maintained during that period.
19、iii) Where initial lay-up preparations and procedures are reviewed and surveyed by ABS, and also verified annually by survey, consideration may be given to deducting part or all of the time in lay-up from the progression of survey intervals, or to modifying the requirements for up-dating surveys at
20、time of reactivation. iv) There are three conditions for a Unit with a Laid-up “Life Cycle State” in the Record, Laid-up with no Record Comment; Laid-up Warm Stacked with the corresponding Record Comment and Laid-up Cold Stacked with the corresponding Record Comment. The Record Comments “Laid-up War
21、m Stacked” and “Laid-up Cold Stacked” can also have the Enhanced modifier, to have Record Comments showing “Enhanced Laid-up Warm Stacked” and “Enhanced Laid-up Cold Stacked”. These conditions are described in Subsection 1/3 below. 3 Definitions 3.1 Life Cycle Status “Laid-up” All laid-up units will
22、 have a Life Cycle Status of “Laid-up”. When a unit has a “Laid-up” Life Cycle Status in the Record without any additional Record Comment, this means that the unit is out of service for an undetermined length of time. The owners have informed ABS that the unit is laid up, but no procedures for lay-u
23、p have been reviewed by ABS. While in laid up status, class surveys are held in abeyance and statutory surveys are maintained when required by the flag Administration. Prior to returning to service a Reactivation Survey in accordance with Section 4 of this Guide, including all due and overdue class
24、and statutory surveys is to be carried out. An initial layup survey and annual surveys are not required for this Life Cycle Status and no attendant Record Comment. Units with lay-up procedures, initial lay-ups surveys and periodic examinations verified by ABS will have additional Record Comments des
25、cribing the type of lay-up as listed below. 3.3 Record Comment “Laid-up Warm Stacked” When a unit has a “Laid-up Warm Stacked” Record Comment in the Record, this means the unit is not in operation, is positioned in a sheltered location and there is a crew onboard carrying out the maintenance and pre
26、servation activities described in the ABS agreed lay-up procedure. In this case, 1/1iii) is applicable. Class surveys are held in abeyance and statutory surveys are maintained when required by the flag Administration. However, annual lay-up surveys are required to be carried out. Prior to returning
27、to service, a reactivation survey taking into account the degree of maintenance conducted while laid-up, including all due and overdue statutory surveys is to be carried out. ABSGUIDE FOR LAY-UP AND REACTIVATION OF MOBILE OFFSHORE DRILLING UNITS .2017 1 Section 1 General 3.5 Record Comment “Laid-up
28、Cold Stacked” When a unit has a “Laid-up Cold Stacked” Record Comment in the Record, this means that the unit is not operating, is positioned in a sheltered location, is unmanned, and that the Lay-up procedures have been reviewed by ABS. In this case, 1/1iii) is applicable. All class and statutory s
29、urveys are held in abeyance. However, annual lay-up surveys are required to be carried out. Prior to returning to service, a reactivation survey taking into account the degree of maintenance conducted while laid-up, including all due and overdue statutory surveys, are to be carried out. 3.7 “Enhance
30、d” Record Comment The goal of having a unit enrolled in the Enhanced Lay-up program is to manage the lifecycle and asset value by minimizing risk exposure, along with reducing the time and cost for reactivation. In addition to the requirements of Laid-up Warm Stacked or Laid-up Cold Stacked, when a
31、unit has an “Enhanced Lay-up” Record Comment in the Record, this means that the unit has had its lay-up location and procedures reviewed and verified in accordance with Section 2 of this Guide. For this Record Comment, a review of the proposed lay-up procedure, including the location chosen, the moo
32、rings, a risk analysis of the location, and the capability of emergency response is required. The Record Comment will show in the Record as follows: Enhanced Laid-up Cold Stacked Enhanced Laid-up Warm Stacked 5 Lay-up Surveys When a unit is laid-up with a “Laid-up Warm Stacked”, “Laid-up Cold Stacke
33、d”, or “Enhanced” Record Comment in the Record, an Initial Lay-up Survey is required. After being laid up, the unit will also be subjected to periodic surveys. The scope of such surveys will consist of verification of all items on the ABS agreed lay-up procedure. In the case of “Cold Stacked” units,
34、 in addition to the verification detailed in Subsection 2/7 of this Guide, the equivalent to an Annual Hull Survey is to be carried out. In the case of “Warm Stacked” units, in addition to the verification listed in Subsection 2/7 of this Guide, the equivalent to an Annual Hull Survey and an Annual
35、Machinery Survey is to be carried out. Units with “Enhanced Lay-up” will have verification requirements in accordance with Subsection 3/3 of this Guide in addition to those in Subsection 2/7. 7 Maintenance of Record Comment When the unit has a Record Comment of “Laid-up Warm Stacked”, “Laid-up Cold
36、Stacked”, or “Enhanced”, consideration may be given to deducting part or all of the time in lay-up from the progression of survey intervals, or to modifying the requirements for updating surveys at the time of reactivation. The unit will not be eligible for deduction of any time in lay-up from the s
37、urvey cycle in any of the following circumstances: i) If the periodical surveys required for maintenance of the Record Comment are not carried out by their due dates and no extension has been granted ii) If recommendations issued by the Surveyor regarding degree of compliance with the lay-up procedu
38、re are not carried out by their due dates and no extension has been granted iii) If any damage, failure, or repair has not been completed as recommended 2 ABSGUIDE FOR LAY-UP AND REACTIVATION OF MOBILE OFFSHORE DRILLING UNITS .2017 Section 1 General 9 Lay-up Overview Record Comment None Laid-up Cold
