1、 ABSGUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS .2010 1 GUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS NOVEMBER 2010 NOTICE NO. 2 April 2014 The following Rule Changes were approved by the ABS Rules Committee on 31 March 2014 and become EFFECTIVE AS OF 1 APRIL 2014. (See http:/www.e
2、agle.org for the consolidated version of the Guide for Certification of Container Securing Systems 2010, with all Notices and Corrigenda incorporated.) Notes - The date in the parentheses means the date that the Rule becomes effective for new construction based on the contract date for construction.
3、 (See 1/5.5) SECTION 2 GENERAL (Revise Subsection 2/1, as follows:) 1 Scope (1 April 2014) This Guide sets forth requirements for the certification of the initial installation of container securing systems and lashing calculation computer software aboard vessels classed by ABS. It is to be clearly u
4、nderstood that no representation is made as to the ability of any onboard container to withstand the loads allowed. The allowable loads have been derived from successful usage over a number of years and may exceed the design loads set forth in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Sta
5、ndard 1496-1:1990, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard MH 5.1.1M, the ABS Rules for Certification of Cargo Containers, and similar standards. It is the responsibility of the client, shipowner, or charterer to ascertain that the containers used in the system can withstand the loads
6、applied to them. It is also to be understood that no representation is made as to the absolute validity of the values for dynamic forces from roll, pitch, and heave, vessel vertical center of gravity, container spring constants, and lashing spring constants contained in this Guide. It is the respons
7、ibility of the client, shipowner, or charterer to establish the validity of the values for the above items used in the system. A vessel classed by ABS having an installed container securing system certified by ABS may be distinguished by the additional notation CSC in the Record for unrestricted ser
8、vice. A computer lashing program to calculate forces acting on the container securing arrangements and maximum permissible stack weights for unrestricted service may be installed onboard a vessel, see 9/3.9.4. An onboard computer lashing program installed on a vessel assigned the CSC notation shall
9、be certified in accordance with Appendix 4 of this Guide and the vessel assigned the notation CLP for computer lashing program. A vessel having an installed container securing system certified by ABS for operation in specific voyage trade routes where reduced accelerations are used in the calculatio
10、n of forces acting on the container securing system, see 6/3.7.3, shall have an onboard certified computer lashing program, which is mandatory. Such operation may have a different maximum number and arrangement of containers than the unrestricted voyage trade. The suffix V shall be added to the comp
11、uter lashing program notation, CLP-V, to signify the certification of the computer lashing programs capability to address both unrestricted service and specific voyage routes. Notice No. 2 April 2014 2 ABSGUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS .2010 Typically, vessel stow planning is
12、performed with an onboard computer lashing program that can calculate the maximum permissible stack weights for each individual stack based on the provided container lashing arrangements, and then the permissible stack weights are compared against the actual planned stack weights. Should an actual s
13、tack weight exceed the permissible, corrective action is to be taken by either reducing the stack weight or modifying the lashing arrangement accordingly. Consideration regarding the use of the unrestricted lashing and stack weights or the voyage route-specific service lashing and stack weights rest
14、 with the vessels Master depending on the anticipated conditions to be encountered during the voyage. The following table illustrates the general relationships between the CSC, CLP and CLP-V notations: Container Securing Systems CSC Computer Lashing Program Unrestricted Service Unrestricted Service

19、ON OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS .2010 3 SECTION 6 SECURING SYSTEM DESIGN PRINCIPLES 3 Design Loads (Revise first four paragraphs of Paragraph 6/3.7, as follows:) 3.7 Accelerations (1 April 2014) Containers and their securing systems shall be capable of withstanding the forces generated by the follo
20、wing load combinations for unrestricted service: Condition A: The maximum roll condition generating maximum across-the-deck accelerations, expected in quartering stern or beam seas. Condition B: The maximum pitch condition generating maximum normal-to-deck accelerations, expected in head or near hea
21、d seas. The designer is to ensure that the stowage system satisfies all of the strength criteria for both Condition A and Condition B accelerations. For conventional lashed systems on the deck with containers having properties as listed in Section 3, Table 3, Condition A governs and Condition B need
22、 not be evaluated. For containers stowed in cell guides, Condition B governs and Condition A need not be evaluated. For other configurations, including block stowage in the holds of bulk carriers, Condition A and Condition B are to be evaluated. (Following text remains unchanged.) (Revise definition

31、nd acceptance criteria in this Guide. The software is at least to include all information and perform all calculations or checks as necessary for compliance with the applicable container securing requirements. 3 General Requirements A users manual is to be provided for the lashing software and kept
