4、 As the demand for additional accommodations of offshore personnel grows to support the offshore oil and gas industry, it is envisage that there will be a growth in the use of offshore accommodation barges. Noting the special design and operational characteristics of accommodation barges, ABS has de
5、veloped this Guide to establish the classification requirements for this type of barges. The requirements contained within this Guide include either via direct inclusion or a reference to other ABS Rules or Guides as well as IMO Regulations in existence prior to the issuance of this Guide. The requi
6、rements in this Guide are applicable to accommodation barges of a conventional barge displacement hull. For column stabilized or self-elevating accommodation units please refer to the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units. This Guide references relevant international Regulations
7、and guidelines that are considered to be applicable. While it is the intent of the Guide to be consistent with these Regulations and guidelines, it is the ultimate responsibility of the users of this Guide to refer to the most recent text of those Regulations and guidelines. This Guide is to be used
8、 in conjunction with other Rules published by ABS and IMO Regulations. This Guide is for the use of designers, builders, owners and operators of accommodation barges and specifies the ABS requirements for obtaining the classification notation A1 Accommodation Barge. This Guide supersedes the ABS Pre
9、liminary Rules for Building and Classing Accommodation Barges and Hotel Barges issued in 1989 and 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 version of this Guide is the most current. We

Additional requirements specific to accommodation barges are contained wit
31、hin this Guide. 3 Application This Guide is applicable to non-self-propelled floating marine structures which operate offshore as accommodation barges as defined in Subsection 2/3. The marine structure referred to herein is a displacement hull. This Guide is intended for offshore accommodation barge
32、s designed and constructed of steels having the properties as specified in ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2). The use of steels or other materials that have properties different from those specified in Part 2, as well as the corresponding scantlings, are subject to special considerations.
33、 This Guide is intended to cover the requirements specific to accommodation barges. The structural requirements are to comply with the applicable requirements of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Barges (Barge Rules). Requirements for accommodation units utilizing self-elevating and colu
34、mn-stabilized hulls are addressed separately in the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units (MOU Guide). Gangways to other platforms/installations/vessels, and any other aspect of combined operations are beyond scope of this Guide. 5 Classification Symbols and Notations A listing o
35、f Classification Symbols and Notations available to the Owners of vessels, offshore drilling and production units, and other marine structures and systems, “List of ABS Notations and Symbols”, is available from the ABS website “www.eagle.org”. The following notations are specific to accommodation ba
36、rges. 5.1 Class Notations 5.1.1 Barges Built under ABS Survey Accommodation barges built to the satisfaction of the ABS Surveyors to the full requirements of this Guide, or to its equivalent, where approved by the Committee for service may be classed and distinguished in the Record by the symbols A1
37、 Accommodation Barge, indicating compliance with the requirements of the Guide and including compliance with the machinery requirements. 5.1.2 Barges Not Built under ABS Survey Accommodation barges not built under ABS survey, but submitted for ABS classification, are subjected to special classificat
38、ion surveys. Where found satisfactory and thereafter approved by ABS, they may be classed and distinguished in the Record by A1 Accommodation Barge, as the case may be, but the symbol signifying survey during construction will be omitted.

39、OR BUILDING AND CLASSING ACCOMMODATION BARGES .2014 5.3 Limited Service Accommodation barges built to the satisfaction of the ABS Surveyors to special modified requirements for limited or restricted services and approved by ABS for that particular service, are to be classed and distinguished in the
40、Record by the symbols and notations as described in 1/5.1 above, followed by or including the appropriate service limitation. Also see Appendix 1. 5.5 Machinery and Systems Machinery and systems for accommodation barges are to comply with the requirements specified in Section 8 of this Guide. Thrust
41、er machinery and systems used for short field moves (consisting of moving the barge from one work location to another location within the same area of operation, that is conducted in daylight up to 20 miles in distance or 8 hours in duration) of non-propelled units and complying with the requirement
42、s of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels (Steel Vessel Rules) as applied to self-propelled barges, manufactured and installed under ABS survey and found satisfactory after trials, will be distinguished in the Record by the notation AMS-NP, as appropriate. 5.7 Automatic or Remote Co
43、ntrol and Monitoring Systems For automatic or remote control and monitoring systems of the machinery other than the propulsion machinery as referenced in Subsection 1/1 of the ABS Guide for Automatic or Remote Control and Monitoring for Machinery and Systems (other than Propulsion) on Offshore Insta
44、llations, ABS will consider additional classifications with symbols AMCC or AMCCU, as appropriate, provided that the applicable requirements of the ABS Guide for Automatic or Remote Control and Monitoring for Machinery and Systems (other than Propulsion) on Offshore Installations are satisfied. 5.9
45、Special Purpose At the request of the Owner, accommodation barges that comply with the requirements in Section 5-1-2 of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels (OSV Rules) and the Code of Safety for Special Purpose Ships (SPS Code) adopted by the IMO Maritime Safety Committe
46、e as Resolution MSC 266(84) (SPS Code) will be assigned the class notation SPS. 7 Flag State Administration Requirements additional to those given in Section 3 through 11 of the Guide may be imposed by the flag Administration with whom the accommodation barge is registered or by the Administration w
47、ithin whose territorial jurisdiction the accommodation barge is intended to operate. Approval of safety plans of the accommodation barge (such as fire safety measures and features, lifesaving appliances and equipment, radio communication installations, and subdivisions and stability etc.) by a flag
48、Administration, in accordance with requirements equivalent to those by class, may be considered as complying with the class requirements provided such approval can be satisfactorily documented. 9 Submission of Plans Plans and specifications specified in the following sections, together with supporti
49、ng calculations as appropriate, are to be submitted before proceeding with the work. Detailed listing of plans can be found in Sections 3 through 11. Plans should generally be submitted electronically to ABS. However, hard copies will also be accepted. 9.1 Materials This Guide is intended for accommodation barges designed and constructed of steels having the properties as specified in the ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2). The use of steels or other materials that have properties different from those specified in ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2),
