3、gislature of the State of New York 1862 Copyright 2015 American Bureau of Shipping ABS Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Updates March 2016 consolidation includes: December 2015 version plus Notice No. 1 Commentary Commentary The SOLAS Chapter V/Reg.20, as amended, requires that Voy
4、age Data Recorders (VDR) are to be installed on vessels on or after 1 July 2002*, (*an implementation schedule is set by IMO based on date of construction, type and/or size of vessels). This has affected the ABS Guide for Hull Condition Monitoring System, which necessitated implementing appropriate
5、changes to the Guide. Accordingly, the necessary changes occurred for the HM3 notation and are as follows: 1. “Voyage Data Recorders” (“VDR”) replaces the term “Voyage Data Monitors” (“VDM”) in order to align the Guides nomenclature with SOLAS. 2. Since Voyage Data Recorders (VDR) are mandatory, the
6、 Full VDM option is reclassified as VDR and the Qualified VDM option is deleted. 3. Approved by an Administration, VDRs would be acceptable in partial fulfillment for the HM3 VDR notation, provided that additional requirements set by the Guide above those required by IMO Res. A.861(20) are met. Thes
7、e are the existing requirements: a. Data recorded is to be kept for at least 24 hours (v.s. 12 hours for IMO) before it is overwritten. b. System is to operate from an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with at least four (4) hours (v.s. 2 hours for IMO) backup. Foreword Foreword (15 December 2015)
8、This Guide discusses the need for the fitting of Hull Condition Monitoring Systems on vessels, describes the uses to which they and the data they acquire can be put, gives performance specifications for the various types of systems and lays down criteria against which ABS can award notations that wi
9、ll be entered in the ABS Record. It is applicable to all types and sizes of merchant vessels. The scope of the system, the nature of the display and the form and aims of data processing are largely decisions that should to be made by the vessels Owners in conjunction with the system suppliers. Howev
10、er, ABS is prepared and able to give advice and assistance in this respect. The condition monitoring systems covered by this Guide extend from simple one-motion monitoring systems to sophisticated voyage data recorders covering a multitude of hull, systems and machinery parameters. The overall Hull
11、Condition Monitoring process is one of: Data measurement Data collection and conditioning Data processing and evaluation Results presentation and storage The reason for fitting hull monitoring systems is to acquire, display and/or record information and then use the information as a basis for making
12、 decisions that will improve operational efficiency and/or safety. As ABS is primarily interested in the enhanced safety aspects that can be obtained by the correct use of monitoring systems, any vessel fitted with a system and complying with the requirements of this Guide will be awarded appropriat
13、e notations for entry in the ABS Record. The Performance Specification of a Hull Condition Monitoring system must depend to a large extent on what the system is intended to do. It is not possible in a Guide such as this to be specific about all possible systems. The Guide concentrates on what to do
14、rather than on how to do it. In some cases, there will be mutual benefit to ABS and the Owner for output to be made available to ABS for improving safety in accordance with the ABS mission. This will be the subject of separate discussions with the Owner. ABSGUIDE FOR HULL CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM
15、S .2015 iii This edition of the Guide supersedes the 1995 Guide. It includes new notations to cover a broad range of hull monitoring aspects and requirements. See the table in 1/3.1. This Guide becomes effective on 15 December 2015. Users are advised to check periodically on the ABS website www.eagl

24、quested. 2 Scope This Guide covers hull monitoring systems used for motion monitoring, stress monitoring and voyage data monitoring. Monitors covered include those for collection of data over a period of time for subsequent evaluation ashore, and those for immediate interpretation of processed data
25、for use by vessels operating personnel. 3 Symbols (15 December 2015) 3.1 HM1, HM2, HM3 At the request of the Owners or Shipyard, a hull condition monitoring system which complies with the requirements of this Guide will be distinguished in the Record by the symbols HM1, HM2, HM3, as appropriate, fol
26、lowed by the appropriate notation such as Slam Warning, Green Seas Warning, Ship Motion, Sea State, Hull Girder Stress, Local Load Monitoring, Fatigue Monitor, LC (loading computer data link), VDR, Enhanced VDR, Navigation, Wind, Shaft Monitoring, and SL (shore data link). In addition, optional nota
27、tions specifying the required type of monitoring devices of the monitoring system in compliance with this Guide, together with a digit specifying the number of devices installed or the number of measurements, will also be assigned as needed. The symbols include: MOT (ship motion sensors), ACS (ship
28、acceleration sensors), PT (pressure transducers), ST (sea state monitoring devices), HS (hull girder strain gauges), LS (strain gauges for local stress monitoring), WD (wind state monitoring devices), TM (shaft torque meters), and RC (shaft revolution counters). For example, the class notation HM1 (
29、Slam Warning: ACS1, Ship Motion: MOT2, Sea State: ST1) is assigned to a vessel having the capability of slam warning with one accelerometer monitoring the acceleration along one axis, two devices monitoring ship motion and one device monitoring the sea state. The notations and symbols are demonstrat
30、ed in the following table.

39、eneral 5 Alternatives ABS will consider arrangements which can be shown to be effective in meeting the overall standards of the Guide. ABSGUIDE FOR HULL CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEMS .2015 3 Section 2: System Type Requirements SECTION 2 System Type Requirements 1 HM1 Motion Monitoring 1.1 Application
40、 Where requested by the owner, the symbols HM1 and the appropriate notation such as Green Seas Warning will be assigned to vessels having hull condition monitoring systems for motion monitoring in compliance with this Subsection. For the purpose of this Subsection, motion monitoring systems measure
41、rotational and/or translational movement using motion monitoring devices such as accelerometers, vertical reference gyroscopes, pitot and Doppler logs, wave height sensors and servo inclinometers. Motion monitoring systems are to be identified by their main function or purpose, and it is this that w
42、ill form the descriptive part of the notation awarded, as indicated in the following paragraphs. Requirements for the most common types of systems are provided in 2/1.2, 2/1.3 and 2/1.4. 1.2 Slam Warning 1.2.1 System Requirements The Slam Warning monitor is to warn the vessels operating personnel in
43、 advance that the vessel is in sea or operating conditions approaching those that could induce wave slams that could lead to either local or hull girder structural damage. Slam warning monitors are to show the trend over time in relation to the slam wave impact that would exceed the selected warning
44、 levels. 1.2.2 Warning Levels Structural damage warning levels on displays and alarm levels are to be set taking into account the approved scantlings and their conditions of approval. The criteria to judge the approaching occurrence of slams is to be derived from calculations, model tests or full-sc
45、ale trial results, and are to be submitted for review. The method for deriving the criteria is to reflect the operations of the type of vessel being fitted. 1.2.3 Sensor Types Slam warning is to be carried out by the use of accelerometers measuring the vertical bow motion or pressure transducers mea
46、suring the relative motions of the vessel and the sea surface. Acceptable methods of identifying impacts include: 1.2.3(a) Accelerometers (15 December 2015). The accelerometers are to be capable of recognizing a decaying vibratory shape on the acceleration signal at the frequency of the 2-node mode
47、of vibration of the vessel using spectral analysis or other techniques. The severity of the impact is indicated by the amplitude of the vibration. Measurement signals are to be processed and displayed on the bridge for monitoring accelerations, including vibrations extractable from acceleration data
48、. An optional notation ACS, together with a digit can be assigned to indicate the installation of accelerometers monitoring acceleration along one axis for slam monitoring, and the number of accelerometers installed. For example, ACS1 indicates that one sensor is installed monitoring acceleration al
49、ong one axis. 1.2.3(b) Pressure Transducers (15 December 2015). The deployment of pressure gauges is to cover the slamming impact areas, such that gauges are able to emerge from the water. The severity of impact is indicated by the re-entry pressure. An optional notation PT together with a digit can be assigned to indicate the installation and the number of pressure transducers for slam monitoring purposes. 4 ABSGUIDE FOR HULL CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEMS .2015 Section 2 System Type Requirements 1.3 Green Seas Warnin
