5、occurred since the previous edition was issued. Changes to the technical criteria include revisions made to other pertinent ABS Rules that are the basis of SPM criteria; such as, the introduction of an adjustment factor (Q) to account for higher strength steels in the determination of buoy scantling
6、s. Also the section on Moorings and Anchoring Section (3-4-1, herein) has been updated to reflect industry practice and to specifically allow the option to use the criteria found in the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations for this topic. iv ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND

The year 2014 edition of the Rules for
12、 Building and Classing Single Point Moorings consists of the six (6) booklets as shown in Table 1. With regard to two booklets, Part 1 and Part 2: a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1) is to reflect the expanded contents
13、 of PART 1, as a result of including consolidated requirements for “Classification” applicable to all types of and sizes of units, installations, vessels or systems in offshore service, etc., as specified in the Foreword to Part 1. Additional specific requirements are contained in Part 1 of these Ru
14、les for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings. b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding of PART 2 is to emphasize the common applicability of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2
15、more readily a common “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. 2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 3. The changes contained in the previously published Notices 1 and 2 to the 1996 Rules for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings (together with Corrig
16、enda items) have also been incorporated into the text of the 2014 Rules for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings. 4. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular d
17、ate and month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates: (2000) and after 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1996) 9 May 1996 (1999) 12 May 1999 (1995) 15 May 1995 (1998) 13 May 1998 (1994) 9 May 1994 (1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993 5. Until the next editio
18、n of the Rules for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings s is published, Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www. eagle.org only, and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to publish hard copies of future Notices and/or Corrigenda
19、to existing Rules or Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings, which includes Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition, will be published on the ABS website only when Notices and/or Corrigenda are issued. 6.

28、ns of Classification Whole Part The requirements for “Conditions of Classification” in Part 1 of the 1996 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings were relocated to the generic ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1), which includ
29、es consolidated requirements applicable to all offshore units and structures. Those classification requirements specific to single point moorings were retained in a supplemental Part 1 of the SPM Rules. In the list below, references to the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units an

37、oklet the Pipeline End Manifold, PLEM, (or similar equipment) associated with the SPM may be exempted from the scope of Classification. The manner used to control the flow of fluid between a subsea pipeline and the visiting vessel is to be fully described in documentation provided to ABS when reques
38、ting this exemption. As appropriate, the Classification Designation used when the PLEM is excluded from the scope of classification is Single Point Mooring (excl. PLEM). The following portions of these Rules will not apply when the PLEM is excluded from the scope of classification: 3-2-2/17, 4-1-4/9
39、 and items pertinent to the PLEM in 5-1-1/Table 2. It is the Owners responsibility to verify that the exclusion of the PLEM from ABS design review and survey is acceptable to the governmental authority having jurisdiction over the SPM. 1.5 Unconventional Designs These Rules apply to conventional SPM
40、 designs. A conventional SPM provides temporary offshore mooring to a variety of visiting vessels by means of a hawser or yoke from the buoy or fixed tower. Fluid transfer between the visiting vessel and a sea floor pipeline is performed by an underbuoy hose or riser, and a hose between the buoy or
41、tower and the visiting vessel. An example of a mooring system design that differs from the above concept is one characterized as a detachable turret-type system. In this case the visiting vessel has a unique mating assembly used to join the buoy and the vessel. The mating assembly may be located ins
42、ide the hull of the visiting vessel, or the assembly may be mounted externally at an end of the vessel. Fluid flow may occur through jumper hoses or piping between the buoy and vessel. The applicability of these Rules to an unconventional design will be decided by ABS on a case-by-case basis. In suc
43、h a case, the criteria in these Rules may need to be supplemented or replaced by criteria in the FPI Rules.

44、RINGS .2014 3 Single Point Moorings Not Built Under Survey SPMs which have not been built under the supervision of the ABS Surveyors, but which are submitted for classification, will be subject to a special classification survey. Where found satisfactory, and thereafter approved by the Classificatio
45、n Committee, they will be classed and distinguished in the Record in the manner as described as in 1-1-2/1 but the mark “null” signifying the survey during construction will be omitted. 5 Single Point Mooring as a Part of a Floating Production System (2011) SPMs built under survey for use as part of
46、 the mooring system for a classed floating production system do not require a separate classification under these Rules. Requirements for mooring systems of floating production systems are found in the FPI Rules. 7 Classification Data Data on single point moorings will be published in the Record as
47、to the latitude and longitude of the location of the mooring, the length overall and displacement of the ship it is designed to moor, the depth of water at the site, maximum hawser tension where applicable, and general types of cargo and other fluids which the mooring is designed to handle ABSRULES

49、are generally intended for temporary moored vessels. These Rules are applicable to those features of the system that are permanent in nature and can be verified by plan review, calculation, physical survey or other appropriate means.
