4、by designers, builders, Owners and Operators in the offshore industry. The requirements contained in these Rules are for design, construction, and survey after construction of the floating installation (including hull structure, equipment and marine machinery), the position mooring system and the hy
5、drocarbon production facilities. Floating installations of the ship-type, column-stabilized-type, tension leg platforms and spar installations are included, as well as existing vessels converted to FPIs. The requirements for optional notations for disconnectable floating installations, dynamic posit
6、ioning systems and import/export systems are also provided. These Rules are to be used in conjunction with other ABS Rules and Guides, as specified herein. The effective date of these Rules is 1 January 2016. In general, until the effective date, plan approval for designs will follow prior practice
7、unless review under these Rules is specifically requested by the party signatory to the application for classification. Changes to Conditions of Classification (1 January 2008) For the 2008 edition, Part 1, Chapter 1, “Scope and Conditions of Classification” was consolidated into a generic booklet,
8、entitled Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1) for all units, installations, vessels or systems in offshore service. The purpose of this consolidation was to emphasize the common applicability of the classification requirements in “Part 1, Chapter 1” to ABS-cl
9、assed offshore units, pipelines, risers, and other offshore structures, and thereby make “Conditions of Classification” more readily a common Rule of the various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. Thus, Part 1, Chapter 1 of these Rules specifies only the unique requirements applicable to floating
10、 production installations. These supplemental requirements are always to be used with the aforementioned Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1). ii ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING FLOATING PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS .2016 Table of Contents RULES FOR BUILDING A

18、S FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING FLOATING PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS .2016 1 Notices and General Information Introduction 1. The 2016 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations consists of the seven (7) Parts as shown in Table 1. In general these seven Parts subdivide
19、these Rules into parts that are more consistent with other ABS Rules. With regard to two Parts, 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 of PART 1, as a result of incl
20、uding 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 Rules for Building and Classing F
21、loating Production Installations. 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 more readily a comm
22、on “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. 2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 3. The primary changes from the 2014 Rules are identified and listed in Table 3. The effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2016, unless specifically indica
23、ted otherwise. 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 date and month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates: (2000) and after
24、 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 For certain changes that have a major impact on shipyards, designers and vendors, ABS has instituted a two-year Rule cycle to give
25、 the industry more time to prepare for these changes. The text of these changes will appear in a box along with the effective date just under the existing Rule requirement. 5. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations is published, Notices and/or
26、 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 to existing Rules or Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing
27、Floating Production Installations, 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.
