6、OR SERVICE ON THE GREAT LAKES .2017 1 Notices and General Information Introduction For the year 2017 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Bulk Carriers for Service on the Great Lakes, the Rules have been re-organized and re-formatted for the purpose of improving their ease of use. In this
7、regard, we advise the following primary changes. 1. The year 2017 edition is a complete re-print of the Great Lakes Bulk Carrier Rules. 2. A new numbering system was incorporated into the Rules, in accordance with Table 2, which organizes the requirements into “Parts,” “Chapters” and “Sections”. A c
8、omparison of the old “1978” numbering system versus the new “2017” numbering system is shown in Appendix 1 as a guide map for users who are familiar with the existing Rules. 3. The 2017 edition of the Rules becomes effective on 1 January 2017. 4. The effective date of each technical change is shown
9、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 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1995) 15 May 1995 (1999) 12 May 1999 (199

The Rule Changes contained in the previously published Notices 1 through 4 to the 1978 Great Lakes Bulk Carrier Rules (together with Corrigenda) have been incorporated into the text of the
11、reformatted 2017 Great Lakes Bulk Carrier Rules. 6. Until the next edition of the Great Lakes Bulk Carrier Rules is published, Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www.eagle.org and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to pub
12、lish hard copies of future Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Bulk Carriers for Service on the Great Lakes, which includes Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition, will be published on t
13、he ABS website only when Notices and/or Corrigenda are issued. 7.

22、Part 1, “Conditions of Classification” was consolidated into a generic booklet, entitled Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1) for all vessels other than those in offshore service. The purpose of this consolidation was to emphasize the common applicability of the classification requirement
23、s in “Part 1” to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make “Conditions of Classification” more readily a common Rule of the various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. Thus, this supplement specifies only the unique requirements applicable to bul
24、k carriers for service on the Great Lakes. This supplement is always to be used with the aforementioned Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1).

29、tions and Symbols” is available from the ABS website “http:/www.eagle.org”. The following notations are specific to bulk carriers for service on the Great Lakes. 1 Great Lakes Service Vessels which have been built under the supervision of the ABS Surveyors to the requirements of the ABS Rules for Bu
30、ilding and Classing Steel Vessels, except where these are modified by the requirements contained in these Rules, or to their equivalent, will be classed and distinguished in the Record by the symbols null A1 Great Lakes Service. 3 Unloading Equipment Where the vessel has been specially arranged and
31、provided with special equipment for unloading, it will be distinguished in the Record with an appropriate notation regarding the arrangements. 5 Heavy Density Cargoes Where the vessel has been specially reinforced for the carriage of heavy-density cargoes, special loading arrangements, or both, it w
32、ill be distinguished in the Record with a notation describing the special arrangements. Full particulars of the loading conditions and the maximum density of the cargoes to be provided for are to be given on the basic design plans. 8 ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING BULK CARRIERS FOR SERVICE ON TH

34、t, at least one complete deck, a double bottom and side tanks, a longitudinal system of framing for the deck and bottom, and two continuous longitudinal bulkheads fitted between the freeboard deck and the bottom shell. They are intended to apply generally to vessels of welded construction, of usual
35、form and having depths not less than L/15 at 400 ft (122 m) length and L/21 at 700 ft (213 m) length and over. Vessels whose proportions and general characteristics represent departures from the foregoing and whose scantlings and arrangements differ from those specifically mentioned elsewhere in the
36、se Rules be subject to special consideration. These requirements are applicable to those features that are permanent in nature and can be verified by plan review, calculation, physical survey, or other appropriate means. Any statement in the Rules regarding other features is to be considered as a gu
37、idance to the designer, builder, Owner, et al.
