3、Information Introduction 1. ABS Rules and Guides are developed and updated to keep pace with the offshore industry. This has resulted in a complex library of Rules and Guides. Many requirements are repeated throughout the ABS Rules and Guides making use and maintenance of Rules/Guides more challengi
4、ng. To address the duplication of requirements and to provide a set of Rules that is easier to navigate, ABS is consolidating Rules for both Vessels and Offshore Units. For offshore units, the Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units and the Guide for Building and Classing Mobi
5、le Offshore Units are being consolidated into the Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units (the Mobile Offshore Unit Rules). For the period from 1 January 2018 to 1 January 2020, designers can choose to use the Mobile Offshore Unit Rules or the applicable MODU Rules or MOU Guide. On 1 J
6、anuary 2020 the MODU Rules and MOU Guide will be withdrawn and only the Mobile Offshore Unit Rules will remain for the design of offshore units. 2. The year 2018 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units consists of the ten (10) booklets as shown in Table 1. The purpose of
7、 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 including consolidated requirements for “Classification” applicable to all types of offshore units, pipelines, risers, and other offshore
8、 structures, as specified in the Foreword to Part 1. The supplemental requirements previously contained in individual Rules and Guides have been consolidated into Chapters of Part 1. With regard to Part 2, the purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding is to emphasize the commo
9、n applicability of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2 more readily a common “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. The Rules for steel, aluminum, and FRP materials have been consolidated into a sin
10、gle Part 2. Part 8 is a new Part that covers additional requirements for each type of unit (Drilling and Non-drilling Units). The requirements for drilling units have been relocated from Parts 3 through 6 of the MODU Rules. The requirements for non-drilling units are based on the MOU Guide. 3. The n
11、umbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 4. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units is published, Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www. eagle.org only, and will be available free for
12、 downloading. It is not intended to publish hard copies of future Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units, which includes Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for
13、easy recognition will be published on the ABS website only when RCN and/or Corrigenda are issued. 5. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS website www.eagle.org for download. ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING MOBILE OFFSHORE UNITS .2018 1 Notices and General
