2、d Foreword This Guide was developed for the Classification of Liftboats and specifies the requirements for design, construction and survey after construction of the Liftboat (including hull structure, equipment and machinery systems) for use by designers, builders, owners and operators in the offsho
3、re industry. This Guide will become effective immediately after its publication. 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, entitled Rules for Conditions of Classi
4、fication 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-classed offshore units, pipelines, risers
5、, 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 this Guide specifies only the unique requirements applicable to liftboats. These supplemental requirements are a
6、lways to be used with the aforementioned Rules for Conditions of Classification Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1). ii ABSGUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING LIFTBOATS .2018 Table of Contents GUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING LIFTBOATS CONTENTS PART 1 Conditions of Classification (Supplement to the AB

12、8 1 Notices and General Information Introduction 1. The year 2018 edition of the Guide for Building and Classing Liftboats consists of the seven (7) 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 Classifi
13、cation 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 and sizes of units, installations, vessels or systems in offshore service, etc., as specified in the Forewor
14、d to Part 1. Additional specific requirements are contained in Part 1 of this Guide for Building and Classing Liftboats. 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
15、 structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2 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 primary changes from the 2017 edition of the Guide are identified and listed in T
16、able 3. The effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2018, unless specifically indicated 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
17、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 For certain changes that hav
18、e a major impact on shipyards, designers and vendors, ABS has instituted a two-year Rule cycle to give 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 requirement. 5. Until the next edition of t
19、he Guide for Building and Classing Liftboats 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 to existing Rules or
20、 Guides. The consolidated edition of the Guide for Building and Classing Liftboats, 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. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND
21、NOTATIONS is available from the ABS website www.eagle.org for download. 2 ABSGUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING LIFTBOATS .2018 Notices and General Information TABLE 1 Applicable Editions of Booklets Comprising 2018 Liftboat Guide Guide for Building and Classing Liftboats Notices and General Informatio
