3、BSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING OFFSHORE SUPPORT VESSELS .2018 Notices and General Information Introduction 1. The year 2018 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels consists of the nine (9) booklets as shown in Table 1. In this regard, we would bring the following t
4、o the users attention: a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification (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 vessels, barges and specific s
5、hipboard arrangements/systems, etc., except for those in offshore service, as specified in the Foreword to Part 1. Additional specific requirements are contained in Part 1 of these Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels. b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials a
6、nd 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 common “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. c) The purpose of the generic title
7、ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) is to reflect the expanded contents of PART 7, as a result of including consolidated requirements for “Surveys After Construction” applicable to all types and sizes of vessels, barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., as specified in
8、Part 7, Chapter 1, Section 1. 2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 3. The primary changes from the 2017 Rules are identified and listed in Table 3. The effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2018, unless specifically indicated otherwise. 4. The effecti
9、ve 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 1 January 2000 (and subseque
10、nt 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 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels is published, Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be
11、 published on the ABS website www.eagle.org only, and will be available free for downloading. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Support Vessels, which includes Change Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition, will be published on th
12、e ABS website only when RCN and/or Corrigenda are issued. 6. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS website www.eagle.org for download.
