Foreword (2001)

In an effort to facilitate usage and better maintain survey after construction Rules, ABS has consolidated twenty-two (22) ABS Rules and Guides into this “Rules for Survey after Construction” booklet for 2001. These requirements apply to and supercede all survey after construction Rules required by the ABS Rules and Guides listed in Chapter 1, Section 1, Subsection 1 “Application” (7- 1-1/1) of these Rules. These Rules do not apply to any other ABS Rules or Guide containing survey after construction requirements unless a particular Rule or Guide references any of the survey requirements of the ABS Rules or Guides listed in 7-1-1/ 1.

Chapters 1 through 8 contains survey Rules that have common requirements for different vessel types and geographical service areas. Where survey requirements differ according to the vessel’s geographical limitation in these Rules, the chapter has been sectioned into Unrestricted Service, Great Lakes Service, and Rivers and Intracoastal Waterways Services.

Where survey requirements are common to different vessel types, each survey type will contain requirements applicable to all vessels. When additional requirements are applicable to a specific vessel type, or are in lieu of the common requirement, they will be listed after the requirements for all vessels. The requirements for vessels in the Enhanced Survey Program (ESP) have been incorporated into each survey type.

Chapter 9 contains survey requirements to maintain a Class Notation for an additional system or service.

Chapters 10 through 12 contain unique survey Rules for Floating Drydocks, Underwater Vehicles and Offshore Racing Yachts. The survey interval and survey requirements noted in these chapters only apply to these vessel types.

The Appendix includes several ABS Guides relating to survey after construction and also contains planning, reporting and certification of thickness measurement firms required by the Enhanced Survey Program.

In order to further explain the new formatting contained in these Rules, sample vessels and their applicable survey requirements are illustrated in the table on the following page.

1.7 Enhanced Survey Program (ESP) Notations (2005)

Oil carriers including combination carriers, bulk carriers and chemical carriers, as defined in 7-1-1/3, are subject to an Enhanced Survey Program and will be identified in the Record by the notation, ESP.

These vessels are to comply with the requirements identified in this Part as ESP vessels (e.g., Bulk Carriers ESP, etc.).

1.7.1 Ship Type and Enhanced Survey Program (ESP) Notations

1.7.1(a) Oil Carrier. The ship type notation Oil Carrier, or equivalent, and the notation, ESP is to be assigned to seagoing self-propelled ships which are constructed generally with integral tanks and intended primarily to carry oil in bulk. This type notation is to be assigned to tankers of both single and double hull construction, as well as tankers with alternative structural arrangements, e.g., mid-deck designs. Typical midship sections are given in 7-1-1/Figure 1.

1.7.1(b) Bulk Carrier. The ship type notation Bulk Carrier, or equivalent, and the notation, ESP is to be assigned to seagoing self-propelled ships which are constructed generally with single deck, double bottom, hopper side tanks and topside tanks and with single or double side skin construction in cargo length area and intended primarily to carry dry cargoes in bulk.

Typical midship sections are given in 7-1-1/Figure 2.

FIGURE 2

1.7.1(c) Ore Carrier. The ship type notation Ore Carrier, or equivalent, and the notation, ESP is to be assigned to seagoing self-propelled ships which are constructed generally with single deck, two longitudinal bulkheads and a double bottom throughout the cargo length area and intended primarily to carry ore cargoes in the center holds only. Typical midship sections are given in 7-1-1/Figure 3.

1.7.1(d) Combination Carrier. “Combination carrier” is a general term applied to ships intended for the carriage of both oil and dry cargoes in bulk; these cargoes are not carried simultaneously, with the exception of oily mixture retained in slop tanks. The ship types defined in i) and ii) below are to be considered to be combination carriers.

i) The ship type notation Ore/Oil Carrier, or equivalent, and the notation, ESP is to be assigned to seagoing self-propelled ships which are constructed generally with single deck, two longitudinal bulkheads and a double bottom throughout the cargo length area and intended primarily to carry ore cargoes in the center holds or of oil cargoes in center holds and wing tanks. Typical midship sections are given in 7-1-1/Figure 4.

ii) The ship type notation Oil/Bulk/Ore (OBO) Carrier, or equivalent, and the notation, ESP is to be assigned to seagoing self-propelled ships which are constructed generally with single deck, double bottom, hopper side tanks and topside tanks, and with single or double side skin construction in the cargo length area, and intended primarily to carry oil or dry cargoes, including ore, in bulk. Typical midship sections are given in 7-1-1/Figure 5.

FIGURE 5

1.7.1(e) Chemical Carrier. The ship type notation Chemical Carrier, or equivalent, and the notation, ESP is to be assigned to seagoing self-propelled ships which are constructed generally with integral tanks and intended primarily to carry chemicals in bulk. This type notation is to be assigned to tankers of both single or double hull construction, as well as tankers with alternative structural arrangements. Typical midship sections are given in 7-1-1/Figure 6.

1.9 Expanded Survey (ESDC) Notations (2005)

General Dry Cargo Vessels as defined by 7-1-1/3.33 are subject to an Expanded Survey and will be identified in the Record by the notation ESDC. These vessels are to comply with the requirements identified in this Part as “General Dry Cargo Vessels (ESDC)”.

3 Definitions (1999)

3.1 Active Corrosion

Active Corrosion means loose scale and evidence of moisture penetration to the steel.

3.2 Air Pipe Head (1 July 2006)

Air Pipe Heads installed on the exposed decks are those extending above the freeboard deck or superstructure decks.

3.3 Allowable Corrosion or Wastage Limit

Allowable Corrosion or Wastage Limit is the acceptable corrosion limit for the vessel’s structure in a given area. Also known as Allowable Limit.

3.5 Bay

Bay is the area between adjacent transverse frames from longitudinal bulkhead to longitudinal bulkhead (or side…
