operated or located at sea or in inland waters or partly on land, including submarines, hovercrafts, drilling
rigs, offshore installations of any type and of any purpose, their related and ancillary equipment, subsea
or not, such as well head and pipelines, mooring legs and mooring points or otherwise as decided by the
Society.
The Society:
prepares and publishes Rules for classification, Guidance Notes and other documents (Rules);
issues Certificates, Attestations and Reports following its interventions (Certificates);
publishes Registers.
1.2. - The Society also participates in the application of National and International Regulations or Standards, in particular by delegation from different Governments. Those activities are hereafter collectively referred to as " Certification ".
1.3. - The Society can also provide services related to Classification and Certification such as ship and
company safety management certification; ship and port security certification, training activities; all activities and duties incidental thereto such as documentation on any supporting means, software, instrumentation, measurements, tests and trials on board.
1.4. - The interventions mentioned in 1.1., 1.2. and 1.3. are referred to as " Services ". The party and/or its

obligations by the interventions of the Society.
ARTICLE 2
2.1. - Classification is the appraisement given by the Society for its Client, at a certain date, following surveys by its Surveyors along the lines specified in Articles 3 and 4 hereafter on the level of compliance of
a Unit to its Rules or part of them. This appraisement is represented by a class entered on the Certificates
and periodically transcribed in the Society's Register.
2.2. - Certification is carried out by the Society along the same lines as set out in Articles 3 and 4 hereafter
and with reference to the applicable National and International Regulations or Standards.

Where the total length required for chain cables is less than 220 m, one only of the two anchors may be linked with the chain
cable and arranged in a hawse pipe. In this case, the second anchor is to be stowed such that it can be easily joined to the chain
cable and dropped overboard in the event of loss of the first anchor.
These diameters are applicable to studless chain cables.

3.2.1
If a vessel is fitted with cargo tanks, the fully loaded conditions of Pt B, Ch 3, App 2, [1.2.12] are to be modified,
assuming first the cargo tanks full and then the cargo tanks
empty.
If in any loading condition water ballast is necessary, additional diagrams are to be calculated, taking into account the
water ballast, the quantity and disposition of which are to
be stated in the stability information.
In all cases when deck cargo is carried, a realistic stowage
weight is to be assumed and stated in the stability information, including the height of the cargo and its centre of gravity.
Where pipes are carried on deck, a quantity of trapped
water equal to a certain percentage of the net volume of the
pipe deck cargoes is to be assumed in and around the
pipes. The net volume is to be taken as the internal volume
of the pipes, plus the volume between the pipes. This percentage is 30 if the freeboard amidships is equal to or less
than 0,015 L and 10 if the freeboard amidships is equal to
or greater than 0,03 L. For intermediate values of the freeboard amidships, the percentage may be obtained by linear
interpolation. In assessing the quantity of trapped water, the
Society may take into account positive or negative sheer aft,
actual trim and area of operation.
If a vessel operates in zones where ice accretion is likely to
occur, allowance for icing should be made in accordance
with the provisions of Pt B, Ch 3, Sec 2, [6].
A vessel, when engaged in towing operations, may not carry
deck cargo, except that a limited amount, properly secured,
which would neither endanger the safe working of the crew
nor impede the proper functioning of the towing equipment, may be accepted.
3.3.1
3.2.3
Additional criteria
Factors of influence
The stability criteria mentioned in [3.2.1] and [3.2.2] are minimum values; no maximum values are recommended. It is
advisable to avoid excessive values, since these might lead to
acceleration forces which could be prejudicial to the vessel,
its complement, its equipment and the safe carriage of cargo.
Where anti-rolling devices are installed, the stability criteria
indicated in [3.2.1] and [3.2.2] are to be maintained when
the devices are in operation.

As an alternative to the requirements in [3.3.1], simple supplementary operational procedures are to be followed when
the ship is carrying oil cargoes or during liquid transfer
operations.
Simple supplementary operational procedures for liquid
transfer operations means written procedures made available to the Master which:
A transverse watertight bulkhead extending from the vessel's side to a distance inboard of 760 mm or more at the
level of the summer load line joining longitudinal watertight
bulkheads may be considered as a transverse watertight
bulkhead for the purpose of the damage calculations.
Where a transverse watertight bulkhead is located within
the transverse extent of assumed damage and is stepped in
way of a double bottom or side tank by more than 3,05 m,
the double bottom or side tank adjacent to the stepped portion of the bulkhead is to be considered as flooded simultaneously.
If the distance between adjacent transverse watertight bulkheads or the distance between the transverse planes passing
through the nearest stepped portions of the bulkheads is
less than the longitudinal extent of damage given in [3.4.2]

comply with the damage stability criteria as specified in [3.4.7].

Specific requirements which apply only to ships with the
service notation barge or ships with the service notation
pontoon or pontoon- crane are indicated.
Barges with the additional service feature tug combined are
also to comply with the applicable additional requirements
in Ch 14, Sec 3.
1.1.2 Main characteristics of non-propelled units
The requirements of this Section are based on the following
assumptions, relevant to the main characteristics of nonpropelled units:
the structural configuration and proportions of non-propelled units are similar to those of propelled ships
the cargo is homogeneously distributed.
The scantlings of non-propelled units with unusual shapes
and proportions or carrying cargoes which are not homogeneously distributed, such as containers or heavy loads concentrated in limited areas, are to be considered by the
Society on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the
results of direct calculations, to be carried out according to

Intact stability for ships with service
notation pontoon or pontoon - crane
2.1.1 Application
The requirements of this item apply to seagoing ships with
one of the service notations pontoon and pontoon - crane
with the following characteristics:
unmanned
having a block coefficient not less than 0,9
having a breadth/depth ratio greater than 3,0
having no hatchways in the deck except small manholes
closed with gasketed covers.
2.1.2 Trim and stability booklet
In addition to the information to be included in the trim and
stability booklet specified in Pt B, Ch 3, App 2, [1.1], simplified stability guidance, such as a loading diagram, is to be
submitted to the Society for approval, so that pontoons may
be loaded in compliance with the stability criteria.
2.1.3 Stability calculations
Stability calculations may be carried out according to the
following criteria:
no account is to be taken of the buoyancy of deck cargo
(except buoyancy credit for adequately secured timber)
consideration is to be given to such factors as water
absorption (e.g. timber), trapped water in cargo (e.g.
pipes) and ice accretion
in carrying out wind heel calculations:
- the wind pressure is to be constant and for general
operations considered to act on a solid mass extending over the length of the cargo deck and to an
assumed height above the deck
- the centre of gravity of the cargo is to be assumed at
a point mid-height of the cargo
- the wind lever arm is to be taken from the centre of
the deck cargo to a point at one half the draught
calculations are to be carried out covering the full range
of operating draughts
the downflooding angle is to be taken as the angle at
which an opening through which progressive flooding
may take place is immersed. This would not be an opening closed by a watertight manhole cover or a vent fitted
with an automatic closure.
2.1.4 Intact stability criteria
The following intact stability criteria are to be complied
with, for the loading conditions specified in Pt B, Ch 3, App

For vessels equal to or greater than 45 m in length, the collision bulkhead is to be located at a distance from the forward perpendicular FPLL of not less than 5% and no more
than 8% of the length LLL of the ship.
For vessels less than 45 m in length, the collision bulkhead
is to be located at a distance from the forward perpendicular FPLL of not less than 5% of the length LLL of the ship and
not more than 5% of the length LLL + 1,35 m. For ships
greater than 24 m in length, this distance is not to be less
than 2 m.
Where any part of the ship below the waterline extends forward of the forward perpendicular, e.g a bulbous bow, the
above distances, in m, are to be measured from a point
either:
at the mid-length of such extension, or
at a distance 1,5% of the length LLL of the ship forward
of the forward perpendicular, where this distance is
lesser.

Cofferdams
1.2.1 Cofferdams are to be provided between compartments intended for liquid hydrocarbons (fuel oil, lubricating
oil) and those intended for fresh water or boiler feed water.
1.2.2 Cofferdams separating fuel oil tanks from lubricating
oil tanks and such tanks from those intended for the carriage of fresh water or boiler feed water may not be required
when deemed impracticable or unreasonable by the Society
in relation to the characteristics and dimensions of such
tanks, provided that:

Plate stems
The plating forming the stems is to be supported by horizontal diaphragms spaced not more than 1200 mm apart and
connected, as far as practicable, to the adjacent frames and
side girders.
If considered necessary, and particularly where the stem
radius is large, a centreline stiffener or web of suitable
scantlings is to be fitted.
The thickness of the plates below the load waterline is to be
not less than the value obtained, in mm, from the following
formula:
t = 1,37 (0,95 + L1/2) n2 k1/2
Above the load waterline this thickness may be gradually
tapered towards the stem head, where it is to be not less
than that required for side plating at ends.
