1.6 Qualifications
All statements and requirements given in this recommended
practice shall be understood as applicable or as relevant for
the unit in question. Such qualifications are therefore not included in the text describing the individual standard documentation types.
2. Standard documentation types

2.1 Discipline A Administration
No special standard documentation types are defined for the
administration discipline.
2.2 Discipline B Stability and load line

2.2.1 General
The following paragraphs describe the documentation needed
in order to approve the stability of a mobile offshore unit. The
MODU Code 1989 contains requirements to operation manuals, which also includes stability information. The documentation requirements to the preliminary and final stability manual
described in the following cover the MODU Code 1989 requirements related to stability information in the operation
manual. The owner has the option to include the content of the
stability manual in the operation manual or to keep the stability
manual as a stand-alone document that is referred to in the operation manual.
2.2.2 B020 Stability analysis
The purpose of the stability analysis is to document the determination of the limiting maximum allowable VCG (vertical
centre of gravity), and eventually other limitations related to
floatability and stability. These are the limits that the unit must
be operated within in order to comply with rules and regulations.
The maximum allowable VCG depends on the following factors:
buoyant parts of the hull, superstructures and deck houses

wind exposed portions of the unit
internal subdivision
external watertight integrity
internal watertight integrity.
The stability analysis shall contain documentation on the following:

rules and regulations and their corresponding intact and
damage stability criteria
description of the unit, volumes included as buoyant, internal subdivision and watertight arrangement
definitions of axis, baseline, etc.
hydrostatic tables
cross curves of stability.
Documentation of wind forces
The documentation may either be a report from a wind tunnel
test carried out by a recognised institute or a detailed calculation carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the
regulations. The documentation of the wind tunnel test and the
detailed calculations shall contain a detailed and recognisable
description of the model. The wind forces should be documented from the lightest draught up to the maximum operational draught. The wind forces should be documented for
heeling angles from upright position and to at least 30 degrees
with steps not exceeding 10 degrees. For ship shaped units it is
sufficient to determine the wind forces at the upright position
and assume the forces to vary as a cosine function of the heeling angle. Horizontal surfaces, such as helicopter deck should
be taken into account. For units of an arbitrary shape, where
both the stability particulars and the wind forces vary with the
attacking angle, the wind forces shall be determined for the
range of attacking azimuth angles about the unit from forward
to aft in steps not exceeding 15 degrees. The wind forces
should normally be determined when the unit is assumed free
floating, i.e. uprighting effects from anchoring, etc. shall not
be taken into account. For units equipped with dynamic position keeping system, the heeling forces shall take into account
the adverse effect of the thruster system. I.e. the wind forces
are assumed to act about the centre of the thrusters.
Documentation of compliance with intact stability criteria
A summary table showing the results of intact stability calculation covering a draught range from light ship and to the maximum operational draught. The summary table should indicate
the main results for each azimuth angle, compliance with each
criterion and reference to the detailed results, preferably included as an appendix. 100 knots wind speed shall be applied
for severe storm conditions and 70 for operational and transit
conditions. If a specific severe storm draught has not been
specified, 100 knots shall be used for the complete draught
range. Documentation of compliance with intact stability criteria.
Documentation of compliance with damage stability criteria
A summary table showing details of the most severe damage
cases at each draught, including azimuth angles and covering
the draught range from lightship to the maximum operational
draught. For column stabilised units the damage stability
should normally be documented at the fixed draughts only,
such as at the transit and operational draught. The detailed results from the damage stability calculations should be included
as an annex to the report. The results from the detailed calculation of damage stability should at least consist of plot of each
damage case, plot of righting lever (GZ)-curves and wind heeling arm. Flooding angles shall be indicated on the plots.
Ballasting curves
For column stabilised unit, the severe storm draught may be
different from the transit draught and the operational draught.
Maximum allowable VCG curves shall be developed, on the
basis that the unit can reach the severe storm draught by use of
ballast water only, i.e. without relocation or dumping of fixed
loads. If the unit is operating in a geographic location where
the weather conditions do not annually or seasonally become
sufficiently severe to require a unit to go to a severe storm condition relocation of fixed loads may be accepted if the detailed
procedures are included in the stability manual (B050 or
B060).
Resulting maximum allowable VCG curve
The resulting maximum allowable VCG curve should be plotted in an easily readable format. Any limitations, such as tanks
to be kept full at given draughts, lowering of legs etc, shall be
clearly stated.
2.2.3 B030 Inclining test and lightweight survey procedure
When the unit is completed an inclining experiment shall be
carried out in order to determine the correct weight and centres
of gravity. The procedure for the inclining test should contain
details on the following:
time and place
loading condition at the test. It is of imperative importance
to avoid draughts at which the waterplane area changes
significantly during the inclining. The loading condition
should have as few slack tanks as possible. Empty tanks
should be completely dried
the shifting procedure
the pendulum arrangement
draught reading procedures
estimated foreign and missing weights.
DET NORSKE VERITAS

Page 7
For a series of sister units, a lightweight survey may be accepted in lieu of an inclining test. This will depend on:
type of unit
time span of building
whether the units are built for the same owner
dissimilarities between the units
approved inclining test of the first unit
unaccounted difference in lightweight data from the estimate and the lightweight survey should not exceed 1%
unaccounted difference in lightweight data from the inclining test and the lightweight survey should not exceed
1%.
Deadweight data
Weights and position of gravity centre of typical dead-weight
groups or items to facilitate calculation of loading conditions
such as consumables departure, consumables arrival or
standard cargo loads, etc.
Tank data
Plan for spaces and tanks (H040) with following information
on each tank:
The procedure for the lightweight survey is the same as for the
inclining test except inclining weights, shifts and pendulums.
Guidance note:
The plan for spaces and tanks is also part of the design basis for
structural design, see H040.
2.2.4 B040 Inclining test or lightweight survey report

The report shall contain the actual records from the inclining
test or lightweight survey as well as the following calculations:
displacement corrected for draught, trim, sagging and hogging and for actual seawater density
foreign, missing and mislocated weights and their position
inclining moments and the corresponding heeling angles
(only for inclining tests). This shall be presented in form
of a table and a diagram
calculation of metacentric height (GM) based on the least
square method (only for inclining tests)
calculation of lightweight data; weight, longitudinal center
of gravity (LCG) and VCG (VCG only for inclining tests).
For sister units, if the difference between lightweight data is
sufficiently small and within the accuracy or tolerance of inclining tests or lightweight surveys (difference in lightweight
is within 0.5% and difference in LCG is within 0.5% of the
length between perpendiculars), the lightweight data of the
first units may be used for the sister unit; i.e. identical final stability documentation may be accepted for the sister unit as for
the first unit.
2.2.5 B050 Preliminary stability manual
The following is the general contents of the preliminary stability manual. This content shall be adjusted in accordance with
the requirements of rules and regulations.
Main particulars
The unit's identification, main dimensions, maximum draught,
maximum trim and service information. A copy of the general
arrangement plan (Z020) shall be included.
Rules and regulations
Stability model

Reference system and baseline
These shall be clearly defined and maintained throughout the
stability manual.
Based on estimation or data from sister unit.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
Draught marks
The position of draught marks and an explanation how to calculate from draught readings the corresponding draught to be
used in tables for hydrostatic data, cross curves and VCG limit
curves.
Hydrostatic data
The hydrostatic data shall be presented on extreme draught basis in tabular form, from lightweight draught to above maximum draught with steps not exceeding 0.10 m.
In cases where the unit is intended to operate with trim, the hydrostatic data must cover the trim range. Alternatively, trim
correction tables shall be included.
The following hydrostatic data shall be presented:
displacement moulded (m3)

displacement extreme (tonnes)
tonnes per centimetre immersion
vertical centre of buoyancy
longitudinal centre of buoyancy
transverse metacentre
longitudinal metacentre.
