ii ABS RULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING STEEL VESSELS . 2016

Introduction
1. The year 2016 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels consists of the eleven
(11) booklets as shown in Table 1. In this regard, we would bring the following to the user’s
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
shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., except for those in offshore service, as specified in
the Foreword to Part 1.
b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2) 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 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 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 2015 edition of the Rules are identified and listed in Table 3. The
effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2016, 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 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 have 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 Rule
requirement.
5. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels is published, Rule
Change 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 Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides. The
consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels, which includes Rule
Change Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition, will be published
on the ABS website only when Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda are issued.
6. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS
website http://www.eagle.org/absdownloads/index.cfm for download.

applicable for single side skin and double side skin bulk carriers of 90m in length and
upward, with structural arrangements as specified in Part 5A, Pt 1, Ch 1, Sec 1, [1.2].
For vessels intended to carry ore or bulk cargoes, other than the single side skin or double
side skin bulk carriers of 90 m in length and upward with structural arrangements as
specified in Part 5A, Pt 1 and Part 5B, Pt 2, Ch 1, the requirements in Part 5C, Chapters 3
or 4 are to be complied with.
Application – ABS Construction Monitoring Program
These compulsory requirements for CSR notation are specified in Part 5C, Appendix 2.
Application – Onboard Systems for Oil Tankers and Bulk Carriers
The onboard systems for all tankers are to comply with the requirements of Part 5C,
Chapter 1, Section 7, and for all bulk carriers are to comply with the requirements of Part
5C, Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Rules.
Application – References
Other Parts of the ABS Rules that are referenced within Part 5A, 5B, or 5C are also to be
applied.
The following flow chart indicates the application of the Rules and typical Class Notations for
tanker and bulk carrier vessels, of which arrangements and scantlings are in full compliance with
the Rules:
