minimum of dismantling for maintenance. Conservation of space and weight shall be a
major goal for offshore applications, consistent with safety and performance requirements.

The design shall provide adequate features to handle the indicated design conditions
and all predictable occurrences resulting from weather, process upsets, operational
failures, or interruption of utilities.
