(Website: www.iacs.org.uk)

CSR-H Rule Text.

Technical Background.

Consequence Assessment (based on 31-Dec-2012 internal version).

IACS Press Release.

IACS web site modified to suit.

A working draft showing track changes from 1st external release of

1-Jul-2012 is available upon request.

In Progress items from 1st draft of 1-Jul-2012 addressed as necessary

and labels removed.

2nd Draft of CSR-H Released

2nd Industry Review Period

1 April 2013 ~ 31 August 2013

Industry invited to review and comment during the review period,

and further advised:

This period constitutes the last opportunity for "substantive"

review of the draft harmonized CSR.

There will be a final Technical Committee review of the draft

harmonized Common Structural Rules during the period of
1 Nov 2013 thru 15 Dec 2013, however, this final review is
planned as a non-substantive confirmation of the Rules.

the reason being the schedule for the submission of the CSR-H to
IMO for verification of compliance with the IMO Goal Based
Standards.

Residual strength after collision or grounding
Introduced in Pt 1, Ch 5, Sec 3

Structural redundancy
Technical background is under development
Conclusion: Ship structure, i.e. stiffened panels with scantlings in
accordance with CSR have inherent redundancy and do not need
reinforcement for this purpose

Fatigue Vibration due to whipping / springing

Implicitly covered for a very large part of ships as it is included in
the experience from operation
