Scope
This Malaysian Project Design Specification (MPDS) outlines the requirements for lifting
COMPANY assets using floating cranes in support of Construction activities, near shore, inshore, or
offshore. A project-specific list of lifts for which this MPDS applies shall be prepared by Contractor
and submitted to Company for approval in draft form at contract award and in final form no later than
120 days prior to mobilization. Within this list, Contractor shall define all lifts, which are critical
lifting operations as defined in Section 2.2. This MPDS, in conjunction with the other MPDSs and
National and International Standards listed in Section 1, defines the minimum requirements to be met
by Contractor.

2.2. Definitions
Term [I] Description
Critical Lifting Critical lifting operations are defined as those requiring a Static Hook
Operations Load, as defined in "Guidelines for Marine Operations," greater than 70
percent of the static crane capacity and lifting operations involving
multiple crane vessels.
Hold and Recovery Hold and recovery points are defined as points during the execution of a
Points critical lifting operation when the work can be safely paused and a
decision made to proceed or recover.
Inshore Inshore lifting operations are generally associated with the transfer of
facilities from a transportation vessel to the deck of the installation vessel
in a sheltered inshore location prior to transit to the offshore site for
installation.
Near Shore Near shore lifting operations are generally associated with the integration
of topside facilities onto Floating Production Supply and Offloading
Units (FPSO), Tension Leg Platforms (TLP), or other such floating
facilities at a quayside or in close proximity to land. Near shore
operations also cover the lifted loadout of facilities by floating crane from
the quayside to a transportation vessel.
a) Monitor the fabrication weight program of the items, including tracking weight growth, C of
G, and resulting offsets between the hook position and the structure centers of gravity,
proposed sling lengths, and counterweight installation.
b) Verify Fabricators "weighed weight."
c) Monitor rigging appurtenances, platforms, and rigging installation.
d) NDE of lift points.
operation. Prior to the start of each phase of the operation, Contractor shall consult with the Marine
Warranty Surveyor and Company to jointly decide whether to proceed.
4. Specific Requirements
In addition to the requirements of Sections 1 to 3 above and the referenced MPDSs, Specifications,
and Guidelines, Company requires Contractor to comply with the requirements set out in the
following section.
b) A proof test is conducted at intervals no greater than 5 years to 110 percent of the crane's
rated capacity.
c) The original design and construction of the crane was in accordance with industry-recognized
codes and practices.
d) The crane vessel operational history is consistent with the activities proposed on Company
project.
4) Contractor shall allow sufficient time, without affecting the lift schedules, to repair any items
found to be deficient.
4.1.1.2. Additional Requirements for Critical Lifting Operations
1) Company requires Contractor to submit for Company review a detailed engineering analysis to
verify the crane rating and capacity. This analysis shall consider the load-bearing and load-
containment components of the crane, its foundation, and adjoining steelwork. If required, the
analysis shall cover the lift path at the minimum and at the maximum boom radii.
2) At Companys discretion, components that have not yet been subject to inspection in the current
5-year cycle may be required to be inspected prior to lifting.
3) Contractor shall obtain a letter from the crane manufacturer or other Company-approved
competent body stating that the crane has completed the required inspection and is capable of
making the lift(s) as specified.
4.1.1.3. Non-Critical Near Shore Lifting Operations
1) The requirements for inshore lifting are to be consistent with all requirements of this
specification.
2) Lifting operations to and from the quayside or from inshore operational sites generally have the
benefit of calmer waters and reduced wave heights. However, Contractor must consider other
relevant factorssuch as elevation of the quay, height of tides, rates of current, and water depths
in relation to the draft of the crane vessel, tugs, and other bargeswhich may give rise to
limitations and limit lifting performance.
3) Other considerationssuch as quay strength, capacity of bollards, fendering, access, and possible
restrictions on positioning of vessels, their moorings, and anchors in relation to the site layout and
the influence of vessels in adjacent channelsmust be considered by Contractor and be included
in Contractor's lifting operations procedures to Companys satisfaction.
4.9. Weighing
All Lifted items categorized as critical, as defined in this MPDS, shall be weighed in accordance with
MPDS 23-02-01. The resultant weighed weight shall be used to confirm the basis of the lift
engineering studies and analyses.

Instituted Purpose Codes [X], [Y], [Z] to identify those paragraphs that
have been deleted ( [X] ), modified ( [Y] ), or added ( [Z] ) as a result of
the Gap Analysis undertaken to identify items in heritage Company
design documentation (DIM and GS) and other sources relevant to
Company operations (i.e. Regulatory requirements) that should be
included into the MPDS.
Those paragraphs with Purpose Codes [X], [Y], [Z] shall be compared
against subsequent revisions of the GPs as they are accepted into
Company.
Code Description
X Assigned to paragraphs that have been deleted in their entirety from the GP base-document,
and not replaced when developing the MPDS. The associated Rationale content has been
deleted as appropriate. The statement Intentionally Deleted has been added to the original
GP item number to retain the GP base-document structure.
The GP base-document and revision are listed on the front page of this MPDS as well as all
page footers.
The deleted paragraphs and requirements therein were not applicable to the MPDS at the time
of MPDS development. Subsequent revisions of the GP shall be compared against this MPDS
to ensure that GP updates are properly incorporated into the next revision of the MPDS,
including a review of deleted paragraphs to ensure the deletion is still valid.
Y Assigned to paragraphs that have been modified from the GP base-document when developing
the MPDS. These modifications may include partial deletion of text from a specific
requirement. The changes identified are of a technical nature, affecting the clause of the
MPDS (compared to the GP base-document). Clerical changes, such as replacement of "GP"
with "MPDS" or "Company" with "EMEPMI" are not identified.
The GP base-document and revision are listed on the front page of this MPDS as well as all
page footers.
Specific project requirements have been written into the GP base-document paragraph.
Subsequent revisions of the GP shall be compared against this MPDS to ensure that GP
updates are properly incorporated into the next revision of the MPDS. The specific project
requirements embedded in the GP base-document paragraphs shall be retained in subsequent
revisions of the MPDS unless otherwise superseded by requirements in the GP. Alternately,
they may be removed via the appropriate deviation process.
Z Assigned to paragraphs that have been added to the GP base-document.
The GP base-document and revision are listed on the front page of this MPDS as well as all
page footers.
The paragraph numbers assigned shall add onto the GP base-document structure. Therefore,
subsequent revisions of the GP shall be compared against this MPDS to ensure that GP updates
are properly incorporated into the next revision of the MPDS. All additional paragraphs in this
MPDS shall be included in subsequent revisions of the MPDS unless otherwise superseded by
requirements in the GP. Alternately, they may be removed via the appropriate deviation
process.
