Item 101 always a number
502 Figures are numbered in increasing order within each
section, e.g. Fig.1, Fig.2 etc. The figure number and title are
given immediately under the figure.
503 Tables are numbered in increasing order within each
sub-section, e.g. Table A1, Table A2 etc. The table number and
title are placed in the top left hand corner of the table.
504 Each chapter is written as self-contained as possible.
Cross references are generally given at the highest level con-
sistent with feasibility to find the subject matter:
a) From part to part, e.g. see Pt.2 Ch.1 (i.e. down to chapter).
b) From chapter to chapter within the same part, e.g. see Ch.1
Sec.3 (i.e. down to section). Reference to subsection, e.g.
Ch.1 Sec.3 A may be used where necessary for clarity.
c) Within a chapter,
e.g. section to section, see Sec.4 A100 (i.e. down to item)
e.g. within a section, see A103
e.g. within a subsection, see 103.
B 600 Definitions
601 Symbols and terms are in general defined at one of three
levels in the rules. A definition given at higher level is normal-
ly not repeated at a lower level, and references are not made to
the definitions at higher level. When a symbol or term is de-
fined elsewhere than in either of the three general levels, prop-
er reference is made.
602 The first (higher) level of definitions is given in a sepa-
rate sub-section in Sec.1 of the chapter in which the symbol or
term is used. This level defines symbols and terms which are
generally applied in the chapter or booklet.
603 The second (intermediate) level of definitions is given in
sub-section A of the section in which the symbol or term is
used. This level normally defines symbols and terms occurring
in various connections within the section.
604 The third (lower) level of definitions is given in connec-
tion with the formula or expression in which the symbol or
term is used. The definition is normally given immediately fol-

C 900 DNV Statutory Interpretations
901 This publication presents the Society's interpretations of
international statutory instruments. Such interpretations may
be on matters which are left to the satisfaction of the flag ad-
ministration or are vaguely worded.
The publication covers only selected relevant topics and shall
under no circumstances be taken as the Society's complete in-
terpretations to the statutory instruments.
D. Computer Programs
D 100 General
101 Computers, networks and information systems play an
increasingly important role in the evaluation of designs, the
following-up of newbuildings and ships in operation, as well
as the continuous learning and knowledge sharing process of
the classification society. As the shipping industry shifts from
paper-based production to digital production, also digital ex-
change of information becomes important, both within the in-
dividual company and between companies.
D 200 NAUTICUS
201 NAUTICUS is the information and analysis system for
the DNV classification activity. With its life cycle product
model approach the system accumulates and makes available
information about a ship from design to scrapping. Object ori-
entation enables intelligent linking and efficient processing of
this information, while graphical user interfaces with task ori-
ented views make the information easily accessible for the
end-user. With a wide area computer network the information
is available throughout the DNV organisation, and Internet
links accommodate external users.
202 With NAUTICUS, DNV aims at improved knowledge
sharing and decision support, which means enhanced, faster
and consistent high level services to DNV's customers
throughout the world.
203 Ship modelling, analysis and rule checking applications
are available to external users as the software is released. Nor-
mally, new versions will be released once a year, following the
cycles of the rule editions.
204 NAUTICUS HULL provides an efficient analysis tool
for the naval architect who may work with familiar hull ele-
ments in a user-friendly graphical environment, having access
to a wide range of analysis options that are re-using the same
digital model of the ship. In addition to the traditional rule
checking there are direct calculation options for fatigue life, ul-
timate hull girder capacity, oil spill after structural damage, life
cycle costs for different hull designs and maintenance
schemes, as well as the broad range of features offered by the
SESAM system (see 300).
205 Rule Check, which is one of the NAUTICUS HULL
packages, covers inter alia rule checking of section scantlings,
such as hull girder strength, local strength, and buckling of
plates and stiffeners. In addition there are dedicated programs
for various rule checking and structural analysis according to
the DNV Rules.
206 NAUTICUS MACHINERY provides an effective anal-
DET NORSKE VERITAS
Pt.0 Ch.1 Sec.2 – Page 9
ysis package to shipbuilders and component manufacturers.
The software focuses on rotating machinery components (pro-
peller, shaft, couplings, gears and engines) and the related sys-
tems. In addition to traditional rule check tools the package
consist of advanced system analysis tools such as shaft align-
ment, whirling and axial vibration calculations. Some of the
tools are linked to DNV Rules for calculation methods and al-
lowable safety factors, while other tools are based on well es-
tablished engineering methods or recognized standards, e.g.
IACS unified requirements, CIMAC or ISO.
207 NAUTICUS HULL and NAUTICUS MACHINERY
may be ordered from the local DNV office or from DNV Soft-
ware, NO-1322 Høvik, Norway, tel: +47 67 57 76 50 or fax:
+47 67 57 72 72, e-mail: software.nauticus@dnv.com.
208 NAUTICUS incorporates the ship related parts of the
general purpose finite element program SESAM (see 300).
D 300 SESAM
301 SESAM includes integrated program packages for ex-
tensive analysis of marine and offshore structures, as:
— ships
— floating offshore units (column stabilised and self-elevating)
— tension leg platforms
— fixed steel and concrete platforms
— FPSO’s.
For these structures the analysis may include integrated calcu-
lation of loads, response, capacity and checking against codes,
etc.
302 SESAM is developed by DNV Software in cooperation
with leading organisations in the maritime and offshore indus-
tries. The SESAM system is available from DNV Software,

D 400 DNV Electronic Rule Book
401 The DNV Electronic Rule Book contains the present
Rules for Classification of Ships and is issued at each revision
of the rules. It comprises the complete and updated edition:
— all chapters are consolidated and up-to-date
— amendments and corrections in Sec.3 are consistently in-
corporated at their proper place.
402 The Electronic Rule Book has powerful means to rapid-

D 500 DNV Exchange
501 DNV Exchange is a PC and web-based class informa-
tion service for shipowners. The system provides reliable, up-
to-date information on class and survey status, certificates,
conditions of class and a wealth of other information for man-
agement and technical staff alike. Shipboard installations are
also available.
502 Information included in the current system comprises:
— Full classification status of your vessels in the form of
charts, warning lamps and tables. Owner's Page is includ-
ed as a simple means for owners to monitor additional sur-
veys, audits, certificates, etc. which are not covered by the
class.
— An information bank describing DNV's primary class and
statutory services. Access to advanced searchable DNV
Rules for Classification of Ships may also be obtained -
and the first CD-ROM is supplied free of charge for instal-
lation with DNV Exchange.

form of all updated issues of Casualty Information. Fur-
ther, there are pointers to the latest updates in the DNV
rules, and IMO Requirements Timescale lookup tool.
— Search for any DNV employee, office or department, us-
ing maps, hierarchical menus and alphabetic searches.
503 A version of DNV Exchange will also provide access to
the information available from the additional class notation
NAUTICUS.

emergency sources of electrical power shall be fitted with a
speed governor which will prevent transient frequency varia-
tions in the electrical network in excess of ±10% of the rated
frequency with a recovery time to steady state conditions not
exceeding 5 seconds, when the maximum electrical step load
is switched on or off.
In the case when a step load equivalent to the rated output of a
generator is switched off, a transient speed variation in excess
of 10% of the rated speed may be acceptable, provided this
does not cause the intervention of the overspeed device as re-
quired by Ch.3 Sec.1 E300.
(IACS UR M3.2.1)
102 At all loads between no load and rated power the perma-
nent speed variation shall not deviate to a value that may be
detrimental to the reliability of any electric consumer.
Guidance note:
±5% of the rated speed is considered as a safe value.

103 Prime movers shall be selected in such a way that they
will meet the load demand within the ship’s mains.
Application of electrical load shall be possible with three load
steps and shall be such that prime movers – running at no load
– can suddenly be loaded to 1/3 of the rated power of the gen-
erator followed by the next 1/3 after an interval sufficient to re-
store the speed to a steady state condition. Finally, the sudden
load step from 2/3 to full load applies. Additionally, the prime
mover shall be able to take a sudden application of not less than
1/3 of full load when running at any part load below 2/3 of full
power. Steady state conditions shall be achieved in not more
than 5 seconds.
Steady state conditions are those at which the envelope of
speed variation does not exceed ±1% of the declared speed at
the new power.
104 Prime movers, which cannot fulfil the requirement in
103, are only accepted when the system is so designed that all
electrical power demand is served with the rate of load appli-
cations applicable for the specific prime mover installation.
105 When generator sets are running in parallel, it shall be
ensured that, in case of loss of any of these generating sets, the
remaining ones are kept in operation to permit propulsion and
steering and to ensure safety.
106 Emergency generator sets must satisfy the governor con-
ditions as per 101 and 102, even when:
a) their total consumer load is applied suddenly, or
b) their total consumer load is applied in steps, subject to:
— the total load is supplied within 45 s since power fail-
ure on the main switchboard
— the maximum step load is declared and demonstrated
— the power distribution system is designed such that the
declared maximum step loading is not exceeded
— the compliance of time delays and loading sequence
with the above shall be demonstrated at ship’s trials.
(IACS UR M3.2.4)
107 For A.C. generating sets operating in parallel, the gov-
erning characteristics of the prime movers shall be such that
within the limits of 20% and 100% total load the load on any
generating set will not normally differ from its proportionate

the splines and the support shall be a tight fit. Otherwise
special considerations shall be taken.
— The length to diameter ratio of the splines shall be so that
torsional deflections or bending (due to external forces)
deflections corresponding to a misalignment beyond 1 mi-
