Rules for Ships, July 2002
Pt.0 Ch.1 Sec.2 – Page 6
SECTION 2
INSTRUCTIONS TO USERS
A. Introduction
A 100 Introduction booklets
101 The Introduction Part 0 contains two chapters or book-
lets:
— Chapter 1: User Information, Amendments and Indexes
— Chapter 2: Introduction to Ship Classification.
They are included as guidance for the users and are not to be
considered as parts of the rule requirements, except the amend-
ments and corrections contained in Sec.3, see B602.
A 200 Present booklet
201 This booklet gives brief instructions to the users and in-
cludes master indexes as well as a list of corrections to the
rules.
202 Format and editorial details of the rules are described in
the following to facilitate easy use of the present edition of the
Rules.
203 Guidelines and notes as defined and listed in C have
been worked out to aid the users of the rules. Guidelines and
Classification Notes are published as a companion volume to
the rules, while Standards for Certification and Registers of
Approved Manufacturers as well as Registers of Type Ap-
proved Products are obtained separately upon request.
204 Computers play an ever increasing part in the evaluation
of technical feasibility, determination of scantlings, plan ap-
proval and information retrieval. A summary of the NAUTI-
CUS, PILOT and SESAM computer systems is given in D to
inform users looking for computer power. These rules them-
selves are available on CD-ROM, see D500.
A 300 Ring binders
301 The introduction booklets and the rules are published in
two ring binders, Volume 1 and Volume 2.
302 The mechanism in the binder provides for two stages of
opening. The half open position is recommended for general
reading and use of the rules. The full open position should only
be used for insertion of new chapters or removal of old chap-
ters. Every effort has been made to deliver a high quality bind-
er. Defective binders may be returned to the Society for a free
replacement. Additional binders for working files, historical
files, etc., may be supplied at a nominal charge.
B. The Rules
B 100 Format
101 The Rules for Classification of Ships, as included in the
ring binders, are published in seven parts (Pt.). Each part con-
sists of chapters (Ch.) appearing as separate booklets. The sev-
en parts are:
Pt.1 Regulations
Pt.2 Materials
Pt.3 Hull and Equipment - Main Class
Pt.4 Machinery and Systems - Main Class
Pt.5 Special Service and Type - Additional Class
Pt.6 Special Equipment and Systems - Additional Class
Pt.7 Ships in Operation
DET NORSKE VERITAS
Parts 1 and 2 contain general regulations, parts 3 to 6 cover
newbuilding requirements and part 7 deals with ships in oper-
ation.
A review of updated rule chapters is printed in Sec.1 of this
booklet and in a separate list in front of the ring binders.
102 Relevant requirements in Pt.1 to 4 are to be satisfied for
the assignment of main class. The requirements stated in Pt.5
to 6 are applicable to additional class and are in general com-
plete for the relevant notation. This implies that requirements
regarding e.g. electrical installations may be found in Pt.4, 5 or
6 depending on the class notation in question.
103 The introduction booklet and the rule chapter list giving
current status of the rules in the form of dates relevant to each
chapter will be issued with each set of amendments. It is im-
portant that the users check that the date on the front page of
the relevant rule chapter corresponds with that given in the list
in of the binders. Amendments to the rules will normally be
published twice yearly, in January and in July.
104 The front page of each chapter or booklet has a standard
format which should be self-explanatory.
105 The changes introduced in the latest edition of each
chapter will be stated on the page immediately after the front
page.
106 The first section in each chapter will normally be termed
General Requirements and will contain subsections covering
such aspects as application of the rules, definitions of symbols
and terms, list of documentation etc.
107 Each subsequent section in the chapter will begin at the
top of the page and will commence with a table of contents for
the section.
B 200 Numbering and cross references
201 A combination of digits and letters is used for easy ref-
erence. It is felt that this combination provides better visibility
with regard to levels, and is easier to handle than a five digit
string, e.g. Pt.3 Ch.1 Sec.1 A100.
Level Reference example Principle
Part Pt.3
Chapter Ch.1 always a number
Section Sec.1
Subsection A always a letter
Item 100 always a number
202 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.
203 Tables are numbered in increasing order within each
subsection, e.g. Table A1, Table A2 etc. The table number and
title are placed in the top left hand corner of the table.
204 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.

301 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.
302 The first (higher) level of definitions is given in a sepa-
rate subsection 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.
303 The second (intermediate) level of definitions is given in
subsection 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.
304 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-
lowing the formula and in any case within the same item as the
formula.
501 Master indexes has been prepared for the complete rules
in the form of a systematic index and an alphabetical index.
These indexes are presented in Sec.4 and 5 respectively.
The systematic index gives reference to sections and subsec-
tions within each part and chapter whereas the alphabetical in-
dex gives reference to the page number within appropriate part
and chapter, e.g. Pt.3 Ch.1 Page 14. Note that each chapter is
page numbered from 1.
The master index will be updated as required when chapters
are amended.
502 Two levels of table of contents are given at the begin-
ning of each chapter. A table of sections only is given on the
front page of the chapter, providing the starting page number
for each section within the chapter. A complete table of sec-
tions, subsections and main items is also included giving page
number references at subsection level.
503 A table of subsections and main items is also included at
the beginning of each section. In these tables page numbering
is not given.

D 400 SESAM
401 SESAM is a general purpose finite element program
system developed by DNV. The system incorporates advances
made during the last decade in structural and solid mechanics,
numerical analysis and computer technology. SESAM is de-
signed to handle static and dynamic analysis of:
— 2- and 3-dimensional truss/frame structures
— 2- and 3-dimensional membrane structures
— thin and thick shell structures
— axi-symmetric solids
— 3-dimensional solids
— layered structures (plating with stiffeners).
Geometrical as well as material non-linearities may be taken
into account. Particular emphasis is placed upon the develop-
ment of efficient pre- and post-processors.
402 SESAM includes integrated program packages for ex-
tensive analysis of marine and offshore structures, as:
— ships
— mobile offshore units (column stabilised and self-elevat-
ing)
— tension leg platforms
— fixed steel and concrete platforms.
For these structures the analysis may include integrated calcu-
lation of loads, response, capacity and checking against codes,
etc.
403 Several alternative methods are available. The multilev-
el superelement technique may be used for static as well as dy-
namic analysis. For dynamic analysis several methods for free
vibration and forced response analysis are available. Programs
for calculation of hydrodynamic load distributions are integrat-
ed in SESAM. The same geometry input is used for both the
hydrodynamic analysis and the structural analysis. The loads
are automatically transferred to the structural model. Fluid-
structure and soil-structure interaction may be taken into ac-
count.
404 ADVANCE is SESAM's advanced structural analysis
tool offering solutions to highly non-linear response problems.
It has additional features geared towards solving problems that
are specific to the maritime and offshore industries.
405 SESAM is developed by DNV in cooperation with lead-
ing organisations in the maritime and offshore industries. The
SESAM system is available from DNV Software, N-1322 Hø-
vik, Norway, tel: +47 67 57 76 50 or fax +47 67 57 72 72, e-
mail: software.sesam@dnv.com.

conditions of class and a wealth of other information for man-
agement and technical staff alike. Shipboard installations are
also available.
602 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 DNV Rules for Classification
of Ships may also be obtained - and the first CD-ROM is
supplied free of charge for installation with DNV Ex-
change.
— Experience-based information from DNV's records in the
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.
603 A version of DNV Exchange will also provide access to
the information available from the additional class notation
NAUTICUS.
604 The current Internet based version of "DNV Exchange
Basic" provides access to class status information, DNV Di-
rectory, Service Suppliers publications and Service Experience
such as Casualty Information. This version is available free of
charge to all owners.
605 Data is extracted daily from DNV's databases and made
available on DNV's Exchange home page on the Internet, pro-
tected by username and password (http://exchange.dnv.com).

A 200 Remote control of machinery, general requirements
201 The requirements in this chapter are additional to those
given in Ch.9 and are applicable when remote control is in-
stalled.
202 The engine room is the main command location.
203 In general, automatic starting, operational and control
systems shall include provisions for manually overriding the au-
tomatic controls. Failure of any part of such systems shall not
prevent the use of the manual override.
(SOLAS Reg. II-1/31.4)
204 Indicators shall be fitted on the navigation bridge, the
main machinery control room and at the manoeuvring platform,
for:
— propeller speed and direction of rotation in the case of fixed
pitch propellers; and
— propeller speed and pitch position in the case of controlla-
ble pitch propellers.
(SOLAS Reg. II-1/31.2.8 and 31.5.6)
205 Remote starting of the propulsion machinery shall be au-
tomatically inhibited if conditions exist which may hazard the
machinery, e.g. turning gear engaged.
206 The design of the remote control system shall be such
that in case of its failure an alarm will be given. Unless the Ad-
ministration considers it impracticable the pre-set speed and di-
rection of thrust of the propeller shall be maintained until local
control is in operation.
(SOLAS Reg. II-1/31.2.7)
207 An alarm shall be provided on the navigating bridge and
in the machinery space to indicate low starting air pressure
which shall be set at a level to permit further main engine start-
ing operations. If the remote control system of the propulsion
machinery is designed for automatic starting, the number of au-
tomatic consecutive attempts which fail to produce a start shall
be limited in order to safeguard sufficient starting air pressure
for starting locally.
(SOLAS Reg. II-1/31.2.9)
An alarm shall be initiated when the automatic starting be-
comes inhibited.
A 300 Bridge control of machinery
301 Overload shall be indicated on the bridge if automatic
load limitation is not arranged for.
302 An alarm shall be initiated on the bridge and in the en-
gine room at starting failure.
A 400 Bridge control of propulsion machinery
401 The speed, direction of thrust and, if applicable, the pitch
of the propeller shall be fully controllable from the navigating
bridge under all sailing conditions, including manoeuvring.
(SOLAS Reg. II-1/31.2.1)
402 The control shall be performed by a single control device
for each independent propeller, with automatic performance of
all associated services, including, where necessary, means of
preventing overload of the propulsion machinery. Where multi-
ple propellers are designed to operate simultaneously, they
may be controlled by one control device.

405 Remote control of the propulsion machinery shall be pos-
sible only from one location at a time, at such locations inter-
connected control positions are permitted. At each location
there shall be an indicator showing which location is in control
of the propulsion machinery. The transfer of control between
the navigating bridge and machinery spaces shall be possible
only in the main machinery space or the main machinery control
room. This system shall include means to prevent the propel-
ling thrust from altering significantly when transferring control
from one location to another.
(SOLAS Reg. II-1/31.2.5)
406 It shall be possible to control the propulsion machinery
locally, even in the case of failure in any part of the remote con-
trol system. It shall also be possible to control the auxiliary ma-
chinery, essential for the propulsion and safety of the ship, at or
near the machinery concerned.

501 Where the main propulsion and associated machinery,
including sources of main electrical supply, are provided with
various degrees of automatic or remote control and are under
continuous manual supervision from a control room the ar-
rangements and controls shall be so designed, equipped and
installed that the machinery operation will be as safe and effec-
tive as if it were under direct supervision; for this purpose Reg-
ulations 46 to 50 shall apply as appropriate. Particular
consideration shall be given to protect such spaces against fire
and flooding.
