Scope and Conditions of Classification
Rules for Classification (1 January 2008)
Application of Rules
General
These Rules are applicable to Mobile Offshore Drilling Units intended for unrestricted ocean service, except where specifically mentioned otherwise. These requirements are applicable to those features that are permanent in nature and can be verified by plan review, calculation, physical survey or other appropriate means. Any statement in the Rules regarding other features is to be considered as a guidance to the designer, builder, Owner, et al.
Application (2005)
The application of the Rules is, in general, based on the contract date for construction between the shipbuilder and the prospective owner. (e.g., Rules which became effective on 1 July 2004 are not applicable to a drilling unit for which the contract for construction was signed on 30 June 2004.) See also 1-1-4/3 of the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification - Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1).
