Introduction
The year 2011 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels is a complete reprint of the 2010 edition, consisting of the eleven (11) booklets as shown in Table 1. In this regard, we would bring the following to the user's attention:
a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Conditions
of Classification (Part 1) is to reflect the expanded contents
of PART 1, as a result of including consolidated requirements for
"Classification" applicable to all types of and sizes of vessels,
barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems
b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2) of PART 2 is to emphasize the common applicability of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2 more readily a common "PART" of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate.
c) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Survey
After Construction (Part 7) is to reflect the expanded
contents of PART 7, as a result of including consolidated
requirements for "Surveys After Construction" applicable to all
types and sizes of vessels, barges and specific shipboard
arrangements/systems
