Comparison Of The Rules Of Classification Societies (IACS Members) In The Area Of Submersible Maneuvering

Abstract

The Classification Societies find their purpose of existence from the requirement of ensuring safety of merchant activities on seaways. This high-level requirement contains all the safety related aspects of cargo and passenger transportation as well as extraction of resources from seas/under seabed and renewable energy production from wind and waves. The scope of a Classification Society in that high-level requirement is limited on the platform and its systems. A few decades ago, this scope is even more limited and solely consists of activities, which were performed on sea surface. Increasing dependency on the resources under the ocean floor, emergence concept of underwater cargo transportation and developing industry of tourist submarine cruises enlarged this scope. As a consequence of this “underwater” rules were developed by Classification Societies. These rules are mostly the adapted versions of the surface rules. They generally consist of strength, reliability and redundancy of the platform and its systems. However, maneuvering is not directly mentioned in the current versions of the underwater rules. On contrary to the surface vessels maneuvering characteristics can have vital consequences on the safety of underwater vehicle. The reason behind this, is the additional 2-DOF that a submersible has in the vertical plane. This paper is aiming to summarize the current status of the rules on submersible maneuvering of the Classification Societies that are members of IACS (International Association of Classification Societies). Then the existing rules were categorized. A comparison was made between Classification Societies for each of the rule to come out a conclusion about the maturity and commonality level of each category.
