CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Section 1. General
The Classification Rules for design and construction of self-elevating units can be found in the applicable requirements of DNV Offshore standards and MODU Rules. Recognizing that these standards are generic in nature, both in the topics covered and in the actual requirement description, there is an opportunity to construct an abstract of these with a focus on self-elevating unit relevant requirements.
Section 2. Objective
The objective of this publication is to give a complete but concise overview of the relevant technical standards and DNVs involvement for building and classing a conventional self-elevating unit. In this objective, the book is to be used in conjunction with DNV Offshore Service Specification OSS-101 and the relevant technical standards as referred to therein.
Section 3. Scope
This publication describes the technical and procedural requirements for classification of self-elevating units of a conventional design as covered by main class. Both the description of a conventional design and the scope of main class is further detailed in Part 1. This publication covers the involvement of class for a units different phases during life time, i.e. design, construction, commissioning, delivery and operation. The publication does not cover the requirements for separate additional class notations, nor the requirements for units of an unconventional design. These are detailed in DNVs Offshore Service Specification OSS-101.
Section 4. Structure
To maintain a clear overview, these rules consist of references to the relevant Offshore Standards, Service Specifications and other DNV Service Documents. The degree of reference detail is depending on the nature of the subject. To improve readability and understanding, the references are completed with a direct description of requirements. In special, a description has been included on topics of a higher complexity or risk. The first part of these Rules describes the principles of Classification and its procedures in chapter 1 and 2. The third chapter of this part continues thereafter with the overall technical principles as applicable for the design of a self-elevating unit build under DNV Classification. The technical requirements together with relevant calculations methods are discussed in detail in Parts 2 to 4. The three parts cover the main technical areas of class, subsequently Materials and Welding, Hull and Equipment and Machinery and Systems. Part 5 to 7 thereafter give a concise overview for specific phases of class involvement, that is respectively in the Component and System Certification process, the new building mechanical completion and commissioning and conclusively survey and test requirements in the operational phase after delivery. For a clear separation between the content of this publication and other DNV Rules, Standards or other service documents, references to parts, chapters and sections refer this publication if not explicitly stated otherwise.

CHAPTER 2 PROCEDURES
Section 1. Plan Approval
1.1 Format
The documentation for plan approval may be submitted on paper or as an electronic file. Any documents submitted for re-approval or re-examination shall be especially marked to identify the revised parts. Symbols used shall be explained, or reference to a standard code shall be given. Each drawing shall include a title field stating: name of vessel (when known) name of document issuing company name and signature of originator and verifier document no. document title revision no. issue date scale set of measurement units used in the document, e.g. System International.
The document title should not include the name of the vessel. The document title should include the function or component covered by the document. Unique revision numbers shall be allocated to all issues of a document, including the first issue. For documents with multiple sheets, the revision number should be the same for all sheets.
1.2 Subcontractors
Where subcontractors and suppliers are involved, the customer shall co-ordinate the submission of required plans and documents, as well as co-ordinate any approval comments given by the Society. This does not apply for materials, components and systems requiring certification as is discussed in more detail in Part 5.
1.3 Plans and data to be submitted

General list of plans and data to be submitted are included in the applicable technical chapters of Parts 2 to 4. A detailed and project specific list shall be supplied by the DNV responsible directly after the class agreement has been signed. Project specific implies that only those documentation is required as is relevant for the design and within the scope of the contractual agreement between yard and DNV.
Section 2. Certification
The scope of classification requires that specified materials, components and systems intended for the vessel are certified according to the rules. The objective of certification shall ensure that materials, components and systems used in vessels to be classed by the Society comply with the rule requirements. Certification normally includes both plan approval and survey during production and/or of the final product. A detailed description of the certification process and the specific requirements and lists of the specified materials, components and systems is given in Part 5.
Section 3. Testing and Surveys

During the building period DNV carries out surveys at the building yard and its suppliers. The purpose of these is to verify that the construction, components and equipment satisfy the rule requirements and are in accordance with the approved plans, that required materials are used, and that functional tests are carried out as prescribed by the rules. A complete description of these test and surveys is given in Part 6.
CHAPTER 3 PRINCIPLES AND CONDITIONS

Section 1. General
The table below lists references required for a complete understanding of this chapter.
Table 1-1 Overview of references Reference Title DNV-OS-D101 Marine and Machinery Systems and Equipment DNV-OS-D201 Electrical Installations DNV-OS-D202 Automation, Safety, and Telecommunication Systems
Section 2. Principles
2.1 Classification scope
These rules with the referred standards give requirements in the following areas: 1) Hull and main structure strength materials and welding corrosion protection passive fire protection weathertight and watertight integrity stability and floatability.
2) Marine and machinery installations and equipment Machinery installations and equipment, including their related auxiliary systems, to the following main functions: jacking gear fire extinguishing drainage and bilge pumping ballasting emergency shutdown systems.
3) Systems and equipment provided to prevent, detect/ warn of an accidental event and/or prevent or mitigate its effects 4) Secure integrity of shelter areas and usability of escape ways and means of evacuation
2.2 Safety and important systems

To further frame the content of the rules, the above listed areas and systems are split into safety (or essential) and important systems. Safety systems are systems needed to be continuous available or available on demand to prevent, to detect, to control or to mitigate the effects of an undesirable event, and to safeguard the personnel, environment and the installation. Examples of safety systems covered by main class: fire pumps emergency shut down (ESD) system fire and gas detection and alarm system systems required to be supplied from batteries or emergency generator, e.g. public address, emergency lighting electric generators and associated power sources supplying the above equipment. control, monitoring and safety devices or systems for safety systems. Important services ensure reliable operation and maintain the units operation within operational limitations. Examples of equipment or systems for important services covered by main class: fuel oil transfer pumps and fuel oil treatment equipment seawater pumps (note) starting air and control air compressors bilge- and ballast/preload pumps ventilating fans for engine rooms ventilating fans for gas dangerous spaces
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.1 Ch.3 Sec.3. Environmental Conditions Page 23
main lighting system watertight closing appliances jacking system bilge alarm system electric generators and associated power sources supplying the above equipment. control, monitoring and safety devices or systems for the above equipment Seawater pumps (if used as part of a fire water supply system).
2.3 Redundancy
Safety systems are always to be available. To secure that safety systems always are available, the general principle is that components and systems shall be arranged with redundancy so that a single failure of any active component or system does not cause loss of any main function. Availability is as such, further indirect defined in the requirement to a system i.e where this general principle may be waived and/ or where duplication of components is required. Redundancy can either be arranged by installing more than one unit (component redundancy) or by having two or more systems capable of performing the same functions (system redundancy). For redundancy on a component level a single failure of an active component shall not lead to a reduction of the output power for the main function served. When two or more components are performing the same function, these shall be mutually independent and at least one shall be independently driven. Components arranged as part of the designed redundancy, yet only performing important functions to a main unit, can be directly powered by the main unit through separate power transmissions, on the condition that these components are not necessary for the starting of the main unit. When traditional mechanical components are replaced by electronic components, these components shall have the same reliability as the mechanical component being replaced. Machinery or equipment having remote or automatic control, shall have additional alternative provisions for attendance and operation.
2.4 Failure effects

In the event of failure, components and systems shall enter the least hazardous of the possible failure states with regard to machinery, personnel and environment. Failure of one component in a system arranged as part of the designed redundancy shall not lead to failure or damage to backup or parallel components or systems. For failure detection see Pt.4, Ch.4, Sec.2.1.
Section 3. Environmental Conditions

All components and systems covered by this standard shall be designed to operate under the following environmental conditions unless otherwise specified in the detailed requirements for the component or system.
3.1 Design temperature

The units design temperature is a minimum temperature used as a criterion for the selection of steel grades. The design temperature shall be specified by the customer and is to be taken as the lower or equal to the lowest mean daily temperature in air for the relevant areas. For seasonal restricted operations the lowest mean daily temperature in air for the season may be applied.
Guidance note: It is underlined that design temperatures below 0 degrees are only relevant for waters in the higher latitudes (e.g. northern part of North Sea, Canadian waters etc). For these waters and their harsh conditions, relevant considerations should be taken (e.g. OS-C201, Sec.2 B304 on water trapped in local structures, OS-D101, Ch.2 Sec.3 F108 on freezing of vents, OS-D301 in protecting the fire equipment against freezing etc) In addition, class notations related to cold climate operations as listed in OSS-101, Ch.1 Sec.3, B 700 can be relevant as well.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
The design temperature shall be listed in the appendix to Class Certificate (see also Pt.6, Ch.5, Sec.3).
Guidance note: In the different offshore standards is in addition to a design temperature a service temperature defined. For selfelevating units, the two temperatures are equal.
3.2 Temperature for machinery systems and equipment

Machinery systems and equipment shall be constructed for continuous operation in the range of ambient
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.1 Ch.3 Sec.3. Environmental Conditions Page 24
temperatures as specified in the table below.

In accepting a lesser ambient temperature than 45C, it shall be ensured that electrical cables for their entire length are adequately rated for the maximum ambient temperature to which they are exposed along their length. (ref IACS UR E19)
For the different environmental classes and the specified temperature ranges as applicable for control- and communication equipment see DNV-OS-D202, Ch.2, Sec.4 B.
3.3 Cooling water temperatures

Electrical equipment shall be constructed for continuous operation under full rated load, at a seawater temperature range from 0 to +32C.
3.4 Humidity
All equipment shall be constructed to withstand, and function safely in relative humidity up to 95%.
3.5 Performance
For performance requirements of machine systems, the conditions of Table 3-2 can be applied (ref IACS UR M28):
Table 3-2 Parameter Total barometric pressure Ambient air temperature Relative humidity of air Sea water temperature Value 1 bar 45C 60% 32C
3.6 Inclinations
All machinery, components and systems essential for safe operation are to be designed for operation under the following inclination values: inclination 10 from normal level in any direction under normal static conditions inclination 15 from normal level in any direction under normal dynamic conditions
Guidance note: Other values may be accepted if justified by calculations for the particular offshore unit. National authorities may require larger inclinations.
3.7 Vibrations
Electrical equipment and components shall be constructed to withstand, without malfunctioning, or electrical connections loosening, at least a vibration frequency range 5 to 50 Hz with vibration velocity amplitude 20 mm/s. For flexible mounted equipment, special considerations shall be given to the construction of the equipment since larger vibrations may occur. For control- and communication equipment vibration requirements see DNV-OS-D202, Ch.2, Sec.4 B.

The unit or installation shall be designed and constructed with sufficient integrity to withstand operational and environmental loading throughout its lifecycle. Systems and structures shall be designed with suitable functionality and survivability for prevention of, or protection from, design accident events affecting the unit or installation. Refer also DNV-RP-C204 - Design Against Accidental Loads. The structure shall be designed to resist relevant loads associated with conditions that may occur during all stages of the life-cycle of the unit. The conditions that should be considered are: transit condition(s) installation condition operating condition(s) survival condition retrieval condition.
Section 3. Analysis and Calculations

Structural analysis shall be performed to evaluate the structural strength due to global and local effects as
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.3 Ch.1 Sec.4. Design and Loading Conditions Page 31
described in DNV-OS-C201, Sec.12 E as listed in the table below.

Methods for analysis and calculations are described by DNV-RP-C104.
3.1 Fatigue analysis

A fatigue strength analysis according to DNV-OS-C201 Sec.7 and DNV-OS-C201 Sec.12 H shall be undertaken for members and joints for which fatigue fracture is possible mode of failure. For conventional jack- ups the following areas shall normally be assessed: spudcans and leg at the leg-to spudcan connection leg and hull/jacking structure at and around the leg-to-hull connections joints and members of legs (e.g. span breakers) located at and around the splash zone. The required models and methods for fatigue analysis for self-elevating units are dependent on type of operation, environment and design type of the unit. For units operating at deeper waters where the first natural periods of the unit are within t he range of significant wave energy, the associated dynamic structural responses shall be considered in the fatigue analysis. The design fatigue life for the structure components should be based on the structure service life specified. If a service life is not specified, 20 years should be used.

If the unit is intended to be dry docked, the footing structure (i.e. spudcans) and/or the barge shall be suitably strengthened to withstand the loads.
4.2 Environmental conditions

Environmental conditions for design of self-elevating units are given by DNV-OS-C201 Sec.12 D. Combination of loads are given in DNV-OS-C201 Sec.3 F and DNV-OS-C201 Sec.12 F1200. In conjunction with combination of environmental loads for loading condition b) (ref. DNV-OS-C201 Sec.3 F104) the sustained wind velocity, i.e. the 1 minute average velocity, shall be used. If gust wind alone is more unfavourable than sustained wind in conjunction with wave forces, the gust wind velocity shall be used. For local load calculations gust wind velocity shall be used. Principles and formulas for calculation of wind loads may be taken from DNV-RP-C205 Sec.2.
Guidance note: For units intended for unrestricted service (worldwide operation) a wind velocity of not less than 51.5 m/s (v1min10) combined with maximum wave forces will cover most locations. The corresponding wind force should be based on a wind velocity profile given by DNV-RP-C205 Chapter 2. Clause 2.3.2.12, or equivalent. See also the guidance given in DNV-RP-C104 Sec.2.4.
4.3 Accidental conditions

The overall objective for design with respect to accidental conditions is that unit's main safety functions shall not be impaired by accidental events. Satisfactory protection against accidental damage may be achieved by two barriers: reduction of damage probability reduction of damage consequences. The design against accidental loads may be done by direct calculation of the effects imposed by the loads on the structure, or indirectly, by design of the structure as tolerable to accidents. Examples of the latter are compartmentation of floating units which provides sufficient integrity to survive certain collision scenarios without further calculations.
Guidance note: Recommendations for design of structures exposed to accidental events can be found in DNV-RP-C204.
General requirements for accidental events are given by DNV-OS-C201 as listed in Table 4-3.

Section 6. Structural Categorization, Material and Inspection Principles

6.1 Structural categorization
Application categories for structural components are defined in DNV-OS-C201 Sec.4. Structural members of self-elevating units with separate footing are normally found in the following groups: a) Special category Highly stressed elements of bottom of leg, including leg connection to spudcan. Intersections of lattice type- or trussed leg structure, which incorporates novel construction, including the use of steel castings. Highly stressed elements of guide structures, jacking and locking system(s), jackhouse and support structure. Highly stressed elements of crane pedestals, etc. and their supporting structure.
Guidance note: Highly stressed areas are normally considered to be areas utilized more than 85% of the allowable yield capacity.
b) Primary category Combination of bulkhead, deck, side and bottom plating within the hull which forms Box or I type acting as main beam All components of lattice type legs and external plating of cylindrical legs. Jackhouse supporting structure and bottom footing structure, which receives initial transfer of load from legs. Internal bulkheads, shell and deck of spudcan which are designed to distribute major loads, either uniform or concentrate. Main support structure of heavy substructures and equipment, e.g. cranes, drill floor substructure, life boat platform and helicopter deck. c) Secondary category Deck, side and bottom plating of hull except areas where the structure is considered primary or special application. Bulkheads, stiffeners, decks and girders in hull that are not considered as primary or special application. Internal bulkheads and girders in non-trussed legs. Internal bulkheads, stiffeners and girders of spudcan structures, except where the structures are considered primary or special application.
6.2 Material selection

General requirement to material selection are given by DNV-OS-C201 Sec.4 D For rack plates with specified minimum yield stress equal to 690 N/mm2 in rack and pinion jacking systems steel grade NV E690 is acceptable for rack plates with thickness up to 250 mm and for service temperature down to -20C.

7.1 Footing strength

Spud cans shall be designed by taking into account the effect of uneven distribution from seabed conditions and scouring. The strength checks for the spudcan, the leg-to-spudcan connections and the two lowest leg bays (lattice legs) for separate type spudcans should normally not be based on lower loads than given below: M e = 0.425 Fv R
qc =
Fv 2 0.5R
i) The design load Fv is evenly distributed over 50% of the bottom area: and, qd = design contact pressure Med = design eccentricity moment Fvd = maximum design axial load in the leg accounting for functional loads and environmental overturning loads. R = equivalent radius of spudcan contact area ii) The design load Fvd is concentrically distributed over a range of bearing areas, from the minimum design penetration (supported on spudcan tip) up to and including full spudcan bottom area. iii) If elevated condition is designed based on pinned leg footings; The spudcan and the leg-to-spudcan connections are to be designed for the maximum vertical reaction and the associated horizontal reaction in conjunction with 35% of the maximum calculated moment at the lower guide (to account for the eccentric effects of possible scour and uneven bottom conditions) acting in the most unfavourable direction. The maximum lower guide bending moment is to be calculated with pin-ended conditions. iv) If elevated condition is designed based on moment fixity at leg footings: The maximum vertical reaction, in conjunction with the associated horizontal reaction and spudcansoil fixity moment, acting in the most unfavourable direction. The maximum spudcan-soil fixity moment in conjunction with the associated vertical and horizontal reactions, acting in the most unfavourable direction. The design moments and soil pressures above are based on a relative homogenous seabed, for example for sand or clay seabed. Local stiff soil supporting in the bottom plate outside the strong tip should be avoided. It is assumed that this will be evaluated in the sea bed surveys in connection with site specific assessments when the unit is used on specific locations.
Guidance note: Cases (i) and (ii) above shall always to be checked together with one of the cases (iii) or (iv). Case (iii) or (iv) is checked based on the leg footing assumption used in design. For quadratic shaped spudcans: For rectangular spudcans with long side b and Short side s, the design load Fv can be evenly distributed over 50% of the bottom area. The corresponding design pressure

Fvd -----------qd = --0.5 b s The corresponding design moment about the two main axis: Med-1 = 0,25 Fvd b Med-2 = 0,25 Fvd s For classification the design values in (i) to (iv) will be included in the Appendix to Class Certificate as basis for design of the spudcan and lower leg.
For other types of bottom support, e.g. mats special considerations should be made.

1.3 Principles
Requirements for towing systems are given in DNV-OS-E301 Ch.2 Sec.4 and Ch.3 Sec.2 K Requirements for equipment are given in DNV-OS-E304. Non-self propelled self-elevating units are not required to have temporary mooring.
Section 2. Towing
2.1 General
The unit shall have a permanent arrangement for towing. The line between the fastening devices and the fairlead shall be unobstructed. There shall be arrangements for hang-off and retrieval of the unit's towing bridle(s) and towing pennant(s). In addition to the permanent towing arrangement, there shall be a possibility of using an emergency arrangement of equivalent strength. Application of the unit's mooring arrangement may be considered for this purpose. The design load for the towing arrangement shall be clearly stated, e.g. for classed units, in the Appendix to the classification certificate.
2.2 Material
Plate materials in towline fastening devices and their supporting structures shall be as given in Table D3 in DNV-OS-C101, Ch.1 Sec.4. The termination of towing bridle(s) and/or pennant(s) where connected to the unit should be chain cable of sufficient length to ensure that steel wire rope segments of the towing arrangement will not be subject to chafing against the unit for towline pull sector between 90 port and 90starboard. Alternatively the full length of bridle(s) and pennant(s) can be chain cable. Chain cables and shackles to be used in the towing arrangement shall be of offshore quality (R3, R3S, R4, R4S or R5) or ship chain quality K3. Green pin type shackles of polar type may be accepted provided they are certified by DNV. Towing bridles and pennants of steel wire rope shall be in accordance with the requirements given in DNV-
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.3 Ch.3 Sec.2. Towing Page 41
OS-E301 respectively E304. All eyes in towing arrangement connections shall be fitted with hard thimbles or spelter sockets in accordance with OS-E301 Ch.2 Sec.4 N.
2.3 Strength analysis

The design load for the towing arrangement shall be based on the force, FT, required for towing the unit when floating in its normal transit condition. For the purpose of determining the required towing force, thrust provided by the unit's own propulsion machinery should normally not be taken into account. The unit under tow shall be able to maintain position against a specified sea state, wind and current velocity acting simultaneously, without the static force in the towing arrangement exceeding its towing design load. As a minimum the following weather conditions shall be used for calculation of environmental drift forces, FT, for world-wide towing: sustained wind velocity: U1 min, 10 = 20 m/s (10 m above sea level) current velocity: VC = 1 m/s significant wave height: HS = 5 m zero up-crossing wave period in second: 6 Tz 9.
Guidance note: Environmental forces may be calculated according to DNV-RP-C205.
Normally the towing arrangement shall be designed for use of a single tug of sufficient capacity. If the size of the unit necessitates the use of two or more tugs pulling in the same direction, the towing design load, FD, to be used in the strength analysis for each towing bridle or pennant is a function of the required towing force and the number of tugs comprised in the design and given by: FD = ftowFT (kN) ftow
= Design load factor = 1.0, if NTUG = 1 = 1.5/NTUG, if NTUG > 1 NTUG = number of tugs comprised in the design of the towing arrangement. Guidance note: It is advised that the towing design load for each towing bridle or pennant not to be taken less than 1000 kN and that the towing arrangement is designed for use of a single tug.
The minimum breaking strength, Smbs of the unit's towing bridle(s) and/or towing pennant(s), shall not be less than 3 times the towing design load, FD. The nominal equivalent stress, e in the flounder plate is normally not to exceed f when subjected to a load equal to the breaking strength of the unit's towline, Smbs. The strength analysis shall be made for the most unfavourable direction of the towline. Towing fastening devices, including fairleads, and their supporting structures shall be designed for a load equal to the minimum breaking strength of the weakest link in the unit's towing bridle and/or towing pennants, Smbs. Strength analyses shall be made for the most unfavourable direction of the towline pull, i.e. angle of attack to device or structure. The nominal equivalent stress, e, in the towing devices and their supporting structures shall not exceed 0.9 f and 0.8 f, respectively.

The machinery and piping systems shall be arranged to prevent sea water, stored hydrocarbons or chemicals or ballast from reaching dry spaces of the installation or stored hydrocarbons or chemicals from being discharged overboard as a consequence of inadvertent operations. Measures shall also be taken to prevent inadvertent movement of ballast or stored fluids internally within these systems. Systems and tanks shall be so arranged that leakage or operation of valves will not directly lead to increased risk of damage to machinery, installation or personnel due to mixing of different fluids. Machinery, boilers and associated piping systems shall be so installed and protected as to reduce to a minimum any danger to persons onboard, due regard being paid to moving parts, hot surfaces and other hazards. Units or installations with ballast water treatment systems installed in order to meet the requirements of the Ballast Water Management Convention shall follow the requirements of Ship Rules Pt.6 Ch.18 Sec.4.
2.1 Component design

Where no specific requirements are given in these standards regarding dimensioning and choice of materials, generally recognized standards and engineering principles may be applied. If acceptable accuracy cannot be obtained by strength calculations, special tests for the determination of the strength of the design may be required. When it is of essential significance for the safety of the unit or installation that the function of a component is maintained as long as possible in the event of fire, materials with high heat resistance shall be used. Materials with low heat resistance shall not be used in components where fire may cause outflow of flammable or health hazardous fluids, flooding of any watertight compartment or destruction of watertight integrity.
Guidance note: Materials with high heat resistance are materials having a melting point greater than 925C. Materials with low heat resistance are all other materials. Deviations from the above requirement will be subject to special considerations.
Section 3. Valves
3.1 Design and tests
Requirements regarding the design of valves are given in OS-D101, Ch.2 Sec.2 E100. Required hydrostatic tests are described in E200.
3.2 Installation
Requirements regarding the installation of valves are given in OS-D101, Ch.2 Sec.1 A800
3.3 Operation
Open or closed position of valves shall be easily visible. If a valve's function in the system is not evident, there shall be adequate information on a name plate attached to the valve. Other requirements regarding the operation of valves are given in OS-D101, Ch.2 Sec.1 A700.
Section 4. Piping
4.1 Design
Marine piping systems include the following: ballast system bilge system drains system air/overflow systems sounding system cooling system lubricating oil system fuel oil system thermal oil system feed water and condensate systems steam system hydraulic system
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.4 Ch.1 Sec.4. Piping Page 46
pneumatic system firewater system. Piping systems used for safe operation of the unit or installation shall in general be separate from piping systems used for drilling or production operations. If cross connections are necessary, appropriate means shall be fitted to prevent possible contamination of the safe system from any hazardous medium. Installation of pipes for water, steam or oil behind or above electric switchboards shall be avoided as far as possible. If this is impracticable, all detachable pipe joints and valves shall be at a safe distance from the switchboard or well shielded from it. Routing of water pipes and air and sounding pipes through freezing chambers shall be avoided. For water-cooled electrical equipment seawater pipes shall be routed away from the equipment, so that any leakage in flanges do not damage the equipment. 4.1.1 Materials Materials used in piping systems shall be suitable for the medium and service for which the system is intended. The following aspects should be considered when selecting materials: type of service compatibility with other materials in the system such as valve bodies and casings, for example in order to minimize bimetallic corrosion ability to resist general and localized corrosion or erosion caused by internal fluids and/or marine environment ability to resist selective corrosion, for example de-zincification of brass, de-aluminification of aluminium brass and graphitization of cast iron ductility need for special welding procedures need for special inspection, tests, or quality control.
Guidance note: The traditional stainless steels, including type 316 or 316L, are generally not considered suitable for use in seawater systems. However, certain stainless steels with higher contents of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen have improved resistance to localised corrosion. These include high molybdenum austenitic steels and ferritic-austenitic (duplex) steels. Even these steels cannot be considered immune to attack under all situations; avoidance of stagnant seawater conditions and removal of welding oxides are some of the important factors to the successful use
Materials to be used in the construction of piping systems shall be manufactured and tested in accordance with DNV-OS-B101. Carbon steel materials are in general suitable for the majority of the piping systems. Galvanised pipes are recommended as the minimum protection against corrosion for pipes in seawater systems, including those for bilge, air vent and ballast service. Non-ferrous metallic materials may be accepted in piping system transporting flammable fluids and in bilge piping provided that fire endurance properties in accordance with a recognised code is documented. In addition to the above, additional details are given in OS-D101, Ch.2, Sec 2 as listed in the table below.

5.3 Starting arrangements

5.3.1 Capacity Starting systems for internal combustion engines shall have capacity for 3 starts each. The duration of each starting shall be minimum 10 s. If a starting system serves two or more engines, the capacity of the system shall be the sum of the capacity requirements. Additional requirements to the starting system for generator sets arranged as standby generators and/or arranged for starting in a black-out situation are given in Chapter 2 4.1. Requirements to starting of emergency generators are given below. Drivers for fire pumps required to be fed from emergency generator shall follow the same starting requirements as for emergency generators. 5.3.2 Pneumatic Compressors shall be installed with total capacity sufficient for charging air receivers of capacities specified above from atmospheric to full pressure in the course of one (1) hour. Two or more compressors of total capacity as specified above shall be installed. The capacity shall be approximately equally shared between the compressors. At least one of the compressors shall be independently (not direct connected to the engine) driven. Engines started by compressed air shall have at least two independent starting air receivers of about equal capacity. In order to protect starting air mains against explosion arising from improper functioning of starting valve, the following devices shall be fitted: an isolation non-return valve or equivalent at the starting air supply connection to each engine a bursting disc or flame arrester in way of the starting valve of each cylinder for direct reversing engines having a main starting manifold at the supply inlet to the starting air manifold for non-reversing engines. The bursting discs or flame arresters may be omitted for engines having a bore not exceeding 230 mm. The pipes and valves, including the non-return valve, shall be designed to withstand the possible back pressure if a starting valve remains open. Use of flexible hoses in the starting air system is only permitted where necessary in order to allow for relative movements. Flexible hoses with their couplings shall be type approved, see Ch.6 Sec.6 D. 5.3.3 Electric When electric starting arrangement for auxiliary engines is used, there shall be at least two separately installed batteries, connected by separate electric circuits arranged such that parallel connection is not possible.

The batteries shall be installed in separate boxes or lockers or in a common battery room with separate shelves (not above each other). The capacity of starting batteries shall comply with capacity requirements as given on the beginning of this section. If the starting batteries are also used for supplying other consumers, the capacity shall be increased accordingly.
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.4 Ch.1 Sec.6. Jacking Gear Machinery Page 51
5.3.4 Emergency generators Emergency generating set shall be equipped with starting device with a stored energy capability of at least three consecutive starts. A second source of energy shall be provided for an additional three starts within 30 minutes, unless manual starting can be demonstrated to be effective within this time. If the emergency generator is arranged for pneumatic starting, the air supply shall be from a separate air receiver. The air receiver shall not be connected to other pneumatic systems, except for the starting system in the engine room. If such a connection is arranged, the pipeline shall be provided with a screw-down non-return valve.
5.4 Start from dead ship

Dead ship condition as defined in the MODU Code Ch.1.3.15 implies for non-self propelled Self Elevating units that main power supply is out of operation and that auxiliary services (such as compressed air, starting current from batteries etc.) for the restoration of the main power supply are not available. From the above condition, the main power supply shall be brought back in operation within 30 minutes using only the facilities available on board. In addition, it shall be possible to recover from a dead ship condition with any one generator, transformer or power converter out of service. The emergency source of electrical power may be used for the purpose of starting from a dead ship condition if its capability either alone or combined with that of any other source of electrical power is sufficient to provide at the same time those services required to be supplied from the emergency power, except fire pumps. (ref MODU Code 7.9.1.2, for a list of the services see OS-D201, Ch.2, Sec.2, C103).
Section 6. Jacking Gear Machinery

6.1 General
6.1.1 Application The requirements in this section are specific for installations of the pinion rack type. These requirements apply to the gear transmissions, pinion-rack, the brake and (if applicable) flexible mounts. The jack house frame and the welding connection between rack and leg structure are dealt with in DNV-OSC201 Sec.12 G and is further discussed in Pt.3, Ch.1 of this rule book. 6.1.2 Document and plans to be submitted In general detailed information to assess the quality of the jacking gear system is supplied by its vendor. The yard shall specify a relevant load-time spectrum. This shall include at least the following: raising of the legs lowering of the legs raising of the platform lowering of the platform exceptional use (e.g. one or more units out of service) pre-load holding (static) pre-load raising (if permitted) pre-load lowering storm holding (static) motor stalling torque.
6.2 General
All jacking machinery components shall be designed for any relevant load condition mentioned above. Design safety factors etc. are valid for all foreseen operating conditions. For loads that are not foreseen, but may occur, such as motor stalling torque, lower safety factors may apply. The elements in the load-time spectrum listed above (except motor stalling torque) are vertical net loads on the rack. The following shall be included in the load spectrum: friction losses from leg guiding in the hull structure effect of variation in location of the centre of gravity of the unit or installation. Unless otherwise documented, the guide friction may be taken as 10% of the net vertical force in normal operation. When lifting in a tilted position (due to soil penetration in pre-load) higher guide friction shall be assumed. When evaluating the stresses in the jacking machinery, the influence of friction in bearings and on gear flanks shall be considered.
Jacking machinery (including pinion-rack) shall be designed so that an overload failure occurs in open machinery prior to enclosed machinery. This means that conditions such as e.g. a motor stalling or lifting with a locked brake are to cause clearly visible deformation in easily accessible parts such as pinion (preferably) or rack before any critical failure occurs in an enclosed gearbox. When a design is documented by means of tests in lieu of calculations, or by combinations thereof, lower safety factors than those required by calculations may be accepted. The level will be considered on the basis of the extent of the testing and the acceptance criteria for the various parts after the test. When units or parts of units are tested, normally the whole load spectrum shall be applied and each load level shall be multiplied with the required safety factor. When different safety factors apply, such as for tooth root strength and flank durability, the highest (i.e. tooth root strength) shall be used for testing purposes. (Due to the elevated loads, some flank deterioration is considered acceptable in this case). The jacking machinery shall be designed to avoid self-locking when descending. The minimum total efficiency in lifting mode is 2/3. The total efficiency shall include motor, gear transmission and pinion-rack.
6.3 Materials
Materials in forged and cast components are to satisfy the requirements given in DNV-OS-B101, Ch.2 Sec.3 Table B2 and Sec.4 Table B2. For materials with yield strength value higher than given in the table, the material properties are equal to the highest tabulated values. Materials in fixation chocks in the fixation system (if installed) are to be equivalent to the material in the racks.
6.4 Arrangement
The jacking units shall be arranged so that they can be removed individually for servicing. Power supply are to arranged so that no single failure prevents the jacking operation. The jacking machinery with control system is defined as an important system as defined in DNV-OS-D202, Ch.1 Sec.1 C209. In case of failures, the jacking systems shall be designed such that repair (incl. minor replacements) is possible within 3 hrs. An FMEA according to DNV-OS-D202, Ch.3 Sec.1 Table B2 is to be carried out. The jacking units shall be supported in such a way that elastic jack-house frame deflections are not harmful to the pinion-rack mesh. The jack-house frame and leg-rack shall have dimensional tolerances that permits an involute gear mesh (i.e. contact ratio is above unity) between pinion and rack under all operating conditions. Flexible (sandwich) rubber pads shall be protected by an oil based coating. The motors shall be provided with a possibility for mechanical wind-up, e.g. a square free-shaft end for crank application. An interlock shall be provided between electric motors and fixation rack system (if any), in order to prevent power supply to the motors when the fixation rack is engaged.
6.5 Gearing
6.5.1 General Details on calculation of gearing are given in Classification Note 41.2. This contains information on calculation of tooth root strength (fractures or deformation) and flank surface durability (pitting, spalling and case crushing) and scuffing for enclosed gear units. The following minimum safety factors apply (but due consideration shall be given to the principles given in 6.2: Tooth root strength, applicable to both enclosed and open gearing: safety against accumulated fatigue due to all lifting and descending loads SF = 1.5 safety against static loads as storm holding or pre-load holding SF = 1.35 safety against one motor stalling SF = 1.2. Flank surface durability, applicable to enclosed gearing, except for case crushing (surface hardened gearing) which also applies to open gears: safety against accumulated fatigue due to all lifting and descending loads SH = 1.0 safety against case crushing under static loads and one motor stalling SH = 1.0. Scuffing, applicable to enclosed gearing: safety SS = 1 except for motor stalling. Welded gears shall be stress relieved. Welds that suffer a stress variation during the rotation shall be designed to prevent (low cycle) fatigue. The permissible stress range in a full penetration weld with a smooth (accessible) backside is 0.5 times the yield strength of the softer material. For inaccessible backside or non-full penetration welds the permissible stress range is 0.2 times the yield strength of the softer material. The stress range shall be determined by finite element
method analyses and is to consider any stress concentration.

Guidance note: To facilitate asset management during the operational use of the unit, it is recommended that the fatigue life calculations as done above are made available for operational users.
6.5.2 Pinion rack For pinions the tooth profile shall be specified on a drawing. The safety factors of the gearing apply for the pinions and racks as well, with exception of rack tooth root strength for storm holding and motor stalling where tooth deformation is acceptable. For calculation of tooth root stresses of pinion and rack, load application at the tooth tip shall be assumed. Further guidance can be found in Appendix C in Classification Note 41.2. 6.5.3 Gear casings and bearing structure Welded gear casings and supporting structure around bearings shall be stress relieved. The casings and bearing structures shall be designed to prevent deflections that may be harmful for the gearing. The design shall enable inspections of the gearing and plain bearings. For parallel shaft gears this means inspection openings, and for epicyclic gears openings for access with boroscope. In addition, it is recommended that appropriate oil sample points are installed. 6.5.4 Shafts and connections Connections as shrink fitting, bolted wheels, flange bolts, splines, keys, etc. shall fulfil the criteria given in Classification Note 41.2. Shafts shall be designed to have safety against yielding that is consistent with the tooth root strength criteria in 6.2. Combined bending and torsion shall be considered. Stress concentration factors may be taken from relevant literature or from the Classification Note 41.2. Special consideration shall be given to high speed shafts accumulating more than 104 cycles. 6.5.5 Bearings Ball and roller bearings shall have a minimum L10a (ISO 281) life time that is suitable with regard to the specified overhaul intervals. The influence of the lubrication oil film may be taken into account for L10a, provided that the necessary conditions, in particular cleanliness, are fulfilled. The surface pressure (on projected area) in plain bearings shall not exceed 50% of the yield strength of the bearing material when the maximum load is applied. The bearings and lubrication are also to be designed to avoid wear that could be harmful for the gear meshes.
6.6 Brakes
A shaft brake shall be provided. This is to engage automatically in the event of power failure to the jacking machinery. The brake is to be designed to operate at least at a shaft speed corresponding to the maximum operational jacking speed + 10%. The static brake friction torque shall not be less than 1.3 times the maximum torque at the brake position.
6.7 Flexible mountings

Flexible mounting of the jacking units will be specially considered. Possibilities for replacement of these flexible mountings are to be taken into account.
6.8 Control and monitoring

The following control and monitoring arrangements are required: a) Remote indication and alarm if a brake is not released when power applied to the motors. The brake alarm shall be given by an independent mechanical sensor.
b) Remote indication and alarm for overheating of an electric motor. c) A permanent remote indication of loads during jacking and retrieval shall be provided. For a lattice leg unit the load per chord is as a minimum to be presented. Alarm signal to be given when maximum load
is exceeded.
6.9 Testing & inspection

6.9.1 General The testing of the jacking gear system shall in general consist of workshop testing, inspection after installation and testing on board. A complete overview is to be found in DNVs Shipping Rules, Pt.4, Ch.4, Sec.2 C as follows:
Table 6-1 Description Certification of parts Pinion and wheels Welded gear designs Ancillaries Assembling Reference in DNVs Shipping Rules, Pt.4, Ch.4, Sec.2 C Sec.2, C100 Sec.2, C200 Sec.2, C300 Sec.2, C400 Sec.2, C500
6.9.2 Workshop testing Spin test and contact pattern test shall be carried out according to the Rules for Classification of Ships Pt.4 Ch.4. Sec 2D. 6.9.3 Installation inspection The alignment between the pinions and rack shall be checked both longitudinally and with regard to distance between pinion centre and rack.

The following principles apply to electrical installations: Electrical installations shall be such that the safety of passengers, crew and unit from electrical hazards, is ensured. There shall be two mutually independent and self contained electric power supply systems on board: main electric power supply system emergency electric power supply system. Exceptions are given in DNV-OS-D201, Ch.2 Sec.2 C104. Services required for normal operation of the offshore unit shall be operable with the emergency electrical power generation and distribution system being unavailable, unless such services are permitted to be powered by emergency electrical power supply only. All consumers that support functions required to be available in normal operation, shall be supplied from distribution systems independent of the emergency electrical power supply system. Exemptions are made for one of redundant consumers required for dead ship recovery. All consumers required to be available in emergency operation shall be supplied from distribution systems independent of the main electric power supply system.

Hazardous areas are classified as follows: Zone 0: in which an explosive gas atmosphere is continuously present or present for long periods. (Typical for continuous grade source present for more than 1000 hours a year or that occurs frequently for short periods). Zone 1: in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation. (Typical for primary grade source present between 10 and 1000 hours a year). Zone 2: in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation, and if it does occur, is likely to do so infrequently and will exist for a short period only. (Typical for secondary grade source present for less than 10 hours per year and for short periods only).
3.2 Battery rooms, paint stores, and welding gas bottle stores
Electrical equipment installed in battery rooms lockers or boxes, paint stores or welding gas bottle stores, and in ventilation ducts serving such spaces shall be suitable for installation in zone 1 with the following requirements for gas group and ignition temperature: battery rooms: minimum gas group II C and temperature class T1 paint stores: minimum gas group II B and temperature class T3 welding gas bottle stores: minimum gas group II C and temperature class T2. Cables routed through such spaces shall either be suitable for installation in hazardous area zone 1, or be installed in metallic conduit. Areas on open deck within 1m of inlet and exhaust ventilation openings or within 3 m of exhaust outlets with mechanical ventilation are classified as zone 2. Enclosed spaces giving access to such areas may be considered as non-hazardous, provided that: the door to the space is a gastight door with self-closing devices and without holding back arrangements (a watertight door is considered gastight) the space is provided with an acceptable, independent, natural ventilation system ventilated from a safe area warning notices are fitted adjacent to the entrance to the space stating that the store contains flammable liquids or gas. Battery rooms and lockers or boxes shall be regarded as zone 2 hazardous areas with respect to access doors, lids or removable panels and possible interference with other rooms.

Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.6 Ch.2 Sec.1. Objective Page 92
CHAPTER 2 SURVEY PLANNING

The objectives of survey planning is to: 1) ascertain various activities that are necessary for the Classification of a unit 2) to identify Customers, DNVs and various standards and procedures that are applicable to those activities 3) to define the extent of involvement by the Customer and DNV.
Section 2. Scope
This section applies to the offshore construction activities at any of the following: 1) Customers construction facilities 2) Subcontractors at the Customers construction facilities 3) Subcontractors at their own facilities or at other remote locations. It does not cover the certification of equipment and materials.
Section 3. Quality Survey Plan

The objectives as listed above are met by the definition and further processing of a so called Quality Survey Plan (QSP). This QSP is defined after a review of the construction facility, and is further discussed and agreed during a new-building survey planning-kick off meeting. These phases are discussed in more detail in the remaining of this section.
3.1 Review of the construction facility

DNV is to familiarize itself with the Customers production facilities, management processes, and safety procedures for consideration in determining the contents and application of Table 5-1. This familiarization shall take place prior to starting any fabrication or construction. Such familiarization will take place under the following circumstances: 1) Where DNV has no recent experience at the construction facility (typically after a lapse of one year) or when a significant new infrastructure to the facility has been added 2) Where there has been a significant management or personnel restructuring, having an impact on the ship or offshore construction processes or, 3) Where the builder contracts to construct a vessel of a different type or substantially different in design. In order to assess compliance with specified Rules, Standards and Regulations, the Society may require additional documentation and carry out an assessment of yards processes, systems, and personnel related to the classification projects. The results of the assessment should be used as a basis to decide on the extent of the involvement of surveyors of the Society. The extent of the Classifications Societys involvement for the site survey activities shall be clearly documented in a so called Quality Survey Plan (QSP). A draft format for such a plan is given in DNV-RP-C204, Table 5-1. Where DNV has no recent experience with new building activities at the builders construction facility or its subcontractors and/or when significant new infrastructure has been added, DNV may initiate an MPQA and evaluate the Customers QA/QC-performance and set the initial survey scope on basis of the MPQA rating methodology.
3.2 Kick-off meeting

Prior to commencement of any new building project, the Customer and DNV are to discuss at a kick-off meeting the survey activity items listed as documented during the review of the facility (see above). The purpose is to agree how the list of specific activities shown in the Table is sufficiently comprehensive, to be adjusted, if necessary and to be addressed. A record of the meeting is to be made, based upon the contents of the Table, (the table can be used as the record with comments made inserted in the appropriate column). The Customer may be asked to agree to undertake ad hoc investigations during construction where areas of concern arise. DNV is to be kept informed of the progress of any investigation. Whenever an investigation is undertaken and, if warranted by the severity of the problem, the Customer should suspend relevant construction activities until counteractive measures are satisfactorily implemented, reviewed and accepted by the Society.
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.6 Ch.2 Sec.3. Quality Survey Plan Page 93
3.2.1 Quality standards Construction quality standards for the hull structure, piping, electrical, HVAC and other disciplines during new building project are to be properly listed in this document, reviewed and agreed during the kick-off meeting.
3.3 Survey extent

It shall be underscored that the QSP table is not exhaustive, and in cases where the QSP is incomplete and/or not necessarily covering all survey aspects, it shall be the prerogative of DNV to require such activities/items added. The QSP only covers survey activities and does not cover the technical interpretations of the statutory requirements or approval of plans, designs and manuals required by the Regulations. It should be noted that the level of DNV involvement indicated on the QSP takes account of the activities of others, and DNV reserves the right to adjust its level of involvement if reduced involvement by others is experienced or if the requisite quality is not achieved.

CHAPTER 5 DELIVERABLES
Section 1. Class Certificate
When DNV is satisfied that the requirements specified for the unit in question have been met, the appropriate class notation will be assigned and confirmed by the issuance of a classification certificate. Provided the requirements for retention of class are complied with, the certificate will normally have a validity of five years.
Section 2. Conditions of Class

Class may be assigned with Conditions of Class. These conditions may apply for equipment subject to class approval not readily commissioned in accordance with approved testing and commissioning procedures. The outstanding testing and commission procedures should be minor of nature. Conditions of Class do not apply for critical systems e.g., fire fighting/detection, life-saving appliances and navigational aids. If these are not commissioned, Class and Statutory Certificates are typically not issued.
Section 3. Appendix to Class Certificate

An Appendix to the Class Certificate will be issued stating assumptions for the assignment of class and restrictions regarding the use of the vessel which were established or assumed at the time of assignment of class. The Appendix to classification certificate shall be on board all vessels built to DNV's class. The appendix contains information on: 1) class notations and register information 2) general and special assumptions related to the particular ship, which may include reference to operational instructions.
Section 4. Additional Declarations

Upon request, declarations confirming compliance with the rules may be issued for hull, machinery or specific class notations provided the Society's main class has been assigned.
Section 5. Statutory Certificates

The Society undertakes statutory certification on behalf of flag administrations when and to the extent the Society has been authorized to do so by the individual flag administration. Statutory certification includes inter alia approval, survey and the issuance of statutory certificates. When the Society acts on behalf of a flag administration, the Society follows international statutory instruments, IACS Unified Interpretations and DNV Statutory Interpretations, and generally follows guidance issued by IMO in Circulars etc. unless the flag administration has instructed the Society otherwise. It is assumed by the Society that required statutory surveys for vessels classed by the Society will be carried out by the Society or by officers of the flag administration itself and that statutory certificates will be issued by the Society or by the flag administration with the exceptions mentioned in the paragraphs below. The Society assumes the right to withdraw class if statutory certificates are not issued as described in this paragraph. The Society may accept that Safety Management Certificates (ISM Code) are issued by a third party that has been authorized by the flag administration and complies with IMO Resolution A.739(18) and A.789(19). The Society may accept that International Ship Security Certificates (ISPS Code) are issued by a third party that has been authorized by the flag administration and complies with MSC/Circ.1074. The Society may accept that Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificates (SOLAS) are issued by a third party that has been authorized by the flag administration. For a dually classed vessel, where the Society has not been authorized by the flag administration to issue statutory certificates, the Society may accept that such certificates are issued by the dual class society provided the other class society is authorized by the flag administration.
PART 7 CLASSIFICATION IN OPERATION
This part gives an overview of the survey and inspection of class during the operational phase, focusing on the specific aspects affecting the safety and reliability of a self-elevating unit in operation. The table below lists references required for a complete understanding of this chapter.

2.1 Damage and repairs

Excursions from the units design envelop, e.g. punch through or rack phase difference, shall be reported. Repairs to the hull structure, machinery, systems or equipment covered by the rules shall be carried out by qualified personnel and in compliance with applicable rules, with good engineering practice and under the supervision of a surveyor. Repairs as may be carried out without the attendance of a surveyor (e.g. during voyage) provided a repair plan is accepted by the Society in advance. A surveyor shall be called for acceptance of such repairs when completed.
2.2 Temporary equipment

The Society shall be informed before the installation of temporary equipment as defined in Sec.1, B200. Temporary equipment covered by class scope shall be approved and certified in line with normal class procedures as described in the previous parts. For temporary equipment outside class scope, it shall be confirmed that placement of this equipment on board does not negatively affect the safety of the unit.
Guidance note: For the consideration, the following is typically to be considered: - escape ways shall not been blocked - fire and gas system covers the temporary equipment - equipment is covered by the ESD logic - equipments load is within deck load limits - definition of hazardous areas takes into account the temp. equipment - interface to other systems covered by main class does not negatively affect their availability.
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.7 Ch.2 Sec.3. Special Provisions for Ageing Units Page 101
Section 3. Special Provisions for Ageing Units

To be able to assess the safety and availability of ageing units, the effects of fatigue shall be taken into account. Ageing units in this respect are defined as units with nominal age equal to or higher than documented fatigue life, 20 years if there is no documentation available. A fatigue utilisation index (FUI) may be calculated. The FUI is defined as the ratio between the effective operational time and the documented fatigue life.
3.1 Calculation of fatigue life

Calculation of effective operational time shall be based on recorded operations history. For the purpose of calculating the FUI, the following may be assumed: contribution from operation in harsh environment, e.g. North Sea, North Atlantic and Canada, equals actual operating time in such environment contribution from operation in other environments equals one third (1/3) of actual operating time in such environments periods of lay-up and yard stay may be disregarded contribution from transit operation. Owner shall submit FUI or historical data allowing for calculation of FUI as part of the planning process prior to renewal survey when the nominal age exceeds the documented fatigue life. The FUIs may be calculated separately and in detail for various parts of the unit such as: leg nodes spud cans jack house deck structure.
The calculations may reflect the various degrees of bottom restraints and loading pattern resulting from the deck being fixed at various levels during the operations history of the unit.
Guidance note: Based on the above calculation a condition based approach can be applied for the inspection planning. The condition based inspection planning can be based on a high level, refined, fatigue analysis as proposed in DNV-RPC203.
3.2 Follow up
Operation of the unit may continue when the FUI exceeds 1.0 provided the required safety level of the vessel is maintained. If no fatigue cracks have been found in a vessel prior to the FUI reaching 1.0, or if any findings have been evaluated to have insignificant influence on the fatigue capacity, no special provisions will be required until such cracks are detected. For a vessel with FUI > 1.0 and where cracks have been detected in fatigue sensitive areas, the required safety level is in general considered satisfied either by increasing the inspection frequency or by performing a condition based assessment for the vessel. The method and procedure applied for the assessment will be reflected in the acceptance of the future inspection program. A guide for condition based inspection planning is given below.
Guidance note: A condition based inspection planning is performed by judging the vessel based on the actual condition rather than on age in order to maintain the required safety level. In this context a scope implementing all or parts of the following procedure can/should be performed: - Apply the results from a fatigue analysis. The detail level of the analysis will influence the results. Higher detail level reduces the uncertainties and increases the confidence in the results and hence reduces the inspection frequency. - Mapping of critical connections w.r.t. fatigue capacity, i.e. ranking of fatigue sensitive details. - Identify details to be modified/upgraded w.r.t. fatigue strength. - Determine required safety level - dependent on consequence and access for inspection. - Apply the fatigue results in a risk based analysis (RBI) including historical data from inspections/findings and inspection quality for preparing the inspection program. - Evaluate the result from inspections (findings) and/or analysis and perform modifications/improvements ensuring that the associated risks are adequately controlled. - Perform a continuous updating of the inspection plan based on inspection results. The inspection plan obtained from a condition based approach is highly dependent on the method and procedure applied; including the confidence level of the parameters considered. Less confidence increases the probability of DET NORSKE VERITAS AS
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.7 Ch.2 Sec.4. Alternative Survey Arrangements Page 102
failure (PoF) and hence the inspection frequency will increase.

The Society will issue a MO (Memo to Owner) stating the FUI and agreed compensating measures prior to the renewal survey for the 5-year period in which the FUI exceeds 1.0. The special provisions for maintaining required safety level focus on the fatigue and corrosion properties of the hull and supporting structure. Degradation mechanisms due to ageing effects related to other aspects such as marine systems must also be given due consideration by owner through maintenance, and by DNV surveyors through regular surveys. Associated plans and procedures, i.e. condition based inspection plans applying risk based approach, shall be approved by the Society. The scope of the improvement program will depend on the initial assessment and owner's plans for further use of the unit. Units which have undergone an assessment and improvement program as outlined above to the Society's satisfaction, will be surveyed based on the modified inspection program.
3.3 Additional inspections

The inspections in this section applies only if: when the FUI exceeds 1.0 (if calculated) and/or fatigue deficiencies have been found in fatigue prone and a condition based approach as discussed in section 3.2 is not considered Systematic thickness measurements shall be performed at renewal surveys as specified in Sec.4 D207. Owner shall submit a program for such measurements for approval prior to the renewal survey. Owner shall document that the corrosion protection of the unit's hull is adequate and in line with conditions assumed in original design. The corrosion protection system is to be specially surveyed. The NDE inspection scope as planned for the renewal survey - 5 year interval - is to be performed at intermediate survey- 2 year interval. The areas subjected for NDE shall be selected with focus on probability of cracking and consequence of possible failures. As a guide the following areas should be considered: leg connection to spudcan leg nodes in the bay above the spudcan leg nodes located above jack house in transport condition leg nodes located below jack house in operation condition essential connections within jack house.
The scope for survey of jacking gears as outlined in Ch.4, Sec.3.3.1 shall increase to 20% of jacking gear units but not less than two units per leg.
Section 4. Alternative Survey Arrangements

Alternative survey arrangements may be accepted as an option to applicable periodical surveys for main class.

Section 2. Planning
2.1 General
All units shall be subjected to periodical and specific surveys in order to confirm that the hull, machinery, equipment and systems remain in satisfactory condition and in compliance with approval or accepted standards.
2.2 Periodical surveys

Periodical surveys will belong to one of the following categories according to the level of survey requirements: annual survey intermediate survey complete survey. The survey required in conjunction with issuance of a new class certificate is denoted renewal survey. Specific details regarding the definition of the surveys are given in OSS-101, Ch.3, Sec.1 B as listed in the table below.
Table 2-1 Description General Postponement of periodical surveys Survey of units out of commissioning Survey schedules Reference in OSS-101, Ch.3, Sec.1 B B100 B200 B300 C100
The periodical survey covers systems and parts for: structure and equipment1) machinery and safety systems2) temporary equipment as defined in Ch.1 Sec.1 B200.
1) 2) Excluding outside bottom spudcan and underwater part of legs as covered by specific surveys (ref section 2.3) Adjusted depending on the followed alternative survey schemes (ref Ch.2 Table 5-1).
Specific details on the extent are specified in the in-service inspection programme as discussed in Section 2.4 and the following chapters
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.7 Ch.3 Sec.1. Preparation Page 105
The surveys may be performed on location and without interrupting the function of the unit, provided that they
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.7 Ch.3 Sec.2. Planning Page 105
are based on approved procedures outlined in a maintenance system and survey arrangement.
2.3 Specific surveys

Besides the standard periodical surveys, the following specific surveys are defined: Bottom survey (covering external hull) Spudcan-leg survey (covering spudcans and the underwater areas of legs, together with their connections) Survey after ocean transit The bottom survey and spudcan and leg survey are to both to be taken two times in any five (5) year period, with an interval not exceeding three (3) years between examinations. The execution of each these surveys is mutually independent and may be aligned with the units operations.
Guidance note: It is noted that a bottom survey is easy to perform in operating/ elevated condition, while the spudcan and leg survey is easy to perform during a dry tow.
Consideration may be given at the discretion of the Society and with acceptance of the flag to any special circumstances justifying an extension of the interval.
Guidance note: An example of such a consideration is the spud can and lower leg partly or completely under the mud line. In such a case the spud can- leg survey may be postponed to the next rig move (ref IACS UR Z15 2.3.3).
Specific surveys are discussed in detail in Ch.5
2.4 In-service Inspection Program (IIP)

DNV will develop and maintain an In-service Inspection Program (IIP) which will contain the structural items to be surveyed to satisfy the requirements of main class, excluding any additional class notations. The IIP constitutes the formal basis for surveying structural items under main class and shall be completed to the satisfaction of attending surveyor before renewal survey can be credited. The In-service Inspection Program (IIP) is developed on the basis of a general, experience-based scope in combination with design and fabrication particulars for the actual unit as well as experience from in-service surveys of units of similar type. The basic scope for development of IIP for units of self-elevating type is as given in Table 2-2. The extent of examination specified may be modified based on design documentation evaluation, inspection results / crack history and experience with similar units /details and may be refined by use of RBI / RCM methodologies.
Guidance note: At the 1st Annual or intermediate survey after construction, column-stabilised and self-elevating units may be subject to examination of major structural components including non-destructive testing, as deemed necessary by the Society. If the Society deems such survey to be necessary, the extent should be agreed to by the Society and the owner or client prior to commencement of the Survey.
Guidance note: See RP-C302 Risk Based Corrosion Management for an RBI approach towards corrosion management.

In addition to the above, spot checks may be taken in other areas in order to assess the general condition of the unit.
Guidance note: Recommended locations for the spot checks are the main deck (often problem area due to frequent deck loading/ unloading) and pre-load tanks.
Average corrosion is defined as the average corrosion rate for a typical structural member. Local corrosion is defined as the local corrosion limited by an area of 500 500 mm within a plate-field defined by two stiffeners and adjacent web-frames. Table 3-1 specifies the allowable reduction for the two specific areas.
Guidance note: It is noted that general designs do not take into account additional corrosion margins. Notwithstanding, if these are included and documented, the reduction as specified in the table is exclusive this margin and the total allowable reduction is the margin + a specified share of the plate/member thickness. For DNV requirement for corrosion margin is referred to DNV-OS-C101, Sec.10, B407
Table 3-1 Average corrosion 5% reduction is allowed in special areas subject to high fatigue loads. These areas are normally identified in the In-Service Inspection Program (IIP) 10% reduction is allowed in areas taking part in the global structural strength, or being part of the watertight integrity of the unit 15% reduction is allowed in areas not taking part in the global structural strength and not being part of the watertight integrity of the unit.
Local corrosion 5% reduction is allowed in special areas subject to high fatigue loads. These areas are normally identified in the In-Service Inspection Program (IIP) 15% reduction is allowed for plates in areas taking part in the global structural strength, or being part of the watertight integrity of the unit 20% reduction is allowed in areas not taking part in the global structural strength and not being part of the watertight integrity of the unit.

3.5 General
The presence of required signboards shall be verified.
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.7 Ch.5 Sec.1. Record Keeping Page 113
CHAPTER 5 OTHER SURVEYS

Section 1. Record Keeping
Plans and procedures for underwater inspection shall be submitted for review in advance of the survey and made available on board. Submitted data, after review by the Society, will be subject to revision if found to be necessary in light of experience.
Guidance note: The Society may consider alternative methods for providing adequate assurance that a unit's bottom is in a satisfactory condition at the mid-term class period survey. A survey based on such alternative methods is subject to acceptance by the relevant flag administration.
Section 2. Bottom Survey

For the interval of the bottom survey see Ch.3 Sec.2.3. The bottom survey afloat may replace the statutory dry docked survey provided acceptance from the flag. Underwater Inspection in lieu of Drydocking Survey may not be acceptable where there is record of abnormal deterioration or damage to the underwater structure; or where damage affecting the fitness of the unit is found during the course of the survey. Valves are checked for proper condition / closing and operation, often fitted with remote operation by means of rod extensions etc Sea chests and other sea inlets and discharges (above and below the waterline) with valves, including sanitary valves and scupper valves, shall be opened for survey.
Section 3. Spudcan & Leg Survey

3.1 General
For the interval of the Spudcan and Leg survey see Ch.3 Sec.2.3. Considerations shall be given to safe entry and accessibility of the spudcans before the survey.
Guidance note: The considerations include ventilation, arrangements for pumps, cables for lighting etc.
3.2 Scope
The spudcan & leg survey includes the leg nodes below the upper guide in transit. The nodes above this guide are inspected during the normal periodical surveys.
3.3 Inspection
External surfaces of spudcans, mat, underwater areas of legs, together with their connections as applicable, shall be selectively cleaned to the satisfaction of the attending surveyor and examined. The surveyor is to be satisfied with the condition of the internal structure of the spudcans. Leg connections to spudcans are to be examined at each dry-dock survey or equivalent The cathodic protection system of the submerged zone shall be surveyed. The efficiency of the system for the forthcoming 5-year period shall be confirmed. The cathodic protection system shall be surveyed by visual inspection of sacrificial anodes and extent of corrosion. Corrosion in welds of vital parts which may be subject to fatigue shall be particularly considered.
Section 4. Survey after Ocean Transit

After an ocean transit, a survey is to ensure that the unit is in sound condition and did not suffer from damage from bad weather during the transit, otherwise consequences of inappropriate shimming of the legs. This post- transit survey applies both for wet and dry tows and shall be carried out before elevating the unit. The survey shall consist of the visual inspection and NDT testing with a focus on the following structural areas: Jackhouse structure and connection to the hull,
Offshore Service Specification DNV-OSS-104, April 2012 Pt.7 Ch.5 Sec.4. Survey after Ocean Transit Page 114
Leg Nodes in way of upper/lower guides and chord spudcan connection. Main deck area in way of support of gearboxes. The owner is to prepare a survey plan including details of the tow to be submitted to the Society for approval prior to commencement. The owner may perform the survey himself. If the survey reveals damages, DNV is to be involved in line with Chapter 2, Section 2.1. If no damages are found, inspection records are to be shown at the next periodical survey.
CHAPTER 6 PERMANENTLY INSTALLED SELF-ELEVATING UNITS

The requirements and guidance given in Chapter are supplementary requirements for units that are intended to stay on location for prolonged periods, normally more than 5 years. Permanently installed self-elevating units shall be designed or documented for the site specific environmental and soil conditions. Fatigue properties and facilities for survey on location shall be specially considered. Adequate corrosion protection shall be implemented to cover the entire prolonged operation period.
Section 2. Fatigue
Design Fatigue Factors (DFF) are introduced as fatigue safety factors. DFF shall be applied to structural elements according to the principles in DNV-OS-C101. Fatigue safety factors applied for permanently installed self-elevating units shall be given dependent on the criticality of the detail and accessibility for inspection and repair. Special considerations should be made for the leg in the splash zone, submerged parts legs and spudcan, and possible inaccessible parts of the spudcan. The fatigue analysis should focus on members that are essential to the overall structural integrity of the unit. Fatigue susceptible areas may include: the leg to hull holding system the leg members and joints in the vicinity of the upper and lower guides the leg members and joints in the splashing zone the leg members and joints in the lower part of the leg near the spudcan the spudcan to leg connection.
Guidance note: See DNV-OS-C101 Sec.10 B200 with respect to vertical extent of splash zone.
Section 3. Inspection and Maintenance

3.1 Facilities for survey
Surveys may be carried out on location based on agreed procedures outlined in a maintenance system and survey arrangement, without interrupting the function of the unit. The following matters shall be taken into consideration to be able to carry out surveys on location: arrangements and methods for survey of hull, legs and seabed foundation structure corrosion protection of hull, legs and seabed foundation structure underwater cleaning facilities. The In Service Inspection program (IIP) should reflect possible stress concentrations in critical areas, fatigue criticality, and the previous operational and inspection histories.
Section 4. Jacking System

When the jack up unit is intended for permanently installation as defined in section 1 and has arrangements for a fix load transfer by a permanent fixation system, the jacking system will be excluded from DNV scope of work for classification after the initial jacking of the unit.
