STEEL VESSELS UNDER 90 METERS (295 FEET) IN


LENGTH
2017

NOTICE NO. 1 – JULY 2017

The following Rule Changes were approved by the ABS Rules Committee on 30 May 2017 and
become EFFECTIVE AS OF 1 JULY 2017.

(See http://www.eagle.org for the consolidated version of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels Under
90 meters (295 feet) in Length, 2017, with all Notices and Corrigenda incorporated.)

Notes - The date in the parentheses means the date that the Rule becomes effective for new construction based
on the contract date for construction, unless otherwise noted. (See 1-1-4/3.3 of the ABS Rules for
Conditions of Classification (Part 1).)

PART 3 HULL CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT


CHAPTER 2 HULL STRUCTURES AND ARRANGEMENTS
SECTION 11 RUDDERS AND STEERING EQUIPMENT

17 Double Plate Rudder


(Revise Paragraph 3-2-11/17.1 and add new 3-2-11/Figures 5, 6, and 7, as follows:)

17.1 Strength (1 July 2017)


The section modulus and web area of the rudder mainpiece are to be such that the stresses indicated in the
following Subparagraphs are not exceeded.
In calculating the section modulus of the rudder, the effective width of side plating is to be taken as not
greater than twice the athwartship dimension of the rudder. Bolted cover plates on access openings to pintles
are not to be considered effective in determining the section modulus of the rudder. In order for a cover
plate to be considered effective, it is to be closed using a full penetration weld and confirmed suitable by
non-destructive testing method. Generous radii are to be provided at abrupt changes in section where there
are stress concentrations, including in way of openings and cover plates. When inspection windows are
located in the panel below the rudder hub, the stress is to be as permitted in way of cutouts.
Moments, shear forces and reaction forces are to be as given in 3-2-11/7.5 and 3-2-11/13.5.
For spade rudders and rudders with horns, the section modulus at the bottom of the rudder is not to be less
than one-third the required section modulus of the rudder at the top of the rudder or at the center of the
lowest pintle.
Special attention is to be paid in design and construction of rudders with slender foil sections in the vicinity
of their trailing edge (e.g., hollow foil sections, fishtail foil sections). Where the width of the rudder blade
at the aftermost vertical diaphragm, w, is equal or less than 1/6 of the trailing edge length measured between
the diaphragm and the trailing edge, , finite element vibration analysis of the rudder blade is also to be
submitted for review. See 3-2-11/Figure 5.

Spade rudders with an embedded rudder trunk are to have a trailing edge with dimensions that satisfy the
following requirements:
i) For a rudder trailing edge having a monotonous transition to a rounded end with a finite thickness
or diameter (see 3-2-11/Figure 6), the vortex shedding frequency calculated using the equation
given below is to be higher than 35 Hz.
S tU
fs =
β D D + βT T
where
fs = vortex shedding frequency, in Hz
U = flow velocity, in m/s (ft/s), which is taken as vessel’s design speed with
vessel running ahead at the maximum continuous rated shaft rpm and at the
summer load waterline
St = nominal Strouhal number
= 0.18
βD = 0.27
C = minimal chord length of rudder cross section profile, in m (ft)
D = nominal boundary layer thickness at trailing edge
= 0.01C
βT = 0.77
T = thickness or diameter of rounded end, in m (ft)

ii) For a rudder trailing edge with a flat insert plate (see 3-2-11/Figure 7), the insert plate thickness,
t0, is to be no larger than 1.5Vd in mm, where Vd is the design speed in ahead condition, in knots,
as defined in 3-2-11/3.1. The extension beyond the weld to rudder plate, , is to satisfy the following
3-2-11/Figure 7 and with consideration of possible local vibratory bending of the insert plate.

 ≥ (t0 + 2t1)

Alternatively, a vibration analysis is to be carried out to confirm that the natural frequency of the rudder is
to be at least ±20% away from the vortex shedding frequency preferably determined using either a detailed
numerical analysis method such as CFD or testing for ballast and full draft at 85% and 100% Vd as defined
in 3-2-11/3.1.

(Renumber existing 3-2-11/Figures 5 through 8 as 3-2-11/Figures 8 through 11.)

(Revise Subparagraph 3-2-11/17.1.2, as follows:)


17.1.2 In Way of Cutouts
Allowable stresses for determining the rudder strength in way of cutouts (see 3-2-11/Figure 8) are
as follows:
Bending stress σb = Kσ/Q N/mm2 (kgf /mm2, psi)
Shear stress τ = Kτ/Q N/mm2 (kgf /mm2, psi)

Equivalent stress σe = σ b 2 + 3τ 2 = Ke/Q N/mm2 (kgf/mm2, psi)

11.3 General (1 July 2011)


(Add new Subparagraph 4-3-3/11.3.5, as follows:)
11.3.5 System Response Under Failure (1 July 2017)
The failures (as listed, but not limited to items in 4-3-3/11.9) likely to cause uncontrolled movements
of rudder are to be clearly identified. In the event of detection of such failure, the rudder should
stop in the current position. Alternatively, the rudder may be set to return to the midship/neutral
position. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis methodology may be used to identify the failures.

11.9 Instrumentation and Alarms


(Revise Subparagraph 4-3-3/11.9.7, as follows:)
11.9.7 Low Oil Level Alarm (1 July 2017)
A visual and audible alarm is to be given on the navigation bridge and engine room control station
to indicate a low oil level in any power unit reservoir. The operation of this alarm is not to interrupt
the power supply circuit.

11.9.12 Earth Fault (1 July 2017)
A visual and audible alarm is to be given on the navigation bridge to indicate an earth fault on AC
and DC circuits

(Add new Subparagraph 4-3-3/11.9.13, as follows:)


11.9.13 Deviation (1 July 2017)
Where arrangements discussed in 4-3-3/11.9.8, 4-3-3/11.9.9, 4-3-3/11.9.10 and 4-3-3/11.9.11 can
lead to reduced or erroneous system performance of the commanded change in rudder angle, a
deviation alarm visible and audible at the navigating bridge shall be initiated if the rudder’s actual
position does not reach the set point within acceptable time limits for the closed loop control systems
(e.g., follow-up control, computer based systems, and autopilot). Deviation alarm may be caused
by mechanical, hydraulic or electrical failures. See 4-3-3/11.9.8, 4-3-3/11.9.9, 4-3-3/11.9.10 and
4-3-3/11.9.11 for acceptable time limits or angle deviations, as applicable.

9.19.3 Design and Construction
(Revise Item 4-4-1/9.19.3(c), as follows:)
9.19.3(c) Fire Resistance (1 July 2017). Flexible hose assemblies constructed of non-metallic
materials intended for installation in piping systems for flammable media and sea water systems
where failure may result in flooding are to be of a fire-resistant type*, except in cases where such hoses
are installed on open decks having no fire risk, and not used for fuel oil lines. Fire resistance is to
be demonstrated by testing to ISO 15540 and ISO 15541.
* Note: The installation of a shutoff valve immediately upstream of a sea water hose does not satisfy the requirement
for fire resistant type hose.

CHAPTER 6 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
SECTION 2 SHIPBOARD SYSTEMS

7 Distribution System
(Revise Paragraph 4-6-2/7.9, as follows:)

7.9 Harmonics (1 July 2017)


The total harmonic distortion (THD) in the voltage waveform in the distribution systems is not to exceed
8% and any single order harmonics not to exceed 5%. Other higher values may be accepted provided the
distribution equipment and consumers are designed to operate at the higher limits. This relaxation on THD
limits is to be documented (harmonic distortion calculation report) and made available on board as a reference
for the Surveyor at each periodical survey. Where higher values of harmonic distortion are expected, any
other possible effects, such as additional heat losses in machines, network resonances, errors in control and
monitoring systems are to be considered. See also 4-6-2/9.18 and 4-6-2/9.19.

9 Circuit Protection System


(Add new Paragraph 4-6-2/9.18, as follows:)

9.18 Harmonic Distortion for Ship Electrical Distribution System including Harmonic Filters
(1 July 2017)
9.18.1 Monitoring
Where the electrical distribution system on board a ship includes harmonic filters, such ships are
to be fitted with facilities to continuously monitor the levels of harmonic distortion experienced on
the main bus bar as well as alert the crew should the level of harmonic distortion exceed the
acceptable limits. Where the engine room is provided with automation systems, this reading is to
be logged electronically, otherwise it is to be recorded in the engine log book for future inspection
by the Surveyor. However, harmonic filters installed for single application frequency drives such
as pump motors may be excluded from the requirements of this section.
9.18.2 Measurement
As a minimum, harmonic distortion levels of main bus bar on board such existing ships are to be
measured annually under seagoing conditions as close to the periodical machinery survey as possible
so as to give a clear representation of the condition of the entire plant to the Surveyor. Harmonic
distortion readings are to be carried out when the greatest amount of distortion is indicated by the
measuring equipment. An entry showing which equipment was running and/or filters in service is
to be recorded in the log so this can be replicated for the next periodical survey. Harmonic distortion
levels are also to be measured following any modification to the ship’s electrical distribution system
or associated consumers by suitably trained ship’s personnel or from a qualified outside source.
Records of all the above measurements are to be made available to the surveyor at each periodical
survey in accordance with the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7).
9.18.3 Validation of Calculated Harmonic
Where the electrical distribution system on board a ship includes harmonic filters, the system
integrator of the distribution system is to show, by calculation, the effect of a failure of a harmonic
filter on the level of harmonic distortion experienced.
The system integrator of the distribution system is to provide the ship owner with guidance
documenting permitted modes of operation of the electrical distribution system while maintaining
harmonic distortion levels within acceptable limits during normal operation as well as following
the failure of any combination of harmonic filters.

6 ABS RULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING STEEL VESSELS UNDER 90 METERS (295 FEET) IN LENGTH . 2017
Notice No. 1 – July 2017

The calculation results and validity of the guidance provided are to be verified by the Surveyor
during sea trials.
9.18.4 Filter Protection Alarm
Arrangements are to be provided to alert the crew in the event of activation of the protection of a
harmonic filter circuit.
A harmonic filter is to be arranged as a three-phase unit with individual protection of each phase.
The activation of the protection arrangement in a single phase is to result in automatic disconnection
of the complete filter. Additionally, there is to be installed a current unbalance detection system
independent of the overcurrent protection alerting the crew in case of current unbalance.
Consideration is to be given to additional protection for the individual capacitor element as (e.g.,
relief valve or overpressure disconnector) in order to protect against damage from rupturing. This
consideration is to take into account the type of capacitors used.

(Revise first paragraph of Paragraph 4-6-2/9.19, as follows:)

9.19 Protection of Harmonic Filter Circuits (1 July 2017)


Notwithstanding the requirements of 4-6-2/9.18 above, harmonic filters circuits shall be protected against
overload and short-circuit. An alarm is to be initiated in a continuously manned location in the event of an
activation of overload or short-circuit protection.

(Revise first paragraph of Subparagraph 4-6-4/13.1.1, as follows:)
13.1.1 General (1 July 2017)
Electric cables are to have conductors, insulation and moisture-resistant jackets, in accordance with
IEC Publication 60092-350, 60092-352, 60092-353, 60092-354, 60092-360, 60092-370, 60092-376,
or IEEE Std. 45. Other recognized marine standards of an equivalent or higher safety level, will
also be considered. The tests may be carried out by the manufacturer whose certificate of tests will
be acceptable and is to be submitted upon request from ABS. Network cables are to comply with a
recognized industry standard. Cables such as flexible cable, fiber-optic cable, etc., used for special
purposes may be accepted provided they are manufactured and tested in accordance with recognized
standards accepted by ABS. Conductors are to be of copper and stranded in all sizes. Conductors
are not to be less than the following in cross sectional size:
