CHAPTER 4
On 1st April 2006, the applicable portions of these rules are to be replaced with the following
Common Structural Rules (CSR) developed and agreed upon by the International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS):
For double hull oil tankers of 150m length and upward (See 5-1-1/1.1.1.1 of
CSR)
For single side skin and double side skin bulk carriers having length L of 90
m or above, which are constructed generally with single deck, double bottom,
hopper side tanks and topside tanks and with single or double side skin
construction in cargo length area and intended primarily to carry dry cargoes
in bulk, excluding ore and combination carriers.
Hybrid bulk carriers, where at least one cargo hold is constructed with
hopper tank and topside tank, are covered by the present Rules. The
structural strength of members in holds constructed without hopper tank
and/or topside tank is to comply with the strength criteria defined in the
Rules. (See Chapter 1, Section 1, 1.1.2 of the CSR.)
For vessels 150 m or more in length whose designs are not within the application of the Common
Structural Rules referred to in 1-1-3/21 and above, the applicable requirements of Part 5, Chapter 1
Part 5, Chapter 3, or Part 5, Chapter 4 are to comply with. See 1-1-3/23.
The effects of the changes were approved by The ABS Rules Committee at their meeting of 1st
December 2005 and 30 January 2006 respectively.
However, the sections in association with the onboard systems will remain unchanged. These relevant
sections that will be renumbered in order to fit the CSR organization are as follows:
