ABS RULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING STEEL VESSELS . 2006 iii
Introduction
1. The year 2006 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels is a complete
reprint of the 2005 edition, consisting of the nine (9) booklets as shown in Table 1. In this
regard, we would bring the following to the user’s attention:
a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding of PART 2 is
to emphasize the common applicability of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels,
other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2
more readily a common “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate.
b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Survey After Construction – Part 7 is
to reflect the expanded contents of PART 7, as a result of including consolidated
requirements for “Surveys After Construction” applicable to all types and sizes of
vessels, barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., as specified in
Part 7, Chapter 1, Section 1.
2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2.
3. The primary changes from the 2005 edition of the Rules are identified and listed in Table 3.
The effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2006, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.
4. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of
the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and
month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates:
(2000) and after 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1996) 9 May 1996
(1999) 12 May 1999 (1995) 15 May 1995
(1998) 13 May 1998 (1994) 9 May 1994
(1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993
5. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels is published, Rule
Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website –
www. eagle.org – only, and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to
publish hard copies of future Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or
Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels, which
includes Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition
will be published on the ABS website only when RCN and/or Corrigenda are issued.
6. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS
website www.eagle.org/rules/downloads.html for download.
