1 Service area notation

1.1 General
1.1.1 The service area notation R followed by a number or a letter will be assigned to vessels with modified
requirements to arrangement, equipment or scantlings, in relation to vessels built for unrestricted trade.
The service area restrictions, given in nautical miles and representing the maximum distance from nearest
port or safe anchorage, are given in Table 1 of this section. For the various service area notations the
restrictions are related to the zones, areas and seasonal periods as defined in the International Convention
on Load Lines, 1966, Annex II.
The service area notation RE is limited to enclosed waters such as fjords, ports, rivers and lakes.
The service area restrictions as related to the assigned service area notation will be included in the “Appendix
to the Class Certificate”.

1.1.2 Modified requirements related to the various service area notations are given in the relevant sections
of the rules. The modifications will affect:
— design hull girder loads
— design pressures on shell, weather decks, superstructures and deckhouses
— anchoring and mooring equipment

1.1.3 The flag administration, the domestic requirements of which are being applied under the provision of
Ch.1 Sec.2 [1.3.5] (local trade), shall be indicated in parentheses after the service area notation, by using
lower-case country codes in accordance with ISO 3166, (e.g. R2 (nor), should the flag administration be
Norway or R2 (usa) should the flag administration be U.S.A. etc.).
1.1.4 Other service restrictions or operational limits included in the design assumptions for a vessel will be
stated in the “Appendix to the Class Certificate”, and/or on special signboards.

— rating of all transformers (kVA) in the distribution system
— ratings of any major consumers (kVA/kW).

E020 – Principal cable routing sketch

A sketch showing the principal cable routing, including principal routing to redundant consumers and routing
of emergency power distribution in relation to normal power distribution together with information on fire
divisions and high fire risk areas. The information shall be presented as a principal sketch, not as detailed
drawings for all cable routings.

E030 – Cable selection philosophy

A document stating criteria for selection and dimensioning of cables with respect to types and sizing for
different voltage levels and cable lengths.

E040 – Electrical load balance

A document stating the calculated design values for power consumption and available power for operational
modes as:

— manoeuvring
— special operations, e.g. dynamic positioning, thruster assisted position mooring, crane operations, cargo
handling and drilling
— emergency.
Tripping of non-important consumers shall be identified in the calculation.
For direct current (DC) battery systems and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems: The calculation of
available battery capacity shall include discharge characteristics for the batteries.

E050 – Single line diagrams / consumer lists for switchboards

A document covering all switchboards and their consumers, providing information on switchboard
connections, consumer ratings, cable dimensions and settings of protective devices.

E080 – Discrimination analysis

A document describing the discrimination between electrical protective devices in the distribution system.
The document shall include a list of all settings/parameter values for short circuit, overcurrent and earth fault
protection. The analysis shall state maximum and minimum short circuit currents as well as the generator's
decrement curve. If documented by graphical diagrams, these values shall be shown on the diagrams.
The document shall cover:
— generator protection
— main switchboard circuits
— emergency switchboard circuits
— battery and UPS systems
— downstream discrimination between different voltage levels under all operating conditions.

E090 – Table of Ex-installation

Table with information for all equipment installed in hazardous areas, where relevant based on approved
Hazardous area classification drawing (G080) and ESD philosophy.

Certification body, certificate Identification of certifying body, the Ex certificate number and type of Ex protection
number and type of protection

Special conditions If the certificate number ends with “X” or “U”, compliance with the special conditions
given in the certificate shall be stated

Is-circuit limits and values For intrinsic safe circuits the maximum parameters and values contained in the circuit
with respect to voltage versus capacitance (Ceq) and current versus inductance (Leq)
shall be listed for each circuit. The maximum values for the applied safety barrier shall
be included
