Lloyd’s Register Marine - Classification & Marine Technology Tim Kent Technical Director, Marine August 2013

Lloyd’s Register’s Mission Through its constitution, Lloyd’s Register is directed to: “Secure, for the benefit of the community, high technical standards of design, manufacture, construction, maintenance, operation, and performance, for the purpose of enhancing the safety of life and property at sea, on land, and in the air, and” “Advance public education within engineering and technological disciplines”

What is Classification? The development, publication and implementation of Rules and Regulations covering the design, construction and operation of ships, which help achieve and maintain acceptable levels of safety, performance and reliability

What do the Class Rules & Regulations cover? Structural strength and watertight integrity of the hull

What do the Class Rules & Regulations cover? Safety and reliability of propulsion and steering systems

What do the Classification Rules & Regs cover? Effectiveness of essential auxiliary systems

The Origins of Classification from 1760 Commercial need to reduce losses of ships and cargoes Grading systems: 1764 A, E, I, O, U (hull) G, M, B (equipment) AG - the best, UB - the worst 1768 A, B, C (hull) 1, 2, 3 (equipment) A1 - the best, now has world famous meaning! iron ships suitable for sea-going service 2011| 100A1 Double Hull Oil Tanker, ShipRight (FDA, SDA, CM), *IWS, LI | LMC, UMS

What do the Class Rules & Regulations not cover? Stability Life saving appliances Pollution prevention Structural fire protection Why not? The requirements for all of the above are contained in internationally accepted statutory codes and conventions

Relationship between class and statutory regulation Implementation of standards for: Strength Propelling machinery Electrical systems Control systems Anchoring equipment Strength Fire & lifesaving Communications Damage stability Propelling machinery, electrical and control systems Strength Freeboard Intact stability Damage stability Accidental Operational IMO Conventions Safety (SOLAS) Stability (Loadline) Pollution (MARPOL) Damage stability Statutory certification Classification

How Do Ships Enter Class?

Plans & Alterations Approved

Materials Made at Approved Works

Hull Constructed Under Lloyd’s Register’s Special Survey

Machinery Constructed Under Lloyd’s Register’s Special Survey

Survey of Electrical and Control Equipment

Conditions for Classification Satisfactory completion of periodical surveys Reporting all damages and defects Valid convention certificates Correct loading and operation Availability of approved loading guidance Operation in suitable environment

Conditions for Classification – Survey Cycle Year12345 AS ITSS or ITMS DS IWSDS SS

Marine Technology – Lloyd’s Register’s Approach

Intelligence on Business Drivers

Technology as an enabler on a 10+ Year Horizon Increasing regulation from IMO and others  New technologies & complexity Increasingly competitive market  Efficiency will drive adoption of automation, complexity and novel design  Industry will be obliged to satisfy Regulations and may want to pursue efficiency Lloyd’s Register’s application of technology …... as a Classification Society, verifying safe integration of elements into the overall ship... as a Recognised Organisation, certifying functional performance of ship’s systems and features in accordance with international conventions … as a Technical Services provider, assisting clients improve their competitiveness and business performance
