A Touch of ‘Class’ As SPS is an enhancement to SOLAS, Class (in general) were slow to act. SOLAS rules are adopted and governed by the ‘ Flag States’. Flag States can nominate ‘Class’ to survey and issue SOLAS based certificates on their behalf.

A Touch of Class….ABS ABS as yet do not have a Class notation for SPS. ABS have run various workshops in ME and SEA to educate their clients on SPS. In general ABS adopt implimamentaion as laid down by flag States. On a case by case basis ABS will assist Owners lobbying Flag States on a common sense basis.

It was noted from the discussion at MSC 85 that a high-priority item on Classification of offshore industry vessels and consideration of the need for a code for “ offshore construction support vessels” should be added to the work programme, with two sessions needed to complete the item. In doing so, the Committee instructed the DE Sub-Committee to consider all other relevant codes with a view to avoid duplication….. … ..Document MSC 85/23/4 suggested that there was a need for clarification of issues arising from the classification of offshore vessels and for determining whether a safety code for offshore construction support vessels needed to be developed. However, as indicated in the presentation of document MSC 85/23/4, in the offshore construction industry there is a wide range of vessels designed for a disparate collection of operational requirements. Further, vessels in the offshore construction industry are being developed to work in deeper waters and more difficult environments, sometimes requiring a need to use new technology. It would be difficult to accommodate all of these operational requirements into an all encompassing new code. Taking into account a variety of issues, technical and practical, the industry is therefore of the view that clarification of the existing IMO instruments would appear to be far more beneficial than the development of a specific new code, and this view appeared to be reflected in the interventions from Member States during the debate at MSC 85. … ..The current situation can present industry and flag and coastal States with some dilemma when trying to categorize some vessels into a specific classification.
