New and Updated Offshore Guides

Guide for Building and Classing Subsea Pipeline Systems (2006)
This updated Guide applies to classification of design, construction and installation of offshore pipelines made of metallic materials, as well as the periodic surveys required for maintenance of classification. Serviceability of pipelines is also addressed, but only to the extent that proper functioning of the pipe and its components affects safety. This Guide may also be used for certification or verification of either design, construction or installation of pipelines.

Guide for Building and Classing Subsea Risers Systems (2006)
This updated Guide applies to classification of design, construction and installation of risers made of metallic materials, as well as the periodic surveys required for maintenance of classification. Serviceability of risers is also addressed, but only to the extent that proper functioning of the pipe and its components affects safety. This Guide may also be used for certification or verification of design, construction or installation of risers.

Guidance Notes on Strength Assesement of Membrane-Type LNG Containment Systems Under Sloshing Loads (2006)
As a supplement to the hull structural requirements of LNG carriers, these Guidance Notes provide procedures for determining sloshing loads on LNG cargo tanks and contain strength assessment procedures membrane-type containment systems. This publication is only available for download.

Guidance Notes on Sloshing and Structural Analysis of LNG Pump Tower (2006)
This publication provides guidance for applying direct calculation procedures for the structural; assessment of the pump tower structure. This approach takes advantage of the principles and the experiences gained from the application of the ABS Dynamic Load Approach (DLA), advances in numerical simulation of the sloshing, and experiences from the structural analysis and evaluation of tubular structures. This publication is only available for download.
