1、 Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships GUIDE FOR CREW HABITABILITY ON SHIPS FEBRUARY 2016 American Bureau of Shipping Incorporated by Act of Legislature of the State of New York 1862 Copyright 2016 American Bureau of Shipping ABS Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword (1

2、 February 2016) This Guide, originally published in December 2001, has undergone significant revision. Key revision areas include changes to the Whole-body Vibration (WBV) and Noise measurement and evaluation methodology and criteria, changes to the ambient Lighting methodology and criteria, and cha

3、nges to the Accommodation Area criteria. These revisions are due to several factors, including: 1. Input from industry (i.e., Owners, designers, and construction yards) 2 Revisions to standards referenced in this Guide 3. Revised statutory regulations 4. Changes in current vessel design practices an

4、d principles ABS has produced this Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships in order to provide a single source for habitability criteria suitable for ships. This Guide may be applied to vessels falling under the categories of oil or chemical tankers, bulk or combination carriers, container carriers, mu

5、lti-purpose cargo vessels, or crew areas on passenger vessels. This Guide does not apply to vessels such as offshore support vessels, tug boats, tow boats, dredgers, research vessels, drill ships, anchor handling vessels or any other vessel providing service to offshore oil and gas exploration and p

6、roduction. These types of vessels are addressed in other ABS Habitability Guides*. This Guide provides the assessment criteria and describes the measurement methodology for obtaining a ship Habitability notation. It is intended for use by vessel Owners or companies requesting the optional notations

7、of ship Habitability (HAB), ship Habitability Plus (HAB+), or ship Habitability Plus Plus (HAB+). For the HAB level, this Guide focuses on five (5) categories of habitability criteria that can affect task performance and can be controlled, measured, and assessed in crew work, rest, and recreation ar

8、eas of ships. These categories are: accommodation area, whole-body vibration (separate criteria for accommodation areas and work spaces), noise, indoor climate, and lighting. For the HAB+ level, this Guide invokes more stringent accommodation area, whole-body vibration and noise criteria aimed at in

9、creasing crew comfort and safety. For the HAB+ level, there are more stringent accommodation area, whole-body vibration, noise, and indoor climate criteria. To be awarded any of these notations, a vessel must meet the appropriate prescriptive criteria across the various habitability categories. In a

10、ddition to the HAB notation assignment, at the Owners request, ABS may review the accommodation area design for compliance with ILO MLC, 2006 Title 3 requirements, as related to the MLC-ACCOM notation. * Note: The other ABS Habitability Guides include: ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Workboats, A

35、PS .2016 Section 1: General SECTION 1 General 1 Introduction ABS recognizes the positive impact that suitable habitability criteria and design practices may have on the safety, productivity, morale, and overall well-being of seafarers. The ABS Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships has been developed

36、with the objective of improving the quality of crew member performance and comfort by improving working and living environments in terms of accommodation area design and ambient environmental qualities. These habitability criteria have been chosen to provide a means to help reduce crew fatigue, impr

37、ove performance and safety, and to assist with crew recruiting and retention. 2 Application (1 February 2016) This Guide is applicable to new and existing vessels for which an optional ship Habitability (HAB), ship Habitability Plus (HAB+), or ship Habitability Plus Plus (HAB+) notation has been req

38、uested. The habitability criteria are a measure of the acceptability of crew accommodation areas and work spaces for living and working. In addition to the HAB notation assignment, at the Owners request, ABS may review the accommodation area design for compliance with ILO MLC, 2006 Title 3 requireme

39、nts, as related to the MLC-ACCOM notation. ABS has produced this Guide for Crew Habitability on Ships in order to provide a single source for habitability criteria suitable for ships. This Guide may be applied to vessels falling under the categories of oil or chemical tankers, bulk or combination ca

40、rriers, container carriers, multi-purpose cargo vessels, or passenger vessels (crew areas). This Guide does not apply to vessels such as offshore support vessels, tug boats, tow boats, dredgers, research vessels, drill ships, anchor handling vessels or any other vessel providing service to offshore

41、oil and gas exploration and production. These types of vessels are covered and discussed in other ABS Habitability Guides. 3 Scope This Guide focuses on five (5) habitability aspects of ship design and layout that can be controlled, measured, and assessed. These five (5) aspects are broken into two

42、(2) categories in this Guide, accommodation areas and the ambient environment. Accommodation area criteria pertain to dimensional and outfitting aspects of spaces and open deck areas where crew members eat, sleep, recreate, and perform routine daily activities. The ambient environmental aspects of h

43、abitability pertain to the environment that the crew is exposed to during periods of work, leisure, and rest. Specifically, this Guide provides criteria, limits, and measurement methodologies for the following: i) Whole-body Vibration (separate criteria for accommodation areas and work spaces) ii) N

44、oise iii) Indoor Climate iv) Lighting The criteria provided in this Guide are based on currently available research data and standards for the purpose of improving crew performance and providing a base level of habitability and elements of safety related to habitability. While producing this Guide,

45、ABS has taken a practical approach to measurements, test personnel (Testing Specialists), and test equipment. ABSGUIDE FOR CREW HABITABILITY ON SHIPS .2016 1 Section 1 General 4 Terminology (1 February 2016) ABS Recognized Ambient Environmental Testing Specialists: Companies providing test or measur

46、ement services on behalf of the Owner of a vessel or shipyard for the purposes of meeting any of the ABS Habitability (HAB, HAB+, HAB+) notation requirements. Approval of the Testing Specialist for ships may also allow for testing and measurement services for other ABS Habitability, Comfort, and MLC

47、 notations. Accommodation Areas/Accommodation Block: Vessel areas where the primary purpose is to rest and recreate. Accommodation spaces include cabins, medical facilities (sick bays), offices, recreation rooms, and manned spaces within the accommodation block such as the bridge or control room. Fo

48、r the purposes of this Guide, accommodation areas also include service spaces such as mess rooms, laundry, and storerooms. Ambient Environment: Ambient environment refers to the environmental conditions that the crew is exposed to during periods of work, leisure or rest. Specifically, this Guide pro

49、vides criteria and limits for whole-body vibration, noise, indoor climate, and lighting. Associated Documentation: Documents referenced in this Guide that are needed to provide measuring techniques and further guidance. Cargo Vessel: A cargo vessel is any vessel other than a passenger vessel that is involved in commercial trade. Crew Member: Any person onboard a vessel, including the Master, who is not a passenger. This term is used interchangeably throughout this document with “seafarer”. Crew Spaces: All areas on a vessel intended for seafarers only, such as seafarer accommodation
