2、rive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword The operation of merchant vessels in low temperature environments presents many challenges for designers, builders, Owners, and Operators. These challenges include both hardware issues related directly to the construction, outfitting, and operation of ves

3、sels, as well as those issues pertaining to the ability of the crew to function in a difficult environment. To assist the marine industry, ABS issued the Guide for Vessels Operating in Low Temperature Environments in September 2006. This 2015 version of the Guide has been updated in accordance with

4、the latest industry standards, as well as ABS plan review and survey practice. Overall, the update consists of a general relocating of some items to make the document easier to follow. The particular changes to the Guide are as follows: Section 1, General: Added definitions and Plans and Particulars

5、 to be submitted. Section 2, Materials, Welding and Coatings: Added guidance for dis-similar materials and repair welding in low temperatures. Removal of possible confusion with material grade selection. With the ABS Steel Vessel Rules adopting IACS UR I6, the structural material requirements are no

6、w contained in Part 3 of the Steel Vessel Rules. Section 3, Hull Construction and Equipment: Requirements adjusted to align with industry practice, placing emphasis on a plan and application of technical solutions consistent with that plan. Section 4, Vessel Systems and Machinery: Revised to be more

7、 consistent with recent industry best practice and generally restructured Section for easier referencing. Added Subsection on electronic equipment to help address new high-tech vessels. Section 5, Safety Systems: Lifesaving appliance requirements updated to reflect recent developments in technology

8、and knowledge. Appendix 1 to 9: Updated accordingly with corresponding Sections of the Guide, as well as additional information included to assist with low temperature operations. Appendix 10, Climatic Conditions: All new temperature data provided, including isothermal plots that may be used to help

9、 estimate the Polar Service Temperature in accordance with the IMO Polar Code. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication. We welcome your feedback.
