Three commonly used OSV definitions

Offshore Service Vessel → covers entire mobile offshore fleet

Offshore Support Vessel → sub-set of Offshore Service Vessels

Offshore Supply Vessel → sub-set of Offshore Support Vessels

Three basic categories of Offshore Service Vessels (breakdown of

mobile offshore fleet into segments)

Development (exploration & field development)

Production

Support

Mainly related to oil & gas, but also applicable to other offshore activities

including offshore wind energy and subsea mining

Depending on type of segment and unit, classification of Offshore

Service Vessels may involve Ship Rules, Offshore Rules, or both

OSV: what do you mean?

World mobile offshore fleet evolution


Investment focus on large and sophisticated OSVs with deep water

capabilities in line with offshore oil & gas E&P CAPEX trend → Strong fleet growth for MODU, accommodation vessel, MPSV/DSV/IMR and

large PSV segments (orderbook/fleet ratio over 10%)

OSV chartering focus on risk management and fuel consumption → Demand for young and energy efficient vessels with high DP capability and

redundancy

Finding the right balance between commonality (multi-role/purpose

vessels) and specificity (e.g. subsea capabilities, area specific

requirements) → Operational flexibility/efficiency vs. capability

Developments in OSV design & operation


New OSV designs for reduced fuel consumption and air emissions

Diesel-electric & hybrid propulsion systems

Application of variable frequency drives

LNG as fuel

DC grid for electrical power distribution

Icebreaking OSV for operations in ice and cold climate

Shallow draught IMSVs for North Caspian Sea (low salinity first year ice)

Fully winterised OSVs for ice breaking/management operations in arctic waters

A broad variety of international Conventions, Codes and Guidelines

OSV regulatory relationship status: It’s Complicated

Regulatory issues:

Difference in status and degree of flag state ratification between conventions

and various OSV related guidelines

Gaps in coverage of safety critical operations in international regulations

Lack of compatibility between requirements of different international regulations

(e.g. subdivision/damage stability, fire safety & life saving appliances)

Industry develops (much) faster than regulations…


How to ensure uniform application of consistent safety and

environmental protection standards for OSVs?

Clarification of status and ratification of conventions and guidelines

→ Need for “level playing field”

Multi-purpose offshore support vessels (MPSV)

How to close existing regulatory gaps?

Anchor handling and towing (e.g. stability & deck equipment)

Offshore (heavy) lifting (e.g. stability, crane certification & deck equipment)

Carriage and transfer of industrial personnel on OSVs

How to position OSVs relative to other ship types?

Carriage of hazardous noxious liquid substances in bulk

→ OSV vs. chemical tanker

Carriage of (industrial) personnel

→ OSV vs. passenger ship

OSV regulatory development questions


IMO Correspondence Group on Intact Stability follows up on outcome of

SLF 55 (agenda item 10: towing, anchor handling and lifting)

Amendments to Intact Stability (IS) Code with respect to stability

information for vessels engaged in anchor handling and towing

BV proposal for towing and escort stability criteria developed within scope of

SafeTug JIP (BV guidelines to be released in June 2014)

Revised BV rules for anchor handling vessels (entry into force 1 Jan 2014)

based on IMO and industry technical developments (decision support systems)

Stability criteria for offshore lifting

operations

BV technical experts are actively

participating in the CG, bringing in know-

how and experience from working with

owners, designers and shipyards on

AHT(S) vessels

Amendments to the Intact Stability Code


Correspondence Group (CG) on the Development of the Draft Code for

the Transport and Handling of Limited Amounts of Hazardous and

Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk in Offshore Support Vessels (OSV

Chemical Code) working under IMO’s PPR Sub-Committee

Key focus points

Ship survival capability and location of cargo tanks (damage stability)

Ship design

Cargo transfer

Fire-fighting requirements

Link with IBC Code

BV cargo systems and stability

experts involved in the CGs as

well as PPR and SDC

Sub-Committees

OSV Chemical Code


Working Group on carriage of more than 12 industrial personnel on

board vessels engaged on international voyages under IMO’s SDC

Sub-Committee

Development of definition of industrial personnel due to lack of reference in

existing IMO instruments (SOLAS, MODU Code, OSV Code, SPS Code)

→ All persons other than passengers and crew who are transported or

accommodated [on an OSV] for the purpose of offshore industrial activities

(key words: able bodied, safety training, knowledge of ship layout and safety

equipment, personal safety equipment)

Next step: development of regulatory framework

→ Reference to IMO draft guidelines for wind

Safety guidelines for tugs

Definition of class notations (service notations and additional service

features) based on realistic operational profiles and duties of tugs

Basic philosophy is that the combined system of tug and assisted vessel

should be assessed in a holistic manner

Technical requirements are a function of the selected class notation(s)

Definition of design loads for towing, escorting and pushing

Towing and escort stability

Towing and escort equipment (strength and safety)

Safety equipment (fire safety, life saving

appliances, radio installation and navigation

equipment for non-Convention tugs; anchor

equipment for all tugs)

Guidance for interaction between tug and

assisted ship (communication, towing

fittings, pushing areas and making fast)


Diving support vessels & diving systems

Rules cover all types of diving support vessels and diving systems by

assignment of a combination of a service notation (integrated, capable or

portable) and additional service feature (deep diving, shallow diving)

Consistent with IMO Code of Safety for Diving Systems for interface

between ship and diving equipment

Includes recommendations from IMCA Diving Code of Practice

Target publication date June 2014

Diving support vessels – NR 609



Diving support vessel main functions

Provide protected areas for diving equipment:

hyperbaric chamber(s), diving control room,

breathing gas storage, hyperbaric evacuation

system, etc.

Provide fire protection, detection and extinction

systems

Provide station keeping capabilities

Provide electrical energy supply

Provide communication means between ship

control and diving control stations

Provide ventilation of enclosed spaces containing

diving equipment

Launch & Recovery System (LARS) of diving bell

Moonpool for diving bell (when relevant)

Structural foundations for the equipment


Classification of diving support vessel and diving system are

independent (diving system may be portable and not dedicated to a ship)

Classification of the diving system (e.g. in accordance with NR 610) or,

alternatively, a recognised diving system certificate is mandatory

IMO Diving Systems Safety Certificate may be a requirement of national

authorities (BV has been delegated by several flag states)



Rules cover deep diving and shallow diving systems intended for manned
