Approval of vessel design and technical documentation
The Ukrainian Shipping Register carries out a review and approval (agreement) of design and technical documentation.
The review is carried out according to the request to the Register.
Along with the application, the Register is submitted the plan approval documentation of the vessel under construction, which enables us to make sure that all the requirements of the Register Rules for this vessel are met. The documentation to be submitted for consideration shall be completed in accordance with chapter 4.2 of Part I “Classification” of the Rules for classification and construction of ships.
Prior to the beginning of conversion or reconstruction of a ship being classified or has been classified by the Register, the technical documentation for those parts of the hull, machinery, devices and equipment to be converted or refurbished shall be submitted for review and approval, and if the conversion or renewal affects the general technical characteristics of the ship (strength, stability, freeboard, maneuverability, etc.), also appropriate calculations or justifications and corrected general materials and documents.
The Register’s approval of the design documentation is not applicable to the ship’s elements, structures and equipment envisaged in it, but which are not subject to technical inspection by the Register and are not regulated by the requirements of the Rules; the approval of documents does not confirm their compliance with the requirements of the regulatory documents applied in their development, other than the requirements of the Rules of the Register’s documents and regulatory documents agreed with the Register, in the part stipulated by them. The Register does not verify the correctness of calculated operations in conventional techniques, as well as implementation of programs approved by the Register in PC calculations, but only controls final settlement results.
Application and implementation of the Rules and additional requirements are the responsibility of companies, shipowners, shipyards, as well as enterprises that manufacture materials and products subject to the requirements of the Rules, taking into account that the interpretation of the requirements of the Rules and other regulatory documents of the Register is an exclusive competence of the Register.
The technical documentation shall be submitted to the Register in a complete set and in at least 3 copies (with the permission of the Register, it is possible to submit the first copy at the beginning and the rest after the approval of the project as a whole) with a cover letter comprising a complete list of the documentation to be submitted for consideration, which shall include: project number, type, purpose and main characteristics of the ship, as well as other information regarding the ship, or her conversion-equipment.
