4 Operations 4.1 Objective


The objective of this Chapter is to help the reader identify and produce the information required regarding a specific vessel, how and where it is to be operated, that will be required to support and inform other Chapters of this code.


4.2 Scope


4.2.1 The purpose of this Chapter is to help the reader outline the information required regarding the vessel that will be required to support and inform other Chapters of this Code. This will be required to support and inform the design, manufacture, in-service support and disposal elements of a suitable design code and to inform risk assessments as part of the design procedure. It is NOT intended to describe in detail the operation of all types of MASS, unmanned vessels or other unmanned craft and the appropriate procedures to be used.


4.3 Operation type


4.3.1 The operation type should define the purpose of the vessel, craft and its main operational phases. For example, a cargo vessel voyage might comprise loading, departure, voyage, arrival and unloading. These phases might each be subject to different levels of control and speed / manoeuvring envelopes.


4.3.2 Alternatively, a long-term monitoring or survey voyage might comprise departure, transit, operation on station, return transit, arrival. These phases may also have varying levels of control, speed, limitations on manoeuvring. For example – a vessel may transit at high speed to a survey area, during which one method of control may be appropriate, but when on station may operate at a much lower speed, which may materially change the risk of operation and allow a different level of control during this phase.


4.3.3 Unmanned vessels may be designed to operate in particular areas of operation – as defined in the Areas of Operation in Chapter 2 of this code, which will also imply Design Category allocations as at Chapter 2.


4.4 Ship type 4.4.1 MASS will have a number of different categories, including (but not limited to) the following:


n Purpose (e.g. Naval, Survey, Cargo, Workboat, Tug); n Cargo Type (if applicable); n Propulsion method.
