Introduction
For the year 2000 edition of the Steel Vessel Rules, the Rules have been re-organized and re-
formatted for the purpose of improving their ease of use. In this regard, we advise the users of these
Rules of the following primary changes.
1. The year 2000 edition is a complete re-print of the Steel Vessel Rules in a new nine (9)
booklet format as shown in Table 1.

2. A new numbering system was incorporated into the Rules, in accordance with Table 2, which
introduces the “Chapter” as a new sub-division within each “Part”. A comparison of the old
“1999” numbering system versus the new “2000” numbering system is shown in Table 3 as a
guide map for users who are familiar with the existing Rules.

3. The primary changes from the 1999 edition of the Rules are identified and listed in Table 4.
In this regard, we would particularly emphasize the complete editorial revision (including
some technical criteria changes) of the machinery equipment and system requirements in
Part 4.

4. The 2000 edition of the Rules becomes effective on 1 January 2000. This more desirable
effective date was made possible by appropriately revising the schedule of meetings of the
ABS technical Committees in 1999, and with The Technical Committee meeting during the
month of June, rather than during the previously traditional month of November. It is
intended to continue this practice in order for all future editions of the Steel Vessel Rules to
continue to have an effective date of 1 January.

5. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of
the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and
month are shown, (2000) refers to 1 January 2000, (1999) refers to 12 May 1999, (1998)
refers to 13 May 1998, (1997) refers to 19 May 1997, (1996) refers to 9 May 1996, (1995)
refers to 15 May 1995, (1994) refers to 9 May 1994 and (1993) refers to 11 May 1993
effective dates.

6. In the subject Notices and General Information booklet following the Change Notice, as
shown in Table 4, there is included for the user’s ready reference, a listing of
CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS available to the Owners of self
propelled vessels.

tabulated form for the users' reference and guidance. All vessels, when classed to ABS Rules, are
assigned the designated classification symbol(s) accompanied by additional classification
notations, together which describe the character of the assigned classification.
Classification symbols consist of a single mark, single figure or a single letter that
À A1, Á,
represents the design features of a vessel. (e.g. À, Á etc.)
Classification notation consists of words, acronyms, letters and abbreviations that
describe a vessel's, specific design parameters and restrictions, cargo type, service or
applicable survey characteristics. (e.g. Oil Carrier, ACCU, Gulf of Mexico, SH, HM2,
CPP, etc.)
For the purpose of ABS classification of a vessel, typically, one or more symbols and notations that
will denote the vessel’s classification will be assigned. A typical arrangement of classification will
follow the structure below:

SYMBOL DESCRIPTION REFERENCE
À This Maltese Cross symbol will be assigned to vessels for which hull SVR 1-1-3/1
construction and/or manufacture of its machinery and components are
carried out under ABS survey. For a vessel, constructed under survey of
another recognized Classification Society or Authority, the symbol ? will
be omitted from the classification.

This symbol indicates compliance with the Hull requirements of the ABS SVR 1-1-3/3
A1 Rules or their equivalent, for unrestricted ocean service. The symbol A1
may be followed by appropriate vessel type notation such as Oil Carrier,
Bulk Carrier, Fuel Oil Carrier, Ore Carrier, Passenger Vessel, Vehicle
Carrier, Container Carrier, Towing Vessel, Refrigerated Cargo Carrier,
Liquefied Gas Carrier.

This notation is assigned to machinery and boilers constructed and installed SVR 1-1-3/13
AMS to ABS Rules requirements.

This symbol signifies that the anchoring/mooring equipment on the vessel SVR 1-1-3/11
Á are in compliance with the requirements of the Rules, or with requirements
corresponding to the service limitations noted in the vessel’s classification,
which has been approved for the particular service of the Rules. The Á is
placed after the symbol ?A1.

HHP This notation for High Holding Anchors is assigned for specially designed HSC 3/22.11.2
anchor for which proven holding power is not less than two times of an
ordinary stockless anchor.

This notation for Super High Holding Anchors is assigned for specially HSC 3/22.11.3
