INTRODUCTION

1 Purpose

1 The chapeau of paragraph 1.2 is replaced with the following:

"1.2 Unless otherwise stated, this Code contains intact stability criteria applicable
to ships and other marine vehicles of 24 m in length and above, as listed below. The
Code also provides intact stability criteria applicable to the same ships and marine
vehicles when engaged in certain operations:"

2 In paragraph 1.2, the following new subparagraphs .7 to .9 are inserted after the existing
subparagraph .6:

".7 ships engaged in anchor handling operations;

.8 ships engaged in harbour, coastal or ocean-going towing operations and


escort operations;

.9 ships engaged in lifting operations;"

and the remaining subparagraphs are renumbered accordingly.

2 Definitions

3 The following new paragraphs 2.27 to 2.31 are inserted after the existing paragraph 2.26:

"2.27 Ship engaged in anchor handling operations means a ship engaged in


operations with deployment, recovering and repositioning of anchors and the associated
mooring lines of rigs or other vessels. Forces associated with anchor handling are
generally associated with the winch line pull and may include vertical, transverse, and
longitudinal forces applied at the towing point and over the stern roller.

2.28 Ship engaged in harbour towing means a ship engaged in an operation


intended for assisting ships or other floating structures within sheltered waters,
normally while entering or leaving port and during berthing or unberthing operations.

2.29 Ship engaged in coastal or ocean-going towing means a ship engaged in an


operation intended for assisting ships or other floating structures outside sheltered waters
in which the forces associated with towing are often a function of the ship's bollard pull.*

2.30 Ship engaged in lifting operation means a ship engaged in an operation


involving the raising or lowering of objects using vertical force by means of winches,
cranes, a-frames or other lifting devices.**

exerted by the propulsion units (see also figure 1).
