Course Summary:
With government budgets becoming more challenging, navies worldwide are relying more and more on commercial practices and standards for the core of their warship designs. This has precipitated in moving away from traditional naval design approaches, and towards a baseline centered in common international requirements. Factors such as acquisition reform initiatives of the 1990’s, and a decreased emphasis on national military design documents, have navies worldwide relying on a more global approach to design and acquisition through instruments and organizations such as ASTM F25 Committee, ISO TC8, NATO’s standard ANEP 77, and Classification Society Rules and Guides such as the ABS Rules for Building and Classing High Speed Naval Craft (HSNC) and International Naval Ship Guide (draft). This course will provide a broad overview to these two ABS rule sets and the NATO standard.
Course Details:
Classes 1 & 2: ABS Rules for Building and Classing High Speed Naval Craft (HSNC)
The HSNC was developed as a collaborative partnership between US Navy and ABS for keeping design and construction rules for naval craft current. HSNC recognizes military use and specific design features while maintaining basis in commercial design standards. It has a broad scope, applying to craft as low as 10m RHIBS, up to 100m Catamarans and 130m Monohulls.
Class 3: ABS International Naval Ship Guide (INSG)
ABS International Naval Ship Guide (INSG) is applicable to large ships owned and operated by Navies and Governments with missions related to safety, security, or defense. It is available worldwide to designers, builders and owners. The class will include an overview of this rule set, including optional notations such as shock, ballistics protection and UNREP (underway replenishment).
Class 4: The NATO Naval Ship Code (NSC) - ANEP 77
The Naval Ship Code (NSC) is a cost-effective goal-based standard that determines a minimum level of safety for naval ships. Accepted by many representatives of the global naval community and intergovernmental bodies, it is the formal document published by NATO as ANEP 77. The class will include an overview of this standard, with an emphasis of its application philosophy for naval vessels.
