IA289E - OSV Chemical Code

Edizione 2018

The Code for the Transport and Handling of Hazardous and Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk on
Offshore Support Vessels (OSV Chemical Code), has been developed for the design, construction and
operation of offshore support vessels (OSVs) which transport hazardous and noxious liquid substances
in bulk for the servicing and resupplying of offshore platforms, mobile offshore drilling units and other
offshore installations, including those employed in the search for and recovery of hydrocarbons from the
seabed.
The basic philosophy of the present Code is to apply standards contained in the Code and the International
Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code) and
in the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk
(IGC Code) to the extent that is practicable and reasonable taking into account the unique design features
and service characteristics of OSVs.
