RS GUIDELINES ON EVALUATION OF MANOEUVRING CHARACTERISTICS OF INLAND NAVIGATION SHIPS

The present official Guidelines have been released by Russian Register based on the Administrative instructions Nos. 1 & 2 containing applicable requirements to such the important aspects as capacity for taking evasive action, turning capacity, and also concerning the prescribed forward speed/stopping capacity/astern capacity.

They were approved in accordance with the established approval procedures and are therefore in force since January 1, 2011. The Guidelines are intended to specify the applicable requirements for manoeuvring characteristics of inland navigation ships and convoys in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Rules. Fulfillment of the present Guidelines requirements would mean that the vessel's manoeuvring characteristics may be considered compliant with the EC requirements. This book starts with some general info and application terms, followed by the scope of technical supervision and definitions used in the document.

Then there are requirements related to the capacity for taking evasive action and to the turning capacity, and requirements dealing with the speed, stopping and astern capacity; the matters concerning measuring, re cording/ registration of the data collected in the course of the tests, are also addresses along with the test evaluation results.

RS GUIDELINES ON CERTIFICATION OF THE SMS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ISM CODE AND OF THE SHIPS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ISPS CODE

The present Russian Register Guidelines on the SMS Certification in Compliance with the relevant requirements outlined in the ISM Code and of the Ships in Compliance with the ISPS Code were developed and published with the final intention of this Class Society to determine the minimum applicable requirements, that must be met by the Russian Register auditors who perform the certification of the SMS of Company and Ship, along with the security system of the vessels in question.

The Flag Authorities possess the formal right to establish any additional requirements relating to the processes stated above; the implementation of these additional requirements must also be confirmed in the course of the relevant audits. These Guidelines shall primarily be used during the activities of ISM and MMS (marine management system) Auditors when performing of the Company/ship verification for their compliance with applicable requirements contained in the ISM Code as well as MMS Auditors verifying the ship's compliance with ISPS Code; the document shall also to be utilized by people designated to be responsible to duly store, maintain and periodically revise the appropriate documents, and will be helpful for an person intending to improve the knowledge of such type of certification. This RS publication may be used for supplementary info on the SMS Mark.

RS GUIDELINES ON APPLICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF SHIPS BALLAST WATER&SEDIMENTS

We are introducing the e-version of the printed Guidelines issued by RMRS (Russian Register of Shipping) and providing the applicable requirements of the BWM Convention, 2004, by IMO, intended for class inspectors, ship owners and crew members.

Provisions of this regulatory document shall apply in the course of the surveys of the vessels and the equipment on board the vessels for their compliance with all requirements of the above mentioned Convention as well as IMO resolutions considering IMO and IACS UIs. In total, there are four parts in the book, dealing with the technical Supervision, approval of BWM systems making use of the active substances, addressing the matters concerning the approval and oversight of prototype BWT Technology Programmes; Design, Equipment and Devices of Ships for BW and Sediments Management.

The present Guidelines were approved as compliant with the valid regulations and are in force. They have been developed based on the BWM Convention as well as applicable IMO procedures, taking into consideration all resolutions, amendments, unified interpretations and circulars of IACS and IMO. This document is primarily intended for class inspectors; however, it can also be used by ship crew members, ship owners, ship operators, trainers, port state control officers and any other parties involved, due to the information contained therein.

DRILLING ENGINEERING

One of the best publication on drilling engineering available today. According to the reviews by professional drillers, the content of the volume shall be recommended in the first turn to the roughnecks willing to learn more about the job they do to succeed in the offshore industry. Though focusing mainly on drilling engineering, the book will also be appreciated by all petroleum engineers.

It is also a perfect source of information and general technical knowledge for the people requiring some oil field familiarization. Written by the leading industry experts in collaboration with the drilling research advisors, the book is explaining the basics as well as the established oil field practices. A real treasure for the drilling engineers and supervisors.

Among the topics covered there are such important topics as selection and evaluation of the drilling rigs and applicable requirements, functions and types of the drilling fluids, applicable selection criteria, evaluation of the fluid and rheology, hydraulics of the drilling fluids and design requirements, well control, drill bit and drill string mechanics, different real-life drilling problems and their solutions, and so many others.

The readers will get full understanding of the drilling process including its engineering fundamentals, be able to recognize the problems associated with drilling and determine correct solutions, and even develop and execute the drilling programs...

DOCK WATER ALLOWANCE

Here is quite short but very informative and interesting video lecture giving the basic understanding of of the DWA. First, let me define what is the deck water. We are well aware of the fact that the density of the fresh water equals 1.000 t/cub.m., or we may also say that the relative density of the fresh water is 1. The sea water is having the density of approximately 1.025 t/cub.m., and therefore relative density of the salt water is 1.25.

Any water which lies somewhere between the two above mentioned limits, is commonly called Dock Water. And now we will try and understand subject concept... In short, a good one to refresh your knowledge of you are professional in the industry or learn something if you are a newcomer.

DYNAMIC POSITIONING

The Dynamic Positioning Systems, or DPS, is the system which is designed and installed on board vessels to keep these automatically in position with the assistance of the active thrusts. The system utilizes thrusters, rudders, and propellers to withstand the external forces like the wind or waves.

Dynamic positioning was first used in the 1960-es and has since that been improved to better serve the offshore industry. This video is demonstrating the application of the DP systems. In fact, the intention was to provide trainees with some general idea of what the dynamic positioning systems are without getting into technical details related to their construction, operating principles and arrangement.

All of these you may find in the publications and videos on the website while this particular video was prepared just to give a picture of the DP system.

DRILLING TECHNOLOGY IN NONTECHNICAL LANGUAGE

This is the second edition of this publication by Steve Devereux. The author has significantly updated and actually completely rewritten the whole content of the volume presenting the overview of the drilling technology and operations performed both offshore and onshore.

He is taking the readers though the entire process of drilling a well starting from a very basic geology through managing very complicated drilling operations. This updated release of the book is covering key management matters, for instance safety of the drilling, environmental impact, costs incurred and regulations to be complied with.

There is a new chapter offering valuable advice to the people who only consider working in the drilling industry. The book is really ideal for anyone with the interest in drilling, students, non-engineer specialists and industry veterans. The author has paid particular attention to the new technologies, i.e. drilling technologies introduced in the period since the release of the original edition of the publication.

As the title implies, the content of the book is expected to be easily understood even by the people with little to no technical knowledge, skills and experience. A truly indispensable training source suitable for everyone, from newcomer to expert.
