This volume is intended to set out the good industry practice. Note that the provisions of the present document shall not be considered mandatory. The guidelines contained in this volume shall apply to all ships that are usually engaged in the transportation of cargo, towing and anchor handling operations, as well as any other activities typical for the offshore operations.
