GUIDELINES ON ANCHORING SYSTEMS FOR MODUs ? 1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-sixth session (28 May to 6 June 1996), having noted the provisions of section 4.11 of the 1989 MODU Code, approved the Guidelines on anchoring systems for MODUs prepared by the Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Equipment, as set out in the annex, and agreed that the Guidelines should be referred to in the footnote to section 4.11 of the Code. 2 Member Governments are invited to bring the Guidelines to the attention of bodies concerned for application as appropriate. ? ANNEX PREAMBLE Reference is made to the Preamble of 1989 MODU Code. 1 Application 1.1 These guidelines supplement Section 4.11 of the 1989 MODU Code. 1.2 When an assessment of a MODUs anchoring performance according to the 1989 IMO MODU Code is required, these guidelines may be applied for units whose primary method of position keeping is provided by a spread catenary anchoring system. 1.3 These guidelines may also be used for mobile offshore units (MOUs) other than MODUs, e.g., accommodation units, tender vessels, crane barges, etc. 2 General principles 2.1 The design of a spread catenary anchoring system should be based upon the units operating requirements in relation to the design specification of the anchoring system, the system capability/operability, integrity and reliability. There should also be means of relating the design limitations to the proposed locations and site specific environmental conditions. 2.2 Anchoring analysis should be developed in parallel with such operational practices (e.g. line adjustment, and use of propulsion) as are achievable in a timely manner and which are intended to be used in practice. 3 Anchoring analysis 3.1 Anchoring analysis should be conducted to demonstrate that the unit can, either at proposed locations and site specific conditions or generally, withstand: .1 acceptable environmental conditions during operation; and .2 maximum design environmental conditions.
