The document provides an introduction to the Common Structural Rules (CSR) developed by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) for bulk carriers and oil tankers. The CSR aims to establish a single set of strengthened structural requirements and ensure an equivalent level of safety compared to existing classification society rules. The CSR covers bulk carriers over 90m in length and oil tankers over 150m, and involves more extensive use of computational methods for structural assessments.

Major modifications of bulk carriers rules after the first draft
Larger uniform corrosion wastage allowances for transverse bulkheads and side shell in line with 95% probability of non-exceedance (instead of 90%) Thickness rounding procedure is modified, due to harmonisation between CSR Tank and CSR Bulk Harmonisation of Ships in Operation requirements between CSR Tank and CSR Bulk Rewritten FEM procedure: Finite element models are now only three holds models, with modified boundary conditions to provide same results between direct and superposition methods Modification of loading cases to be considered in Direct strength analysis Compliance with new SOLAS requirements for flooding of DSS bulk carriers Torsional loading to be considered for the hatch corners Mandatory GRAB notation for grab loading and steel coil requirements

What is CSR? Rules covering structural requirement for Bulk Carriers and Tankers A Rule set utilising state of the art computational methods for more extensive direct calculations Vessels built to CSR shall have overall safety of the hull structure equivalent to or better than that currently achieved by present rules Safety level exceeding any IACS members existing Rules.

Why CSR? To obtain control over the minimum safety level during the operation phase To eliminate competition between class societies with respect to structural requirements and standards To employ the combined experience and recourses of all IACS societies to develop a single standard, or set of Rules To ensure that a vessel meeting this new standard will be recognised by the industry as being at least as safe and robust as would have been required by any of the existing Rules

DNVs commitment to support the industry
DNVs well established Nauticus Hull program has undergone a major upgrade to provide efficient support for the new Rules. An extensive training program has been implemented for all approval units enabling our staff to be well prepared to provide efficient and local support Offer training programs to designers and yards Offer assistance and design reviews for the purpose of upgrading existing designs to comply with CSR Offer pre contract service in general

Why software support for the new Rules is so critical
The new rule requirements introduce a radical shift towards more computerisation of the rule formulations and structural assessment. Hence, good software support is critical for any Class to provide timely and rational support to ship-owners as well as designers and shipbuilders. Efficient software contributes to ensure safe design while shortening the design time.

Does CSR provide any benefits to the industry?
Greater transparency of the technical background to the Rules All IACS societies will cooperate to maintain a single Rule set Competition will be focused on service level, i.e. newbuilding and SiO support The net scantling principle, i.e. the minimum allowable scantlings during the operational lifetime of the vessel is defined as the net scantlings for the newbuilding design Reduced cost for ship yards by relating to one set of structural Rules only The intention of the new Rules is to encourage the design and construction of robust tankers and bulk carriers and to eliminate competition on scantlings The minimum fatigue design life is set to 25 year North Atlantic environment. The corrosion additions that have been established takes into account the location and the environment to which the structural members surface is subjected Stringent and clarified requirements to critical areas

CSR Bulk - Application
Applicable for Bulk Carriers with L 1 April 2006, where: -
90 m signed for construction after
Bulk Carrier is a sea going self-propelled ship which are constructed generally with single deck, double bottom, hopper side tanks and with single or double side skin construction in cargo length area and intended primarily to carry dry cargoes in bulk.

Typical Bulk Carrier Class notation before CSR
1A1 Bulk Carrier ESP Nauticus(Newbuilding) BC-A holds 2,4,6 and 8 may be empty for Bulk Carriers L > 150m designed to carry dry bulk cargoes of cargo density 1.0 t/m3 and above with specified holds empty at maximum draught. This notation implies that the ship is designed for alternate loading.
