Ch.1 Sec.1
D 200   Definitions

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
201
   Column-stabilised unit: A unit with the main deck connected to the underwater hull or footings by columns.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
202
   Engine room: This is the space containing propulsion machinery and machinery for generation of electrical power. Rooms within or adjacent to the engine room with visual contact with the machinery are considered to be part of the engine room.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
203
   Floating offshore installation: A buoyant construction engaged in offshore operations including drilling, production, storage or support functions, and which is designed and built for installation at a particular offshore location.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
204
   Machinery spaces: All machinery spaces of category A and all other spaces containing propulsion machinery, boilers, oil fuel units, steam and internal combustion engines, generators and major electrical machinery, oil filling stations, refrigerating, stabilizing, ventilation and air conditioning machinery, and similar spaces, and trunks to such spaces.

(SOLAS Reg. II-1/3.16)

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
205
   Machinery spaces of category A: Those spaces and trunks to such spaces which contain:
internal combustion machinery used for main propulsion; or
internal combustion machinery used for purposes other than main propulsion where such machinery has in the aggregate a total power output of not less than 375 kW; or
any oil-fired boiler or oil fuel unit.

(SOLAS Reg. II-1/3.17)

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
206
   Machinery Room: Room in which major items of equipment are installed. The term is used instead of Machinery Space on installations which are non-self propelled or fixed. Depending on the equipment involved requirements will be similar to those for either Machinery Space or Machinery Space of Category A.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
207
   Marine piping: Piping serving the marine systems on an offshore unit and which is not primarily intended for operation in drilling or hydrocarbon production service or dedicated auxiliary systems.

Marine piping systems include the following:
ballast system
bilge system
drains system
air/overflow systems
sounding system
cooling system
lubricating oil system
fuel oil system
thermal oil system
feed water and condensate systems
steam system
hydraulic system
pneumatic system
firewater system.


Ch.1 Sec.1 D
208
   Mobile offshore unit: A buoyant construction engaged in offshore operations including drilling, production, storage or support functions, not intended for service at one particular offshore site and which can be relocated without major dismantling or modification.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
209
   Offshore installation: A collective term to cover any construction, buoyant or non-buoyant, designed and built for installation at a particular offshore location.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
210
   Redundancy: The ability to maintain or restore a function when one failure has occurred. Redundancy can be achieved for instance by installation of more than one unit (component redundancy) or by having two or more separate systems capable of performing the same function (system redundancy).

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
211
   System availability: The time the system is available.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
Table D1 System availability 
System category Repair time 
Continuous availability (R0) None  
High availability (R1) 30 s 
Manual system restoration (R2) 10 minutes 
Repairable systems (R3) 3 hours 

See also DNV-OS-D202 Ch.2 Sec.1 B for more detailed definition.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
212
   Self-elevating unit: A unit with movable legs capable of raising its hull above the surface of the sea.

Ch.1 Sec.1 D
213
   Ship-shaped unit: A unit with a ship- or barge-type displacement hull of single or multiple hull construction intended for operation in the floating condition.
