1. Introduction
On December 20th 2013, IACS Council has adopted the new Harmonised Common Structural Rules
for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (CSR H). The Research and Development departments of the
Marine division of BUREAU VERITAS have actively participated in the implementation of these new
rules.
In that context, the MARS 2000 team is now releasing a version of our software that will allow
assessing the prescriptive requirements of the CSR H.
This note presents the new elements necessary to assess the CSR H compared to the previous
Common Structural Rules (CSR).
2. Overview
MARS 2000 contains a complete package to assess the prescriptive requirements of the CSR H:
Global strength criteria (yielding, ultimate and residual strength),
Local scantling of strakes, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners for cross sections (minimum,
yielding and buckling criteria),
Fatigue calculations of connections between longitudinal stiffeners and primary structure,
Local scantling of strakes and secondary stiffeners for transverse bulkheads (minimum and yielding
criteria).
In addition there are specific requirements by type of ship:
For Bulk Carriers:
Assessment of the side frames for single sided bulk carriers,
Grab load assessment.
For Oil Tankers:
Assessment of the Primary Supporting Members (PSM) ring.
Part 3 of this document describes the new data that needs to be input compared to an already defined
CSR Bulk Carrier or CSR Oil ship project in MARS 2000. Part 4 outlines the calculation options and
results. Appendix A sums up the requirements and their presence in MARS 2000.
For ships having the service notation Bulk Carrier CSR or Oil Tanker CSR a new checkbox is
available in the Notations frame in the Basic Ship Data (BSD). By ticking it, the assessment of the
MARS 2000 database will be done according to the CSR H rules.
3.1.2.
The great majority of the notations and main data are the same as every other MARS 2000 database.
However, two inputs can be pointed out at this level:
For Bulk Carrier ships: for the additional class notation Grab, there is a minimum grab weight
function of the rule length of ship in the CSR H rules (ref: Pt 1, Ch 1, Sec1, 3.2.2). This minimum
will be effective within the input field and will also be re-evaluated afterwards within the
calculations.
2/19
For Oil Tanker ships: additional data is required to compute the green sea pressures (ref: Pt 1, Ch
4, Sec 5, 2.2). Those data were already an input for CSR Bulk Carriers.
NOTE: If the freeboard length LLL is not set, the calculations will be done using the scantling
length. If the field distance from AE to FELL is left empty, it will be taken equal to LLL.
3.1.3.
The assessment of the bottom slamming criteria (ref: Pt 1, Ch 10, Sec 1, 3.2) will be automatically
triggered in the relevant sections by the input of two new ballast draughts (ref: Pt 1, Ch 4, Sec 5,
3.2.1):
Minimum empty draught at FP (m): Design slamming draught at the forward perpendicular (FP)
defined as the minimum draught at the FP indicated in the loading manual for all seagoing conditions
where any of the ballast tanks within the bottom slamming region are empty including all loading
conditions with tanks inside the bottom slamming region that use the sequential ballast water
exchange method.
Minimum full draught at FP (m): Design slamming draught at the FP defined as the minimum draught
at the FP indicated in the loading manual for all seagoing conditions where all ballast tanks within the
bottom slamming region are full including all loading conditions with tanks inside the bottom slamming
region that use the flow-through ballast water exchange method.
NOTE: If these draughts are left empty, no bottom slamming assessment will be performed within the
database project.
3/19
3.1.4.
The CSR H rules fix the values of GM and roll radius to be used (ref: Pt 1, Ch 4, Sec 3, Tables 1 & 2)
so it is not a necessary input for CSR H databases.
3.1.5.
For fatigue assessment, it is possible to input the Design Fatigue Life (ref: Pt 1, Ch 9, Sec 1,
Symbols):
NOTE: If this field is left empty, the reference minimum of 25 years will be taken as Design Fatigue
Life within the calculations.
4/19
3.2.1.
MARS 2000 having unlinked sections, it is necessary to input the heights of bulk cargo into sections
where the geometry of the current section is not the correct one to evaluate hc.
5/19
NOTE: Part 4.2.2 of this Memo explains how to retrieve those values from the appropriate MARS 2000
sections.
3.2.2.
Connection data
It should be noticed at first that the three Common Structural Rules dont have the same convention as
shown in the following example:
CSR Bulk Carriers
Aft
a
CSR H
dw
Fore
f
Within MARS 2000, data is made as independent as possible from any given rule set. As a
consequence, it is sought after to ensure a two-way compatibility between older databases and new
ones, as well as within a database given a different rule set.
This means that compared to the provided list of connection types with the CSR H (ref: Pt 1, Ch 9, Sec
4, Table 4):
Watertight and non-watertight equivalent types are regrouped,
Some types are divided according to bracket size,
6/19
There is a Reverse connection information in order to adapt the current detail according to MARS
2000 convention. In that respect, MARS 2000 follows CSR Bulk Carrier convention (a Aft / f
Fore), which means regarding the CSR H convention that the B is Aft whether A is Fore.
It is possible to check through the Details button, if the concentration factors displayed (and later
used) are those expected.
7/19
For sections in way of the ballast hold, in the compartment dimensions data, it is necessary to input
the value of the length of the hatch coaming in order to calculate the longitudinal ullage factor of the
liquid dynamic pressures for the fatigue check (ref: Pt 1, Ch 4, Sec 6, 1.3.1)
3.2.3.
Please refer to the Memo CSR for Oil Tankers Primary Supporting Members Assessment with MARS
(reference: DEV/UG/Mars2000/M006) regarding the input of PSM.
8/19
Main Data
For Bulk Carrier ships, and as mentioned in Part 3.2.1 of this document, it might be necessary to input
the heights of the bulk cargo.
9/19
3.3.2.
This is only a reminder as these inputs already existed for the previous CSR.
For Bulk Carrier ships
For the assessment of transverse vertically corrugated watertight bulkheads separating cargo holds in
flooded conditions (ref: Pt 2, Ch 1, Sec 3, 3) it is necessary to input additional data to better describe
the corrugated bulkhead.

Before running the assessment of a section, it is possible to choose over several checks and
calculations to be performed.

Results display
12/19
The residual strength is a new result display needed for CSR H rules. It provides a synthesis over all
damage cases run, as well as the results values and a sketch of the section for each damage case.
13/19
Local criteria
They regroup the minimum scantlings, yielding and buckling checks as well as the local expression of
the hull girder strength criteria or any other specific criteria (plate thickness under grab requirement for
Bulk Carrier ships, fatigue criteria for longitudinal stiffeners, etc.)
Plating
Longitudinal Stiffeners
Transverse Stiffeners
NOTE: The dominant case labelling of the yielding checks is explained in Appendix B.
4.2.2.
The results prints and the view results files can provide additional result values. Two examples will be
given here.
All load cases values
It might be of interest to check the non-dominant load cases for a given element and a given criteria.
Several files give access to the complete set of load cases run. They are available under the menu
Tools View Results.
