 What are the consequences?

A typical AHTS previously with Tug and Supply Vessel Basic
or Supply Vessel notations will be entitled the following
notations:
✠1A1 Offshore Service Vessel AHTS
or; ✠1A1 Offshore Service Vessel (ROBUST) AHTS

A typical PSV previously with Supply Vessel Basic notation will
be entitled the following notations:
✠1A1 Offshore Service Vessel Supply

Upon request from the Owner, existing vessels may be entitled
the new notations

 Updated Tug Notation

Tug is defined as a ship type notation,
while Towing is an additional notation
related to Offshore Service Vessel

Tug notation will in most cases be
superfluous for a typical AHTS due to
the introduction of the new notations

The notation has been revised with the following main changes:

Updated testing requirements and bollard pull procedure

Documentation requirements have been revised

Towing arrangement and stability requirements have been revised

SiO survey requirements introduced

Towing arrangement drawing to be posted on bridge

 Dynamic Positioning Systems

DNV is developing new DP- notations customised for markets where the
DYNPOS- standard is considered beyond the actual needs

The new DP- notations will also be based on the principles in IMO
MSC/Circ. 645 “Guidelines for vessels with dynamic positioning systems”

The existing DYNPOS- notations are unchanged

The DYNPOS- notations have additional requirements as compared to the
DP- notations

Class entries to the DYNPOS- series:
- Documentation review, performance testing and FMEA failure testing

Class entries to the DP- series:

- Based on a corresponding, valid and maintained DP class notation, from the
losing society
