LR III.1.1
The Regulations for classification and the assignment of class notations are
given in Pt 1, Ch 2 of the Rules for Ships to which reference should be made. In
general, the class to be assigned will be:
- 100A1 liquefied gas tanker, where the vessel is designed
and constructed primarily for the carriage of liquefied gases in bulk in
integral or membrane tanks,
-
100A1 liquefied gas carrier, where the vessel is designed and constructed
primarily for the carriage of liquefied gases in bulk in independent tanks.
LR III.1.2
Where an International Certificate of Fitness has been issued by LR as provided
for in paragraph LR II.5, the notation Ship Type 1G, 2G 2PG or 3G will be assigned
as appropriate. Where the International Certificate of Fitness is issued by the
appropriate National Authority, the notations Ship Type 1G*, 2G*, 2PG* or 3G* will
be assigned. As the provisions outlined in LR II.4 of these Rules are not
requirements for classification, an asterisk is employed to indicate that the IGC
Code requirements in these respects have not been verified by LR for the purpose of
classification.
LR III.1.3
The assignment of a Ship Type notation does not imply that the ship is suitable
for all cargoes listed in Chapter 19 as requiring that Ship Type. Those cargoes from
Chapter 19 for the carriage of which the ship has been approved are to be included
in the class notation or named on a List of Defined Cargoes which is to be attached
to the Classification Certificate.
