Section 7 Redeployment of existing units

7.1 General

7.1.1 If the 100-year environmental loads are larger than those of the previous geographical location then the requirements of Pt 10, Ch 1, 6 Structural design – Tanker conversions are to be applied for the redeployment of existing ship units.

7.2 Fatigue analysis

7.2.1 Fatigue calculations should take into account the fatigue damage accumulated prior to redeployment.

7.2.2 The design corrosion additions are to be deducted from the scantlings measured at the time of redeployment, as described in the LR ShipRight Procedure for Ship Units. This is to ensure the calculation of fatigue damage after redeployment accounts for any reduction in the as-built scantlings. The analysis is required to verify that the remaining fatigue life of the hull structure is compatible with the required service life on location, see also Pt 10, Ch 1, 6.3 Fatigue analysis 6.3.8.
