5.1.1 The
design and arrangements are to comply with the requirements of this
Chapter and with relevant statutory regulations of the National Authority
of the country in which the ship or structure is registered and/or
in which it is to operate.
5.1.2 The
process plant is to be designed for normal operation in accordance
with recognised and agreed codes suitably modified to take into account
the ship-borne environment in all its aspects. Except for emergency
conditions, as detailed in Pt 7, Ch 2, 3.1 General 3.1.3 or Pt 7, Ch 2, 3.1 General 3.1.4, the total stress in any component
of the plant is not to exceed the code value at the temperature concerned,
unless expressly agreed otherwise by LR, whether the plant is operative
or non-operative, when subjected to any possible combination of the
following loads:
-
Static and dynamic
loads due to wave-induced ship motions.
-
Loads resulting
from hull flexural effects at the plant support points.
-
Direct wind loads.
-
Normal process
weights and pressures.
-
Thermal loads.
