Overview

The class guideline provides a systematic and cost effective approach for preparing the vessel for lay-up and maintaining it in a safe and cost effective condition during lay-up.

An overview of the various parties’ involvement in laying-up of vessels is given in Sec.2 in order to assist ship owners in evaluating the different scenarios of lay-ups.

If the vessel is laid-up in compliance with the recommendations given in Sec.3 and Sec.4, the Society may upon a successful verification, issue a lay-up declaration and lay-up preservation declaration respectively stating compliance with said requirements. If the vessel is laid-up in compliance with the additional requirements given in Sec.5 and [4.5], a declaration for clean lay-up may be issued.

Finally, some practical procedures for re-commissioning the vessel are given in Sec.2 [1.3] and Sec.6.

It should be noted that the guidance herein are not classification requirements. The recommendations given are of a general character. Maritime, national or local authorities and insurance companies may have individual requirements not covered by this document.

Furthermore, the specific requirements for equipment manufacturers may take precedence over the guidance presented.
