Section 1 General Requirements and Guidance
A. Introduction
1. Within the scope of classification, the characteristic features of hull, machinery and equipment
are reflected in the character of classifications and notations affixed to the character of classification.
2. Class notations are assigned in order to determine the applicable rule requirements for
assignment and retention of class.
3. Class notations The ship type notations are defined are either mandatory or optional are
indicated in Tables given in Section 2 to Section 3. Certain ship type notations are determined mandatory
based on e.g.:
– type of cargo
– number of passengers
– the ability to execute special operations.
4. Due to the space restriction, the presentation of class notations in the Class Certificates and
documents issued by BKI, in the Register of Vessels and in the electronic customer portals, may differ from
the presentation in this Guidance.
5. Application
5.1 All ships and offshore units/installations admitted or being admitted to class after the effective
application date of the current Guidance are to be assigned class notations in accordance with B to J.
5.2 Ships and offshore units/installations with notations assigned in accordance with previous
editions of the Guidance keep their current notations, latest until next class renewal survey.
At the class renewal survey, notations having an equivalence with the notations given in the current edition,
are replaced. Notations indicated as having no equivalence with any notation in the current Guidance are
kept for the life time of the ship.
Note:
At Upon Owner’s request, change over from former to current notations may be performed before the next
class renewal survey.
5.3 Untuk aplikasi notasi klas pada kapal/unit/installation yang sudah ada (existing/transfer of class)
yaitu sesuai dengan tanggal completion survey. For existing or transfer of class on ships and
offshore units/installations, the class notation will be assigned after the survey
completion date.

Peraturan Kapal Domestik (Bag. 8, Vol. I).
The ship's hull does not fully comply with the requirements of BKI Technical
Rules; however, the Class may be maintained for a shorter period and/or with
shorter survey intervals. The symbol 90 indicate the maintenance condition
of the ship's hull in relation to the requirements of the BKI Technical Rules,
M90 taking into account the permissible corrosion and wear tolerances.
For domestic ships in correspond to service area symbols namely P(ID), L(ID),

of Peraturan Kapal Domestik (Bag. 8, Vol. I) where class is still maintained with
shorter interval periods of survey.
The naval ship's hull fully complies with the requirements of the BKI
Construction Rules or other rules considered to be equivalent. p as a figure
is indicating the duration of the nominal Class period [years].
Normally p = 5, but BKI may agree to adjustment to the material and
N100 (p) maintenance scheme of a Naval Administration.
The nominal Class period can be reduced in exceptional cases and for a limited
time, if the ship does not fully comply with the Rules but has been allowed to
operate under restrictions, e.g. regarding the service range and/or weather
conditions
The machinery including electrical installations fully complies with the
requirements of BKI Technical Rules or other Rules considered to be
equivalent.
W For domestic ships in correspond to service area symbols namely P(ID), L(ID),
and T(ID) in Table 1.5, the ship`s machinery including electrical installations

underwater hulls or footings by widely spaced columns. Column Stabilized Units depend upon the buoyancy
of the columns, lower hulls or footings for flotation stability for all modes of operation afloat or in the
raising or lowering the unit, as may be applicable.
This notation is assigned to mobile offshore unit capable of engaging in offshore operation other than
drilling, storage, production, or handling of hydrocarbons having a hull with sufficient buoyancy to
transport the unit to the desired location.

personnel, engaged in some aspect of offshore or related employment, excluding members of the
crew. It denotes accommodation units designed and built in accordance with Rules for Mobile
Offshore Unit (Pt.5, Vol.VI), Sec.12.C.
– Offshore Crane: unit engaged in the operation for the lifting of heavy loads in oil drilling and/or
production operations or offshore construction. It denotes crane units designed and built in
accordance with Rules for Mobile Offshore Unit (Pt.5, Vol.VI), Sec.12.E.

notation may be waived with special consideration by BKI.
6.2 Qualifiers
– Spar-Type: An installation possessing a deep draft, vertical floating structure,

usually of cylindrical shape, supporting a topside structure (if any) and moored to
the seafloor. The hull can be divided into upper hull, mid-section and lower hull.
– Column-Stabilized Type An installation consisting of surface piercing columns,
submerged pontoons and a deck supported at column tops. Buoyancy is provided
by the submerged pontoons, surface piercing columns and braces, if any
– Ship Type: Ship type is single displacement hulls, either ship-shaped or barge-
shaped installation with or without the side or bottom structure.
– Manned: A manned aquaculture installation is one with permanent occupied living

accommodations or one that requires the continuous attendance of personnel for
more than 12 hours in successive 24-hour periods.
– Unmanned: An unmanned aquaculture installation which is unattended, but which
may be visited regularly, and where its operations are aligned with requirements
from the national authority and owner's classification of pre-determined risk
severity (e.g. safety level may be considered that operation can be shut-in during
the design environmental event, equivalent to the medium exposure level (L2) as
defined in ISO 19904-1)
Such installations are provided with accommodation that is suitable for the
intended visits to the installation

– the time to prevent persons in survival craft from exposure causing
hypothermia in the worst intended conditions,
– the time appropriate with respect to environmental conditions and
geographical features of the route, or
