Full title and description

ND 2-020101-042 — Rules for the classification and construction of small sea fishing vessels (Russian Maritime Register of Shipping; edition 2020). The document establishes classification, construction and survey requirements applied by the Register to small sea fishing vessels in newbuild and technical supervision processes.

Abstract

This normative document sets out classification rules, structural and outfitting requirements, and survey procedures for small sea fishing vessels. It covers principles of classification, hull design and scantlings, welded structures, watertight integrity, essential shipboard systems (propulsion, steering, anchoring, electrical), safety-related installations, and requirements for technical documentation and certification applied by the Register to vessels within its stated size and power ranges.

Scope

Applies to classification, technical supervision and construction requirements for small sea fishing vessels in the Register’s remit — specifically those in new construction with hull length from about 12 m to 24 m and main engine power in the approximately 55–375 kW range. The rules are intended for use by the Register when performing survey, certification and class-assignment activities; certain vessel types (for example some open or undecked craft) are excluded as noted in the text.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification principles and class notations, permitted areas/limits of operation.
• Technical documentation, drawings and approval procedures for design and construction.
• Hull design principles, structural scantlings, welding and special reinforcements.
• Watertight integrity, subdivision, stability and buoyancy requirements appropriate to fishing operations.
• Machinery, propulsion and steering system requirements including engine installation limits and survey points.
• Anchoring, mooring and towing arrangements; deck equipment and cargo / gear handling considerations.
• Electrical systems, lighting, and essential ship service installations.
• Safety equipment, lifesaving appliances and crew accommodation requirements where applicable.
• Survey, inspection intervals, certification and procedures for technical supervision during construction and afloat.

Typical use and users

Used by ship designers and naval architects, shipyards and builders, class surveyors and inspectors of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, vessel owners/operators of small sea fishing vessels, and regulatory/compliance personnel responsible for vessel certification, safe operation and class maintenance.
