- W789271304 abstract "The open-top concept has only recently been seriously regarded as a realistic alternative for application to conventional containerships. While the subject has been under consideration at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a number of member nations have separately examined the concept within the context of regulatory compliance with existing rules. The U.S. Coast Guard has responsibility for development and presentation of the U.S. position at IMO, as well as the coactive creation and interpretation of the final rules. In 1991, a U.S. shipowner approached the Coast Guard to explore the feasibility of conversion of a number of ships in its fleet to an open-top configuration. During the ensuing year, the two parties worked closely together in the development and approval of a conceptual design which would meet the intent of the newly evolving IMO criteria and, at the same time, satisfy the Coast Guard's underlying concern for safety and conservatism. Several regulatory issues including the development of novel fire detection and protection, hold dewatering and ventilation systems for carriage of cargo in open-top holds were resolved. Moreover, special provisions were developed for the carriage of dangerous goods. Unique problems associated with the development of criteria for load line assignment resulted in an ambitious program of seakeeping model tests to assess the performance of the ships under adverse weather conditions. The results of these tests served as a basis for development of the international standards at IMO. The concept of assignment of load lines to open-top ships requires special consideration and ultimately has highlighted limitations of the existing Load Line Convention. As a result, IMO has undertaken a technical revision of the 1966 Load Line Convention to develop performance standards for both conventional and novel ships." @default.
