1 Purpose
BW Offshore (BWO) has entered a contract with Premier Oil to carry out Front End Engineering
and Design (FEED) of an FPSO for the Ft Catcher FPSO FEED Project.
The FPSO shall be designed for 20 years of uninterrupted operation (operation life) without need
for dry-docking. The FPSO will be deployed on the Catcher Area fields, located offshore
approximately 200 km east of Aberdeen on the UK sector of the North Sea.

7 Applicable Authorities
7.1 General
The FPSO will be deployed on the Catcher Area fields, in the UK Sector of the North Sea. Hence,
the FPSO will have to comply with national laws and regulations for offshore installations
operating on the UKCS.
As this FPSO in addition will be self-propelled with the ability to move freely in international
waters, the FPSO will be Flagged (Panama) and classed by a Recognized Classification Society,
DNV GL, hence chosen Flag State and Classification Society’s Rules and Regulations apply.
The following Local Governing Authorities (LGAs) are involved in the approval of the design,
construction and operation of the FPSO.
7.1.1 Coastal State – United Kingdom Continental Shelf
UK Health and Safety Executive
Following the merger of the Health and Safety Committee and the Health and Safety Executive in
2008, the new unitary body Health and Safety Executive were committed to maintaining the
current legal position whereby only duly authorised officials make individual enforcement
decisions.
The Health and Safety Executive mandate includes proposing new legislation to be considered by
the Parliament, and being responsible for the enforcement of the Health and Safety Act and
Regulations. In addition they approve and issue Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and ALARP
Guidelines.
UK Department of Energy & Climate Change
The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) manage the UK energy legacy
responsibility.
UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) implements the government's maritime safety policy
in the UK, and works to prevent the loss of life on the coast and at sea.
The MCA provide a 24-hour maritime search and rescue service around the UK coast and in the
international search and rescue region through HM Coastguard and inspect and survey ships to
ensure that they are meeting UK and international safety rules. They also provide certification to
seafarers, register vessels and respond to pollution from shipping and offshore installations.
UK Civil Aviation Authority
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) enforces regulations concerning the safety of aircraft in
flight, and for the passengers and crew whilst the aircraft is moving under its own power. The
Helideck Certification Agency (HCA) approves the helideck design for operation on behalf of
CAA.
7.1.2 Flag State – Panama Maritime Authority
The Panama Registry is committed to being a high quality shipping register and maritime
authority which main mandate is ensuring that Panama registered ships meet all international
requirements.
Page 9 of 42
Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
The Panama Registry is a quality internatio

international registry.
7.1.3 Classification Society – Det Norske Veritas
Class has its origin from the maritime in
industry, and is closely linked to the national maritime
regimes as a building block in their legislative system.
The FPSO shall be classed by a Recognized Classification
Classification Society, which is a member of IACS
and has established rules for the classification of FPSO Facilities.
DNV GL has been chosen as Classification Society for the Catcher project.
DNV GL Offshore Classification establishe
establishes
s basic rule requirements based on theory and
experience for Mobile Offshore Units, and later verifies that the required safety standards are
designed and built in, observed and maintained through the offshore unit’s life cycle.
7.1.4 Independent Verifying Body
An Independent Verifying Body (IVB) shall verify the design against relevant UK requirements as
defined in this Regulatory
egulatory Compliance Plan,, the Safety Case (UK Operations) Management
Strategy /52/ and the Independent Verification documents /55/ & /56/.
BWO will propose that DNV GL Aberdeen act as the IVB, as further defined in Section 8.2.3.
7.1.5 Notified Body
In order to comply with relevant EU directives,
directives, verification and certification shall be done by a
Notified Body (NoBo).
The Notified Body is a semi-official
semi official or private technical organisation appointed by EU Member
States, either for approval and monitoring of the manufacturers' quality assurance system or for
direct product inspection. A Notified Body may be specialised for certain products/product
categories or for certain modules.

8 Relevant Rules, Regulations, Codes and Standards

It is the responsibility of all parties involved in the project to work strictly in accordance with UKCS
legislation and the relevant codes, standards and best practices identified within the relevant core
documents.
Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
8.1 Precedence
Rules, regulations, codes and standards shall be applied in the following order of precedence.
1) Statutory requirements as defined by the relevant Coastal State and/or other Local Governing
Authorities (LGA)
2) Flag State requirements
3) Classification Society Rules
4) Project specified codes and standards
a) Premier Oil Technical Documents
i) Bid Bulletins
b) BWO project specific requirement
5) BWO’s codes and working standards
In case of conflict; the more onerous requirement with respect to safety shall apply. Where equal
but conflicting requirements arise between the applicable regulations, codes and standards and
the referenced documents, such regulatory conflicts should be brought to the attention of the
Engineering Manager, and a Clarification/DPR shall be issued to Premier Oil in writing.
8.2 Coastal State Requirements – UK Continental Shelf
The governing legislation for FPSO’s will be those of the Local Governing Authority/Coastal State
in the area of operations.
All states have full sovereignty with regard to regulating activities on their continental shelves and
are generally not regulated by international conventions. Matters under UK Coastal State
jurisdiction are unaffected by the Flag of the FPSO.

Figure 8-1: UKCS Scheme
The UK Acts and Statutory Instruments are published on the web and are available free of charge
to anyone. A list of UK Coastal State Requirements relevant to the design, construction and
operation of the FPSO is defined in the project.
The Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) contain advice on how to achieve the legislative
requirements, and practical advice on compliance. These ACOPs have a special legal status.
UK Health and Safety Executive have produced a suite of operational guidance documents
(ALARP guidelines) which sets out principles and guidelines required by Duty Holders, ref. 8.2.2.
Principles and guidelines are established in order to assist the UK Health and Safety Executive in
its judgements that duty-holders have reduced risk as low as reasonably practicable.
The “ALARP Suite of Guidelines” consists of 6 documents:
Page 11 of 42
Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
• Assessing compliance with the law in individual cases and the use of good practice
• Policy and guidance on reducing risks as low as reasonably practicable in Design
• Principles and guidelines to assist HSE in its judgements that duty-holders have reduced
risk as low as reasonably practicable
• HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions
• Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) Checklist
• ALARP "at a glance"
The UK Health and Safety Executive and UK Offshore Guidance material describes good
practice. Following these guidelines is not compulsory, but doing so is normally enough to
demonstrate compliance with the UKCS legislation.
It is therefore essential that the disciplines review the UK Health and Safety Executive ACOPs
and Guidelines material, as these may be used to document best practice and ALARP process.
UKCS Guidance material, such as Safety Notes, Offshore Information Sheets, Operations Notes,
Research Reports, and Safety Alerts etc. should be considered in the design and construction as
well as the operation phase. A list of relevant Guidance material can be found in Appendix B.

In addition to the above, some Merchant Shipping Regulations relevant for non-UK registered
Ships/FPSOs operating in UK jurisdictional waters will apply.
EU Directives
Installation of the FPSO in the UK sector implies that the FPSO must be in accordance with the
EU directives enforced by UK regulations. This will mean that CE-marking applies, and that
relevant systems and equipment (of non-marine nature) must comply with i.e. PED, EMC, MD,
LVD, R&TTE and ATEX directives as defined in the EU Directives Applicable to FPSO’s on
UKCS document /51/ .

Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
8.2.2 Duty Holders Responsibilities

Demonstrating compliance with Safety Case Regulations to the UK Health and Safety Executive
is the responsibility of the installation Duty Holder. The Field Licence Holder (Premier Oil) is
responsible for appointing the Duty Holder and will most likely appoint the FPSO vessel owner as
Duty Holder for the installation. Premier Oil will remain the Duty Holder for the pipelines and
wells.
The Duty Holder for the installations is responsible for establishing and keeping under continual
review a written verification scheme for the safety critical elements as identified in a “Safety
Case”, as per The Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations 2005.
Such written verification scheme will not be defined during FEED phase
A plan for which documents shall be submitted to the Health and Safety Executive will be
established including date for submittal, reference is made to the Permits and Consents Plan /54/.
8.2.3 Independent Verification Body/Independent Competent Person
The contracted Independent Verification Body (IVB) will appoint an Independent Competent
Person (ICP). The ICP shall conduct reviews and assurance activities in accordance with the
developed OSCR Verification Scheme, in order to obtain assurance that safety critical elements
and PFEER specified plant are suitable and remain suitable for the life of the installation.
The appointed ICP will review the SCEs for the FPSO in accordance with OSCR, which require
such comment on the record of SCEs. The review will be performed on the basis of the ICP’s
engineering judgment, expertise, and experience.
BWO shall ensure that the ICP has direct contact with the Project Class Society Surveyors (if not
same person) and that the ICP makes suitable arrangements for the review of design documents
and on-site inspection of Safety Critical Elements and their adherence to the laid down
Performance Standards.
Any Remedial Action Recommendations issued by the ICP in connection with the design or
construction activities shall be acted upon and closed out as appropriate.
The involvement of the ICP is not intended during FEED phase. However, it is BWO’s intention to
use a senior DNV GL class surveyor with extensive UKCS experience as the ICP on the Catcher
project.
8.3 Flag State Requirements
The FPSO shall be registered as a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit. The
FPSO will be registered in The Panama Registry, hence fly the flag of the Republic of Panama.
As the FPSO proposed for the Catcher project is self-propelled with the possibility of trading
internationally, it has to comply with safety regulations of the Maritime Authority in the Country
whose flag the unit is flying. The Flag State adopts, implements and is enforcing internationally
agreed safety regulations through national maritime law. In addition to international safety
regulations, the Flag State has in most cases recognized classification rules as part of their
national regulations.
The responsibility for coordinating and verifying the promulgation of the Panamanian national
regulation which facilitates the implementation of the International conventions signed by
Panama, lies with the Panama Maritime Authority, General Directorate of Merchant Marine. The
function of the General Directorate of Merchant Marine is to ensure Panamanian registry ships
comply with national legal dispositions and that they are part of the International Conventions
ratified by the Republic of Panama, in terms of navigation safety, maritime safety, as well as the
prevention and control of pollution at sea.
At the moment Panama does have a limited number of national rules and/or guidance applicable
to FPSOs other than the requirements of IMO, ILO and Class requirements. However, to some
extent Panama Maritime Authority’s Merchant Marine Circulars and PMA Resolutions may be
applicable to FPSOs, a list is included in Appendix A. When issues of interpretation arise,
Panama Maritime Authority will deal with them as necessary.
Page 14 of 42
Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
The FPSO shall be designed in accordance with all applicable national laws, regulations,
resolutions and guidance and international maritime Conventions, Regulations, Codes and Acts
but not limited to, i.e. SOLAS, MARPOL, ILLC and MODU Code as found applicable.
A list of relevant Flag State Rules and Regulations relevant to the design of the FPSO can be
found in Appendix A.
8.3.1 International Conventions and Statutory Certificates
The international maritime conventions made at the International Maritime Organization and at
the International Labour Organization (ILO) are formally extended to Panama Maritime Authority’s
Merchant Marine Circulars and PMA Resolutions once they have been ratified by the Republic of
Panama.
It is BWO’s understanding that Panama want the MODU Code to be applied (as applicable) also
for non-drilling offshore units, including FPSOs, hence from BWO’s understanding MODU stated
in PMA Circulars will also apply to FPSOs (as applicable) [HOLD 1].
Conventions ratified by the Republic of Panama, and the associated statutory certificates the
FPSO shall carry, are found in the below table:

Flag State during FEED. However, the design shall be in accordance with the above conventions,
and documents shall be reviewed internally in BWO and by our sub-contractors for compliance
with the above conventions as part of the engineering and quality control process.
Further reference is made to Appendix A.
8.3.2 Delegated Authorities
Panama Maritime Authority has delegated Authority to DNV GL to perform statutory surveys and
issue Statutory Certificates on behalf of the Republic of Panama; the authorisations include
approval of manuals associated with the certification. The agreement between Panama and DNV
GL meets the IMO standards for delegation to recognized organisations and covers the extent to
which functions are delegated to the societies.
The exemption to the above is matters related to Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) and Safety
Management Certificate (SMC), which are not normally delegated and which are completed by
the Administration.
Relevant IMO requirements such as SOLAS, MARPOL, ICLL, Tonnage and national maritime
legislation etc. will be reviewed and/or approved by DNV GL on behalf of Panama as part of the
classification services in the detailed design phase.
8.4 Classification Requirements
It is a requirement that the FPSO shall be classed by a Recognized Classification Society (CS),
which is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), and has
established rules for the classification of FPSO’s.
By classing the FPSO, it is BWO’s aim to having an independent third party verifying that the
design has the required safety standards built-in, that this is observed and maintained.
Classification scope targets primarily the integrity of the asset through focus on safety critical
elements. Classification implies an activity, including;
• Design Approval
• Certification of materials, components and equipment
• Surveyed during construction on the basis of design approval
• Tested before being taken into service
• Surveyed regularly during its whole operational life.
Disciplines covered within main class:
• Safety principles and arrangement, materials, hull design and construction, mooring, fire
protection.
• Systems and equipment related to marine and safety functions, incl.:
o Utility, stability (intact and damaged), electrical, instrumentation and
telecommunications
Page 16 of 42
Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
Additional notations cover:

• Production plant, mooring equipment, helideck safety, noise and vibration, cranes for
personnel transfer etc.
For further description of the Classification process, reference is made to the Classification and
Maintenance of FPSO Classification document /53/.
8.4.1 Det Norske Veritas
The chosen Classification Society for the FPSO will be Det Norske Veritas; hence DNV GL’s
Rules and Standards apply.
The FPSO will be designed to the following DNV GL class notations:
1A1 Ship-shaped Oil Production and Storage Unit FMS HELDK CRANE ECO PROD

8.5 Interface between Class and Various Sites
The DNV GL acts as an independent 3rd party throughout the design, engineering and building of
the FPSO, fabrication of the Topsides and Mooring Systems, offshore installation and
commissioning phases. DNV GL will set up its organisation accordingly, headed by a dedicated
Project Manager (PM).
During the design and engineering phase, DNV GL will be involved with a Plan Approval team,
headed by a Project Manager Approval (PMA), who will be responsible for the review a set of pre-
defined drawings, calculations etc. as required by DNV GL. BWO will by this obtain required
Page 18 of 42
Doc. No: 4251-RA-00379913 Rev.: D
design approval, in order to fulfil Class and Statutory requirements. Class comments will be
reviewed and acted upon as applicable.
During the building of the FPSO at the selected yard, DNV GL will be represented by a site team,
headed by a Project Manager Field (PMF), responsible for site surveys, mechanical completion
and commissioning activities. DNV GL representatives will participate in the amount deemed
necessary by Class. Site punch list items will be reviewed and acted upon as applicable.
BWO shall engage a Certification of Materials and Components (CMC) coordinator from the
selected Classification Society, who will act as a Single Point of Contact towards all BWO sub-
contractors delivering materials and components to the Catcher project. The CMC-coordinator will
have the overview of Class and Statutory requirements relevant for the project.
As part of BWO sub-contractors deliverable, materials and components are to be delivered with
accompanying relevant certification as required. It is the responsibility of each sub-contractor to
contact the selected Classification Societies local office in order to obtain such certificates. DNV
GL will review documents, witness FAT’s etc. as deemed necessary.
8.6 International Standards
In addition to Coastal State, Flag State and Classification Requirements, international standards
apply as referenced in the Premier Oil project specific Basis of Design /1/ and Functional
Specification /2/, and BWO Philosophies and Specifications. International Standards referenced
in the Premier Oil documents are enclosed in Appendix A.
Where government legislation, Flag State requirements, Classification Society Rules, the Premier
Oil documents, and the BWO’s Philosophies, Specifications, Procedures and Working Standards
do not explicitly prescribe codes and standards, recognized industry codes and standards shall
be utilized.
Unless specifically noted otherwise, codes and standards referenced in the Premier Oil Technical
Documents shall be the latest edition at the time of the EFFECTIVE DATE.
9 Integration of the RCP in the Project Schedule

Looking at the overall regulatory compliance and risk exposure model and based upon the review
of the regulations identified in Section 8; BWO will align the project deliverables in the order of
priority to suit the regulatory compliance process.
It is possible that certain documents and reviews may need to be expedited/ prioritised though the
same may not be required from a construction and project completion perspective.
Key milestones for regulatory submissions and expected approval receipt dates shall be included
in the Project Schedule with logic links to the required project deliverables.
Neither statutory Certificates nor Declarations of Compliance/Conformity will be issued on behalf
of Flag State during the FEED phase; hence this is not included in this revision of the Regulatory
Compliance Plan. However, documents will be reviewed internally by BWO and our sub-
contractors for compliance with identified requirements.
The details of all necessary Permits and Consents, and accompanying source UK legislation for
installation and operation of the Catcher FPSO on UKCS is found in the Permits and Consents
Plan /54/.
10 Deviation Permit Request

Type Description
Safety Note Safety Notes highlight matters of concern in generic safety issues, which
inspectors have identified and forewarn sector Duty Holders of potential dangers.
In the main, they deal with hardware-related issues, hazards and controls.
Offshore Information Offshore Information Sheets provide good practice guidance on a range of
Sheets technical issues.
Operations Note Operations notice are intended to advise the offshore industry of new regulatory
requirements, contact points within the Offshore Division for communications
(e.g. accident/incident reporting) and of other Government requirements with
respect to Offshore operations which may have safety implications.
Research Reports Research Reports commissioned by the UK Health and Safety Executive about
topics of interest to the Industry. They represent current thinking and good
practice.

approval comments prior to formal issue will reduce the overall project risk and contribute to a
successful project.
It is proposed that project documentation in the detailed design phase will be handled by the use
of digital drawings and DNV GL e-approval application, or as required by selected Classification
Society.
The Scope of Work consists of approval of all required class and statutory documents as defined
by DNV GL document requirements (Doc.Req).
The work will be documented by approved drawings and approval letters with appropriate
statuses.
