1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to stipulate acceptance criteria for offshore service vessels that are to
perform services on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The acceptance criteria are defined so that they meet the needs of multiple users, so that the vessel
can be used in sailing pools and rechartered to others without the need for a new approval or
inspection.

1.2 Preface
This document contains the charterer's acceptance criteria for evaluation, inspection and approval of
offshore service vessels.

In general, acceptance criteria are given by identifying which national and international rules,
conventions, guidelines, regulations, codes and standards must be met in order to meet the minimum
requirements for acceptance.

Minimum requirements are verified either through internal evaluation and confirmation from the
shipping company, or through checking and inspection of the vessel.

Certificates must be issued without remarks that restrict operation of the vessel beyond that which has
been agreed in the contract.

References to rules, regulations, codes or standards in this document shall generally be understood to
mean the most recent edition of such documents.

1.3 Scope
The acceptance criteria specified in this document apply to offshore service vessels that carry out
assignments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The acceptance criteria may be used in whole or in
part as appendices to contracts/charter parties between the charterer and the shipping company.

1.4 Definitions
Approved class: Classification society approved by the Norwegian authorities to carry
out checking, inspection and certification of vessels.

Recognized authority: Authority recognized by Norway to issue statutes and regulations, as

well as exercise supervision over vessels and equipment.

Charterer: The company or firm that hires the vessel and enters into a
contract/charter party with the shipping company/managing company.

3. General requirements
3.1 Relationship between Shelf and maritime regulations

Construction, outfitting and operation of offshore service vessels on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
are governed by the requirements in the vessel's flag country, as well as the relevant parts of the
Norwegian Petroleum Directorate's regulations.

The vessel's flag country is responsible for governing and supervising the vessel's maritime safety,
including construction, stability, safety during navigation, safety manning and appurtenant certification.

The flag country requirements are based on international conventions as stipulated in IMO, possibly
with the supplement of additional national requirements.

The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate is responsible for governing and supervising the safety of the
petroleum activities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including operations carried out from vessels,
such as emergency preparedness. Other operations such as anchor-handling, loading/unloading to or
from installations that are not defined as petroleum activities are subject to the regulations of the
maritime authorities.

This means that equipment, systems and procedures for carrying out the vessel's tasks / functions in
the petroleum activities must satisfy the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate's requirements, in addition to
the flag country requirements.

The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate does not normally have requirements related to the marine
safety of the vessel. As regards standby vessels, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate refers to the
Norwegian Maritime Directorate's regulations relating to "Standby Vessels" as the norm.

Vessels registered under foreign flags that are to carry out assignments as standby vessels must have a
"standby certificate in accordance with the Norwegian Maritime Directorate's rules".

3.3 Quality assurance

The shipowner shall have a documented quality assurance system that includes operation of the vessel.
This requirement also applies when chartering vessels from subcontractors.

The quality assurance system shall define relevant QA principles/procedures for all activities linked
with operation of the vessel. Documentation of the QA system shall be made available to the charterer
as needed.

3.4 Verification of requirements and deviations

Before the vessel commences a charter party period, the shipowner shall document that the operational
and technical requirements specified by the charterer have been met.

This can be accomplished by means of the shipowner issuing a report confirming the status of the
vessel in relation to the relevant requirements. The report shall contain an overall evaluation of the
vessel's systems and equipment, technical standard and status of certificates, as well as documentation
of operational and emergency preparedness instructions.

All non-conformities shall be identified and reported to the charterer together with proposals for
corrective measures and a plan for correction.

The charterer is entitled to carry out audits at the shipowner's premises as well as inspections of the
vessel.

4. Requirements for vessels and equipment

4.1 Construction requirements
Construction and hull strength shall be in accordance with the prevailing requirements of classification
companies and the authorities. This must be documented by means of a valid class certificate. Orders
issued by classification societies or authorities must be reported to the charterer, and treated as non-
conformities, if necessary.

4.2 Technical/operational redundancy

No individual error in equipment or procedures shall result in hazard and accident situations that
threaten health, the environment or material values.
