101. General

1. The unit is to be designed to consider the design environmental condition and the design operating condition encountered during transit condition and site-specific conditions.

2. The environmental conditions based on design such as atmosphere, seawater temperature, tides and currents, swells, waves, ice and snow, wind, tsunami, submarine slide, abnormal mixture of air and seawater, humidity, salinity, pack ice, ice collapse etc, the limitation of structure operation and the design loads are specified in submitted drawings for approval.

3. The information in submitted drawings based on environmental conditions such as weather and sea condition in specific site, statistical distribution, forecasting approach, experimental data, data and analysis provided by qualified consultants or design criteria accepted by the society is submitted to the society for reference.

4. The operational limitations of a unit are to be specified by designers. In such cases, the capability

of positioning systems, the operating conditions of regasification systems,

loading, etc. with the combination of winds, waves and currents based on

state data for the specified site of operation are to be taken into account.
