On May 10, 2023, the Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport issued the "Technical Rules for Offshore Mobile Platforms (2023)" and the "Inspection Rules for Offshore Mobile Platforms (2023)". The new regulations will be officially implemented on July 1, 2023. , provides a basis for the design, construction, inspection and certification of my country's offshore mobile platforms, and plays an important role in regulating and guiding the development of my country's offshore equipment industry and ensuring the safety of offshore mobile platforms.
It is understood that the "Inspection Rules for Offshore Mobile Platforms (2023)" has 6 chapters, which stipulates the inspection type, inspection scope, inspection items, inspection methods, certificate format, Inspection and certification procedures, etc. The "Technical Regulations for Offshore Mobile Platforms (2023)" has 7 chapters, which stipulates offshore mobile drilling/workover platforms, oil storage platforms, residential platforms, lifting platforms, fishery breeding platforms, pipelaying/cable laying platforms, and mining platforms. technical requirements. Compared with the previous 2016 version, this newly revised rule innovatively adds technical inspection specifications for new equipment such as mobile offshore fishery platforms, breeding vessels, residential platforms, and mining platforms, filling the gaps in relevant technical standards in my country and even the world. Be more adaptable to the development of new industries.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of a maritime power and a transportation power has put forward higher requirements for the development of marine engineering equipment including offshore mobile platforms, and the vigorous development of new marine economic formats There is also an urgent need for revision of technical regulations for offshore mobile platforms. The Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport takes the starting point of serving the construction of a strong transportation and maritime power, is based on safety, fully considers the current status of the industry, focuses on future development, and brings into play the joint efforts of government, industry, academia and research, through commissioned preparation, solicitation of opinions, on-site surveys, expert discussions, etc. The organization has formulated a new version of the rules, which provides the basis and guarantee for the inspection and certification of platforms of various functional types in my country.
