INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES FORM X Notice of Reservations Filed For IACS Unified Requirements as at June 2010 Page 1 UR A1 Equipment A1 1981 A1.2 ABS For ships less than 40 m in length, ABS Rules allow with certain conditions wire ropes in lieu of chains. A1 3/1994 A1.3.1 ABS ABS' requirements for anchoring equipment for tugs of unrestricted service are less than prescribed in UR A1.3.1. UR A2 Shipboard fittings and supporting hull structures associated with towing and mooring on conventional vessels A2 Rev.3A2.1.6 A2.2.6 GL GL reserves the right to lower the SWL to be marked on shipboard mooring fittings by factor 1.5. (SWL GL =SWL A2 /1.5) The reason for GL s reservation is, GL do not support a safety concept utilizing a safety factor of 1.0 for the fittings against the breaking load of the ropes attached to the fittings. This has been raised during discussion in Hull Panel several times without feed back. UR D4 Self-elevating drilling units D4 2/1996D4.4 LR Damage stability requirements are applied in accordance with the requirements of competent national authority. UR D5 Column stabilized drilling units D5 Rev.3 1996D5.6 LR Damage stability requirements are applied in accordance with the requirements of competent national authority. UR D6 Surface type drilling units D6 1979D6.4 LR Damage stability requirements are applied in accordance with the requirements of competent national authority. UR E7 Cables E7 Rev.3 May 2006 2 DNV Partly implemented. The following IEC standards is not referred: 60092-373, 60092-374 (as these standards are beyond our scope)

Page 2 E7 Rev.3 May 2006 3 RS RS reserves its position on acceptance of cables other than those specified in item 2 of UR E7. These cables will be subject to special consideration by RS in each particular case. Rationale: RS Rules requires that cables should have RS type approval. UR E10 Test Specification for Type Approval E10 4/May 200410.1 ABS Not applied to all internal communication equipment as listed in 10.1. UR E11 Unified requirements for systems with voltages above 1kV up to 15kV E11 Rev.2 July 200311 1.3 LR HV-LV segregation limited to electric cables E11 Rev.2 July 200311 2.2.2 LR Specific IP rating mentioned in the UR are not included in LR Rule.

E13 Rev.1 May 2001 E13/3 Table 1 IRS Overspeed tests for generators and motors are not considered necessary during routine testing, also these are difficult to put in practice due to reluctance from manufacturers. As far as type tests are concerned, overspeed test is included in IRS Rules. UR E20 Installation of electrical and electronic equipment in engine rooms protected by fixed water-based local application fire-fighting systems (FWBLAFFS) E20 Rev 1 June 2009 E20 DNV Partly implemented. The requirement is applicable for Installation of electrical and electronic equipment in engine rooms protected by fixed water based local application fire fighting systems oprtating with salt water systems only. We consider the intention with teh requirement is fullfilled.

Page 3 UR F2 Aluminium Coatings on Board Oil Tankers and Chemical Tankers F2 1/1998F2 ABS ABS is not convinced that the restrictions on use of aluminium coatings/aluminized pipe are justified by the perceived hazards. ABS doing research on the matter. UR F9 Lighting and sighting ports in pump room/engine room bulkheads F9 1971F.R LR The use of lightening and sighting ports is now obsolete in our experience. UR F26 Safety aspects of Double Bottoms and Duct Keels under Cargo Oil Tanks F26 Rev 3 May F26 BV BV considers that the revision 3 (concerns the note) is independent from 2004 UR and not included in their Rules as it is. UR G3 Liquefied Gas Cargo and Process Piping G3 Rev.3 Dec 2008 G3.6 Cargo Corr 1 Dec 2009 Pumps DNV Partly implemented. Ref. is given to IACS meeting in Feb. 2010, where amendments to this clause were discussed. Awaiting new 2010 rev/corr to G3 UR I2 Structural Requirements for Polar Class Ships I2 Rev.1I2.13 GL GL reserves its position to perform buckling strength calculations on the basis of DIN 18800 UR K3 Keyless fitting of propellers without ice strengthening K3 Corr.2 JuneAll DNV Full Reservation on existing K3. 1998 The proposed planned revision 5 of the IACS working group was implemented in the DNV Rules in January 2006. UR M2 Alarm Devices of Internal Combustion Engines M2 1971M2 ABS ABS Rules only require plan review and survey of engines of 100 kw and over. Therefore ABS does not implement this UR for engines in the range 37 to 100 kw. UR M3 Speed governor and overspeed protective device M3 Rev.5 Feb 06 2.3 DNV Partly implemented 3 steps in lieu of 2

Page 4 UR M5 Mass production of internal combustion engines, procedure for inspection M5 Rev.1/1987M5.1 ABS ABS does not not limit its application of UR M5 for mass production of internal combustion engines to those having cylinder bore not exceeding 300 mm. M5 Rev. 1 1987 All DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements. M5 Rev.1/1987M5.1 NK NK admits to apply UR M5 for mass production of internal combustion engines having cylinder bore not exceeding 320mm. UR M6 Test pressures for parts of internal combustion engines M6 Rev.3 May 1998 All DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements UR M14 Mass production of internal combustion engines: definition of mass production M14 1973All DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements. UR M18 Parts of internal combustion engines for which material tests are required M18 1972M18.3 ABS For repair of IC engines with bores 300mm or less, ABS does not insist on certification of connecting rods. M18 Rev.4 Jun 2000 All DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements M18 Rev.4 Jun 2000 F.R LR LR intend to amend and alighn its reference documents (rules etc) with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements. UR M19 Parts of internal combustion engines for which nondestructive tests are required M19 1974All DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements. UR M21 Mass production of internal combustion engines: type test conditions

Page 5 M21 1974, Corr. SeptAll 2003 DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements. UR M23 Mass production of engines: Mass Produced Exhaust Driven Turbochargers M23 Rev. 3 1991 All DNV Full reservation. DNV plans to amend and align its reference documents (rules, etc.) in line with the outcome from the IACS Project Team established to review the relevant requirements. M23 Rev.3 1991M23.1 RINA This UR is applied by RINA to turbochargers fitted on diesel engines having a power of 1000 kw and above. For the others turbochargers (i.e. fitted on diesel engines having a power less than 1000 kw) RINA requires they are delivered with the works' certificate relevant to the bench running test and the hydrostatic test. UR M32 Definition of diesel engine type M32 1979Note 1 DNV Partly implemented. DNV practices this requirement with the exception of Note 1, the conditions alter slightly as well as we use other parameters than power, namely cylinder pressure and speed. UR M34 Scantlings of coupling flanges M34 1980All DNV Full reservation. - M34.1: DNV uses combined stress criteria with credit for friction torque instead of the UR diameter formulae. - M34.3: DNV rules deviate when r/d>0.08 - M34.4: DNV rules have no direct restriction to r/d, but shaft calculations will tend to limit this ratio. UR M35 Alarms, remote indications and safeguards for main reciprocating I.C. engines installed in unattended machinery spaces M35 Rev.4 1999Table 1 Item 6 Table 1 Item 8 Table 2 Item 2 DNV Partly introduced. The DNV rules are basically in line with UR M35, however deviate in some respect: - Table 1 Item 6 "Oily contamination of engine cooling water system" - Table 1 Item 8 "Scavenge air system"; DNV rules does not require scavenge air receiver water level - Table 2 Item 2 "Oil mist concentration in crankcase"; DNV rules accept also alternatives to the oil mist detector UR M44 Documents for the approval of diesel engines

Page 6 M44 Rev.7 May 2004 Item 22 Item 27 DNV Partly Implemented - Item 22: Material specifications of main parts with information on NDT and pressure tests. DNV rules request this, but in general for information only, not for approval. NDT is required for approval only for crankshafts and connecting rods. - Item 27: Cooling water system. DNV rules request this, but for information only, not for approval. Reduced extent for cylinder bores less than 150 mm. UR M51 Programme for trials of i.c. engines to assess operational capability M51 1987M51.2.1.3b ABS Test at 110% power for 30 minutes is not in ABS Rules. M51 1987M51.2.2 ABS This paragraph for special operating conditions is not in the ABS Rules. M51 Rev.2 Jul 2003 1.1 2.1 DNV Partly Implemented - 1.1: 25% test is taken out in the DNV rules. - 2.1: Reduced testing hours in DNV rules for small main engines. - 2.1: For aux. engines, DNV rules specify test time 1 hour, while IACS require 4 hours. UR M52 Length of aft stern bush bearing M52 19862 DNV Partly implemented. DNV rules do not indicate any direct lower limit for bearing length. This length however, will be limited by load and damping characteristics with respect to whirling. UR M56 Marine Gears - Load Capacity of Involute Parallel Axis Spur and Helical Gears M56 Rev.1 1994All DNV Partly implemented. Corr 1996 DNV use and accept alternative criteria for calculation of gears. Very much in line with recognised international standards. DNV has implemented updates from ISO 6336 which is the source for both M56 and DNV. M56 has not been updated accordingly. M56 Rev.1 1994/ M56.1.2 RINA RINA does not consider design approval of gears having rating less than Corr. 1996 220 kw for main propulsion or 110 kw for essential service auxiliaries necessary, taking into account that they are mass produced according to standardized design criteria widely experienced in service and built by specialized manufacturers. RINA, in any case, requires factory acceptance tests and sea trials to be performed for gears intended for main propulsion and essential auxiliaries. UR M58 Charge air coolers M58 1994All DNV Full reservation. DNV rules do not request works material certificates, and accept hydraulic testing to be carried out at maximum working pressure only. UR M59 Control and safety systems for dual fuel diesel engines

Page 7 M59 19963.1, 3.2 (1) and (2), 4.1, 8.1, 9.1.2.c DNV Partly implemented. UR M59 has been partly implemented in the DNV rules, do however not specifically list all requirements stated in the UR. (This applies to UR item nos. M59.3.1, 59.3.2 (1) and (2), 59.4.1, 59.8.1 and 59.9.1.2.c.) M59 will continue to be evaluated in machinery panel. UR M60 Control and Safety of Gas Turbines for Marine Propulsion Use M60 May 19971.1, 1.2, 2.2 DNV Partly implemented. The DNV rules deviate slightly from IACS UR M60 concerning monitoring requirements as follows: - Ref. UR M60.1.1.DNV rules do not require a specific maximum overspeed limit of 15%. DNV requirements are related to preventing the turbine speed from exceeding the maximum permissible speed as defined by the Manufacturer. - Ref. UR M60.1.2. DNV do not require separate speed governors for speed control and over speed protection. However, the control system must be capable of controlling the speed due to sudden turbine load drop without activating the over speed shut down function. - Ref. UR M60.2.2. DNV rules request step to idle (not shut down ) for h) excessive high vacuum pressure at compressor inlet. DNV rules have no action requirements related to exhaust temperature. DNV does not require automatic shut down due to item e) excessive axial displacement. DNV only require that applications which may experience thrust load directional variations must be provided with an axial proximity probe in the high speed driven string. At the next rule revision DNV will implement a requirement for alarm in case of changed thrust load direction. DNV considers this to provide the highest vessel safety level, as shutdowns not strictly needed are detrimental to vessel safety. - Ref. UR M60.3, table 1. DNV rules do not request alarm for oil fuel temperature and oil fuel supply pressure. At the next rule revision DNV will implement a requirement for alarm related to low oil fuel temperature. This to be applicable for turbines running on oil fuels where oil fuel heaters are required to avoid viscosity problems. UR M62 Rooms for emergency fire pumps in cargo ships M62 Feb 2002 ABS The UR cannot be uniformly implemented until "adequately" is quantified and therefore is not being implemented by ABS at this time. UR P2 Rules for Piping Design, Construction and Testing P2 1/1987 & P2.5.5.5 Corr.Nov 2001& Table 4 ABS Post weld heat treatment for oxyacetylene welding is not in ABS Rules. UR P2.3: Rules for piping design, construction and testing, Materials P2.3 Rev.12.3.1 Nov 20012.3.4 LR UR requirements are general and limit 400 degree C for carbon and carbon manganese stell pipes. LR are more detailed and linit 400 degree C for rimming steel. Design tempereture is common, no mention of vibration or shock. The upper pressure limit in the UR is not given by LR nor is the prohibition from manifold use.

UR P2.6: Rules for Piping design, construction and testing- Non-destructive testing of weldes and acceptance criteria P2.6 19871.1.1.2 LR LR do not specify a minimum of 10% or the type of testing UR P6 Shell Type Exhaust Gas Heated Economizers that may be isolated from the steam plant system P6 May 2005P6.3.2 P6.3.3 P6.3.3.1 P6.3.4 ABS The ABS technical committee considers that the requirements go beyond the recommendations of the MAIB and would impose unwarranted technical design changes on safety valve manufacturers. P6 May 2005P6.3.2 P6.3.3 P6.3.3.1 P6.3.4 RINA No sufficient experience is available on construction and installation of special design safety valves and bursting discs. UR S4 Criteria for the use of high tensile steel with minimum yield Stress of 315 N/mm 2, 355 N/mm 2 and 390 N/mm 2 S4 Rev.2 Apr 2007 S4 ABS ABS reserves against the k-factor for steel with a yield point of 390 N/mm2 for the longitudinal strength calculation of Container Carriers with plate thickness greater than 51mm when additional special analyses are applied. S4 Rev.2 Apr 2007 S4 DNV Partly implemented DNV reserves against application of the k-factor for steel with minimum yield stress = 390 N/mm2 for ships with DNV class notation Container Carrier provided that a fatigue assessment is performed. S4 Rev.2S4 GL GL reservation against the k-factor for steel with a yield point of 390 N/mm (2008) S4 Rev.2 (AprS4 LR LR reserves against the k-factor for steel with a minimum yield stress of 2007) 390 N/mm2 for application on container ships with plate thickness greater than 50mm when additional fatigue analysis is carried out. UR S6 Use of steel grades for various hull members - ships of 90m in length and above S6 2/1996S6.2 & 6.3 ABS Until further experience is gained, service temperatures cooler than -40 deg.c will be in the Rules as guidance. Design temperatures for internal (non-exposed) members in the current ABS Rules is being retained pending unification of polar ship requirements.

Page 9 S6 2/19966.2, 6.3 RS RS has implemented UR S6 with regard to item 6.1 only. National 3/May 2002 4/July 2003 5/Sept 2007 requirements similar to S6.2 have been implemented in RS Rules. UR S7 Minimum Longitudinal Strength Standards S7 3/1989S7.1 RS With respect to item 7.1, RS uses different criteria for ships in service for calculating minimum longitudinal strength standards. This reservation however does not apply to tankers with length over 130 m. UR S10 Rudders, sole pieces and rudder horns S10 Rev.1 1990S10.8.3 GL For self-lubricating gearings, clearances less than 1.5 mm on diameter may be accepted on the basis of the manufacturer s specification. S10 Rev.1 1990 RS Partially implemented, but rudder strength calculation method in RS Corr.July 2003 Rules is more detailed and universal. UR S11 Longitudinal Strength Standard S11 Rev.1 1993S11.5 ABS For certain type/size ships, ABS accepts alternate approach involving ultimate strength assessment. S11 Rev.1 1993S11.5 BV Buckling strength has not been implemented. Equivalent criteria have been introduced to be coherent with other parts of BV Rules with regard to loads and corrosion margins. S11 Rev.5 Jan 2006 S11.5 GL GL reserves its position to perform buckling strength calculations on the basis of DIN 18800. S11 Rev.5 Jan 2006 S11.5 NK Structural members subject to hull girder bending and shear stress applying in S11.5.1 for buckling strength have partly been applied in NK rules but all longitudinal members have not been applied. S11 Rev.1 1993S11 RINA This UR S11 is substantially applied. In the Rules for the classification of ships effective from 1st June 2000, the UR formulation has been modified to make it consistent with the general rule criteria, however without significant modifications to the final results. UR S14 Testing Procedures of Watertight Compartments S14 Rev.2 May 2001 S14.3 NK NK has partly implemented this UR because some requirements which are considered impracticable still remain in S14.3. UR S17 Longitudinal strength of hull girder in flooded condition for single side skin bulk carriers S17 1/1997S17.5 ABS This paragraph requires that permissible axial buckling stress meet S11. This is being adhered to for deck and bottom plating. When this is applied to a Panamax bulk carrier, 14.5 mm topside tank bottom plating had to be increased to 17 mm. We do not think this was / is the intent of S17 and are applying axial stress check only to the deck and bottom structures and request that UR be changed to clarify its applicability.

Page 10 S17 Rev.7 Feb 2006 S17.5 GL GL reserves its position to perform buckling strength calculations on the basis of DIN 18800. UR S21 Evaluation of Scantlings of Hatch Covers and Hatch Coamings of Cargo Holds of Bulk Carriers, Ore Carriers and Combination Carriers (Rev.4) S21 Rev.4 Jul 04/ S21.3.6 GL GL reserves its position to perform buckling strength calculations on the Corr.1 Oct 04 basis of DIN 18800. UR S26 Strength and securing of small hatches on the exposed fore deck S26 Rev.3 Aug 06 1.4 DNV Partly implemented. The requirement will not be retroactively implemented for all ships. S26 Rev.3 Aug 06 S26.3.2 NK For ships which will be less than 10 years of age on 1 January 2004, NK accepts postponement to the date of the first scheduled intermediate or special survey after that date in such a case where an intermediate or special survey of the ship is not scheduled between 1 January 2004 and the date on which the ship reaches 10 years of age. It is same as the due date for ships, which will be 10 years of age or more on 1 January 2004. Because it is impracticable for ships in question to implement this clause of the UR UR S27 Strength requirements for fore deck fittings and equipment S27 Rev.4 Nov 04S27.3.2 NK Same as the reservation of UR S26.3.2.
