MARICULTURE INSTALLATIONS GUIDE DRAWS ON XXXXXX SEVEN DECADES OF xxxx OFFSHORE ENERGY EXPERIENCE Recognizing both humanity’s need for open ocean fish farms and the aquaculture industry’s need for practicable standards validated through experience, ABS converted its decades of offshore energy experience – in fact, ABS produced the world’s first offshore energy construction standards and remains the global leader in that field – and produced its Guide for Building and Classing Offshore Fish Farming Installations. Virtually all of the known types of ocean fish farm design have predecessor technologies developed for offshore and gas use – examples being spars, column stabilized types, ship-shape units and nonbuoyant installations. The Guide provides class requirements for the design, construction, installation and survey of non-self-propelled, sited offshore fish farming installations and addresses such major elements as hull structure, mooring, foundations and onboard equipment not related to the aquaculture systems.
