10、Rules(CSR for BC&OT)was developed by IACSbased on the IMO GBS requirement，and updatedversions1are published annually by the continuous work of CSR maintenance team.In addition,several project teams2-5have been established tofocus on hull structural safety issues,includingwhipping on container ships,
11、wave data investigations,etc.Main project teams in IACS Hull Panelare listed in Tab.1.Although the above research results haven t been published now,they will have a significantimpact on marine industry after they have become the unified requirements or recommendations ofIACS.For example,based on th
12、e current PH40 investigations(comparison with directly calculatedresults based on current Rec.34),it can be concluded that for smaller ships the results for the bending moment will on average be in line with the current rule requirements,for larger ships they mightbe higher.This will have an effect
13、on ship structure design criteria.1.2 Development of IMO relevant work in design principleSince 2017,the Maritime Safety Committee(MSC)of IMO has held five sessions6-10,the maintopics of which concern design criteria,including autonomous ships,goal-based new ship construction standards,goal-based st
14、andards safety level approach,polar operation manual,formal safetyassessment,ship design and construction etc.IMO takes the first step to address regulatory scopingexercise(RSE)on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships(MASS),GBS Verification Guideline Revisions,including goal-based Safety Level Approach(
15、SLA),interim guidelines agreed in principleduring MSC 99.During MSC 100,four degrees of autonomy of unmanned MASS in RSE were approved to take into force,and interim guidelines for development and application of the IMO goal-based standards safety level approach was also approved by the Committee11.
16、During MSC 101,therevised generic guidelines for developing IMO goal based standards was approved by the Committee12,the guidance for navigation and communication equipment intended for use on ships operating in polar waters was approved by the Committee,revised guidelines on alternative design and arrangements for SOLAS Chapters II-1 and III and new safe mooring requirements were also adoptedduring MSC 102.The MSC completed RSE for the use of MASS and approved a circular providingthe outcome13.
