Abstract

Det Norske Veritas (DNV), has been in the process of updating its Rules for Marine use for some time now. Regulatory bodies such as the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), and many others, change their requirements from time to time. IMO has introduced a revised code a few years ago. The requirements of these codes/standards and the implications are often very difficult to understand and implement both for the manufacturers and the class societies such as ours. Further, DNV’s Rule requirements need to be understood and acceptable world-wide, if the gas turbine industry, and the maritime industry as a whole is to function in a rational, safe, and profitable manner. This paper is mainly based on DNV Rules of January 1996, Part 4. Chapter 2. Section 4. - Gas Turbines, and is intended to at least open the dialogue between the gas turbine industry and DNV.
