The Noble Denton rules and technical guidelines are developed through
extensive research and development, the know-how and experience of our
engineers and the close feedback of our worldwide network of technical
experts. The rules and guidelines represent the current state of scientific
development and industry practice.

0001/ND - Rev 0 - 22 June 2013 - General Guidelines for Marine

Projects
These guidelines present material that is common to more than one of the
other Noble Denton guidelines for the approval of marine projects and was
previously duplicated.

0009/ND Rev 7 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Elevated Operations of

Jack-Ups
These guidelines will be used by Noble Denton for the assessment of selfelevating platforms in the elevated condition. They address:
General feasibility studies, including optional checks for punchthrough resistance and fatigue; such studies may result in a
Statement of Compliance
Assessment for specific locations; such studies may result in a
Certificate of Approval.
0013/ND Rev 7 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Load-Outs
These guidelines have been developed for the loadout of items including
offshore jackets, SPAR sections, modules, bridges and components from the
shore onto floating or grounded barges and ships.
0015/ND Rev 4 - 22 June 2013 - Concrete Offshore Gravity Structure
Construction and Installation
These guidelines have been developed for the marine aspects of construction,
towage and installation of offshore concrete Gravity Base Structures (GBS)
with a deck. They are intended to be applicable to deep draft structures,
where much of the construction work is carried out afloat, as well as shallower

draft structures where the construction of the GBS can be essentially

completed in dry dock.
0016/ND Rev 7 - 22 June 2013 - Seabed and Sub-seabed Data for
Approvals of Mobile Offshore Units
These guidelines describe the seabed and sub-seabed data required by Noble
Denton to assess the suitability of locations for independent leg and matsupported jack-up units, other mobile units operating on the seabed, and
anchor installation and performance assessments for floating units.
0021/ND Rev 9 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for the Approval of
Towing Vessels
These Guidelines are intended to lead to an approval by Noble Denton for
entry into the Towing Vessel Approvability Scheme. They also provide
guidance for the approval of towing vessels for a specific tow and bollard pull
tests. They do not cover the towage of specific vessels or barges, guidance for
which may be found in 0030/ND.
0027/ND Rev 10 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Marine Lifting &
Lowering Operations
These guidelines have been developed for the design and approval of marine
lifting operations, including subsea installations (but excluding pipelines and
flowlines).
0028/ND Rev 5 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for the Transportation and
Installation of Steel Jackets
These guidelines have been developed for the design and approval of the
transportation and installation of steel offshore jacket structures.
0029/ND Rev 0 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Submarine Pipeline
Installation
This document sets out the Guidelines on which Noble Denton approval of
pipeline installation by laying, pulling or towing, would be based.

0030/ND Rev 5 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Marine

Transportations
These guidelines will be used by Noble Denton for approval of specialised
marine transportations, including:
Cargoes on ships or towed barges
Towage of self-floating marine and oilfield equipment, civil
engineering structures and ships
but are not normally intended to apply to 'standard' cargoes such as
bulk liquids, bulk solids, refrigerated cargoes, vehicles or containers.

0031/ND Rev 1 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Float-over Operations

Installations/Removals
These guidelines have been developed for the float-over installation or
removal of structures onto or from a host structure which may be:
Offshore pre-installed structures, e.g. jackets and concrete units, or
Offshore or inshore floating structures, e.g. TLPs, concrete units and
semi-submersibles.

0032/ND Rev 1 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Moorings

These guidelines will be used by Noble Denton for the approval of moorings,
including:
Offshore catenary or taut leg moorings of mobile offshore units
(MOU)
Offshore catenary or taut leg mooring of floating offshore
installations (FOI)
Inshore mooring of MOUs and FOIs, e.g. for stacking
Temporary mooring of offshore installations in an afloat condition
during construction, installation or decommissioning

Quayside mooring of MOUs and FOIs, e.g. during maintenance or

conversion
Mooring of vessels during loadouts and installation operations.
0035/ND Rev 0 - 22 June 2013 - Guidelines for Offshore Wind Farm
Infrastructure Installation
These guidelines have been developed for the installation of offshore wind
farms of various types. They mainly refer to other Noble Denton guidelines
developed for similar operations, but giving alternatives which may apply to
offshore wind farm installations.
