INTRODUCTION

A. SFI-GROUPING SYSTEM

The layout of the following specification is based on the SFI GROUP SYSTEM.
This group system has been deigned primarily to provide shipyards and shipping
companies with a tool for the specification of ships and an estimation of shipbuilding cost.

The classification system is divided into the following Main Groups :

0. General

1. Ship, General

2. Hull

3. Equipment for Cargo

4. Ship Equipment

5. Equipment for Crew and Passengers

6. Machinery Main Components

7. Systems for Machinery Main

8. Ship Common Systems

Each Main Group (m.gp, one digit) is divided into groups (gp, two digits)

Components specified twice or under different sub-groups shall only be delivered once.
