NOTATION<br />
R2-S<br />
DESCRIPTION<br />
A <strong>Class</strong>ification notation addressing redundancy arrangements and indicating that a vessel is fitted<br />
with multiple machines and propulsors, and associated steering systems arranged in separate spaces<br />
such that a fire or flood in one space will not effect <strong>the</strong> propulsion machinery in <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r space; and<br />
that <strong>the</strong> arrangements are in accordance with <strong>the</strong> applicable requirements <strong>of</strong> Section 4-3-6 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>ABS</strong><br />
Rules for Building and <strong>Class</strong>ing Steel Vessels. The additional mark + will be added to <strong>the</strong> R2-S<br />
notation to denote that <strong>the</strong> vessel’s propulsion capability is such that, upon a single failure, propulsive<br />
power can be maintained or immediately restored to <strong>the</strong> extent necessary to withstand adverse wea<strong>the</strong>r<br />
conditions without drifting in accordance with 4-3-6/7.1 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Rules. The lack <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mark +<br />
indicates that <strong>the</strong> vessel is not intended to withstand <strong>the</strong> adverse wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions in 4-3-6/7.1, but<br />
can maintain course and maneuverability at a reduced speed under normal expected wea<strong>the</strong>r<br />
conditions in accordance with 4-3-6/7.3 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Rules.<br />
