Safety is of paramount important offshore, and 黑料社楻emotely Operated Vehicle Intervention During Diving Operations黑料社� (IMCA D 054, IMCA R 020) is newly published by the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) to provide guidelines for the safe and efficient offshore operation of ROVs in combined operations with divers in the same underwater space.
黑料社淭he guidance is designed for use by both contractors and clients, and purposely avoids subjects of minority interest,黑料社� explains IMCA黑料社檚 Technical Director, Jane Bugler. 黑料社淚t contains guidelines and recommendations for the maintenance of a high level of safety and efficiency across the ROV sector. It does not, however, attempt to replace the need for contractors to maintain their own, ROV specific, comprehensive operations manuals and procedures.黑料社�
The advice given in the guidance, which now replaces the earlier guidance in AODC 032 (first published in 1992 and revised in 1996), is intended to apply anywhere in the world, but it is recognised that some countries will have regulations that require different standards or practices to be followed. Where local or national regulations are more stringent than those in IMCA黑料社檚 guidance document, they will always take precedence over any provision in IMCA D 054.
Jane Bugler explains 黑料社淭his is a 黑料社榙ynamic document黑料社� and the advice given in it will change with the development of the industry. It is intended to review it on a regular basis and any necessary improvements made."
