The Rules and Regulations for the Construction and Classification of Ships for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases in Bulk have been prepared to ensure that ships for the carriage of liquefied gases in bulk built with a view to classification with LR, will also comply with the requirements of the IMO International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) as interpreted by LR.
The IGC Code contains requirements for surveys and certification, ship survival capability, location of cargo tanks and fire protection and fire extinction, personnel protection and operational matters which are not within the scope of classification as defined in the Rules for Ships and LR does not require these to be investigated for the purpose of classification. However, these matters are the responsibility of the National Authority or Administration responsible for issuing the International Certificate of Fitness.
