This Recommended Practice (RP) replaces the existing Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Fixed Offshore Installations 1989 (amendments 2000) and is applicable to offshore installations engaged in offshore operations including drilling,oil/gas production and storage, accommodation and other support functions.
This RP is applicable to fixed offshore installations/platforms (a structure that is bottom founded and transfers all actions on it to the seabed) and that operate at a fixed geographic location for their entire service life. A typical offshore installation/platform consists of jacket, topside decks, piles and conductors; the RP does not apply to floating facilities to which other LR Rules are applicable.
