Hello everyone. I am new to the world of marine engineering and I am looking for help finding the necessary ABS (or equivalent?) standards that govern lift boat drilling rigs. I am responsible for designing a cantilever platform that extends off the boat. This cantilever will have the drill and all required equipment for operation. I included a picture that shows a similar cantilever design.
I have the "LRFD for offshore structures" document which gives info on some of the loads due to the drill, pipe rack, etc. Is there any standards that have loads for winds, ice, ship angle while at sea? Or are these typically given by the vessel designer? Also, are there specific standards I am missing that would cover designing this type of cantilever structure?
Thanks All
