ABS awarded notation for one of the world’s largest semi-submersible heavy-lift platforms
One of the world’s largest semi-submersible, heavy-lift crane platforms has been awarded the ABS Integrated Software Quality Management (ISQM) notation, recognizing its risk-based approach to critical software control safety systems, according to ABS's release.
Key operational software on the ABS-classed OOS Serooskerke, a 138m-long vessel with hotel capacity for 750 people, has undergone failure mode effects and criticality analysis as well as thorough functional testing.
The vessel’s power management, dynamic positioning, ballast and bilge and loading computer systems have all been evaluated in accordance with the ABS Guide for Integrated Software Quality Management.
Developed in response to industry needs, the ABS ISQM process and notation provides a framework to coordinate and control the way software development, integration and maintenance are managed throughout the life of the equipment.
