some design aspects.
3. Scope
These Rules summarize relevant BKI Rules (and also the Code of Safety for Special Purpose Ships, 2008)
which can be used for the Classification of naval and non-naval Patrol Boats in an optimized way which is
tailor-made for the size and intended mission of the Boats.
To achieve a quick overview of the Rules to be applied in each case a series of schedules has been
established for the major Classification requirements.
In order to be able to estimate the scope of Classification and Services requested from BKI general
information and project data are summarized in C.
4. Equivalence

provided that their structures or equipment are found to be equivalent to the BKI requirements for this
Class of vessels.
5. Statutory rules and regulations
National rules and regulations, adopted by the respective flag state or Naval Authority, will as a matter of
principle not be affected by the BKI Rules for Classification and Construction. However, various
requirements stipulated by international conventions are taken into account to some extent by BKI Rules.
B. Definitions A-B
1. General
1.1 Patrol Boat
A patrol boat is a small naval, coast guard or police vessel, smaller in size than a corvette, commonly
engaged in various border protection roles, including anti-smuggling, anti-terrorist, anti-piracy, fishery
patrols and immigration law enforcement. It is also often used for rescue operations and can be diversified
in smaller Inshore Patrol Vessels and larger Offshore Patrol Vessels.
In general Patrol Boats are classed N100 PATROL BOAT,A100 PATROL BOAT orA100 PATROL; please refer
to Section 2.
1.2 High speed craft
1.2.1 High speed craft according to the International Code of Safety, 2000 (HSC-Code) are passenger
and cargo craft which do not proceed in the course of their voyage more than 4 hours at operational speed
from a place of refuge (8 hours for more than 500 gross tonnage) and are capable of a maximum speed of
at least:
vmax = 3,7 ∙ 0,1667 [m/s]
 = displacement volume at design water line [m³]

Pt 3 Special Ships
Sec 1 General Requirements and Guidance B
Craft the hull of which is supported completely clear above water surface in non-displacement mode by
aerodynamic forces generated by ground effect are excluded. The Code does originally not apply to craft
of war and troop craft.
1.2.2 BKI uses its extended Classification Rules for High Speed Craft (Pt.3, Vol.III). These Rules contain
a series of comments which cover important additional aspects. For the Patrol Boats considered in these
Rules in any way further measures are to be discussed and agreed with BKI.
1.3 Yachts ≥ 24 m
Motor yachts with a length L ≥ 24 m according to the BKI Rules for Yachts (Pt.3, Vol.IX) are designed for
private, recreational use provided that the yacht classed and approved is at all times employed exclusively
under the conditions for which it has been designed, is equipped and handled in the sense of good
seamanship and operated at a speed adapted to the respective seaway condition.
For applying these Rules to Patrol Boats certain add-on factors are to be considered.
1.4 Small Vessel up to 24 m
These BKI Rules for Small Vessel up to 24 m (Pt.3, Vol.VII) apply to primarily pleasure craft of length L from
6 to 24 m and provided that the pleasure craft classed and approved in accordance therewith are at all
times employed exclusively under the conditions for which they have been designed, constructed and
approved and that they are in the sense of good seamanship correctly handled and equipped and operated
at a speed adopted to the respective seaway conditions.
For applying these Rules to Patrol Boats certain add-on factors are to be considered.
1.5 Non-crew persons
