This document specifies requirements and guidance for the installation on and removal from site of independent leg jack-ups for use in the oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy. It addresses the assessment of:the installation operation from when the jack-up enters the defined safety zone of the host platform or the intended site to when it is elevated to the operating hull elevation above LAT and is ready for operations;the removal operation from when the jack-up is ready to jack-down to when it departs the defined safety zone.NOTE 1 Whilst this document is for independent leg jack-ups, many of the provisions can be applied to mat-supported jack-ups.When the jack-up has propulsion assist or is self-propelled, the provisions of this document related to positioning can be replaced or supplemented as appropriate.This document excludes the move of the jack-up between sites and elevated operations, which are covered respectively by IMO/Class and ISO 19905-1.NOTE 2 Whilst this document addresses the installation and removal of a jack-up at a site, RMPs normally include the move of the jack-up between sites (see example RMP in Annex E).
