ACTION LIST

The action list was completed and updated (see Annex A)

Project status

USA Activities (Wood)

Harvest is almost through with issue of the Ship Aps.

ISE had a demonstration in April 03 of STEP/XML covering 227, 216 & 218 ISPE & Plib

ISPE Integrated Steel processing Environment – Phase 0 complete, Phase 2 award pending. This was for Plate only

Proposal submitted for ISE continuation covering HVAC, Electrical, Analysis and common parts catalogue.

EMSA

The EMSA Technical Committee will meet this week in conjunction with T23

Still need to develop testing criterion, NAPA, DNV and GL have applied

EMSA has a new member in the form of the Marine Research & development department of St Petersburg University.

K –STEP

K-STEP has finished the test case work on APs 215, 218, 216. This has been distributed on CD ROM at the meeting and will be put up on the EMSA web site.

The project will continue until 2007 and AIM data will be generated see Annex C

JMSA

JMSA have reviewed AP227 and submitted some comments. Additionally they have been doing some test case work based on the old 226 activity.

AP227

The Edition 2 DIS ballot closes today but Bert is still collecting comments. Most of the preliminary issues have already been resolved in previous workshops. T23 have provided significant input to the activity in the area of Ship Mechanical Systems. There will be a workshop in Charleston in July for final review.

SEDS

No action other than the two (for AP216 as a result of changes to AP218) that have already been issued.

T23 Plan

The T23 plan was updated. See Annex D for details.

Modularisation

The general consensus of the team was, that at this time (After ship APs are at IS Status) it would be inappropriate to start work on modularisation. This could be seen as continued development and adversely effect the take-up on the standards. However it was felt that mapping the ship APs to the PDM schema would be worthwhile since there is considerable implementation support for the PDM schema. Additionally it will be necessary for complete interoperability with PLCS.

In preparation for this, presentations by AP233 and PLCS (AP239) will be arranged at the next meeting in Poitiers.

Furthermore it was felt that implementation is key to the future and we could then go forward with actual usage information and practical experience of applying the APs.

AP227 Ed 2

Tim Turner gave a presentation on the SMS aspects of AP227 Ed 2 (See Annex E)

There 5 Key Entities:

Mechanical Component
