2.1.1 The enhanced survey may be commenced ilt thc fourth annual survey and be progressed during thp SUf( t'pdillg yedr with a vew tu eumpletioll by the fifth annversary date. 2.1.2 As part of the preparation for the enhanced survey, thc thickncss measuremcnt and survcy progranllllP shollld hp d!:'dll wilh in ddvdllU:' uf lbe enhdnced survey.

measurement and testing as deemed necessary, to ensure that the structural intcgrity remains effective. The examination should be sufficient to discover substantial corros ion, signiflcant deformation, fractures, damages or olher slruclural deterinralnn. 2.1.5 AH piping systems within the aboye spaccs should be examined and operationally tested under working conditions to ensure tha! their condition remains satisfactory. 2.1.6 The ~urvey extenl of cornbined ballasl/cargo holrls ~houlrl he f'Valllaled, hased on the records of ballast history and extent of the corrosion-preyention system provided. 2.1.7 The survey extent of ballast tanks converted to void spaces should be specially considered in relation lo Ihf' reqlJirelllenl~ fnr halla ... 1 lanks. 2.2

Dry-dock survey

2.2.1 A survey in dry-dock should be a part of the enhanced survey during periodical survey. There should be a minimum of tvvo inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom during the S-year period of lhe certificate. In all cases, the maximum interval between bottom inspections should not exceed 36 months. 2.2.2 Alternate inspections of the ship's bottom not conducted in conjunction with the enhanced survey during periudilal ~urvey rnay be carried uul wilh lhe ship afloa!. Spf'cial consideration should be given to ships of 15 years of age or over before bcing permittcd to have such inspections. Inspections of the ship afloat should only be carried out when the conditions are satisfactory and the proper equipment <lnd sllitahly qualiiied staff are available. 2.2.3 lf a survcy in dry-dock is not complcted in conjunction with the enhanced survey during periodical survey or if the 36 month maximum interval referred to in 2.2. 1 i~ not complied with, the e argu Ship S<lfety Conslruclion Cerlificalf' ShOllld cease lo he va lid until a survey in dry-dock is complctcd. 2.2.4 However, in order to allow time for transition to the enhanced inspection system, until 6 July 1 ~97, the Administration with a sLlrvey cyele of 4 years or less m<ly C<lrry out dry-dock ... urvey~ s.>par:lely from lhe enhanced inspections during periodical survey. For ships to which this applies, thc cnhanced inspections during periodical survey should be conducted at facilities which possess the capabilities necessary to properIy conduct lhe exarnindlions and le~ling rf'quired, and all other requirements of the enhanced inspection guidclincs should be met. 2.3 Tank

corrosion-prevention system

2.3.1 Where proYided, the condition of the corrmion-prevention sy~tern of balla~l lal1k~ ~hould hf' examined. For hallast tanks, exduding double-bottom tanks, whcrc a coating is found in PUUR. cond!tlon as defined in 1.2.11, and it is not renewed, or where a coating has not been applied, the tanks in question ~hould be eX<lmined <lt annU<l1 inlervals. Whpn such hreakdown oi coating is found in ballast double-bottolYl tanks, or whcrc a coating has not been applicd, the tanks in question may be examined at annual intervals. Thickness measurement should be carried out as considered neces~<lry by the ~urveyor.
2.4

Hatch covers and coamings

2.4;1 A IhOrollgh inspf'ction of the items listed in 3.3 should be carricd out. 2.4.2 Random checking of the satisfactory operation of mechanically operated hatch covers should be made, including: .1 .2 stow<lge <lnd

Thc thickness measurelllenl" may be di~pensed with provided the surveyor is satisficd by the cluse-up examination that there is no structural diminution, and the coaling, where applied, remains cfficicnt. 2.6.3 The surveyor may extend the thickness measurcments as deemf'd Ilect:'s"dry. 2.6.4 For areas in spMe" where cuatings are found to be in GOGO condition as dcfincd in 1.2.11, the extent of thickness measurcments accordjng to annex 2 m.'ly be ~pecially considered by the Administration. 2.6.5 Transverse sectium shuuld be chosen where the largest reductions are suspectcd to occur or arp revealed from deck plating mcasurements.

2.7

Extent of tank pressure testing

2.7.1 AII boundaries of ball.'lsl l.'lnk~, deep tallb and cargo holds used for ballast within the cargo hold length should be pressure-tested. Reprcsentativc tanks fDl" fresh water, fupl nil amllubrication oil should also be pressurf'-lp~lf'd. 2.7.2 Generally, the prcssurc should correspond to a wa.lt'r level to the tup uf hatches for ballastjcargo holas, nr lo the top of air pipes for ballast tanks or fuel tanks.
