TYPES OF SURVEY
The types of survey used in the harmonized system are as follows:
(I)
2.1 An initial survey is a complete inspection before a ship is put into service of all the items
relating to a particular certificate, to ensure that the relevant requirements are complied with and
that these items are satisfactory for the service for which the ship is intended.
The initial survey, should be held before the ship is put in service, or when a new instrument applies
to an existing ship, and the appropriate certificate is issued for the first time.
The initial survey should include a complete inspection, with tests when necessary, of the structure,
machinery and equipment to ensure that the requirements relevant to the particular certificate are
complied with and that the structure, machinery and equipment are fit for the service for which the
ship is intended.
(P)
2.2 A periodical survey is an inspection of the items relating to the particular certificate to ensure
that they are in a satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which the ship is intended.
The periodical survey, should be held within three months before or after the second anniversary
date or within three months before or after the third anniversary date in the case of the cargo ship
safety equipment certificate and should take the place of one of the annual surveys and within three
months before or after each anniversary date in the case of the cargo ship safety radio certificate.
The periodical survey should consist of an inspection, with tests when necessary, of the equipment
to ensure that requirements relevant to the particular certificate are complied with and that they are
in a satisfactory condition and are fit for the service for which the ship is intended.
The periodical survey should also consist of a check that all the certificates, record books, operating
manuals and other instructions and documentation specified in the requirements relevant to the
particular certificate are on board the ship.
(R)
2.3 A renewal survey is the same as a periodical survey but also leads to the issue of a new
certificate.
The renewal survey, should be held before the appropriate certificate is renewed.
The renewal survey should consist of an inspection, with tests when necessary, of the structure,
machinery and equipment to ensure that the requirements relevant to the particular certificate are
complied with and that they are in a satisfactory condition and are fit for the service for which the
ship is intended.
The renewal survey should also consist of a check that all the certificates, record books, operating
manuals and other instructions and documentation specified in the requirements relevant to the
particular certificate are on board the ship.
(In)
2.4 An intermediate survey is an inspection of specified items relevant to the particular certificate to
ensure that they are in a satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which the ship is intended.
The intermediate survey, should be held within three months before or after the second anniversary
date or within three months before or after the third anniversary date of the appropriate certificate
and should take the place of one of the annual surveys.
The intermediate survey should be an inspection of items relevant to the particular certificate to
ensure that they are in a satisfactory condition and are fit for the service for which the ship is
intended.
When specifying items of hull and machinery for detailed examination, due account should be taken
of any continuous survey schemes that may be applied by classification societies.

(A)
2.5 An annual survey is a general inspection of the items relating to the particular certificate to
ensure that they have been maintained and remain satisfactory for the service for which the ship is
intended.
The annual survey, should be held within three months before or after each anniversary date of the
certificate.
An annual survey should enable the Administration to verify that the condition of the ship, its
machinery and equipment is being maintained in accordance with the relevant requirements.
(B)
2.6 An inspection of the outside of the ship's bottom is an inspection of the underwater part of the
ship and related items to ensure that they are in a satisfactory condition and fit for the service for
which the ship is intended.
There should be a minimum of two inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom during any five
year period, except where SOLAS 74/88, regulation I/14(e) or (f) is applicable.
One such inspection should be carried out on or after the fourth annual survey in conjunction with
the renewal of the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate or the Cargo Ship Safety Certificate.
Where the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate or the Cargo Ship Safety Certificate has been
extended under SOLAS 74/88, regulation I/14(e) or (f), this five-year period may be extended to
coincide with the validity of the certificate.
In all cases the interval between any two such inspections should not exceed 36 months.
The inspection of the outside of the ship's bottom and the survey of related items should include an
inspection to ensure that they are in a satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which the ship
is intended.
Inspections of outside of the ship's bottom should normally be carried out with the ship in dry dock.
However, consideration may be given to alternate inspections being carried out with the ship afloat.
Special consideration should be given before ships of 15 years of age and over other than bulk
carriers and oil tankers are permitted to have such surveys afloat. Inspection of the outside of the
ship's bottom of bulk carriers and oil tankers of 15 years of age and over should be carried out with
the ship in dry dock.
Inspections with the ship afloat should only be carried out when the conditions are satisfactory and
the proper equipment and suitably trained staff is available.
For ships subject to enhanced survey, the provisions of paragraph 2.2.22 of Annex A or B, as
applicable, of resolution A.744 (18), as amended, should apply.
Where an inspection of the ships bottom has not been carried out before the due dates reference
should be made to 5.6.
(5.6 Revalidation of certificates - A certificate ceases to be valid if the periodical, intermediate or
annual survey, as appropriate, or the inspection of the outside of the ship's bottom is not completed
within the periods specified in the relevant regulation or article. The validity of the certificate
should be restored by carrying out the appropriate survey which, in such circumstances, should
consist of the requirements of the survey that was not carried out, but its thoroughness and
stringency should have regard to the time this survey was allowed to lapse. The
Administration concerned should then ascertain why the survey was allowed to lapse and consider
further action.)
(Ad)
2.7 An additional survey is an inspection, either general or partial according to the circumstances, to
be made after a repair resulting from investigations or whenever any important repairs or renewals
are made.
ASM ORALS
Page 63
NITIN MAHAJAN
ASM ORALS
Page 64
NITIN MAHAJAN
Whenever an accident occurs to a ship or a defect is discovered which affects the safety or integrity
of the ship or the efficiency or completeness of its equipment, the master or owner should make a
report at the earliest opportunity to the Administration, the nominated surveyor or recognized
organization responsible for issuing the relevant certificate. The Administration, the nominated
surveyor or recognized organization responsible for issuing the relevant certificate should then
initiate an investigation to determine whether a survey, as required by the regulations applicable to
the particular certificate, is necessary. This additional survey, which may be general or partial
according to the circumstances, should be such as to ensure that the repairs and any renewals have
been effectively made and that the ship and its equipment continue to be fit for the service for which
the ship is intended.
"Short voyage" means a voyage where neither the distance from the port in which the voyage
begins and the final port of destination nor the return voyage exceeds 1,000 miles.
Any five-year period is the five-year period of validity of the Cargo Ship Safety Construction
Certificate or the Cargo Ship Safety Certificate.
5.8 Surveys required after transfer of the ship to the flag of another State
The certificates cease to be valid when a ship transfers to the flag of another State and it is required
that the Government of the State to which the ship transfers should not issue new certificates until it
is fully satisfied that the ship is being properly maintained and that there have been no unauthorized
changes made to the structure, machinery and equipment.
When so requested, the Government of the State whose flag the ship was formerly entitled to fly is
obliged to forward, as soon as possible, to the new Administration copies of certificates carried by
the ship before the transfer and, if available, copies of the relevant survey reports and records, such
as record of safety equipment and conditions of assignment for load line.
When fully satisfied by an inspection that the ship is being properly maintained and that there have
been no unauthorized changes, in order to maintain the harmonization of the surveys the new
Administration may give due recognition to initial and subsequent surveys carried out by, or on
behalf of, the former Administration and issue new certificates having the same expiry date as the
certificates that ceased to be valid because of the change of flag.
5.10 Inspection of the outside of a passenger ship's bottom
5.10.1 A minimum of two of the inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom during any five-year
period should be conducted in dry-dock. In all cases, the maximum interval between any two drydock bottom inspections should not exceed 36 months.
5.10.2 Where acceptable to the Administration, the minimum number of inspections in dry-dock of
the outside of the bottom of a passenger ship (which is not a ro-ro passenger ship) in any five-year
period may be reduced from two to one. In such cases the intervals between consecutive inspections
in dry-dock should not exceed 60 months.
Note: The definition of "any five-year period" is the five-year period of validity of the International
Load Line Certificate.
5.10.3 Inspections of the ship's bottom required for the renewal survey that are not conducted in
dry-dock may be carried out with the ship afloat. The bottom inspection, regardless of method,
should be carried out within the allowable time window for the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate
renewal survey (i.e. within the 3 months time window before the expiry date of the certificate).
Additionally, inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom conducted afloat should only be carried
ASM ORALS
Page 64
NITIN MAHAJAN
ASM ORALS
Page 65
NITIN MAHAJAN
out when the conditions are satisfactory and the proper equipment and suitably qualified staff is
available. Rudder bearing clearances specified in (PR) 5.2.2.1 need not be taken at afloat inspections
5.10.4 Special consideration should be given to ships 15 years of age or over before being permitted
to credit inspections afloat.
5.10.5 If a survey in dry-dock is not completed within the maximum intervals referred to above, the
Passenger Ship Safety Certificate should cease to be valid until the survey in dry-dock is completed.
5.11 Survey of radio installations
The survey of the radio installations, including those used in life-saving appliances, should always
be carried out by a qualified radio surveyor who has necessary knowledge of the requirements of
SOLAS 1974, the International Telecommunication Union's Radio Regulations and the associated
performance standards for radio equipment. The radio survey should be carried out using suitable
test equipment capable of performing all the relevant measurements required by these guidelines.
On satisfactory completion of the survey, the radio surveyor should forward a report of the survey,
which should also state the organization he represents, to the authorities responsible for the issue of
the ship's Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate or Passenger Ship Safety Certificate.
5.12 Survey of the automatic identification system (AIS)
The survey of the automatic identification system should always be carried out by a qualified radio
surveyor who has necessary knowledge of the requirements of SOLAS 1974, the International
Telecommunication Union's Radio Regulations and the associated performance standards for radio
equipment. The survey of the automatic identification system should be carried out using suitable
test equipment capable of performing all the relevant measurements required by and in accordance
with the Guidelines on annual testing of the AIS. (MSC.1/Circ.1252).

Overall survey is a survey intended to report on the overall condition of the hull structure and
determine the extent of additional close-up surveys.
Close-up survey is a survey where the details of structural components are within the close visual
inspection range of the surveyor, i.e. normally within reach of hand.
Suspect areas are locations showing substantial corrosion and/or are considered by the surveyor to
be prone to rapid wastage.
Transverse section is the cross section of the hull perpendicular to the ship's centreline and includes
all longitudinal members such as plating, longitudinals and girders at the deck, side and bottom,
inner bottom and hopper side plating, longitudinal bulkheads, and bottom plating in top wing tanks.
Representative spaces are those which are expected to reflect the condition of other spaces of
similar type and service and with similar corrosion prevention systems. When selecting
representative spaces account should be taken of the service and repair history on board and
identifiable critical and/or suspect areas.
Suspect areas are locations showing substantial corrosion and/or are considered by the surveyor to
be prone to rapid wastage.
Substantial corrosion is an extent of corrosion such that assessment of corrosion pattern indicates
wastage in excess of 75 per cent of allowable margins, but within acceptable limits. For ships built
under the IACS Common Structural Rules, substantial corrosion is an extent of corrosion such that
the assessment of the corrosion pattern indicates a gauged (or measured) thickness between tnet +
0.5 mm and tnet.
A corrosion prevention system is normally considered a full hard protective coating.
Hard protective coating should usually be epoxy coating or equivalent. Other coating systems,
which are neither soft nor semi-hard coatings, may be considered acceptable as alternatives
provided that they are applied and maintained in compliance with the manufacturer's specifications.
Coating condition is defined as follows:
GOOD condition with only minor spot rusting;
FAIR condition with local breakdown of coating at edges of stiffeners and weld connections and/or
light rusting over 20 per cent or more of areas under consideration, but less than as defined for
POOR condition; and
POOR condition with general breakdown of coating over 20 per cent or more
Critical structural areas are locations which have been identified from calculations to require
monitoring or from the service history of the subject ship or from similar or sister ships to be
sensitive to cracking, buckling or corrosion which would impair the structural integrity of the ship.
A prompt and thorough repair is a permanent repair completed at the time of survey to the
satisfaction of the surveyor, therein removing the need for the imposition of any associated
condition of classification or recommendation.

The harmonized system provides for:
1. A one-year standard interval between surveys based on initial, annual, intermediate, periodical and
renewal surveys as appropriate;
2. A scheme for providing the necessary flexibility for the execution of each survey with the provision
that the renewal survey may be completed within three months before the expiry date of the
existing certificate with no loss of its period of validity;
3. A maximum period of validity of five years for all certificates for cargo ships;
4. A maximum period of validity of 12 months for the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate;
5. A system for the extension of certificates limited to three months to enable a ship to complete its
voyage (or one month for ships engaged on short voyages);

6. When an extension has been granted, the period of validity of the new certificate is to start from the
expiry date of the existing certificate before its extension.
The main changes to the SOLAS and Load Lines Conventions are that annual inspections have been
made mandatory for cargo ships and unscheduled inspections have been discontinued. Other changes
refer to survey intervals and requirements.

When a survey results in the identification of significant corrosion or of significant structural defects
which, in the opinion of the surveyor, will impair the structural integrity of the ship, then remedial
action, in consultation with the Administration should be agreed and implemented before the ship
continues in service.
2. Chapter 2 deals with the enhanced survey carried out during the periodical survey.

testing.
3. Chapter 3 talks about the enhanced survey carried out during the annual survey, for the purpose of
ensuring, as far as practicable, that the hull, hatch covers, coamings and piping are maintained in a
satisfactory condition.
It also includes provisions on the examination of cargo holds and ballast tanks.
4. Chapter 4 talks about the intermediate enhanced survey, concerning those items which are additional to
the requirements of the annual survey and may be surveyed either at the second or third annual survey
or between these surveys.
It has requirements for the survey of ballast tanks and cargo holds and the extent of thickness
measurements.
5. Chapter 5 deals with preparations for survey, in particular the survey programme, the conditions for
survey, access to structures, equipment for survey and the conduct of surveys at sea or at anchorage.
6. Chapter 6 contains provisions for prompt and thorough repairs of bulk carriers relative to damages and
wastage in cargo holds, requesting that any damage or excessive wastage beyond allowable limits to
side shell frames, their end attachments and/or adjacent shell plating, and deck structure and deck
plating between hatches, watertight bulkheads and hatch covers and hatch coamings that affect the
structural strength or integrity of the hull of the vessel, is to be promptly and thoroughly repaired.
7. Chapter 7 specifies the on-board documentation to be supplied and maintained by the owner and to be
made available to the surveyor.
It contains requirements for the survey report file, supporting documents and the review of
documentation on board by the surveyor.
8. Chapter 8 is dedicated to procedures for thickness measurements, including general requirements and
special provisions regarding the certification of thickness measurement company and the preparation of
the thickness measurement report.
9. Chapter 9 deals with Reporting and Evaluation of survey, stating that the data and information on the
structural condition of the ship collected during the survey should be evaluated for acceptability and
continued structural integrity of the ship and that a condition evaluation report of the survey and results
should be issued to the owner.

Application
These Guidelines are intended as advice on the preparation of damage control plans and to set a minimum
level for the presentation of damage stability information for use on board passenger and cargo ships to
which SOLAS regulation II-1/19, as amended by resolution MSC.216 (82), applies.
General
2.1 The damage control plan and damage control booklet are intended to provide ships officers with clear
information on the ships watertight subdivision and equipment related to maintaining the boundaries and
effectiveness of the subdivision so that, in the event of damage to the ship causing flooding, proper
precautions can be taken to prevent progressive flooding through openings therein and effective action can
be taken quickly to mitigate and, where possible, recover the ships loss of stability.
2.2 The damage control plan and damage control booklet should be clear and easy to understand.
It should not include information which is not directly relevant to damage control, and should be provided
in the working language of the ship.
