What type of Ship Surveys are there? (there are 7 and we need to know 5)

- Periodical Survey - Items relating to a certificate, still fit for service.
- Renewal Survey - Same a periodcial but issue of a new certificate.
- Intermediate Survey - Inspection of specified items
- Annual Survey - A General Inspection, that cert is maintained and will remain fit for the ships intended purpose.
List the different types of Survey systems?
- AD HOC (Latin for “for this”)or Occasional Survey system
- Routine Survey system
- Harmonised System of survey and certification (HSSC)
- Alternative Compliance Scheme (ACS)
- Enhanced Authroisation Scheme (EAS)
What’s an AD HOC or Occasional System?
Surveys are carried out @ intermittent intervals when ever certification is required for the vessel to carry out a specific task.
What is a Routine Survey System?
- A Traditional system, continous certification is required.
- Expiry date of cert is determined by the due date for the regulkar surveys during its validity.
What does HSSC stand for and what is its purpose?
- It is the Harmonized system of survey and certification!
- Its primary aim is to harmonize survey dates and associated certificates under SOLAS, MARPOL and LOADLINE.
MSN 1751 - HSSC for regulations.
- Max period of validity is 5 years.
- Each term of 5 years will follow on from previous 5 year inspection.
- Increased flexibility, therefore a Renewal survey can be carried out 3 months before expiry.
- Certs can also be extended up to 3 months, but when issued a new cert it will be dated from the expiry of the original and not the extension.
What is an Alternative Compliance Scheme, (ACS)?
- Delegates most of the survey work to RO’s.
- MCA issues C.O.I (certificate of inspection) then handed over to Class.
- MCA Maintains inspection of operations such as ISM, ISPS, MLC, but allows RO’s to inspect “Hardware”
Guidance is found in MGN 568
What is an Enhanced Authorisation scheme (EAS)?
- Is a survey scheme available only to selected shiups that are low risk under the Paris MoU.
- MCA have given all responsibility to RO’s except for the ISM DOC.
- Guidance is found in MGN 561
Which Certificates issued under the HSSC, are subject to an Annual, Intermediate or a periodical?
- Cargo Ship Saftey Radio Cert (SRC) - Requires a periodical.
- International Load Line Cert (ILLC) - Requires an Annual.
- Cargo Ship Safety Equipoment Cert (SEC) - requires an Annual and on 2nd or 3rd year is replaced with a peridical.
- Cargo Ship Safety Construction Cert (SAFCON) and International Oil Pollution Prevention Cert (IOPPC) - Require Annuals and on 2nd or 3rd year are replaced with intermediate.
