What type of Ship Surveys are there?
• Initial Survey. A complete examination, before the ship is put into service, of ALL ITEMS relating to the certificate to be issued, to ensure that they meet all relevant requirements, and are satisfactory for the ship’s intended service.
• Periodical Survey. A complete examination of ALL ITEMS relating to a certificate, ensuring that they are in satisfactory condition, and fit for the ship’s intended service.
• Renewal Survey. A complete examination of ALL ITEMS, just as a periodical survey but leading to the issue of a new certificate.
• Intermediate Survey. An inspection of SPECIFIED ITEMS relating to a certificate, to ensure they are in a satisfactory condition, and are fit for the ship’s intended service.

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?
Entered into effect February 2000
Primary aim is to harmonise survey dates and their associated certificates issued under the SOLAS, LOADLINE and MARPOL Conventions.
MSN 1751 - Key Points
- Max validity for all certificates is 5yrs. (Except Passenger Ship Safety Cert. Renewed Annually)
- Each full term of five years (or one year) will follow directly on from the previous one. (dated from the expiry date of the previous one)
- The renewal survey may be carried out up to three months before the expiry of the existing certificate. (This allows increased flexibility, and ability to harmonise the survey and expiry dates for all the certificates)
- A certificate may also be extended by a period of up to three months, in order that the renewal survey may be carried out.
Every certificate will be subject to an Annual, Intermediate or Periodical survey each year within three months of its anniversary date as follows:
- The Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate (RADIO) requires a Periodical survey each year.
- The International Load Line Certificate (LOADLINE) requires an annual survey each year.
- The Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate (SEC) requires an annual survey every year. On either the second or third year - this is replaced with a Periodical survey.
- The Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate (SAFCON) and the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate (IOPPC) all require Annual surveys each year. On either the second or third year this is replaced with an Intermediate survey.
A new combined Cargo Ship Safety Certificate (CSSC), which includes provision for recording all the surveys required for the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate, the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate and the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, may be issued as an alternative to the existing cargo ship safety certificates.
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 ships that are low risk under the Paris MoU.
- Available to selected non-passenger ships which trade internationally and to which the principal maritime conventions apply.
- 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.
