SECTION 1
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Survey Intervals and Conditions
A 100 General
101 All ships are to be subjected to periodical surveys to ascertain the condition of the structure, machinery installations,
equipment and appliances. Periodical surveys will in general
belong to one of the following categories:
ICLL
SOLAS:
MARPOL:
annual surveys
intermediate surveys
renewal surveys
other complete periodical surveys.
A 300
Annual surveys
301 Annual surveys are normally visual examinations to ascertain the general condition of the ship or relevant item. A
more thorough annual survey may be specified for particular
structures, machinery installations or equipment due to consequences of failure or age.
302 Annual surveys may unless otherwise stated be carried
out within 3 months on either side of the due date.
303 Annual survey is to be carried out concurrently with renewal - or complete periodical surveys.
304 Satisfactory completion of annual surveys for main
character of class and for oil tankers, chemical tankers, liquefied gas tankers, dry bulk cargo ships and for ships and plants
for refrigerated cargoes, as applicable, will be confirmed by
endorsement on the classification certificate.
305 Surveys completed prior to the specified period, i.e.
more than 3 months before due date, may be accepted. In such
cases the anniversary date on the classification certificate to be
advanced to correspond to a date not more than 3 months later
than the survey completion date.
Subsequent surveys are to be carried out at prescribed intervals
using the new anniversary date.
Expiry date of the classification certificate may remain unchanged, in which case one or more surveys may be required
so that the prescribed survey intervals are not exceeded.

2) The ship is to be manned by chief engineers who are familiar with the system. A chief engineer approved by the Society shall be onboard at least 50% of the time.
Requirements for approval of chief engineers are given in
201.
3) The planned maintenance system shall be approved (see
302).
4) The manager or operator shall have established a planned
maintenance system that includes at least all items and
systems that are covered by the continuous machinery survey (CMS) scheme.
5) Maintenance job descriptions and intervals are to be based
on manufacturers recommendations. Experience may
show that intervals need to be adjusted, in these cases documentation is required if intervals are to be extended.
6) All components in the CMS scheme are to be clearly identified with the CMS code in the system.
7) The system shall be able to produce a maintenance history
report of all main overhauls carried out for a specific time
period, see 303.
11) The CMS items for sea valves and sanitary valves cannot
be credited by the chief engineer, but shall always be surveyed by a surveyor. The CMS items for parallel operation, testing of the generators and testing of setting for
main and emergency generators protection devices and
circuit breaker shall always be carried out in presence of a
surveyor. These requirements are to be stated in the instructions in the planned maintenance system.
12) All corrective actions are to be especially identified in the
system.
13) The job descriptions and maintenance history are to be in
English.
14) Backup routines are to be established.
15) Annual survey is to be carried out in order to prolong the
validity of the survey arrangement.
16) Damage to machinery or equipment covered by classification shall always be reported to the Society and into the
planned maintenance system as a corrective action. The
corresponding repair shall always be verified by a surveyor.
17) In case of change of manager or operator, the survey arrangement is automatically cancelled.
The survey arrangement may also include the instrumentation
and automation equipment covered by the rules in Pt.6 Ch.3
for the class notations E0 or ECO. All jobs related to the notations E0 or ECO have then to be included in the system,
clearly identified, with proper test routines and maintenance
descriptions.
If these conditions are not complied with and the deficiency is
not rectified within a given time, the survey arrangement will
be cancelled. The conditions for ordinary continuous survey
arrangement (CMS) of machinery will be re-introduced and all
CMS items will be given a due date 5 years from the last survey date.
302 Before a ship may be accepted for alternative survey under a PMS arrangement, the system must be based on an approved PMS program. This program may be type approved or
approved on a case-by-case basis. Requirements for type approval are described in a type approval programme in Standard
for Certification 2.9 and in Certification Note 1.2.
Guidance note:
The supplier of the planned maintenance system can obtain type
approval while the system approval can be obtained by the manager or operator, see 304.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
402 The requirements given in 403 to 416 replace requirements given for traditional periodical and continuous hull surveys carried out by the Society with an integrated survey
program (ISP) which describes specific obligations for the
owner and the Society based on the ship's arrangement, installed equipment and systems as well as implemented planned
inspection and maintenance system (PIMS).
Guidance note:
For ships with class notation NAUTICUS assigned (see Ch.7) a
degree of exchange between the owner and the Society of information stored in the product model is defined. 3-D graphical
model is part of the product model and consists of a three dimensional view of the hull structure and associated features.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
412 Surveys for verification of the functioning of ISP are required annually as given in Sec.2 B206 and Sec.3 B202.
413 If service experience shows wear and tear or defects that
cannot be considered as normal, this shall be reported to the
Society. In such cases the owner shall initiate, in co-operation
with the Society, a special investigation to identify the
cause(s). The Society may require the inspection and maintenance interval shortened until suitable corrective actions have
been implemented.
414 If the hull structure and or equipment covered by the ISP
sustain damage to such an extent that it may be presumed to
lead to a condition of class (see Pt.1 Ch.1 Sec.3 B), the Society
is to be informed without delay. The ship is to be surveyed in
the first port of call or according to further instructions from
the Society.
415 Should it be evident that the conditions for the ISP enrolment or the effective functioning of ISP as basis for retention of class are not complied with, the ISP enrolment will be
cancelled and conditions for ordinary periodical or continuous
survey schemes will be introduced.
416 If the owner and or operator of the ship is changed, the
ISP enrolment will be automatically cancelled.

anchoring and mooring equipment
watertight bulkheads with watertight doors and penetrations.
202 Ballast tanks are to be internally examined when required as a consequence of no protective coating, soft coating
or POOR protective coating condition at previous intermediate
survey or renewal survey.
The examination may, unless otherwise decided by the surveyor, be carried out as an overall examination.
If considered necessary by the surveyor thickness measurements of parts showing reduced strength will be required.
203 Suspect areas as defined in A105 identified at previous
intermediate survey or renewal survey are to be overall and
close-up examined.
Areas with substantial corrosion as defined in A107 are to have
thickness measurements taken. Table D4 should be used as
guidance.
For suspect areas, the extent of overall and close-up examination and the extent of thickness measurements may be especially considered in cases where such areas have been recoated (by epoxy coating or equivalent, alternatively a type approved coating, e.g. semi-hard or similar), provided:
the scantlings were assessed and found satisfactory by a
surveyor prior to re-coating
the coating was applied according to the manufacturer's
recommendations
verification at intermediate and renewal surveys that coating is maintained in GOOD condition.
204 If a loading instrument or loading computer system is
available onboard, functionality is to be verified with respect
to strength and stability, whichever is applicable.
205 It is to be verified that approved loading and stability information is kept available onboard.
This information is the same as required when the ship was assigned class with the Society or at a later conversion of the
ship, in accordance with the rule requirements applicable in
each case.
206 For ships enrolled with alternative survey scheme, ISP,
as given in Sec.1 B400, an annual survey is required in order
to retain validity of the ISP.
The survey is to include:
ISP performance review with verification that the conditions for the enrolment of ISP are maintained
examination of PIMS records with regard to inspections
and maintenance carried out since last annual survey including description of corrective actions taken in response
of reported deficiencies.
If deemed necessary by the surveyor, based on the review of
inspection and maintenance records, or acceptance criteria given as part of the ISP are exceeded, examination and or test, under the supervision of a surveyor, is required.
Based on a satisfactory result of this survey, the validity of the

E 400 Gas turbines
401 Renewal survey involves internal inspection requiring
dismantling. The survey intervals should be specified in each
individual case, and conform to the refurbishment or overhaul
intervals and extent defined by the manufacturer. Generally, a
DNV surveyor is to witness the inspection or overhaul work,
verifying that it is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's own recommendations and criteria. In special cases an
agreement can be made with the Society allowing witnessing
to be substituted by a review of maintenance or overhaul documentation, showing that the unit has been inspected or overhauled in an appropriate manner complying with the
manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.
402 Renewal survey activities are in general of such a nature
that they should be performed at a maintenance depot. Upon
special request to the Society the survey activities may be carried out onboard, provided the requirements defined in Sec.1
G100 are adhered to.
403 Upon completion of onboard overhaul, or installation of
overhauled unit or module, the gas turbine is to be tested. The
testing is to cover alarms and shutdown functionality, as well
as engine control (i.e. single engine control, backup control)
and general performance. Test procedure is to be agreed with

102 For tanks of stainless steel or areas in tanks where original coatings are found to be in GOOD condition as defined in
Sec.2 A109, the extent of close-up examination as given for the
periodical surveys, may be especially considered. The same
applies when tanks have been re-coated (by epoxy coating or
equivalent, alternatively a type approved coating, e.g. semihard or similar), provided that the present coating condition of
the considered area is in GOOD condition and that documentation is available stating that:
the scantlings were assessed and found satisfactory by a
surveyor prior to re-coating
the coating was applied according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
103 The extent of thickness measurements as given for the
periodical surveys, may be especially considered provided the
surveyor is satisfied by the close-up examination, that there is
no structural strength reduction, and the corrosion protection
system where applied remains effective with coatings in
GOOD condition as given in 102 or for tanks of stainless steel.
K 200 Annual survey (cargo containment)
201 The requirements given in G200 and in Sec.2 B apply
with the additions and amendments given in 203 to 214.
202 Prior to inspection, the surveyor is to examine the documentation onboard as specified in Sec.1 C300, and its contents
as a basis for the survey.
203 For areas recorded with substantial corrosion at previous surveys, the requirements given in Sec.2B apply. The extent of thickness measurements is to be increased in
accordance with Table K4.
204 The following components and systems as appropriate
are to be surveyed during operation and tested for correct functioning as deemed necessary by the surveyor:
system for cargo tank level gauging
system for cargo tank overflow control (high and highhigh level alarm)
vapour detection instruments
system for cargo temperature indication
leakage alarm in spaces containing independent cargo
tanks.
205 Fixed as well as portable mechanical ventilation systems
for cargo handling spaces and spaces within the cargo area
which are normally entered, are to be surveyed/tested.
206 If provided, sampling arrangements for cargo heating/
cooling system are to be surveyed.
207 If provided, arrangements for storage of padding gas,
monitoring of ullage spaces and provisions of drying elements
on air inlets to cargo tanks are to be surveyed.
303

624 It is to be verified that the marking of cargo tanks,
pumps, pipelines, valves etc. is in order.
625 It is to be verified that required instructions, signboards
etc. are in order.
626 The emergency towing arrangements are to be examined
and confirmed readily available with aft towing arrangement
pre-rigged and forward chafing gear as stowed in such a way
that it can be rapidly connected to the strongpoint. The pick-up
gear, towing pennant and chafing gear are to be examined over
full length for deterioration. Where pennant line is stored in a
watertight condition and can be confirmed maintained, consideration may be given to waiving the requirement to examine
the pennant line over the full length. Strongpoint, fairlead and
pedestal roller are to be examined together with attachment to
ship.

Application
203 The log books are to be examined with regard to the condition of the cargo containment and the correct functioning of
the cargo handling systems. The running hours per day of the
reliquefaction plants or the boil-off rate and the inert gas consumption are to be considered in order to check that no irregularities in performance have occured.
204 Spaces used in connection with cargo handling (e.g. cargo control room, air locks, compressor rooms, electrical motor
rooms), are to be surveyed with respect to general condition,
e.g. cleanliness and maintenance.
205 Gastight bulkheads with possible shaft sealings are to be
visually examined.
206 The cargo handling piping and machinery, including

ly.
603 As far as practicable the outer surface of uninsulated cargo tanks or the outer surface of cargo tank insulation together
with any vapour or protective barrier is to be examined. Special attention is to be given to the cargo tank and insulation in
way of chocks, supports and keys. Partial removal of insulation
may be required in order to verify the condition of the tank or
the insulation itself if found necessary by the surveyor.
Where the insulation arrangement is such that it cannot be examined, the surrounding structures of wing tanks, double bottom tanks and cofferdams are to be examined for cold spots
when the cargo tanks are in the cold condition (prior to the
complete periodical survey) unless voyage records together
with the instrumentation give sufficient evidence of the integrity of the insulation system.
604 Thickness measurements of the cargo tanks may be required if deemed necessary by the surveyor.
605 For integral tanks and independent tanks type A and C,
non-destructive testing is to supplement cargo tank inspection,
with special attention to be given to the integrity of the main
structural members, tank shell and highly stressed parts, including welded connections as deemed necessary by the sur-
606 For independent tanks type B, the extent of non-destructive testing is to be as given in a programme specially prepared
for the cargo tank design.
607 The tightness of all cargo tanks is to be verified by an appropriate procedure. Provided that the effectiveness of the
ship's gas detection equipment has been confirmed, it will be
acceptable to utilise this equipment for the tightness test of independent tanks below deck during the first loading of the cargo tanks subsequent to the complete periodical survey.
608 Where findings of 602 to 607 or an examination of the
voyage records raise doubts as to the structural integrity of a
cargo tank, a hydraulic or hydropneumatic test is to be carried
out. For integral tanks and for independent tanks type A and B,
the test pressure at top of the tank is not to be less than the
MARVS (Maximum Allowable Relief Valve Setting). For cargo tanks type B with MARVS higher than 1.0 bar, a test pressure higher than MARVS will be specially considered. For
independent tanks type C the test pressure is not to be less than
1.25 times the MARVS.
609 At the second, the fourth, and thereafter at each complete periodical survey all independent cargo tanks type C are
to be either:
hydraulically or hydropneumatically tested to 1.25 times
MARVS and thereafter non-destructively tested in accordance with 605, or
subjected to a thorough, planned non-destructive testing.
This testing is to be carried out in accordance with a programme specially prepared for the tank design. If a special programme does not exist, special attention is to be given to the
detection of surface cracks in welded connections in highly
stressed areas as listed in 605.
At least 10% of the length of the welded connections in each
of above mentioned areas is to be tested. This testing is to be
carried out internally and externally as applicable.
Insulation is to be removed as necessary for the required nondestructive testing.
610 Secondary barriers are to be examined visually for their
effectiveness. For containment systems where access is not
possible, the effectiveness of the secondary barrier may be
checked by means of pressure/vacuum tests or other relevant
methods.
611 For membrane and semi-membrane tank systems inspection and testing are to be carried out in accordance with
programmes specially prepared in accordance with an approved method for the actual tank system.
612 If installed, systems for heating of hull structures are to
be surveyed and function tested.
613 All pressure relief valves for the cargo tanks are to be
opened for examination, adjusted, function tested and sealed.
The allowable tolerance on the set pressure is given in Table
L1.
If the cargo tanks are equipped with relief valves with non-metallic membranes in the main or pilot valves, such non-metallic
membranes are to be replaced with new ones.
614 Pressure/vacuum relief valves, pressure relief hatches
and rupture discs on interbarrier spaces and hold spaces are to
be examined, if necessary by opening, adjusted and tested depending on their design.
615 The cargo, liquid nitrogen and process piping systems,
including valves, actuators, compensators etc. are to be opened
for examination as deemed necessary. Insulation is to be removed as deemed necessary to ascertain the condition of the
pipes. If the visual examination raises doubt as to the integrity
of the pipelines, a pressure test at 1.25 times the MARVS for
the pipeline is to be carried out. After reassembly the complete
piping system is to be tightness-tested to MARVS.
If the maximum delivery pressure for the piping system is less
than the design pressure for the piping system, testing to the
pumps' delivery pressure may be accepted. In such cases expansion bellows, selected at random, may be required dismantled for internal survey and pressure tested to their design
pressure.
616 The pressure relief valves in the cargo and process piping systems are to be opened, function tested and adjusted to
the extent found necessary by the surveyor.
617 The watersides of seawater-cooled heat exchangers, including those for gas operation of propulsion machinery are to
be opened for survey, and the heat exchangers are to be pressure tested as found necessary.
618 Cargo pumps, compressors and other machinery, including prime movers, used in connection with cargo handling and
gas operation of propulsion machinery are to be surveyed.
