So where does Enhanced survey programme fit in these?
Enhanced survey programme (ESP) is not a separate survey. ESP just gives the
specific guidelines about what to inspect during these surveys with respect to hull
and structure of bulk carriers and oil tankers.
o Who to inspect?
For bulk carriers of 20,000 tons deadweight and above, two surveyors
should jointly carry out the first scheduled renewal survey after the bulk
carrier passes 10 years of age (i.e. third renewal survey), and all subsequent
renewal surveys and intermediate surveys.
o When to inspect?

The renewal survey may be commenced at the fourth annual survey and be
progressed during the succeeding year with a view to completion by the
fifth-anniversary date.
o How to inspect
For ships of 15 years of age and over, inspection of the outside of the ship’s
bottom should be carried out with the ship in dry-dock. For ships of less than
15 years of age, alternate inspections of the ship’s bottom not conducted in
conjunction with the renewal survey may be carried out with the ship afloat.
I have just given a couple of bullet points about what these guidelines are.
If you get your hands on ESP code, you will see that these guidelines provide
much more details than this.
