The Guidelines should apply to surveys of hull structure and piping systems in way of cargo holds, cofferdams, pipe tunnels, void spaces within the cargo length area and all ballast tanks. The surveys should be carried out during the surveys prescribed by the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended. 4.1.2 The Guidelines contain the extent of examination, thickness measurements and tank testing, The survey should be extended when substantial corrosion and/or structural defects are found and include additional close-up survey when necessary. 1.2. Definitions 1.2.1. Bulk carrier is a ship which is constructed generally with single deck, top side tanks and hopper side tanks in cargo spaces, and is intended primarily to carry dry cargo in bulk and includes such types as ore carriers and combination cartiers#. 4.2.2 Ballast tank is a tank which is used for water ballast and includes side ballast tanks, ballast double: bottom spaces, topside tanks, hopper side tanks and peak tanks, 1.2.3. Spaces are separate compartments including holds and tanks. 1.2.4. 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. 1.2.5. Closeup survey is a survey where the details of structural components are within the close visual inspection range of the surveyor, ie. preferably within reach of hand. 1.2.6 Transverse section 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. 1.2.7. Representative spaces are those which are expected to reflect the condition of other spaces of similar type and service and with similar corrosionprevention systems. When sclecting representative spaces, account should be taken of the service and repair history on board and identifiable critical and/or suspect areas. 4.2.8. Suspect areas are locations showing substantial corrosion and/or are considered by the surveyor to be prone to rapid wastage. 4.2.9: Substantial corrosion is an extent of corrosion such that assessment of corrosion pattern indicates a wastage in excess of 75% of allowable margins, but within acceptable limits. The miention of these Guidelines sto ensue that an appropriate level of eview af plans anc documents is conducted and consistency in “Applicaton ® attained. Such evatatin of survey reports, survey programmes, planning documents, etc, should fe eared out at the Tranagerial level ofthe Administration ox organization recognized By the Adkirstaton Fo! combination cares ational requirements ae specified inthe Guidelines on the Enhanced Programme of Inspections During Surveys for Cnt Tankers set olt in annex Bo the present resoluton. 52 — Resolution A.744(18): Annex A1.2.10 Corrosionprevention system is normally considered either: a full hard coating supplemented by anodes; .2 a full hard coating. Other coating systems (e.g, soft coating) may be considered acceptable as alternatives provided that they are applied and maintained in compliance with the manufacturer's specification. 1.2.11 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% or more of areas under consideration, but less than as defined for POOR condition; POOR condition with general breakdown of coating over 20% or more of areas or hard scale at 10% or more of areas under consideration. 1.2.12 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, 1.2.13 Cargo length area is that part of the ship which includes all cargo holds and adjacent areas including fuel tanks, cofferdams, ballast tanks and void spaces. 1.2.14 Intermediate enhanced survey is an enhanced survey carried out either at the second or third annual survey or between these surveys. 1.3. Scope of surveys 1.3.1. Prior to inspection, the surveyor should examine the completeness of documentation on board, and its contents as a basis for the survey. 1.3.2, 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 ENHANCED SURVEY CARRIED OUT DURING PERIODICAL SURVI 2.1 General 2.1.1 The enhanced survey may be commenced at the fourth annual survey andl be progressed during the succeeding year with a view to completion by the fifth anniversary date. 2.1.2 As part of the preparation for the enhanced survey, the thickness measurement and survey programme should be dealt with in advance of the enhanced survey. The thickness measurement should not be held before the fourth annual survey. 2.1.3. The survey should include, in addition to the requirements of the annual survey, examination, tests and checks of sufficient extent to ensure that the hull and related piping is in a satisfactory condition and is {it for its intended purpose for the new period of validity of the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, subject to proper maintenance and operation and to periodical surveys being carried out. 2.1.4 All cargo holds, ballast tanks, pipe tunnels, cofferdams and void spaces bounding cargo holds, decks and outer hull should be examined, and this examination should be supplemented by thickness Resolution A.744(18): Annex A ~ 53‘measurement and testing as deemed necessary, to ensure that the structural integrity remains effective. The examination should be sufficient to discover substantial corrosion, significant deformation, fractures, damages or other structural deterioration. 2.1.5 All piping systems within the above spaces should be examined and operationally tested under working conditions to ensure that their condition remains satisfactory. 2.1.6 The survey extent of combined ballast/cargo holds should be evaluated, based on the records of ballast history and extent of the corrosion-prevention system provided. 2.1.7. The survey extent of ballast tanks converted to void spaces should be specially considered in relation to the requirements for ballast tanks. 2.2 Drydock survey 2.2.1 Asurvey in dry-dock should be a part of the enhanced survey during periodical survey. There should be a minimum of two inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom during the 5-year period of the certificate. In all cases, the maximum interval between bottom inspections should not exceed 36 months. 2.2.2. Alternate inspections of the ship's bottom not conducted in conjunction with the enhanced survey duting periodical survey may be carried out with the ship afloat. Special consideration should be given to ships of 15 years of age or over before being permitted to have stich inspections. Inspections of the ship afloat should only be carried out when the conditions are satisfactory and the proper equipment and suitably qualified staff are available. 2.2.3. Ifa survey in dry-dock is not completed in conjunction with the enhanced survey during periodical survey or if the 36 month maximum interval referred to in 2.2.1 is not complied with, the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate should cease to be valid until a survey in dry-dock is completed, 2.2.4 However, in order to allow time for transition to the enhanced inspection system, until 6 July 197, the Administration with a survey cycle of 4 years or less may carry out dry-dock surveys separately from the enhanced inspections during periodical survey. For ships to which this applies, the enhanced inspections during periodical survey should be conducted at facilities which possess the capabilities necessary to properly conduct the examinations and testing required, and all other requirements of the enhanced inspection guidelines should be met. 2.3. Tank corrosion-prevention system 2.3.1 Where provided, the condition of the corrosionprevention system of ballast tanks should be examined. For ballast tanks, excluding double-bottom tanks, where a coating is found in POOR condition as defined in 1.2.11, and it is not renewed, or where a coating has not been applied, the tanks in question should be examined at annual intervals, When such breakdown of coating is found in ballast double-bottom tanks, or where a coating has not been applied, the tanks in question may be examined at annual intervals. Thickness measurement should be carried out as considered necessary by the surveyor. 2.4 Hatch covers and coamings 2.4.1 A thorough inspection of the items listed in 3.3 should be cattied out 2.4.2. Random checking of the satisfactory operation of mechanically operated hatch covers should be made, including: stowage and securing in open condition; -2 proper fit and efficiency of sealing in closed condition; 54 ~ Resolution A.744(18): Annex A3 operational testing of hydraulic and power components, wires, chains, and link drives. 2.4.3. The effectiveness of sealing arrangements of all hatch covers by hose testing or equivalent should be checked. 2.4.4 Thickness measurement of the hatch cover and coaming plating and stiffeners should be carried out as given in annex 2. 2.5 Extent of overall and closeup surveys 2.5.1 An overall survey of all spaces excluding fuel cil tanks should be carried out at the periodical survey. Fuel oil tanks in way of cargo holds should be sufficiently examined to ensure that their condition is satisfactory. 2.5.2. Each periodical survey should include a closeup examination of sufficient extent to establish the condition of the shell frames and their end attachments in all cargo holds and ballast tanks as indicated in annex 1. 2.6 Extent of thickness measurements 2.6.1. The requirements for thickness measurements at the periodical survey are given in annex 2. 2.6.2. Representative thickness measurements to determine both general and local levels of corrosion in the shell frames and their end attachments in all cargo holds and ballast tanks should be carried out. Thickness measurement should also be carried out to determine the corrosion levels on the transverse bulkhead plating, The thickness measurements may be dispensed with provided the surveyor is satisfied by the closeup examination that there is no structural diminution, and the coating, where applied, remains efficient. 2.6.3. The surveyor may extend the thickness measurements as deemed necessary. 2.6.4. For areas in spaces where coatings are found to be in GOOD condition as defined in 1.2.11, the extent of thickness measurements according to annex 2 may be specially considered by the Administration. 2.6.5. Transverse sections should be chosen where the largest reductions are suspected to occur or are revealed from deck plating measurements, 2.7. Extent of tank pressure testing 2.7.1. All boundaries of ballast tanks, deep tanks and cargo holds used for ballast within the cargo hold length should be pressure-tested. Representative tanks for fresh water, fuel ail and lubrication oil should also be pressuretested. 2.7.2 Generally, the pressure should correspond to a water level to the top of hatches for ballast/cargo holds, of to the top of air pipes for ballast tanks or fuel tanks, 3 ENHANCED SURVEY CARRIED OUT DURING ANNUAL SURVEY 3.1. General 3.1.1. The survey should consist of an examination for the purpose of ensuring, as far as practicable, that the hull hatch covers, coamings and piping are maintained in a satisfactory condition and should take into account the sorvice history, condition and extent of the corrosiom-prevention system of ballast tanks and areas identified in the survey report file. Resolution A,744(18): Annex A — 553.2 Examination of the hull 3.2.1. Examination of the hull plating and its closing appliances should be carried out as far as can be seen. 3.2.2. Examination of watertight penetrations should be cartied out as far as practicable. 3.3 Examination of hatch covers and coamings 3.3.1. It should be confirmed that no unapproved changes have been made to the hatch covers, hatch ‘coamings and their securing and sealing devices since the last survey. 3.3.2 Where mechanically operated steel covers are fitted, the satisfactory condition of the following, should be confirmed: = hatch covers; ightness devices of longitudinal, transverse and intermediate cross junctions (gaskets, gasket lips, compression bars, drainage channels); ~ clamping devices, retaining bars, cleating: = chain or rope pulleys; = guides; ~ guide rails and track wheels; ~ stoppers, etc; ~ wires, chains, gypsies, tensioning devices; — hydraulic system essential to closing and securing: ~ safety locks and retaining devices. 3.3.3.

For ps over 10 years of age, all ballast tanks should be examined. If such inspections reveal no visible structural defects, the examination may be limited to a verification that the coating remains efficient. 4.2.2. Where POOR coating condition as defined in 1.2.11, corrosion or other defects are found in ballast tanks or where a coating has not been applied from the time of construction, the examination should be extended to other ballast tanks of the same type. 4.2.3 For ballast tanks excluding double-bottom tanks, where a coating is found in POOR condition, as defined in 1.2.11, and it is not renewed or where a coating has not been applied, the tanks in question should be examined at annual intervals. When such breakdown of coating is found in ballast double-bottom: tanks, or where a coating has not been applied, the tanks in question may be examined at annual intervals. Thickness measurements should be carried out as considered necessary by the surveyor 4.2.4 In addition to the requirements above, areas found suspect according to 1.2.8 at the previous periodical survey should be subject to overall and close-up surveys. 43. Cargo holds 43.1 An overall survey of all cargo holds, including a close-up survey of sufficient extent, should be carried ‘out to establish the condition of; ~ shell frames and their end attachments and transverse bulkheads in the forward cargo hold and one other selected cargo hold; = areas found suspect according to 1.2.8 at the previous periodical survey. 4.3.2 Where considered necessary by the surveyor as a result of the overall and closeup surveys as described in 4.3.1, the survey should be extended to include a close-up survey of sufficient extent of other representative cargo holds Resolution A.744(18): Annex A — 5744 Extent of thickness measurements 4.4.1 Thickness measurements should be carried out to an extent sufficient to determine both general and local corrosion levels at areas subject to close-up survey, as described in 4.2.4, 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 4.4.2.

The compliance with the Guidelines is mandatory for crude oil tankers of 20,000 tons deadweight and above and product carriers of 30,000 tons deadweight and above under regulation 13G of Annex | to MARPOL 73/78. 1.1.3. The Guidelines should apply to surveys of hull structure and piping systems in way of cargo tanks, pump-rooms, cofferdams, pipe tunnels, void spaces within the cargo area and all ballast tanks 1.1.4. The Guidelines contain the extent of examination, thickness measurements and tank pressure testing, The survey should be extended when substantial corosion and/or structural defects are found and include additional close-up survey when necessary. 1.2. Definitions 1.2.1. Ballast tank is a tank which is used for water ballast and includes segregated ballast tanks, ballast doublebottom spaces and peak tanks, 1.2.2 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. 1.2.3 Closeup survey is a survey where the details of structural components are within the close visual inspection range of the surveyor, ic. preferably within reach of hand. 1.2.4 Transverse section includes all longitudinal members such as plating, longitudinals and girders at the deck, side, bottom, inner bottom and longitudinal bulkheads 1.2.5 Representative tanks are those which are expected to reflect the condition of other tanks of similar type and service and with similar corrosion-prevention systems. When selecting representative tanks, account should be taken of the service and repair history on board and identifiable critical and/or suspect areas. 1.2.6 suspect areas are locations showing substantial corrosion and/or are considered by the surveyor to be prone to rapid wastage. 1.2.7. Substantial corrosion is an extent of corrosion such that assessment of corrosion pattern indicates a wastage in excess of 75% of allowable margins, but within acceptable limits. 1.2.8 Corrosion-prevention system is normally considered either: +1 a full hard coating supplemented by anodes; 2 afull hard coating. Other coating systems (c.g. soft coating) may be considered acceptable as alternatives provided that they are applied and maintained in compliance with the manufacturer's specification. “Roce fee ceo ene hat an prot ne fee of ae ud dace conde ard constr n application i attained.

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% or more of areas under consideration, but less than as defined for POOR condition; POOR condition with general breakdown of coating over 20% or more of areas or hard scale at 10% or more of areas under consideration. 1.2.10 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. 1.2.11 Caigo area is an area as defined in regulation 1k2/3.32 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, 1.2.12. Intermediate enhanced survey is an enhanced survey carried out either at the second or third annual survey or between these surveys. 1.3. Scope of surveys 1.3.1. Prior to inspection, the surveyor should examine the completeness of documentation on board, and its contents as a basis for the survey. 1.3.2. 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 ENHANCED SURVEY CARRIED OUT DURING PERIODICAL SURVEY 2.1 General 2.1.1 The enhanced 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. 2.1.2 As part of the preparation for the enhanced survey, the thickness measurement and survey programme should be dealt with, in advance of the enhanced survey. The thickness measurement should not be held before the fourth annual survey. 2.1.3 The survey should include, in addition to the requirements of the annual survey, examination, tests and checks of sufficient extent to ensure that the hull and related piping is in a satisfactory condition and is fit for its intended purpose for the new period of validity of the Certificate, subject to proper maintenance and operation and to periodical surveys being carried out, 2.1.4 All cargo tanks, ballast tanks, pump-rooms, pipe tunnels, cofferdams and void spaces bounding cargo tanks, decks and outer hull should be examined, and this examination should be supplemented by thickness measurement and testing as deemed necessary, to ensure that the structural integrity remains effective. The examination should be sufficient to discover substantial corrosion, significant deformation, fractures, damages or other structural deterioration. 2.1.5. All piping systems within the above tanks and spaces should be examined to ensure that tightness and condition remain satisfactory. Special attention should be given to ballast piping in cargo tanks and ‘cargo piping in ballast tanks and void spaces. 98 ~ Resolution A.744{18): Annex B2.1.6 The survey extent of combined ballast/cargo tanks should be evaluated based on the records of ballast history and extent of the corrosion-prevention system provided. 2.2 Drydock survey 2.2.1 A survey in dry-dock should be a part of the enhanced survey during periodical survey. There should be a minimum of two inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom during the 5-year period of the certificate. In all cases, the maximum interval between bottom inspections should not exceed 36 months. 2.2.2 Alternate inspections of the ship's bottom not conducted in conjunction with the enhanced survey during periodical survey may be carried out with the ship afloat. Special consideration should be given to ships of 15 years of age or over before being permitted to have such inspections. Inspections of the ship afloat should only be carried out when the conditions are satisfactory and the proper equipment and suitably qualified staff are available. 2.2.3. If a survey in dry-dock is not completed in conjunction with the enhanced survey during periodical survey or if the 36 month maximum interval referred to in 2.2.1 is not complied with, the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate issued to oil tankers referred to in paragraph 1.1.1 and/or the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate, as appropriate, issued to oil tankers referred to in paragraph 1.1.2 should cease to be valid until a survey in dry-dock is completed, 2.2.4 However, in order to allow time for transition to the enhanced inspection system, until 6 July 1997, the Administration with a survey cycle of 4 years or less may carry out dry-dock surveys separately from the ‘enhanced inspections during periodical survey. For ships to which this applies, the enhanced inspections during periodical survey should be conducted at facilities which possess the capabilities necessary to properly conduct the examinations and testing required, and all other requirements of the enhanced inspection guidelines should be met. 2.3. Tank corrosion-prevention system 2.3.1 Where provided, the condition of the corrosionprevention system of cargo tanks should be examined. A ballast tank where a protective coating is found in POOR condition as defined in 1.2.9 and itis not renewed, or where a protective coating has nat been applied, the tank in question should be examined at annual intervals.
