Section E  Reference for Surveys

 

 

1    Reference for surveys

 

1.1  The reference for on-site surveys includes: conventions, rules, codes, IACS unified requirements, unified interpretations, survey guidelines, procedural documents,  technical standards approved or accepted by CCS, circulars, etc. These documents provide various requirements to surveys with different extents.

 

1.2  Classification survey for ships refers to the inspections and tests carried out by the Classification Society or its agent for the ships intended or have had the class assigned by the Classification Society in accordance with the survey extent and requirements provided by ship classification rules, with the purposes of verifying whether the structural strength, the propulsion, operating and auxiliary equipment, systems and maintenance of the surveyed ship comply with the relevant requirements of classification rules.

 

1.3  Statutory surveys for ships refers to the surveys carried out for ships in accordance with the international conventions ratified by the flag State Administrations granting the authorization to CCS and also the directives and regulations issued by the Administrations.

 

 

1.4   Concerning all the references for surveys, conventions, rules, regulations, codes and guideliances as the basis are the standards that must be implemented during the ship surveys.

 

1.5   IACS unified requirements are the approved resolution for a certain event (with regard to a society’s specific rules and routine operation), and is one of the references for development of rules. All of above UI can be find in Part I of GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF STATUTORY SURVEYS.   

 

1.6  IACS unified interpretation refers to the explanation given to facilitate proper understanding of conventions and codes in order to implement the requirements of IMO conventions in case relevant clauses or terms in the convention are vague in meaning, for more details, please refer to Part II of GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF STATUTORY SURVEYS .

 

1.7  Guidelines for surveys refer to detailed description and specific guidance for a certain respect of the survey, directing surveyors with specific practice during surveys.

 

1.8  Instructions to Surveyors refer to the description of specific practice on various services provided by the surveyors, regarded as implementation guidelines for rules and conventions.

 

1.9  New requirements (including conventions, codes, IACS unified requirements, unified interpretations and relevant provisions of flag States newly coming into force) may be distributed in the form of Circulars or technical notices to achieve the purpose of implementing new requirements duly, which will be brought into the new version inatruction to surveyors.

 

1.10 Where appropriate reference (conventions, rules, codes, guidelines, Instructions to Surveyors and etc.) for surveys cannot be found during surveys, reference may be made to the technical standards approved or accepted by CCS.

 

1.11  The procedural documents are used to ensure the successful completion of the surveys. Normaly, the instruction to surveyors shall not include the nontechnical requirements of procedural. It will be delay cause of the revising of the procedural documents  earlier than the coornidating work with the instruction to surveyors,  if there some disaccord between them, please take the new version procedural documents as the final decision and feed back the problem to head quarters.

 

1.12       Application of survey instruction during service survey

            After survey for new constructed ships or ships with major conversion, in view of structural characters such as novelty and high stress, survey instruction may be compiled for some ships in accordance with requirements of the Headquarters. The ships with survey instruction has internal memo reminder in internal survey status. Before the survey is carried out, surveyor may download the survey instruction from “SURVEY INSTRUCTING INFORMATION” in “DATA AND SURVEY” function table of the related ship in SSMIS system in accordance with the reminder of internal memo and apply the survey instruction during the on-site survey.

           The surveyor is to compare the structural high stress area or critical structure concerned in survey instruction with the current survey scope and is to mark within the current survey and track the condition of critical structure marked for concern during the survey. The survey scope may be extended to other related critical structure if necessary.

           The surveyor is to describe the survey of critical structure or the other items to be concerned in the survey report and is to recommend the Headquarters to revise or add the contents of survey instruction if necessary.

2           Relation between instructions to surveyors and the other reference for surveys

2.1       Instructions to Surveyors refer to the description of specific practice on various services provided by the surveyors, as an implementation guideline for rules and codes, it is an important guidance documents for surveyors to carry out the survey on board the ships and defines how to implement the surveys.

2.2       The international conventions, codes, IACS unified requirements, unified interpretations and CCS rules state the statutory and classification requirements a ship is to satisfy, but how to perform surveys for the ships so as to ensure satisfy these requirements? The Instructions to Surveyors definitely specify how to survey and what items are to be surveyed so as to unify the survey standards of all the surveyors. The Instructions is one of the technical documents that are most frequently used, It covers the technical requirements of survey and the filling requirements of certificates and reports in order to specify the principles which are to be complied with and the issues which are easily neglected during the survey.

2.3       Most of the contents in the Instructions to Surveyors are the specific implementation methods for rules in terms of classification and with appropriate implementation requirements for conventions and codes in terms of statutory parts. The Instructions are composed of classification and statutory parts, including provisions for surveys of newbuildings and for surveys of ships in service. A classification survey report contains all the survey requirements provided in the Rules and a statutory survey report covers all the requirements provided in the conventions and codes so that it is likely to demonstrate that the ship is in compliance with all the classification and statutory requirements upon the completion of all the survey items listed in these reports. The Instructions, started from the survey requirements and based on the long-period survey experience of the Classification Society, are composed of valuable experience of the experts of various disciplines in the Society. The Instructions not only contains the requirements of survey management all throughout but also provides the specific guidance for site surveys so as to enable the surveyors who are acquainted with the requirements of Rules and Conventions to learn from the Instructions appropriate methods how to ensure compliance of ships with the Conventions and Rules, to know the characteristics of various types of ships and the issues likely to take place, and to learn how to grasp the key points during surveys and further to grasp the principal contradiction impacting ship safety. In other words, the Instructions is a bridge for surveyors for the accomplishment from primary to mature in survey skills and it is an important technical document reflecting the site survey level of a classification society.

2.4       The Instructions are applied as the guidance document for the Society’s implementation of Rules, Conventions, Codes, IACS technical documents and provisions of authorized flag State Administration, aiming at providing surveyors with necessary technical supports and appropriate guidance for correct understanding and application of the above-mentioned documents when the surveyors are implementing these documents. Surveyors may use the Instructions based on real situations when conducting surveys in accordance with the requirements of conventions, rules, codes and guidelines and etc.

Section F  The Relations between the Classification Survey and Statutory Survey

 

 

 

 

1           Classification Surveys for Ships

1.1        Basically, classification of ships is the implementation of ship classification rules and regulations to evaluate in an objective and impartial manner the ship’s structural strength and watertight divisions, ship’s propulsion, operating and auxiliary systems as well as the relative safety and reliability of other functions for the purpose of promoting safe navigation at sea, prevention sea areas from pollution and meeting various demands from Administrations, ship owners, underwriters, shipyards, manufacturers of marine products or materials.

1.1.2     Classification survey for ships refers to the inspections and tests carried out by the Classification Society or its agent for the ships intended or have had the class assigned by the Classification Society in accordance with the survey extent and requirements provided by ship classification rules, for the purposes of verifying whether the structural strength, the propulsion, operating and auxiliary equipment, systems and maintenance of the surveyed ships comply with the relevant requirements of classification rules.

1.1.3    CCS will assign a ship with appropriate class and the ship is to be indicated with the corresponding classification characters and class notations provided the hull, machinery including electrical equipment and refrigerated cargo installations of the ship complies with the requirements of CCS classification and construction rules.

1.1.4    Ships which are approved and assigned with a class must comply with the relevant provisions of CCS classification rules if they are requested to maintain the classification characters and class notations assigned by CCS.

1.1.5     For any damage, defect, failure or grounding and repair that may affect the effectiveness of classification characters and class notations assigned or certificates, the shipowner, operating company and master are to report to CCS in due time, and similar conversion that may affect the classification is to be approved by CCS in advance.  

1.1.6     The rules developed by CCS based on the experience and study results are reliable standards to ensure seaworthiness and safety of newbuildings and ships in service, which must be complied with.

1.1.7     All the ships having CCS class will be included into the Register of Ships published by CCS.

1.1.8     As a composing parts of classification, the hull and machinery (including electrical equipment) are not to apply individual hull class or machinery class, especially when the expiry date of survey is given, it is to be noticed that the survey completion date of special machinery survey or continuous survey for machinery is to be consistent with that of special hull survey and continuous survey for hull.

1.2      Statutory Surveys for Ships

1.2.1   Statutory surveys for ships refers to the surveys carried out for ships registered under the flag States in accordance with the following requirements by CCS authorized by the flag State Administrations and on behalf of the Administrations:

12.1.1  Relevant international conventions and codes ratified by the flag State Administrations.

1.2.1.2  Relevant regulations and directives promulgated by the flag State Administrations.

1.2.1.3  Relevant safety technical standards acknowledged or ratified by the flag State Administrations.

1.2.2    Statutory survey for ships is a mandatory inspection that must be implemented for legitimate operation of ships.

1.2.3     For ships flying Chinese flag engaged on domestic navigation, statutory surveys refer to different kinds of surveys as required by Technical Regulations for Statutory Survey of Sea-going Ships Engaged on Domestic Navigation, Technical Regulations for Statutory Survey of River Boats and amended circulars (including surveys required by directives and rules and regulations promulgated by the Administration), i.e. different kinds of inspections and surveys required for ships engaged on domestic navigation, and issuance or endorsement of relevant statutory certificates after inspection and survey in order to safeguard ship, life and property, prevent water environment pollution  and safeguard safe operation of lifting appliances.  

1.3        Relation between Classification and Statutory Surveys

1.3.1     Classification survey for ships is a part of safety inspection for ships. According to the provisions to SOLAS Reg. II-1/3-1, for classed ships, the provisions for ship structures and mechanical and electrical equipment provided in the Society’s Rules are also to be complied with during the activities of ship design, manufacturing and maintenance, with the equivalent nature of statutory requirements.

1.3.2    The other statutory requirements involved in others such as fire protection, stability, pollution prevention in ship classification rules are generally regarded as the conditions of maintaining the effectiveness of the ship class. But for a certain specific ship, where these provisions are inconsistent with the Conventions applicable to the ship or the directives promulgated by the flag State Administration, the survey and certification are generally to be based on the requirements of the Conventions or regulations applicable to the ship. For ships exempted from these mandatory Convention requirements (e.g. non-mandatory requirement ships, etc.), these requirements provided in classification rules may be implemented as statutory requirements for surveys and certification with the ratification by the flag State Administration.

1.4        Harmonization of Surveys

1.4.1     Since 74 SOLAS 88 Protocol and MARPOL 73/78 Convention comes into force, the survey period is divided roughly equal and new survey types are introduced, which means international voyage ships of 500 gross tonnage or above are requested to have minimum over 30 surveys for the purpose of maintaining the validity of ship class certificate, load line certificate, safety construction certificate, safety equipment certificate, safety radio certificate, oil pollution prevention certificate and lifting appliances certificate. In order to avoid multiple boarding surveys conducted by surveyors in a short period, as many surveys as possible are to be harmonized (contained). Therefore, the ship owner is to take good advantage of the survey windows in three months of the classification and statutory surveys so as to complete surveys as many as possible at one time in a year. Harmonization of surveys may reduce the cost of the ship owners.

1.4.2     Except for special requirements of the flag States, according to the requirements of Resolution A.883(21) adopted by IMO Conference, all the international voyage ships in the range provided in the Convention or code which covered by this guidelines are to implement the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (HSSC) and to comply with the requirements of the HSSC when with the new statutory certificates are issued.

           

1.4.3    The relevant surveys stipulated in statutory certificates may be carried out together with the various surveys to maintain the class at the same time provided it is authorized by the Administration.

1.4.5   Survey anniversary

1.4.5.1  Personnel managing class or surveyors implementing surveyors are to pay attention to harmonizing the survey dates with the ship owner to make the anniversaries of class surveys and statutory surveys, expiry dates of class special surveys and statutory certificates consistent so as to maintain class survey always consistent with statutory surveys.

1.4.5.2 Nevertheless the surveys for propeller shafts and screw shafts may be excluded from the survey harmonization.

1.4.5.3 Determination of survey anniversary

           Surveyors are to pay attention to the judgment of survey anniversary.

In general, the survey anniversary date is the specific month and day the expiry date of full-term certificate correspond to. The expiry date of full-term certificate for newly built ships shall be the ship delivery date added five years minus one day, for example: if the ship delivery date is July 2, 2014, then the expiry date for the full-term certificate shall be July 1, 2019. where the annual, intermediate or periodical surveys of a ship are completed before the stipulated date window (i.e. three months before the anniversary date), the anniversary survey date is to be amended accordingly.

The purpose of such amendment of survey anniversary date is primarily for ensuring that the implementation of various periodical surveys will not exceed the stipulated term, for example: the completion dates of two adjacent annual surveys (or either one is intermediate/periodical survey) are not to exceed 18 months.

The amendment of survey anniversary date need not amend the expiry date of certificate but it is to be endorsed in the two parts in the endorsement column of the statutory certificate.

1.4.5.4 Amendment of anniversary date when annual and intermediate surveys are implemented earlier

              Where annual survey or intermediate survey is completed three months earlier than the anniversary date of full-term certificate, the new survey anniversary date is the completion date of survey plus three months and minus one day. In such case, the shipping company may add one more annual survey at appropriate time in order to keep the date of renewal survey unchanged. Where a renewal survey is conducted within the increasable annual survey window, annual survey for anniversary amendment and renewal survey are regarded at the same time. In case that the completion date of this renewal survey is after the commencement of the window three months before the validity period of the existing full-term certificate and is not in excess of the longest survey interval provided by the Convention, upon the completion of survey, the validity period of the new full-term certificate is that of the existing full-term certificate plus five years.

For example:

The Harmonized System Certificate of a ship is expired on 22 October 2004 (the period of validity is for five years), and the intermediate survey was completed on 10 February 2002, so:

1.  the new survey anniversary date is: 9 May;

2.  the validity of certificate is still on 22 October 2004, and the subsequent surveys are so scheduled as:

the fourth annual survey: from 10 February to 8 August 2003 (the date is to be filled at intermediate survey in the column of “Next Survey” in FC report),

the renewal date is still on 22 October 2004 (the renewal date is to be filled at last intermediate and annual surveys in the column of “Next Survey” in FC report respectively);

1.   the shipping company may take the following options:

a)   implementing the above-mentioned survey schedule to complete the renewal survey earlier before 22 July 2004 so that the period of validity of new full-term certificate is calculated in accordance with the completion date of survey plus five years; or

b)   adding one more annual survey between 10 February 2004 and 8 August 2004 to recover the renewal survey date to be on 22 October 2004;

            c)   where the ship owner completes renewal survey directly, provided the commencement of survey is not later than 8 August 2004 (three-month window after the increasable annual survey) and the completion date not earlier than 23 July 2004 (three-month window before renewal survey), the validity date of new full-term certificate is calculated in accordance with that of the existing full-term certificate plus five years.

            (2) If the annual inspection and intermediate inspection of seagoing ships engaged on domestic voyage are carried out in advance, the anniversary date shall be calculated in the same manner of that for seagoing ships engaged on international voyage.

1.4.5.5  Surveyors are to remind the shipping company to make a choice whether to amend anniversary date or not and to schedule the subsequent surveys according to the shipping company’s choice, specifying by means of RA (or KB) Repot.

1.4.5.6  Shipping companies may adjust the ship’s survey anniversary date according to ship’s voyage and repair planning. Therefore, each survey unit is to report the applications submitted by shipping companies to the Classed Ship in Service Department of the Headquarters so as to make appropriate survey schedule and inform the shipping company.

1.4.5.7  Since the amended survey anniversary date is not consistent with the expiry date of the certificate, in order to avoid confusion of survey management, surveyors are to explicitly indicate the expiry date of the certificate and survey schedule in the survey report cover sheet and RA (or KB) report and also to give memorandum items in the cover sheet of the survey report so as to provide the Department of the Headquarters in charge and the next boarding surveyor with accurate information. Reference as follows may be made for the memorandum items:

The anniversary date of Classification Surveys or Statutory Surveys amended in accordance with the requirements of the relevant convention or code, and the new date is ___________ (Month/Date, e.g.: September 12). Meanwhile, pay attention to the notes given in survey status form during implementation of surveys and board on ship to compare with ship certificates. Where any doubts, the surveyor is to contact the Classed Ship in Service Department of the Headquarters duly.

1.4.5.8  Amendment of the anniversary date of class survey will not request for the amendment for the period of validity of Classification Certificate and Statutory Certificate.

1.4.5.9  In the case of reissue for full-term certificate, if implemented amendment of anniversary date on original certificate and corresponding execution for anniversary date amendment on original full-term certificate, in regard of expiring date on certificate upon anniversary date amendment no longer anniversary date for measuring annual issue of certificate, in order to avoid interested parties’ (including PSC) queries, the fact of amended anniversary date on certificate is to be revealed on newly issued certificate; continual endorsement (according to original  endorsement date and place, and indicated above signing place for surveyor) may be carried out in  endorsement of certificate with amended anniversary date: For example “Re-endorsed according to the original endorsement which carried out on XXXXX at XXXXX port.”, and endorsed by current responsible surveyor.

1.4.6    Special considerations will be given by the Department of the Headquarters in charge for ships which the special survey period is not for five years.

1.4.7    In order to facilitate shipping company’s schedule and to save cost, in general, class survey and all of the following surveys provided by relevant statutory survey certificates are to follow the same survey anniversary date. Special conditions, if any, are determined by the  Department of the Headquarters in charge:

           1.  Load Line Certificate

           2.  Passenger Ship Safety Certificate

           3.  Ship Safety Construction Certificate

           4.  Ship Safety Equipment Certificate

           5.  Ship Safety Radio Certificate

           6.  High Speed Craft Safety Certificate

           7.  Ship Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate

          8.  International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk

          9.  International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate

         10.  International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate

         11.  International Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk

         12.  Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk

         13.  International Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Liquefied Gas in Bulk

         where:

        a)       Except for passenger ships, the annual/renewal survey for ship class and the above-mentioned annual and renewal surveys for Statutory Certificate are to be implemented following the same anniversary date.

        b)      Renewal surveys for passenger ships (including outside of ship’s bottom inspection) are to correspond to the annual surveys for ship class.

       c)       Docking survey/intermediate survey for ship class is to be implemented in conjunction with the outside of ship’s bottom inspection/intermediate survey required by Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate.

       d)      Docking survey for ship class and the outside of ship’s bottom inspection for passenger ship are to be implemented simultaneously.

1.4.8       Harmonization between docking survey and boiler survey

1.4.8.1    Periodical surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items

             When determining the interval of surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items, the following principles are to be in compliance with:

       (1)at least two surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items within one interval of special survey (i.e. special survey interval of Class Certificate or the renewal interval of Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate);

       (2) in no case is the period between two surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items to exceed 36 months.

           a.     The interval of surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related itemsfor cargo ships is to be in accordance with 5.1.3, II-C3A-5 of the Instructions.

           b.      Passenger ships

               Surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items for passenger ships is a part of the renewal surveys for Passenger Ship Safety Certificate. The date of the next survey is consistent with that of the next renewal survey for Passenger Ship Safety Certificate.

         c.      High speed passenger craft

               Surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items for high speed passenger craft is a part of the contents of High Speed Craft Safety Certificate. The date of the next survey is consistent with that of the periodical or renewal survey for High Speed Craft Safety Certificate.

              For the high speed craft sailing in Zhujiang waters at present, their inconsistent surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related itemsand annual surveys (periodical survey) are to be harmonized gradually in conjunction with surveys.

         d.    The surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items for classed passenger ship engaged in domestic voyages are to be implemented once every two years in conjunction with renewal surveys for Seaworthiness Certificate. The date of the next surveys of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items is the anniversary date of the survey for  Safety Certificate or the date of survey for renewal of Seaworthiness Certificate.

         e.    The date of survey of the outside of the ship’s bottom and related items for newbuildings is counted from the date of completion and certification, and date of issuance is date of undocking. Where the period from launching of the ship to the completion of survey exceeds 12 months, the ship is proposed for re-docking. Under-water survey may be used as substitution when conditions are available to confirm the under-water conditions of the ship. Upon the completion of surveys, statement is to be made in RA Report. If the applicant disagrees with it, the survey unit is to report to the Headquarters.

1.4.8.2    Boiler survey and steam pipe survey

           The interval period of boiler survey and steam pipe survey for CSA classified ships shall be in compliance with the requirements provided by 5.13.2 of Section 13 of Chapter 5 of Part 1 in Rules for Classification of sea-going Steel Ship issued by the Society; the interval period of boiler survey and steam pipe survey for CSAD classified ships shall be carried out in compliance with the requirements provided by 5.6.2 of Section 6 of Chapter 5 in Codes for Domestic Seagoing Ship Classification issued by the Society; the interval period of boiler survey and steam pipe survey for inland classified ships shall be carried out in compliance with the requirements provided by 5.4.6.3 of Section 4 of Chapter 5 in Codes for Inland Seagoing Ship Classification issued by the Society.

1.4.9    Harmonization of class special survey and extension of Statutory Certificate

            Except the special requirement of the Administration, and get the permit of the head quator, In particular cases, when ship’s special survey is expired and obtains postponement of class, the surveyor is to give an appropriate extension for the Statutory Certificate harmonized but not in excess of three months. That is to say, the postponement of period of validity date of the Certificate is not to exceed three months since the expiry date of the Certificate. It is to be noted that such postponement is generally only for   a ship arriving at the ports where special survey is to be implemented rather than for unconditional service of a ship which is granted with such postponement. In fact, the given postponement is only for single voyage (if deemed safe, it is to be considered to allow the ship arrives at the predetermined port via multiple ports). Therefore, the surveyor is to explicitly explain the conditions to the shipping company and the ship owner where such postponement is approved by the Headquarters.

(2)   Partial revision made in JTYSBL [2009] No. 14

(3)   Partial revision made in JTYSBL [2014] No. 14

1.2  Brief introduction

Regulations for Old Transport Ships (JTBL [2006] No.8) was adopted at the 7^th ministerial meeting of MOT on June 7, 2006 and implemented since August 1, 2006. Under this specification, old transport ships were defined and classified and requirements on purchase, bareboat charter, reconstructions and operation management were proposed. What is particularly noteworthy is that the requirements of mandatory special periodic survey and mandatory scrapping of old transport ships were specified in the specification.

The JTYSBL [2009] No. 14 was adopted at the 11^th ministerial meeting of MOT on November 25, 2009 and took effect from the date of promulgation. This Decree added the definition of Single Hull Oil Tanker and specified the elimination of the single hull oil tankers within deadline.

Decision on Revising "Regulations for Old Transport Ships" (JTYSBL [2014] No. 14) was adopted at the 7^th ministerial meeting of MOT on August 22, 2014 and took effect from the date of promulgation.

1.3  Scope of application

This specification is applicable to seagoing ships and riverboats possessing the nationality of the People's Republic of China and engaging in waterway transport.

1.4  Definition of old transport ship

Definitions and classes of old transport ships are shown in the following table:

1.5  Survey requirements on imported ships (purchase and bareboat charter of foreign ships)

1.5.1      These categories of old transport ships mentioned above are not allowed to be imported and then engaged in domestic waterway transport. The Society will not accept survey on these ships;

1.5.2      For initial survey of all kinds of imported ships accepted by the Society, Class  I, II or III ships shall be available of transport capacity approvals issued by MOT. The Society shall examine the original approvals of ships and save corresponding copies. For the other categories of ships, the ownership certificate of a ship shall be directly examined but not the transport capacity approval and then the ship survey certificate shall be dealt. The certificate of nationality shall be subsequently handled by the owner of the ship. The Society will verify the original certificate of nationality and save a corresponding copy.

1.5.3      For an imported oil tanker, its hull shall comply with the requirements specified in Annex Ⅰ (Rules for Prevention of Oil Pollution) to Final Act of International Conference on Marine Pollution, 1973 as Amended by Protocol of 1978.

1.6  Requirements on ship reconstruction

1.6.1      Regardless of whether the ships are old or not, Class IV or V ships are not allowed to be changed into ships of Class I, II or III for the purpose of waterway transport. None of Class I, II or III ships are not allowed to be changed into any other class for the purpose of waterway transport.

1.6.2      The reconstruction of old ships of Class I, II or III shall be equipped with the approval on change of transport capacity issued by competent department for transport. Reconstruction of old ships of all categories shall be managed according to the construction survey of the Society. For reconstructed old transport ships, the start date of reconstruction shall be indicated in the issued statutory certificate without changing the construction date of the ship. After reconstructed, if the class of the ship has changed, its age of ship for special periodic survey and that for mandatory scrapping shall apply to requirements applicable to the corresponding class of old transport ship after reconstruction.

1.7  Requirements for operational survey of old transport ships

1.7.1      If the use or navigating zone of the old transport ship is to be changed, the temporary survey on the ship must be applied for in the Society to examine the load line and the passenger carrying capacity, the ship construction and safety performances of the equipment. The total and net tonnages of the ship shall be re-measured if necessary.

1.7.2      When the old transport ship has reached its age for the special periodic survey (the specified age of the ship for this survey is shown in the table above), if it continues to bear waterway transport, its owner or operator shall apply for the special periodic survey in the Society within half a year before or after the ship reaches the age for the special periodic survey. The ship may continue to be used for waterway transport after passing the special periodic survey. In addition, after the expiry of one year since the first special periodic survey is conducted, the ship shall accept the special periodic survey once a year.

3.6  Matters needing attention

3.6.1      For new (including major reconstructed) non-classified ships whose keel was placed or commenced after Sep. 1^st, 2011

Tonnage review for this kind of ships includes full-scale review before launching, full-scale review before completion and calculation review. Field reviewing officers shall carry out review on site with field ship surveyors as much as possible, and specific methods can be determined in the joint working mechanism of both parties.

(1)   Full-scale review before launching: after completing corresponding inspections according to the existing procedures of the Society for such ships, units carrying out inspection shall collect complete approved drawings and calculating data (if any) of ship tonnage measurement required by “Detailed Rules” (HCJ [2011] No.490 issued by Maritime Administration, the same below) 7 working days before launching and apply for review before launching from corresponding safety technology branch centers in “measurement management system”, and send (or deliver personally) fax of application form (Appendix 1 to “Detailed Rules”) and drawing information to corresponding technology branch centers. Ship launching can be allowed only after review is qualified.

(2)   Full-scale review before completion: units carrying out inspection shall apply for review before completion with the corresponding safety technology branch centers in “measurement management system” or by fax, and shall send (or deliver personally) confirmed ship tonnage calculations and corresponding supplementary drawings to the ship safety technology branch centers 7 days before the expected ship completion date. Confirmation Letter for Ship Completion and Certificate Issuing (Appendix 6 to the “Detailed rules”) shall be filled out in a timely manner after receiving Feedback Form for the Review Information of Ship Tonnage (Appendix 4 of “Detailed rules”) for confirming the completion state.

(3)   Calculation review: calculation review before completion may be carried out ahead of full-scale review before completion. But if the dimension error of full-scale review before completion exceeds the specified range, then, calculation review before completion shall be carried out again.

3.6.2      For newly-built (including major reconstructed) non-classified ships whose keel was placed or commenced before Sep. 1st, 2011 but not yet inspected and issued by the Society by Sep. 1st, 2011:

(1)   Replacement application: units carrying out inspection shall propose certificate from corresponding safety technology branch centers before the completion of the construction (including major reconstruction) inspection of such ships, and issue inspection report (refer to Appendix 13 to “Detailed rules” and specify in remarks) and ship tonnage calculations.

(2)   Signing and issuing of “Tonnage Certificate for Temporary Ship”: technology branch center shall sing and issue “Tonnage Certificate for Temporary Ship” directly whose date of expiry is to the first docking survey of the ship according to the ship tonnage confirmed by Ship Survey Administration within 3 days after receiving review application.

(3) “Tonnage Certificate for Temporary Ship” shall be printed and sent to the shipowner remotely by the unit carrying out inspection.

(4)   All survey units of the Society shall apply for review by corresponding safety technology branch centers and submit corresponding materials when handling the first docking survey for such ships. Concrete materials shall be the same with the submitted materials of ships which are not applicable to direct certificate replacement among existing ships.

(5)   The full-scale review, calculation review, certificate replacing and certificating issuing of such ships are the same with the working procedures of ships which are not applicable to direct certificate replacement among existing ships.

3.6.3      For existing non-classified ships

(1)   Application of certificate replacement: application of shipowner or operator is unnecessary for the certificate replacement of “Tonnage Certificate for Ship” of such ships. All survey units of the Society handling such ships shall apply for certificate replacement by the corresponding safety technology branch center after the first docking inspection or certificate replacement inspection (whichever is earlier) after Jan. 1^st, 2012; and shall submit corresponding materials according to the corresponding requirements of “Detailed Rules” and different conditions.

For ships not applicable to direct certificate issuing, if hull length is 30m or above and there are no drawings, or  the drawings and data are incomplete or the ships and drawings are inconsistent, then each survey unit shall request the shipowner to provide the corresponding drawings, and send them to Plan Approving Department for approval after achieving consistency between ships and drawings. If hull length is below 30m and there are no drawings, or the drawings and data are incomplete or the ships and drawings are inconsistent, then a full-scale review shall be carried out directly by the safety technology branch center according to “Detailed Rules”.

(2)   The tonnage review for ships which are not applicable to direct certificate issuing include full-scale review and calculation review. Full-scale review shall be implemented at slipway or in the dock. Field ship surveyor shall decide the full-scale review time with reviewing officers according to the proceeding situation of field survey. If there is objection for review result after the completion of full-scale review, field ship surveyor shall determine the time to carry out full-scale review again with reviewing officers.

(3)   Full-scale review and calculation review are unnecessary for ships which are applicable to direct certificate issuing. Ship safety technology branch center may directly reissue a “Tonnage Certificate for Temporary Ship” with the validity period of 6 months and indicate that “The data recorded in the certificate is sourced from XXXXXX (Ship Survey Administration), ship tonnage certificate with issued No. XXXX” under the remarks column of the Certificate for ships which are applicable to direct certificate issuing after reviewing relevant materials.

3.6.4      For ships with original “Tonnage Certificate for Ship”, if certificate needs to be replaced due to change of ship name and port of registry before docking survey date or original “Tonnage Certificate for Ship” needs to be replaced due to damage or reissuing is required due to loss, technology branch center shall sign and issue “Tonnage Certificate for Temporary Ship” with the validity period expiring on the first docking survey date of the ship after receiving the certificate issuing application. All survey units of the Society shall apply for review by corresponding safety technology branch centers when handling the first docking survey for such ships. The full-scale review, calculation review, certificate replacing and certificate issuing for such ships are the same with the work procedures of the two cases (ships applicable and not applicable to direct certificate issuing) of existing ships.

3.6.5     

For domestic classified ships (ships with domestic inspection certificate of CSA and CSAD of the Society)

(1)   Survey units shall apply for review and certificate from Ship Safety Technology Center of China Maritime Safety Administration in “management system for ship tonnage measurement” 5 working days in advance according to the certificate issuing date estimated by survey units before completion and issuing certificate, after completing tonnage calculation and measurement review are confirmed according to the existing procedures of the Society for new internal navigation classified ships.

1    检验依据：

1.1        现场检验的检验依据有：公约、规范、规则、IACS 统一要求、统一解释、检验指南、程序文件、本社认可或接受的技术标准、通函，这些文件都不同程度地对检验提出了各种要求。

1.2        船舶入级检验是指由船级社或其代理人对拟取得或已经具有该船级社船级的船舶，依据船舶入级规范规定的检验范围和要求实施的检查和试验。其目的是为了查明受检船舶的结构强度、推进、操纵及辅助设备、系统和维护情况等是否符合入级规范的相关要求。

1.3        船舶的法定检验系指按照授权我社的船旗国政府所接受的国际公约和政府所颁布的法令、法规对船舶实行的检验。

1.4        规范制定的依据为IMO、ILO、IACS等所通过的有关公约、规则、决议、统一要求等适用部分。

1.4        在检验依据中，公约、规则、法规、规范、指南等外部文件是基础，是船舶检验时必须执行的标准；

1.5        IACS统一要求已被完全纳入我社《钢制海船入级规范》，应被视为入级检验依据之一；。 是针对与某项事件（与船级社的特定规范要求和常规操作有关）的批准决议，是规范制定的依据之一。统一要求一般在生效后一年内纳入规范；

1.6        IACS统一解释是为了执行IMO公约的要求，但由于公约相关条文用语模糊，为便于正确理解公约、规则而给予的解释，该部分内容已被纳入我社《法定检验实施指南》（第一部分）；

1.7        检验指南是对检验的某一方面进行的详细描述和具体指导，指导验船师检验中的具体做法；

1.8      《验船师须知》是对验船师提供各类服务的具体作法的描述，作为执行规范、公约要求的实施指导；

1.9      对于新的要求（包括新生效的公约、规则、IACS统一要求、统一解释、船旗国有关规定），可通过下发通函或技术通知的形式，来达到及时执行新要求的目的，待须知换版时纳入；通函下发一段时间后，通函内容可纳入规范、验船师须知或检验指南中去；

1.10      如在检验过程中，无法找到相应的检验依据（公约、规范、规则、指南、验船师须知等），可参考本社认可或接受的技术标准；

1.11       程序文件用于保证检验任务的顺利完成，原则上须知不包括非技术类程序要求。因程序文件修订后，须知的对应协调存在滞后，因此在执行过程中，如发现须知与程序不协调处，应以程序文件为准，并将相关情况反馈总部。

1.12      关于检验指导书在营运检验中的应用

            新建检验或重大改建检验完成后，考虑到船型新颖、高应力结构特点等因素，有些船舶会按照总部的要求编写检验指导书，这些具有检验指导书的船舶在内部检验信息表中会有内部备忘提示，检验前验船师可以按照内部备忘的提示从SSMIS系统中相关船舶的“DATA AND SURVEY”功能表的“SURVEY INSTRUCTING INFORMATION”功能中下载所需的检验指导书，并在现场检验中予以应用。

验船师应将检验指导书中提及的需关注的结构高应力区域或关键结构等与当前检验范围相对照，并在当前的检验范围中予以标识，在检验中对标识的需关注的关键结构的状况进行跟踪，必要时可将检验范围扩展至其它相关的关键结构。

验船师应在检验报告中提及对临界结构或需重点关注的项目的检验情况，必要时可以建议总部修订或增加检验指导书中的内容。

 

 

2           验船师须知与其他检验依据的关系：

2.1        《验船师须知》是对验船师提供各类服务的具体作法的描述，作为执行规范、公约要求的实施指导，是验船师登轮检验的重要指导性文件，明确验船师在检验中如何检验。

2.2        国际公约、规则、IACS 统一要求、统一解释以及本社规范阐述了船舶所应达到的法定和船级方面的要求，而如何对船舶进行检验确保达到这些要求呢？在《验船师须知》中对如何检验，检验哪些项目作出明确规定，统一所有验船师的检验标准。须知是现场验船师翻阅最多技术文件之一，其内容涵盖了检验技术要求指引和归纳，以及证书报告的填写等方面，力求将检验中应遵循的原则和容易忽视的问题均一一进行具体的阐述。

2.3        验船师须知中大多数内容就船级而言是对规范要求的具体实施方法，就法定而言是对公约、规则的适当的实施要求。须知的内容包括船级和法定两部分，包括了新造船舶检验规定和营运船舶检验规定。船级检验报告中包括有规范中的各项检验要求，法定检验报告则覆盖了公约、规则的各项要求，从而确保船舶在按照这些报告中的检验项目检验后能够证明符合船级和法定的各项要求。须知从检验要求入手，以船级社长期在检验中积累的经验为基础，将系统内各专业的专家的宝贵经验汇总而成，不但将检验管理的要求贯穿于其中，而且能够具体地对现场检验进行指导，使验船师在了解了规范公约的要求之后，还能通过须知学习到怎样通过检验手段确保船舶满足公约和规范的要求，了解各种类型船舶的特点和容易产生的问题，可以通过须知学会如何在检验中把握重点，从而抓住影响船舶安全的主要矛盾。可以说，须知是验船师的检验技能从初级走向成熟的桥梁，是体现船级社现场检验水准的重要的技术文件。

2.4       本须知作为我社执行规范、公约、规则、IACS技术性文件和授权船旗国政府要求的实施指导文件，旨在当验船师执行上述有关规定时，能对验船师正确理解、使用上述文件提供适当的指导和必要的技术支持。验船师在依据公约、规范、规则、指南等的要求进行检验时，根据适用情况使用本须知。

1.1 船舶入级检验

1.1.1   船舶入级，从根本上讲是实施船舶入级规范和规则，对船舶的结构强度和水密分隔、船舶的推进、操纵和辅助系统以及其它功能的相对安全性和可靠性进行客观、公正的评价，以促进船舶在海上安全航行和防止污染海域为目的，从多方面满足政府、船东、保险人、船厂、船用产品或材料生产厂的需要。

1.1.2   船舶入级检验是指由船级社或其代理人对拟取得或已经具有该船级社船级的船舶，依据船舶入级规则规定的检验范围和要求实施的检查和试验。其目的是为了查明受检船舶的结构强度、推进、操纵及辅助设备、系统和维护情况是否符合入级规则的相关要求。

1.1.3   船舶的船体、轮机包括电气设备和货物冷藏装置，如果符合本社入级与建造规范的要求，本社将授予相应的船级，并用相应的入级符号和附加标志来表示。

1.1.4   已经批准入级的船舶，如果要求继续保持本社授予的入级符号和附加标志，则必须遵守本社入级规则的有关规定。

1.1.5   任何可能影响所授入级符号和附加标志或证书有效的损坏、缺陷、故障或搁浅和修理，船东、经营公司和船长应及时向本社报告，类似影响船级的改装应事先得到本社的批准。

1.1.6 本社基于经验积累和研究成果所制定的规范，是新建船舶、也是营运中船舶保证适航和安全的可靠标准，必须遵照执行。

1.1.7    凡具有本社船级的船舶，将登入本社出版的船舶录。

1.1.8      船舶的船体和轮机（包括电气设备）是船级的共同组成部分，不应单独使用船体级或轮机级，特别是在给出检验日期的到期日时，轮机特别检验或轮机循环检验的完成检验的日期应与船体特别检验或船体循环检验的完成检验的日期一致。

 

1.4    检验的协调

1.4.1     由于74 SOLAS 78议定书和MARPOL 73/78公约的生效，检验周期被大致平分并且引入了新的检验类型。这就意味，500总吨或以上的国际航行船在5年周期内，为了保持船级、载重线、构造安全、设备安全、无线电安全、防油污和起货设备证书的有效性，要求至少进行30多次的检验。

为了避免验船师在短期内多次登轮检验，应尽可能协调（包含）尽量多的检验。因此船东应充分利用船级和法定检验的检验窗口，以便在一年的同一时间完成尽量多的检验。检验的协调可减少船东的费用。

1.4.2     除非船旗国有特殊要求，根据国际海事组织缔约国大会通过的A.883（21）号决议要求，所有国际航行的、属于该《指南》覆盖的公约或规则适用范畴的船舶，应实施检验发证协调系统（HSSC---Harmonized System of Survey and Certification），在检验及签发或签署法定证书时，应符合协调系统的要求。

1.4.3   营运船舶在进行各种保持船级检验的同时，若业经授权，可同时进行相关法定证书规定的检验。

1.4.5   检验周年日

1.4.5.1  船级管理人员或执行检验的验船师应注意与船东进行检验日期的协调，尽量使船级检验与法定检验的周年日、船级特别检验的到期日与法定证书的到期日一致，以保持船级检验与法定检验一致。

1.4.5.2 螺旋桨轴和艉轴检验可不参与检验协调。

1.4.5.3 检验周年日的确定

验船师应注意对检验周年日的判断。

一般情况下，检验周年日就是全期证书的到期日对应的每年的该月该日。对于新建船舶，全期证书的到期日为交船日期加5年减1天，例如：交船日期为2014年7月2日，则全期证书的到期日为2019年7月1日。如果船舶的年度、中间、或定期检验在规定的日期窗口前（即周年日的前3个月之前）完成，则检验的周年日应进行相应的修正。

修正检验周年日的目的，主要是为了保证各类定期检验的实施不超过规定的期限，例如：任何相邻的两次年度检验（或其中一次为中间检验/定期检验）完成日期间隔应不超过18个月。

修正检验周年日时，不必修正证书的到期日期，但需要在法定证书签证栏相应的两部分进行签署。

1.4.5.4 年度检验、中间检验提前时周年日的修正

如果年度检验或中间检验在全期证书周年日前3个月之前完成，则新的检验周年日为检验完成之日+3个月减一天。这种情况下，船公司为了保持换证检验日期不变，可以在适当时间增加一次年度检验。如在可增加的年度检验窗口内开始进行换证检验，可视为修改周年日的年检与换证检验同时进行，该次换证检验完成日如在原长期证书有效期前三个月窗口开始之后，且公约规定的检验最长间隔期没有超过，检验完成后，新的长期证书有效期为原长期证书有效期加5年。例如：

（1）对国际航行海船，某船协调系统证书于2004年10月22日到期（有效期5年），2002年2月10日完成了中间检验，则：

a. 新的检验周年日为：5月9日

b.证书有效期仍然是2004年10月22日，随后的检验安排为：

a)                       第四次年检：2003年2月10日至8月8日（该日期应在中间检验时填写在FC报告面页中“Next Survey”栏内），

b)                       换证日期仍然是2004年10月22日（换证日期应分别在上次中间和年度检验时填写在报告面页中“Next Survey”栏）；

c. 船公司可作以下选择：

a)                        执行上述检验安排，将换证检验提前到2004年7月22日前完成，新的长期证书有效期将按照检验完成日加五年计算或

b)                        在2004年2月10日至2004年8月8日之间增加一次年度检验，将换证检验日期恢复到2004年10月22日。

c)                        如船东直接完成换证检验，检验开始日不晚于2004年8月8日（可增加的年度检验后3个月窗口），完成日不早于2004年7月23日（换证检验前3个月窗口），新的长期证书有效期将按照原长期证书有效期加5年计算。

1.4.5.5 是否需要修正周年日，验船师应提醒船公司做出选择，并依据船公司的选择对以后的检验做出安排，并用RA报告加以说明。

1.4.5.6 船公司可能根据船舶的航运和修船计划调整船舶的检验周年日。因此，各检验单位应及时将船公司的申请报告总部入级处，以便及时做出相应的检验安排，并通知船公司。

1.4.5.7 由于检验周年日修正后与证书的到期日不一致，为了避免在检验管理出现混淆，验船师应在检验报告面页和RA报告中清楚表达证书的到期日期和检验安排。

       对国际航行海船需要另外在检验报告面页中给出备忘项目，以便给总部主管部门和下一位登轮验船师提供正确的信息，备忘项目可参照下面的内容：

       The anniversary date of Classification Surveys or Statutory Surveys amended in accordance with the requirements of the relevant Convention or Code, and the new date is ______________________.(月日，如September 12

同时，在检验中更要注意检验信息表中给出的提示，并登轮对照船舶证书。如有怀疑时，应及时与总部相关业务处室联系。

1.4.5.8 船级检验周年日的修正，不必对入级证书和法定证书的有效期进行修正。

1.4.5.9 对于国际航行船舶，全期证书需要重新签发，如果原证书已经对周年日做了修改，并在原长期证书上相应做了周年日修改的签署，考虑到修订周年日以后证书上的到期日不再是衡量证书年度签证的周年日，为了防止PSC等相关方对证书提出质疑，应在新签发证书上体现出证书周年日已经过修改的事实；可在修订周年日的证书签证栏中继续做出签署，按照原签署日期和地点进行签署，验船师签字处的上方注明：如“Re-endorsed according to the original endorsement which carried out on XXXXX at XXXXX port.”，由当前担当验船师进行签署。

1.4.6   对于特检周期不是5年的船舶，由总部主管部门特别考虑。

1.4.7   为了方便船公司的安排、节省费用，在一般情况下，船级检验与以下各有关法定检验证书规定的检验均应遵循同一个检验周年日，特殊情况时，由总部主管部门决定：

（1）       船舶载重线证书

（2）       客船安全证书

（3）       船舶构造安全证书

（4）       船舶设备安全证书

（5）       船舶无线电安全证书

（6）       高速船安全证书

（7）       国际防止船舶油类污染证书

（8）       国际防止散装运输有毒液体物质污染证书

（9）       国际防止生活污水污染证书

（10）    国际防止空气污染证书

（11）  国际散装运输危险化学品适装证书

（12）    散装运输危险化学品适装证书

（13）    国际散装运输液化气适装证书。

其中

（1）       除客船以外，船级的年度/换证检验与上述法定证书的年度和换证检验应循同一个周年日进行；

（2）       客船的换证检验（包括船底外部检查）与船级的年度检验一一对应；

（3）       船级坞内检验/中间检验与货船构造安全证书要求的船底外部检查/中间检验应同时进行；

（4）       船级的坞内检验与客船的船底外部检查同时进行。

1.4.8  协调船底外部及有关项目的检验和锅炉检验

1.4.8.1 船底外部及有关项目的检验

在确定船底外部及有关项目的检验间隔期时应遵循如下原则：

（1）   在一个特别检验间隔期（即入级证书的特别检验周期或货船构造安全证书的换证周期） 

内，应不少于两次船底外部及有关项目的检验；

（2）   在任何情况下两次船底外部及有关项目的检验间隔期不得超过36个月。

 a. 对货船的船底外部及有关项目的检验间隔周期应按照本须知II-C3A-5第5.1.3条要求执行。

 b. 客船：

客船的船底外部及有关项目的检验为客船安全证书换证检验的一部分，下次检验日期应与客船安全证书下次换证检验日期一致。

 c. 高速客船

高速船的船底外部及有关项目的检验为高速船安全证书的一部分，下次船底外部及有关项目的检验日期应与高速安全证书的定期检验或换证检验日期一致。

对于目前航行于珠江水域的坞检与年度检验（定期检验）不同步进行的高速船，应结合检验逐步完成船底外部及有关项目的检验与年度检验的协调。

 d. 国内航行入级客船

船底外部及有关项目的检验每两年进行一次,也应结合适航证书换证检验进行. 其下次船底外部及有关项目的检验应为下次安全证书的检验周年日或适航证书的换证检验日期。

 e.   新造船船底外部及有关项目的检验日期从完工发证日期算起，签发日期为出坞日期。对于下水到检验完成日之前间隔超过12个月，建议重新进坞，如条件具备，也可采用水下检验代替，以对船舶水下部分的状况进行确认，检验完成后，应在RA报告中说明，如申请方不同意上述做法，执行检验单位应上报总部。

 

1.4.8.2 锅炉检验及蒸汽管检验

1.4.8.2.1 CSA入级船舶锅炉和蒸汽管的检验的间隔期应按照我社《钢制海船入级规范》第1篇第5章第13节5.13.2的要求执行；

 1）营运检验中锅炉检验的安排:

      A. 特别检验间隔期为5年的货船：

        a. 在一个入级证书有效期内第一次锅炉检验完成后，则下次锅炉检验日期应为检验完成日期+36个月，但不能超过下次入级证书的到期日；

     b. 在一个入级证书有效期内第二次锅炉检验完成后，则下次锅炉检验日期应为检验完成日期+36个月，且不能进行展期。

      c. 当特检展期（需经总部同意）时，锅炉检验可一同展期，但无论如何，应满足两次锅炉检验间隔期不超过36个月；

      B. 如现场验船师检验时发现锅炉状况不良，可采取降压使用、缩短检验周期等措施;

    C. 如有疑问时，请及时联系总部营运入级处。

          2）在新造船检验时，下次锅炉检验时间应为检验发证日期+36个月。

1.4.8.2.2 在确定货船蒸汽管检验间隔期时应遵循如下原则：

1）直径超过76mm，工作温度不超过450℃的蒸汽管，自其制造或安装之日10 年以后，每5 年进行一次检验;

2）以及直径超过76mm 铜管和铜合金蒸汽管自其制造或安装之日10 年以后，每5 年进行一次检验；

3）直径超过76mm，工作温度超过450℃的蒸汽管，自其制造或安装之日5年以后，每5年进行一次检验

1.4.9   船级特别检验与法定证书展期的协调：

除船旗国主管机关有特别规定外，经请示总部主管部门，特殊情况下，当船舶的特别检验到期并获准船级展期时，验船师应注意同时对参与协调的法定证书给予相应的展期，但不得超过3个月。也即延长证书的有效期自证书的期满日期不超过3个月。需要说明的是，这种展期通常只限于船舶驶抵预定进行特别检验的港口，并不允许船舶在获得上述展期后，无条件地进行营运。实际上所给予的展期是单航次的（如认为安全时，也可考虑接受经停多港到达预定检验的港口）。因而在经总部批准进行这一展期时，验船师应向船方和船东将这一点交待清楚。

 

1.5审图与现场检验的协调

1.5.1  本社的审图部门与现场检验单位对外均代表着本社的统一形象。为了提高工作效率，避免审图与现场检验环节的脱节，现场检验单位应按照《船舶图纸审查程序》（WPPA704）、《建造船舶检验管理程序》(WPNB701)和《重大改装船舶检验管理程序》（WPNB702）等程序文件尽可能加强与审图部门协调。

I-C 检验请示程序及文件要求

1     检验请示程序：

1.1        要遵循程序文件WPSS701“营运入级船舶检验管理程序”(总部营运入级处)、WPNB701“建造船舶检验程序”、WPNB702“重大改装船舶检验管理程序”（总部船舶建造处）和WPDS706“游艇型式检验及后续建造检验程序”的有关规定。

1.2        如验船师在检验时发现不属本次检验范围的缺陷，也应进行检验并报告。另外如发现应提交的检验，如海损，修理或更换重要部件而未提交，应要求船东提交检验申请，并应及时报告。

   

1.3    对本须知未明确要求的船级或法定备忘的给出，一般应首先请示并征得总部业务部门批准。

1.4    对500总吨及以上在中国登记和拟在中国登记的海船的建造及重大改建，验船师应注意对船舶建造重要日期的确定（安放龙骨日期及完工日期），提醒船东或建造厂及时协调有关部门、相关方到场确认，签署后的《船舶重要日期确认书》（格式I及格式II）应存于检验单位船卷中。具体要求按《关于印发<船舶建造重要日期记录管理规定>的通知》（海船检【2010】475号）办理。

5.2 文件处理：

循环检验项目展期检验完成后，应签发KB报告，描述展期检验的内容。

6   法定证书换证检验

6.1 展期规定：

（1）        对国内航行船舶法定证书换证检验的展期，一般情况下，在证书到期日前的1个月内，接受船东的展期申请。应船东申请，经二级分社同意，当船级特别检验获准展期时，相应的法定证书可给予最长不超过3个月的展期。对于所有国内船舶法定证书的展期需签发新证书。

（2）        需要说明的是：这种展期通常只限于船舶驶抵预定进行特别检验的港口，并不允许船舶在获得上述展期后，无条件和无限度地进行营运，而且所给予的展期实际上是单航次有效的（如认为安全时，也可考虑接受经停多港到达预定检验的港口）。因此检验单位在进行展期现场检验前，应首先评估船东的展期申请，注意判断所申请的展期时限和展期后拟停靠的港口是否能够满足以上的要求，如认为不能，可直接拒绝展期的申请。

（3）    如果船东申请的法定证书展期日期超过3个月，或其他法规、规程未明确的展期，分社应报总部，由总部报部海事局批准后执行。

（4）        但以下情况时，不允许展期或给予宽限期：

a. 证书已经进行过展期；

b. 有重大缺陷且不能及时消除时；

c. 船公司无适当展期理由时；

d. 当现场检验认为不适宜给予展期或宽限期时；
