4.1 If the IWS reveals damage, deterioration or
other conditions that require early attention or which can only be
assessed reliably out of water, the surveyor may require that the
ship be dry-docked in order that a fuller survey can be undertaken
and the necessary work carried out. If the condition of the hull is
such that it may cause corrosion damages affecting the ship's hull
integrity and strength before the next survey, suitable repairs should
be carried out.
4.2 The Administration should be informed of the
results of all in-water surveys.
