4 Survey findings

  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.
