8 Reporting and evaluation of survey

Parent topic: Part A - Guidelines on the Enhanced Programme of Inspections During Surveys of Double Hull Oil Tankers

8.1 Evaluation of survey report

  8.1.1 The data and information on the structural condition of the ship collected during the survey should be evaluated for acceptability and continued structural integrity of the ship.

  8.1.2 In case of oil tankers of 130 m in length and upwards (as defined in the International Convention on Load Lines in force), the ship's longitudinal strength should be evaluated by using the thickness of structural members measured, renewed and reinforced, as appropriate, during the renewal survey of safety construction carried out after the ship reached 10 years of age, in accordance with the criteria for longitudinal strength of the ship's hull girder for oil tankers specified in annex 12.

  8.1.3 The analysis of data should be carried out and endorsed by the Administration and the conclusions of the analysis should form a part of the condition evaluation report.

  8.1.4 The final result of the evaluation of the ship's longitudinal strength required in 8.1.2, after renewal or reinforcement work of structural members, if carried out as a result of initial evaluation, should be reported as a part of the condition evaluation report.

8.2 Reporting

  8.2.1 Principles for survey reporting are shown in annex 8.

  8.2.2 When a survey is split between different survey stations, a report should be made for each portion of the survey. A list of items examined and/or tested (pressure testing, thickness measurements etc.) and an indication of whether the item has been credited, should be made available to the next attending surveyor(s), prior to continuing or completing the survey.

  8.2.3 A condition evaluation report of the survey and results should be issued to the owner as shown in annex 9 and placed on board the ship for reference at future surveys. The condition evaluation report should be endorsed by the Administration.
