(A) 25% of shell frames in the forward cargo hold at representative positions

(A) Selected frames in remaining cargo holds

(B) One transverse web with associated plating and longitudinals in two representative water ballast tanks of each type (i.e. topside, or hopper side tank)

(C) Two selected cargo hold transverse bulkheads, including internal structure of upper and lower stools, where fitted

(D) All cargo hold hatch covers and coamings (plating and stiffeners)

(A) All shell frames in the forward cargo hold and 25% of shell frames in each of the remaining cargo holds including upper and lower end attachments and adjacent shell plating

(A) For bulk carriers of 100,000 dwt and above, all shell frames in the forward cargo hold and 50% of shell frames in each of the remaining cargo holds, including upper and lower end attachments and adjacent shell plating.

(B) One transverse web with associated plating and longitudinals in each water ballast tank

(B) Forward and aft transverse bulkhead in one ballast tank, including stiffening system

(C) All cargo hold transverse bulkheads, including internal structure of upper and lower stools, where fitted

(D) All cargo hold hatch covers and coamings (plating and stiffeners)

(E) All deck plating and under deck structure inside line of hatch openings between all cargo hold hatches

(A) All shell frames in the forward and one other selected cargo hold and 50% of frames in each of the remaining cargo holds, including upper and lower end attachments and adjacent shell plating

(B) All transverse bulkheads in ballast tanks, including stiffening system

(B) All transverse webs with associated plating and longitudinals in each water ballast tank

Areas (C), (D), and (E) as for renewal survey No.2

(A) All shell frames in all cargo holds including upper and lower end attachments and adjacent shell plating.

Areas (B)–(E) as for renewal survey No. 3

       
(A) Cargo hold transverse frame.
(B) Transverse web or watertight transverse bulkhead in water ballast tanks.
(C) Cargo hold transverse bulkhead platings, stiffeners and girders.
(D) Cargo hold hatch covers and coamings. For cargo hold hatch covers of approved design which structurally have no access to the internals, close-up survey/thickness measurement shall be done of accessible parts of hatch covers' structures.
(E) Deck plating inside line of hatch openings between cargo hold hatches.
See sketches of appendices 3 to annexes 8A and 8B for areas corresponding to (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E).
See also sketch in annex 15 for zones of side shell frames for ships subject to compliance with resolution MSC.168(79).
       

Note: Close-up survey of transverse bulkheads to be carried out at four levels:

Level (a) Immediately above the inner bottom and immediately above the line of gussets (if fitted) and shedders for ships without lower stool.

Level (b) Immediately above and below the lower stool shelf plate (for those ships fitted with lower stools), and immediately above the line of the shedder plates.

Level (c) About mid-height of the bulkhead.

Level (d) Immediately below the upper deck plating and immediately adjacent to the upper wing tank, and immediately below the upper stool shelf plate for those ships fitted with upper stools, or immediately below the topside tank.
