9.1 Evaluation of survey report

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

9.1.1.1 For bulk carriers built under the IACS Common Structural Rules, the ship's longitudinal strength shall be evaluated by using the thickness of structural members measured, renewed and reinforced, as appropriate, during the renewal surveys carried out after the ship reached 15 years of age (or during the renewal survey No.3, if this is carried out before the ship reaches 15 years) in accordance with the criteria for longitudinal strength of the ship's hull girder for bulk carriers, specified in the IACS Common Structural Rules.

9.1.1.2 The final result of the evaluation of the ship's longitudinal strength required in paragraph 9.1.1.1, after renewal or reinforcement work of structural members, if carried out as a result of initial evaluation, shall be reported as a part of the condition evaluation report (executive hull summary report).

  9.2.3 A condition evaluation report (executive hull summary report) of the survey and results shall be issued to the owner as shown in annex 7 and placed on board the ship for reference at future surveys.
