1 Preamble

1.1 Scope

1.1.1 The present survey programme covers the minimum extent of overall surveys, close-up surveys, thickness measurements and pressure testing within the cargo length area, cargo holds, ballast tanks, including fore and aft peak tanks, required by the Code.

1.1.2 The arrangements and safety aspects of the survey shall be acceptable to the attending surveyor(s).

1.2 Documentation

All documents used in the development of the survey programme shall be available on board during the survey as required by section 6.

2 Arrangement of cargo holds, tanks and spaces

This section of the survey programme shall provide information (either in the form of plans or text) on the arrangement of cargo holds, tanks and spaces that fall within the scope of the survey.

3 List of cargo holds, tanks and spaces with information on their use, extent of coatings and corrosion prevention system

This section of the survey programme shall indicate any changes relating to (and shall update) the information on the use of the holds and tanks of the ship, the extent of coatings and the corrosion prevention system provided in the survey planning questionnaire.

4 Conditions for survey

This section of the survey programme shall provide information on the conditions for survey, e.g. information regarding cargo hold and tank cleaning, gas freeing, ventilation, lighting, etc.

5 Provisions and method of access to structures

This section of the survey programme shall indicate any changes relating to (and shall update) the information on the provisions and methods of access to structures provided in the survey planning questionnaire.

6 List of equipment for survey

This section of the survey programme shall identify and list the equipment that will be made available for carrying out the survey and the required thickness measurements.
