Section 1 Repair guidance notes

Parent topic: Chapter 15 Repairs

1.1 General

1.1.1 All repairs are to be carried out to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. Therefore, in the first instance, the Surveyor should be satisfied that the ship repairers possess the necessary capabilities to achieve the required standard of workmanship.

1.1.2 For locations where adequate repair facilities are not immediately available, consideration may be given to allow the ship to proceed directly to a suitable repair facility. Under certain circumstances, this may require temporary repairs for the intended voyage.

1.1.3 Damages or wastage which are considered by the attending Surveyor to not immediately affect the ship’s structural integrity may be temporarily repaired and a suitable Condition of Class imposed.

1.1.4 When it is proposed that significant structural repairs are to be carried out afloat at the repair yard, the Surveyor should advise the Owner that consideration must be given to maintaining the longitudinal and transverse strength of the ship.

1.1.5 Consideration must also be given to the affect of any repair on machinery installations and ship’s systems.
