2.1.1 For all ships
the Special Survey may be carried out on a continuous basis. All requests
to carry out such surveys must be referred to the LR Naval liaison
office with a proposal from the Owner for the programme of survey.
2.1.2 Examination
and testing of hull items is to be arranged such that equal portions
of the complete Special Survey are carried out each year and each
item is surveyed at intervals of not more than the agreed Special
Survey cycle.
2.1.3 The survey
cycle of the individual survey item will be agreed, in the first instance
between the Owner/Naval Authority, LR Naval liaison office and Classification
Committee, from the Master List of Surveyable Items. Thereafter, details
of the survey cycle are indicated in either the survey status or as
indicated in the quarterly listing issued to the Owner/Naval Authority.
2.1.4 Where a Continuous
Survey is approved, the first cycle should not be commenced until
the previous Special Survey has been completed.
