ITEM 003 SURVEYS AND INSPECTIONS

ABSTRACT

It is the intent of this item to provide coordination and scheduling of USCG inspections and ABS surveys during the performance of service. The ship is not in an Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) with the US Coast Guard (as defined by 46 CFR, Part 8 Subchapter D). For this reason, witnessing of all inspections and surveys related to this service must be offered to the US Coast Guard as well as ABS. As this is a Public Nautical School Ship, there will be no attendance charges by USCG. ABS inspection fees shall be the responsibility of MARAD except when an inspection or survey has failed resulting from the Contractor's lack of preparation and planning.

In those instances, the ABS survey fees associated with the subsequent visit shall be borne by the contractor. The Contractor, to the best of his ability, shall condense required ABS/USCG inspections to limit the number of attendances required by Surveyors/Inspectors.
