Part 7 Survey After Construction Chapter 4 Drydocking Surveys Section 1 Survey Requirements

1 All Vessels (2004) (1 July 2018) (2005) When a vessel is in drydock or on a slipway, it is to be placed on blocks of sufficient height and with the necessary staging to permit the examination of the following items which are to be cleaned, as necessary, and examined together with appendages, as applicable, and placed in satisfactory condition:

Keeli.

Stern frameii.

(2008) Bottom Plug arrangementsiii.

Hull Plating. The hull plating is to be examined for excessive corrosion, or deterioration due to chafing or contact with the ground and for any undue unfairness or buckling. Plate unfairness or other deterioration which does not necessitate immediate repairs is to be recorded.

iv.

Visible parts of the rudder. If considered necessary by the Surveyor, the rudder is to be lifted. For flap rudders, the hinge and link system are to be examined.

v.

(2005) Visible parts of rudder shafts and couplingsvi.

Rudder pintles and gudgeons together with their respective securing arrangements. Inspection plates are to be removed for the examination of pintles and securing arrangements unless alternate means, such as an inspection port, have been provided.

vii.

Rudder pressure test as deemed necessary by the Surveyorviii.

Rudder bearing clearances are to be ascertained and reported onix.

(2014) Propeller nozzlex.

Exposed parts of the stern bearing and seal assembly. (See Note below.)xi.

The stern bearing clearance or weardown is to be ascertained and reported on. (See Note below.)xii.

(1 July 2015) Visible parts of the propeller. Each taper fitted propeller hub with greater than 10 years of service life is to be examined by a surface crack-detection method at each out of the water drydocking, or whenever the propeller is removed for any reason.

xiii.

Controllable pitch propeller hub fastenings and tightness. (See Note below.)xiv.

Controllable pitch propeller blade fastenings and tightness. (See Note below.)xv.

The efficiency of the oil gland, if fitted, is to be ascertained and reported on. (See Note below.)xvi.

Bilge keels, with special attention paid to the connection between the bilge strakes and the bilge keelsxvii.

(1 July 2014) Visible parts of athwartship thrusters are to be examined. Other propulsion systems which also have maneuvering characteristics (such as directional propellers, vertical axis propellers, water jet units) are to be examined externally with focus on the condition of gear housing, propeller blades, bolt locking and other fastening arrangements. Sealing arrangement of propeller blades, propeller shaft and steering column shall be verified.

xviii.

Sea chests and their gratingsxix.

(2005) Sea connections and overboard discharge valves and cocks, including their attachments to the hull or sea chests, are to be externally examined. Valves and cocks need not be opened up more than once in a Special Periodical Survey period unless considered necessary by the Surveyor.

xx.

All nonmetallic expansion pieces in the sea-water cooling and circulating systems are to be externally examined xxi.

Nonmetallic expansion pieces in the main sea-water circulating systems are to be examined both externally and internally when vessel is examined on drydock xxii.

(1 July 2015) Special attention is to be paid to all weldments of the ESD (energy saving device) in-way-of its connection to the hull or rudder blade plating as applicable.

xxiii.

(1 July 2015) The exposed steel of the tailshaft is to be protected from the action of the water by filling all spaces between cap, hub and shaft with a suitable material. Once the cap/cone is installed, bolts are to be tightened, visually examined and are to be secured using a locking mechanism.
