​​​​​​​Hull inspection requirements - general. The Contractor must survey the entire U/W body of the vessel to inspect for abnormal conditions or situations, which may include, but not be limited to the below-listed.

• Hull plating and appendage damages.
• Coating system defects or failures.
• Welding corrosion and erosion.
• Deformation in appendages.
• Zinc performance.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Hull plating. The Contractor must inspect the exterior condition of the hull for presence of marine growth, deformation, and any evidence of major corrosion or electrolytic action. Inspect for deformation along the stem and keel areas, condition of butt-welded seams, doubler plates, lap seams, and any signs of damaged plating or unusual waviness in the plating.

​​​​​​​Coating system inspection. The Contractor must inspect the condition of the U/W body coating system, for signs of the following:

• Peeling.
• Blistering.
• Abrasion.

Use the guidelines provided in Table I (Paint Deterioration Ratings (PDR) for Antifouling/Anticorrosion (AF/AC) Paint System) and Table 2 (Fouling Ratings (FR) In Order of Increasing Severity) to assist in proper documentation of the coating system degradation and fouling rate, respectively.

All forms of fouling present, Soft and Hard, particularly soft sedentary animals without calcareous covering (tunicates) growing over various forms of hard growth.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Sea chests and other hull penetrations. The Contractor must accomplish the following:

• Inspect all sea chests and other hull penetrations for signs of any obstructions/marine growth in the openings that might prevent proper suction and discharge of water.
• Inspect for bare metal areas (surrounding penetrations) and for bare metal pitting.
• Inspect for general appearance, loose, damaged, or missing grates, loose or missing fasteners, condition of sea strainers and lockwire on bolt.

Place linear measuring devices, as applicable, in the field of view when videotaping hull damages, to provide scale for these damages.

​​​​​​​Documentation submission. Within 24 hours after the completion of the diver inspection, The Contractor must do the following:

Submit a CFR indicating the amount of recommended U/W body surface cleaning, if any.

1. Submit both, the written and audio-video reports to the COR. Submit the audio-video report on two digital video discs (DVD) formatted to USCG requirements.
2. Ensure that all video equipment have the following characteristics/functions:
   1. Remote video/sound recorder.
   2. Suitability for underwater use.
   3. Auto-focus and auto-exposure.
   4. Color pictures.
   5. Two-way communication devices, to allow for communication and recording of communications between the diver operating the video camera and the Person-in-Charge, COR, and Coast Guard Inspector.
   6. Audio/visual cables long enough to transmit the video picture and two-way communications to the recorder and monitor.
   7. Online video monitor large enough, to allow the Person-in-Charge, the COR, and the Coast Guard Inspector to observe the video picture.
   8. Sufficient lighting to ensure a quality color video picture and depth of field.
   9. A yardstick or other suitable linear measuring device with clear measurement marks which can be read from the monitor.

Closely monitor the video and sound quality during the survey, to ensure that the pictures on the monitor and the communication sounds remain of high quality. When either video or audio quality deteriorates, ensure that the survey is temporarily halted, until all problems have been corrected.

​​​​​​​Hull cleaning requirements. Contractor must employ suitable means to clean the designated U/W body surfaces free of all marine growth, debris, and all other surface contaminants. The Contractor must ensure the following as per the SOW

Ensure that existing U/W body coating system or non-coated surfaces do not incur any damage during cleaning process.

​​​​​​​Renew UW Zinc Anodes. The contractor must renew U/W zinc anodes ensuring not to damage hull components during renewal process.
