Foreword
This Guide contains requirements obtained from IACS Unified Requirement, UR Z23 Hull Survey
for New Construction. For the convenience of the users, the various cross-references to the relevant
ABS Rules and Guides are provided in addition to those for IACS documents. These IACS documents,
UR, UI (Unified Interpretation) and Recommendation, are available from www.iacs.org.uk.
The effective date of this Guide is 1 January 2008 and it is applicable for vessels contracted for
construction on or after 1 January 2008.

Scope
The scope of this Guide includes the following:
i)
Examination of the parts of the vessel covered by the Rules and by applicable statutory regulations
for hull construction, to obtain appropriate evidence that they have been built in compliance
with the Rules and regulations, taking account of the relevant approved drawings.
ii)
iii)
Witnessing inspections and tests as required in the Rules applicable for ship construction,
including materials, welding and assembling, specifying the items to be examined and/or tested
and how (e.g., by hydrostatic, hose or leak testing, nondestructive examination, verification of
geometry) and by whom.
Appraisal of materials and equipment used for ship construction and their inspection at works is not
included in this Guide. Details of requirements for hull and machinery steel forgings and castings and
for normal and higher strength hull structural steel are given in Section 2-1-6, Section 2-1-5 and
Sections 2-1-2 and 2-1-3, respectively, of the ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2). Acceptance
of these items is verified through the survey process carried out at the manufacturers works and the
issuing of the appropriate certificates.
Definitions
2.1
Hull Structure
The hull structure is defined as follows:
2.2
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
All penetrations fitted and welded into bulkheads, decks and shell
vi)
The fittings of all connections to decks, bulkheads and shell, such as air pipes and ship side
valves all ILLC 1966, as amended, items
vii)
Welded attachments to shell, decks and primary members (e.g., crane pedestals, bitts and
bollards), but only as regards their interaction on the hull structure
Documents
Reference to documents also includes electronic transmission or storage.
2.3
Survey Methods
Definition of survey methods which the Surveyor is directly involved in: Patrol, Review and Witness:
2.3.1
Patrol
Patrol is the act of checking on an independent and unscheduled basis that the applicable
processes, activities and associated documentation of the shipbuilding functions identified in
Table 1 continue to conform with classification and statutory requirements.
2.3.2
Review
Review is the act of examining documents in order to determine traceability and identification
and to confirm that processes continue to conform with classification and statutory requirements.
2.3.3
Witness
Witness is attendance of scheduled survey items as defined within the shipbuilding functions.

Locations of Construction
This Guide applies to the hull structures constructed at any of the following:
i)
Shipbuilders facilities
ii)
iii)
5.1
Items to be Surveyed
Table 1 provides a list of surveyable items for the hull structure covered by this Guide, including:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
The shipbuilder is to provide the Surveyors access to documentation required for classification.
This includes documentation retained by the shipbuilder or other third parties.
The list of documents approved or reviewed by the Bureau for the specific new construction
are as follows:
a)
b)
c)
NDE plans
d)
e)
f)
g)
Welders qualification records (See 2-4-3/7 of the ABS Rules for Materials and
Welding)
h)
vi)
Documents to be inserted into the ship construction file. Refer to Section 10 for details.
vii)
A list of specific activities which are relevant to the shipbuilding functions. This list is not
exhaustive and can be modified to reflect the construction facilities or specific vessel type.
5.2
Where the Bureau has none or no recent experience of the construction facilities (typically
after a one year lapse) or when significant new infrastructure has been added
ii)
Where there has been a significant management or personnel restructuring having an impact
on the ship construction process
iii)
* Note:
7.1
Kick-off Meeting
Prior to commencing any newbuilding project, the Bureau is to discuss with the shipbuilder at a kickoff meeting the items listed in Table 1. The purpose of the meeting is to agree how the list of specific
activities shown in Table 1 is to be addressed.
The meeting is to take into account the shipbuilders construction facilities and vessel type and deals
with subcontractors if it is known that the builder proposes to use them. The shipyard is to be
informed of likely intervals for sampling and patrol activities. A record of the meeting is to be made,
based upon the contents of the Table (the Table can be used as the record with comments made into
the appropriate column).
If the Bureau has nominated a Surveyor for a specific newbuilding project, then the Surveyor is to
attend the kick-off meeting. The builder is to be asked to agree to undertake ad hoc investigations
during construction where areas of concern arise and to keep the Bureau advised of the progress of
any investigation.
Whenever an investigation is undertaken, the builder is to be requested, in principle, to agree to suspend
relevant construction activities if warranted by the severity of the problem.
7.2
7.3
7.4
7.5
7.6
Proposals for the examination of completed steelwork (generally referred to as the block plan)
and are to include details of joining blocks together at the pre-erection and erection stages or
at other relevant stages
ii)
iii)
Proposals for testing of the structure (leak and hydrostatic) as well as for all watertight and
weathertight closing appliances
iv)
v)
Any other proposals specific to the vessel type or to the statutory requirements.
The plans and any modifications to them are to be submitted to the Surveyors in sufficient time to
allow approval before the relevant construction phase commences. The Bureau is to require sample
rates of NDE, proposals for steelwork survey, tank testing requirements, etc., if the actual construction
process warrants it. The Bureau is to demonstrate proof to justify the request.
9.1
9.2
Audit
For audit purposes, the information specified in 9.1 is to be made available.
10
10.1
Responsibility
The shipbuilder is to deliver documents for the Ship Construction File. In the event that items have
been provided by another party such as the Owner, and where separate arrangements have been made
for document delivery which excludes the shipbuilder, that party has the responsibility.
10.2
Documents to be Included
It is recognized that the purpose of documents held in the Ship Construction File onboard the vessel,
is to facilitate inspection (survey) and repair and maintenance, and, therefore, is to include in addition
to documents listed in Table 1, but not be limited to:
i)
As-built structural drawings including scantling details, material details, and, as applicable,
wastage allowances, location of butts and seams, cross section details and locations of all
partial and full penetration welds, areas identified for close attention and rudders [Section 7-32 of the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) for Hull Surveys]

manuals) [3-2-16/27 of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels]
iii)
iv)
Copies of certificates of forgings and castings welded into the hull [Sections 2-1-6 and
Section 2-1-5 of the ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2)]
v)
Details of equipment forming part of the watertight and weathertight integrity of the vessel
vi)
Tank testing plan including details of the test requirements [Section 3-7-1 of the ABS Rules

ix)
Docking plan and details of all penetrations normally examined at drydocking [3-1-2/11 and
3-2-2/7 of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels and Section 7-4-1 of the
ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7)]
x)
