Classification Society, Periodical Survery and Dry-Docking Works List.

Classification Society:
Classification society (CS) & Role of classification society.

CS is an organization who maintain the rules and regulations of International
Maritime Organization (IMO) for ship building, ship repairing and safety
construction certificate. All ocean going ships who travel from one country to
another must be linked under minimum a CS.
CS have been created to be assessed and maintained for the initial and
continuing inspection of ships.
CS publish rules and regulations which are principally concerned with strength
of the ship, the provision of adequate equipment and the reliability of the
machinery. Ship may be built in any country to a particular CS’s rules, and they
are not restricted to classification by the relevant society of the country where
they are built.
Classification is not compulsory but the ship owner with an unclassed ship will
be required to satisfy governmental regulation bodies that it has been sufficient
structural strength for assignment of loadline issue of safety construction
certificate.
Ship building, ship repairing and safety construction certificate to
Surveyor/Technical Superintendent to CS to IMO.
The Principal Classification societies are:
Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (LRS) – Great Britain
Bureau Veritas (BV)-France
Germanishcher Lloyd (GL) – Germany
Det Norske Veritas (DNV)- Norway
Regitro Italiano Navale (RINA)-Italy
Ameriacn Bureau of Shipping (ABS) –USA
Russian Register of Shipping (RRS)-Russia
Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NKK)- Japan
Indian Register of Shipping (IRS)- India
Periodical Surveys (PS)
To maintain the assigned class the vessel has to be examined by the society’s
surveyors at regular period.
1) Annual Surveys (AS)
All steel ships are required to be surveyed at intervals approximately one year.
The AS are where practicable held concurrently with statutory or other loadline
surveys. At this survey the surveyor is to examine the conditions of all closing
appliances covered by the condition of assignment of minimum freeboard , the
freeboard marks and auxiliary steering gear particularly rod and chain gear.
Watertight doors and other penetrations of watertight Bulkheads (BHD) are also
examined and the structural fire protection verified.
2) Intermediate Surveys (IS)
Instead of second or third AS after building or Special Survey (SS) an
intermediate survey is undertaken. In addition to the requirement for AS
particular attention is paid to cargo holds in vessels over 25 years of age and
the operating systems of tankers, chemical carriers and liquefied gas carriers.
3) Docking Surveys (DS)
Ships are to be examined in dry-dock at intervals not exceeding two and half
years. At the DS survey particular attention is paid the shell plating, stern frame
and rudder, external and through hull fittings, and all parts of the hull
particularly liable to corrosion and chafing and any unfairness of bottom.
4) In-water Surveys (IWS)
The society may accept IWS in lieu of any one of the two dockings required in
five years period. The IWS is to provide the information normally obtained for
the DS. Generally consideration is only given to an IWS where a suitable high
resistance paint has been applied to the under water hull.
5) Special Surveys (SS)
All steel ships are subject to SS. These surveys become due at five yearly
intervals, the first five years from the date of build or date of SS for
classification and thereafter five years from the date of previous SS. SS may be
carried out over an extended period commencing not before the fourth
anniversary after building or previous SS, but must be completed by the fifth
anniversary
The hull requirements at a special survey, the details of compartments to be
opened up, and the material to be inspected at any SS are listed in detail in the
Rules and Regulations.
Divided into four ship age groups:
SS- five years old
SS- ten years old
SS- fifteen years old
SS- twenty years old and at every SS thereafter.
6) Other Surveys
Tailshaft Survey (TS), Emergency Survey etc.
