What are the parts of the ship that is examined by a surveyor during an annual surveyor?
Annual surveys are to be held concurrently with statutory annual or other relevant statutory surveys, whenever practicable. At the survey the surveyor is to examine the followings:
a) The condition of all closing appliances covered by the conditions of assignment of freeboard.
b) The main and auxiliary steering arrangements
c) The freeboard marks
d) The anchoring and mooring equipment
e) The structural fire protection of the vessel
f) Watertight doors and other penetrations in watertight bulkheads.
g) The general condition of the vessel is also assessed, and anchors and cables are inspected where possible at these annual surveys.
h) The satisfactory operation of all emergency equipment. There are also additional requirements for oil tankers and chemical tankers.
i) Dry bulk cargo ships are subject to an inspection of a forward and aft cargo hold.
j) List some of the different class notations and their significance.

Sample requirements for a Bulk Carrier

Annual Survey

For bulk carriers, the following requirements are also applicable:
(i) The survey is to include a close-up survey of the hatch covers, hatch coaming and stiffeners.
(ii) A thorough survey of cargo hatch covers and coamings is only possible by their examination in an open and closed position, including verification of the proper opening and closing position. As such, the hatch cover sets located in the forward 25& of the ship’s length and at least one other additional set are to be surveyed open, closed, and in operation to the full extent in each direction in accordance with requirements. When selecting hatch cover sets, it should be ensured that all sets are subject to survey at least once in every 5-year Special Survey period. The closing of the hatch covers is to include the fastening of all peripheral and cross joint cleats or other securing devices, with particular attention to be paid to the condition of the hatch covers located in the forward 25% of the ship’s length, where sea loads are normally greatest.
(iii) If there are indications of difficulty in operating and securing hatch covers, then additional sets are to be tested in operation at the discretion of the Surveyor.
(iv) Where the cargo hatch securing system does not function properly, repairs are to be carried out under the supervision of the Surveyor.
(v) Surveyors are to survey the sealing arrangements of perimeter and cross joints (gaskets for condition of permanent deformation, flexible seals on combination carrier, gasket lips, compression bars, drainage channels and non-return valves).
Where considered necessary by the Surveyor, the effectiveness of sealing arrangements may be proved by hose test or chalk test supplemented by dimensional measurements of seal compressing components.
For bulk carriers, in addition to the applicable requirements of 2.2.1 to 2.2.29, the following are to be dealt with, where applicable:

(a) Examination of cargo holds in accordance with Table 3.2.1 is required.
(b) Where substantial corrosion, as defined in 1.5, has been noted then additional measurements are to be carried out in accordance with Tables 3.6.5, 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 3.6.8, 3.6.9, 3.6.10. The survey will not be considered complete until these additional thickness measurements have been carried out.
For cargo holds and ballast tanks of bulk carriers built in accordance with the IACS Common Structural Rules (CSR), the annual thickness measurement may be dispensed with, where a protective coating has been applied in accordance with the coating manufacturer’s requirements and is maintained in good condition.
