PREAMBLE

1. Resolution 10 of the International Conference on Tanker Safety and

Pollution Prevention, 1978, called upon IMCO to develop guidelines for

Administrations, as to the extent, particulars and frequency of intermediate

surveys and inspections of ships having due regard to their construction,

machinery, equipment and age, and also containing requirements for the ·,

frequency and scope of unscheduled inspections and the scope of mandatory

annual surveys conducted in lieu of unscheduled inspections.

2. Accordingly, these Guidelines ·have been developed to provide an ·agreed

general standard for conducting mandatory annual surveys, unscheduled

inspections of all cargo. ships as well as intermedia.,te surveys on tankers of

ten years of age and over, under the Protocol of 1978 relating to the

International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974.

3. As soon as the Protocol enters into force, Contracting Parties wiii be ;

obliged to institute arrangements for conducting such surveys.and it is with

this purpos~ in .mind that the Gu~delines have been developed. The Conference

recognized that uniform requirements in this field, such as the Guidelines can

provide, would make a valuable contribution to the cause of ensuring compliance

with the requirements of the Protocol.

for the service intended.

3.1.2 In those cases where the nnniversary dates of the Cargo Ship Safety

Cons·bruction Ce::ctificate and the Cargo Ship Safety Equipnent Certificate

do not coincide, the oandatory annual survey uay be appropriately divided into

two separate surveys to facilitute t.ioely endorseoent of the a.ttacmcnt to the

supplement of the applicn.ble certificate.

3.1.3 vn1cn the date on which the mandatory annual survey for a tanker ten

years of age and over is due coin.cides with the date of on intemedin.te survey

as preocribcd in either Regulation 8 or Regulation 10 of Chapter I of the

1978 SOLllS Protocol 1 tho coil1ciding requireoents of the two surveyo may be

sn.tisfied by a single survey. However, CD.re oust be taken to ensure t~t thoso

requirements of the nandatory annual survey which are outside the scope of

the coinc~ding inte:roediate sti.rvey are also accomplished.

3.2 Genern.l

3.2_.l vn1e:re rw...nda:tory romuo.~ surveys a:re o.dopted .. _by the Administration, they

should apply to all cm:.'go ships i~sued uith the Safety ._ Equipment and Safety

Construction Certificate. ; The Adninistration, in guaranteeing the coopleteness

and efficiency of the mD.Lid.atory ru1nual survey, should establish appropriate

instructions and guidelines to enable office:rs of the Ad.ministration, .,,

nominated surveyors or recognized orga.nizntions to conduct the survey.

3.2.2 Mandatory annual surveys enable the Administration to verify that

the condition of the ship, its machinery and equipment is being oaintained

in accordance with the relevant requirements of the 1978 SOLAS Protocol.

vessels as determined by the Administration have been cariied out as

required and that safety devices such as boiler safety devices have

dead ended wiring~ testing the insulation resistance of the

circui·f;s. Except i.n cases where a proper record of testing is

maintained, consideration should be given to accepting recent

read:lngs by the crew. If any of the readings are marginal or if

the condition of the cables, fixtures or equipment appears defective

in any way, verification measurements may be required. These

measurements should not be attempted until the' ship is in a gas
