A Practical Approach to Ship Surveys.

The aim of this two day course is to provide delegates with practical advice on ship survey planning and preparation and what actions should be taken during a survey.

This course would be ideally suited to superintendents, ship officers and other marine personnel involved in the preparation for and execution of ship surveys.

Through the highly participative use of group and individual exercises based on Lloyd's Register’s experience, delegates will learn about survey planning, preparation and the actions required during a survey.

This includes scheduling the survey within the survey window, ensuring an adequate lead in time for the local office and that all necessary documents etc. are held onboard.

• are available 

• are aware of the key survey areas 

• know how to deal with questions

• Schedule, plan and prepare for a survey. 

• Interpret survey requirements. 

• Recognise what can and cannot be done within the Rules of Classification and Statutory Regulations. 

• Identify Port State Control issues and the consequences of ship detention.
