Surveys for Maintenance Class

1.9 Special consideration may be given in application of relevant sections of this Rules for commercial ships owned or chartered by governments, which are utilized in support of military operations or service s. (IACS UR Z3, Z7, Z18, Z21) 8.

Remote Inspection Techniques (RIT)

8.1 Remote Inspection Techniques (RIT) are permitted as an alternative to close-up survey. The RIT shall provide the information normally obtained from a close-up survey. RIT surveys shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements given here-in and the requirements of IACS Recommendation 42 Guidelines for Use of Remote Inspection Techniques for surveys. These considerations shall be included in the proposals for use of a RIT which shall be submitted in advance of the survey so that satisfactory arrangements can be agreed with BKI. 8.2 Consideration may be given by the attending Surveyor to allow use of Remote Inspection Techniques (RIT) as an alternative to close-up survey. Surveys conducted using a RIT are to be completed to the satisfaction of the attending Surveyor. 8.3 The equipment and procedure for observing and reporting the survey using a RIT shall be discussed and agreed with the parties involved prior to the RIT survey, and suitable time shall be allowed to set-up, calibrate and test all equipment beforehand. 8.4 When using a RIT as an alternative to close-up survey, if not carried out by BKI itself, it shall be conducted by a firm approved as a service supplier according to Rules for Approval Manufacturers and Service Suppliers (Pt.1, Vol. XI) and shall be witnessed by an attending surveyor of BKI. 8.5 The structure to be examined using a RIT shall be sufficiently clean to permit meaningful examination. Visibility shall be sufficient to allow for a meaningful examination. The classification society shall be satisfied with the methods of orientation on the structure. 8.6 The surveyor shall be satisfied with the method of data presentation including pictorial representation, and a good two-way communication between the surveyor and RIT operator shall be provided. 8.7 If the RIT reveals damage or deterioration that requires attention, the surveyor may require traditional survey to be undertaken without the use of a RIT. 8.8 For surveys conducted by use of a remote inspection technique, one or more of the following means for access, acceptable to the surveyor, shall be provided: –

unmanned robot arm

–

remotely operated vehicles (ROV)

–

unmanned aerial vehicles /drones

–

other means acceptable to BKI.

In-Water Surveys

1.7.3

Performance of survey

1)

The diving firm assisting in in water surveys shall be approved by BKI for this purpose in accordance with Rules for Approval Manufacturers and Service Suppliers (Pt.1, Vol. XI).

2)

Validity of an approval granted will depend on the continued qualification for satisfactorily carrying out the work required. The approval will have to be renewed after a period not exceeding 3 years.

3)

Unless accessible from outside with the aid of the vessel's trim and/or heel, underwater parts are to be surveyed and/or relevant maintenance work is to be carried out with assistance by a diver whose performance is controlled by the Surveyor, using an underwater camera with monitor, two– way communication and recording systems.

4)

The In-water Survey is to be carried out with the ship in sheltered water and preferably with weak tidal streams and currents. The in-water visibility and the cleanliness of the hull below the waterline is to be clear enough to permit a meaningful examination which allows the surveyor and diver to determine the condition of the plating, appendages and the welding. BKI is to be satisfied with the methods of orientation of the divers or Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) on the plating, which should make use where necessary of permanent markings on the plating at selected points.

5)

The equipment, procedure for observing and reporting the survey are to be discussed with the parties involved prior to the In -water Survey, and s uitable time is to be allowed to per mit the in -water survey f irm to test all equipment beforehand.

6)

The underwater pictures on the surface monitor screen shall offer reliable technical information such as to enable the Surveyor to judge the parts and/ or the areas surveyed.

7)

Documentation suited for video reproduction including voice is to be made available to BKI.

Pressure Relief Valves

i.

Fuel Storage Tank Pressure Relief Valves. The pressure relief valves for the fuel storage tanks are to be opened for examination, adjusted, and function tested. If the tanks are equipped with relief valves with non-metallic membranes in the main or pilot valves, such non-metallic membranes are to be replaced.

ii.

Fuel Supply and Bunkering Piping Pressure Relief Valves. A random selection of Pressure relief valves for the fuel supply and bunkering piping are to be opened for examination, adjusted, and function tested. Where a proper record of continuous overhaul and retesting of individually identifiable relief valves is maintained, consideration will be given to acceptance on the basis of opening, internal examination, and testing of a representative sampling of valves, including each size and type of liquefied gas or vapour relief valve in use, provided there is logbook evidence that the remaining valves have been overhauled and tested since crediting of the previous Class Renewal Survey.

Access to Structures

5.5

Notwithstanding the above requirements:

–

The use of a portable ladder fitted with a mechanical device to secure the upper end of the ladder is acceptable for the "close-up examination of sufficient extent, minimum 25% of frames, to establish the condition of the lower region of the shell frames including approx. lower one third length of side frame at side shell and side frame end attachment and the adjacent shell plating of the forward cargo hold" at Annual Survey.

–

The use of hydraulic arm vehicles or aerial lifts ( “Cherry picker ”) may be accepted by the attending sur veyor for the close -up survey of the upper part of side shell frames or other structures in all cas es where the maximum working height is not more than 17 m.
