Sections of internal linings and panelling to be removed at the discretion of the surveyor for examination of the underlying structure.
The vessel to be hauled out on a slipway, dry docked or placed on a suitable hard standing or in hoist slings for examination of the keel, bottom and topside, including rudders, stern gear, hull fittings and decks.
Steel and aluminium alloy hulls to be sounded externally and ultrasonic thickness tested at the discretion of the surveyor.
Wooden hulls to be sounded externally, sample fastenings to be drawn, caulking tested and sheathing to be removed at the discretion of the surveyor (as applicable).
G R P hulls to be sounded externally, moisture content assessed, sample areas of anti-fouling removed to expose surface of laminate, skin fittings and fastenings to be hammer tested.
The interior structure to be examined as far as accessible with the removal of normally portable panels and traps, including the lifting of any easily removal screw-fastened cabin soles.
Where applicable hull and deck caulking to be tested.
TYPE 5 - EXTERNAL HULL ONLY
Vessels to be hauled out on slipway, lifted ashore or dried out in dock or on hard standing.
External hull examined as described in Type 2 and Type 4 except that this survey does not include bulkheads, engine bearers or other items incorporated in the internal structure.
NOTES
It is of significant importance that vessels be properly prepared for survey and depending on the type of survey to be carried out the following points require attention before the date of examination:
- All equipment and gear to be in the same place as the vessel and property laid out for easy examination.
- Loose or portable gear and personal equipment to be removed from the vessel, floor hatches removed and bilges fully drained.
