The Ship Inspection Department supervises and co-ordinates the activities of the five ship inspectors and controls the condition surveys which are carried out (by independent surveyors) under the Club's Rules. The ship inspectors travel worldwide in order to carry out their tasks. Permanent bases are maintained in Rotterdam and Singapore. All the Ship Inspectors are qualified QA Lead Assessors and are familiar with the requirements of the ISM Code.
