The Club organises mandatory condition surveys to help Members ensure their entered ships conform to acceptable standards.
The surveys are completed using the Club’s Condition Survey Report Form, All-Ships Survey Questionnaire and ship-specific survey questionnaires (see downloads below). They are done on vessels for the following reasons:
- If the ship is over 10 years old, either pre-entry or a post-entry.
- If, after a visit by a Club risk assessor, it is felt that the ship does not conform to the Club’s standards.
- Following a claim which could possibly have occurred due to a lapse in on-board maintenance or management.
- If information is received from a third party, such as port state control, that the ship is below Club standard.
- If the ship changes classification societies, usually from an International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) member to a non-IACS society.
- If, after a lengthy period of lay-up (6 months or more), the ship is re-activated.
The condition that surveys are carried out by independent surveyors appointed by the Club’s ship inspection team.
