Annual survey

All ships are subjects for periodical surveys to establish reasonable assurance that the ship, its hull structure, machinery, equipment and systems remain in satisfactory condition and in compliance with approval and accepted standards. Annual surveys are carried out yearly with due date generally corresponding to class assignment anniversary date. The survey time window is +/- 3 months from the due date.
