  • 1.3 Type of survey to be carried out is accurately identified and basic survey plan is developed
2 Identify and explain structural components and materials
  • 2.1 Types, properties and application of common materials used in construction of typical commercial vessels are identified and noted in survey plan
  • 2.2 Basic structural components used on typical commercial vessels are correctly identified and noted in survey plan
  • 2.3 Inspection requirements for materials and components are documented and verified with surveyor
3 Identify issues relating to vessel water and weather tight integrity
  • 3.1 Range and types of deterioration that affect fitness for purpose of a vessel are identified and confirmed with surveyor
  • 3.2 Preservation and corrosion control methods to maintain fitness for purpose are outlined and confirmed with surveyor
  • 3.3 Deterioration of vessel hull or structure is accurately identified either in water or on slipway
  • 3.4 Typical requirements concerning watertight and weather tight structural integrity of vessels are identified and confirmed with surveyor
4 Determine vessel reporting requirements
  • 4.1 Need for vessel to be fit for its intended purpose is outlined and where questionable, is reported to relevant personnel
