HATCH COVER TESTING
Before ultrasonic test, the P&I surveyor should witness the hatch covers being closed and
report on the safety of the closing procedure, for example whether the crew have to swing
on the hatch chains to assist the closing operation.
After closing and securing the hatch covers, the surveyor should enter the holds to see if any
daylight is entering through the hatch covers. He should then report the results of the
Daylight Test in this section. If daylight is seen through any particular hatch cover, then it is
not necessary to test that hatch cover.
Results of hatch cover Ultrasonic Test conducted by the P&I Condition Surveyor. To be signed
by Master/Representative, and a copy left onboard. Diagram of any points of apparent
leaks to be attached to this report.
It is not sufficient to accept reported Class hatch cover test results. Subject to successful
daylight test, all hatch covers must be ultrasonically tested by the P&I Condition Surveyor. If
this is not possible, then the surveyor should state why the test was not undertaken.

NOTE: SAFETY AUDITS OF PASSENGER VESSELS
Requires a review of the vessel’s safety procedures and should cover the ability of the
vessel's crew to respond to an emergency situation.
It should incorporate subjects such as passenger safety information, clarity of signs for
muster stations, evacuation routes and life jacket location.
The effectiveness of the fire detection system should be tested as well as procedures for
ventilation, flooding control and passenger evacuation.
The crew should be questioned regarding their knowledge and understanding of their duties
in an emergency together with the company procedures for emergency situations.
Whilst this is not a safety equipment survey, random inspections and testing of safety
equipment should be included in this survey, and records of safety equipment maintenance
and safety drills reviewed.

IMPORTANT (please read prior to survey)
Guidance Notes to Surveyors
P&I loss prevention vessel condition surveys are primarily concerned with the safe operation,
navigation and cargoworthiness of the vessel in order to prevent accidents to people, cargo, and
third party property.
This Condition Survey Form is intended only as a guide, or aide memoire for the surveyor, and the
surveyor is encouraged to make his own comments at the end of each section. Should any relevant
item of equipment or documentation not be listed in the form, the surveyor is requested to report
on those items in addition to the listed items.
Hatch covers must be inspected and ultrasonically tested; ballast tanks must be pressed-up
(hydrostatically tested) and holds inspected for leaks. Hold bilge suctions and non-return valves
must be tested on all general cargo and bulk carriers.
It is therefore important that the inspection is conducted when the vessel is cargo free and afloat in
order that hydrostatic pressure testing of ballast tanks may be undertaken. Obviously, where cargo
operations are underway, pressure testing of ballast tanks is not possible. Furthermore, pressure
testing of ballast tanks may not be possible where local water pollution regulations prohibit such
tests.
Entry Into Enclosed Spaces procedures must be adhered to when entering any enclosed or confined
spaces on board the vessel.
Some questions on the form may not relate to the vessel under survey, or alternatively the
requested information may not be available.
Wherever practicable the surveyor should inspect all items himself. The surveyor may not accept
verbal reports that another surveyor inspected the equipment a few days earlier. If it is not possible
for the surveyor to inspect any item, then the surveyor should state this, and the reasons for noninspection. The surveyor should then obtain a verbal report from the Master, Chief Officer or Chief
Engineer of the vessel.
The surveyor should test items wherever appropriate whilst conducting the survey, such tests only
being carried out with prior knowledge and co-operation of the ship's staff. If particular areas appear
to be well maintained and operational then it will be beneficial, due to possible time constraints, to
limit testing to the more important items or those where condition gives cause for concern.
Page 39
Photographs should be taken to illustrate the general appearance and condition of the vessel.
Specific attention should be paid to the hatch covers (if appropriate).
Clearly annotated
photographs of defective areas or equipment should also be attached.
A written list of defects, crosschecked with the report, for maintenance or repair should be given to
the Owner or Master and countersigned, a copy left onboard and a copy should be attached to the
survey report. All defects and recommendations should, wherever possible, be brought to the
attention of the vessel's Master or other responsible representative of the vessel's operators in
order that the vessel may have the opportunity to rectify or repair defects prior to the departure of
the Surveyor. Serious defects or deficiencies should be emphasised to the Master, or Owner’s
representative.
All defects rectified and/or repaired to the satisfaction of the Surveyor may be deleted from the
defects list, but should be added to the additional comments section as having been rectified.
At the completion of the final report the surveyor should clearly indicate whether he considers the
vessel to be safe and fit in all respects to undertake the intended venture.
Sections 1 to 16 should normally be completed for all vessels. Sections 17 onwards refer to
specialised vessels.
The report should be submitted by email in MS Word or PDF format, together with annotated
photographs.
The completion of a Condition Survey in no way varies or prejudices the rights of the Insurer, and the
Insurer maintains the right to either withdraw a P&I quote or P&I cover, or implement specific
warranty terms at its discretion.
The Owner’s paramount responsibility to ensure the safety and seaworthiness of the vessel and
crew, and its mandatory compliance with any statutory, Classification Society, Flag State, or Port
State requirements, is in no way derogated by anything said, seen or done by the attending
surveyor, or by the completion of a Condition Survey.
In no circumstance shall the Insurer be liable for the negligence or recklessness of any surveyor
which it appoints to carry out a Condition Survey.
