serving spaces on or below the freeboard deck.

22 v. Watertight bulkheads, bulkhead penetrations, end bulkheads of enclosed

superstructures and the operation of any doors in same.

23 vi. Weathertight doors and closing appliances for all of the above including

stiffening, dogs, hinges and gaskets.

24 vii. The proper operation of the weathertight doors and closing appliances was

confirmed.

25 viii. The means provided to minimize water ingress through the spurling pipes

and chain lockers.

26 b. Freeing ports together with bars, shutters and hinges were examined and

considered satisfactory.

27 c. Means of protection for crew, guard rails, bulwarks, lifelines, gangways and deck

houses accommodating crew, as fitted, were examined and considered satisfactory.

28 d. Structural areas of the hull particularly susceptible to accelerated corrosion,

including spaces used for salt-water ballast, as accessible were examined and

considered satisfactory.

29 e. Sea valves, and overboard discharges were externally examined including their

attachment to shell and considered satisfactory.

30 f. A Loading Guidance Manual was verified as being on board.

31 g. A loading instrument was verified as being on board and was confirmed to be in

satisfactory working order.

32 h. If onboard computer(s) is(are) used for stability calculations and vessel’s contract

signing date was on or after 1 July 2005 continued compliance with IACS unified

requirement L-5, “Onboard Computers for stability Calculations” is to be confirmed at




LL-INI of 4



each Annual and Renewal(Special) load line inspection. The ship’s master is

responsible for demonstrating the accuracy of the onboard computer for stability

calculations by applying at least one approved test condition. If the ABS surveyor is

not present for the computer check a copy of the test condition results are to be

retained onboard for surveyor’s subsequent verification.

33 i. Stability data was verified as being on board.

34 j. A copy of the form LL-11D (or equivalent form issued by another class society) was

verified as being on board.

35 k. It was verified that no alterations have been made to the hull or superstructure(s),

which affected the position of the current Load Line.

36 l. An examination was made of the structural arrangements, fittings and appliances

as related to timber, tanker or special Load Line assignments and all considered

satisfactory.

37 m. The freeboard marks were sighted, found plainly visible or recut and/or painted, as

necessary, and were in accordance with the Load Line Certificate. The Load Line

certificate examined for accuracy in accordance with assignment specified by load

line department in VIM including correct shading of grid.

38 n. Has the validity of all other statutory certificates been checked? Note: This

includes SOLAS (SLE, SLR, IBC, IGC, ISM, etc.), Load Line, MARPOL certificates,

Safe Manning document, and officer and crew certification as required by the STCW

Convention. Check N/A for un-inspected vessels that are not required by Flag

Administration to carry more than a Load Line Certificate.

o. For areas with substantial corrosion:

39 1. Areas of substantial corrosion were visually examined.

40 2. Thickness measurements were taken in way of areas with substantial

corrosion.

41 3. Hard coating in way of areas with substantial corrosion was examined and

found satisfactory.

p. Vessels over 5 years of age. Examination of the following tanks is to be carried

out:

42 1. Ballast tanks and combined cargo/ballast tanks other than double bottom

tanks, where a hard protective coating was found in poor condition during a

previous survey, or a soft or semi-hard coating has been applied, or a hard

protective coating has not been applied from the time of construction.

43 2. Double bottom ballast tanks, where substantial corrosion was found within the

tank, a hard protective coating was found in poor condition during a previous

survey, or a soft or semi-hard coating has been applied, or a hard protective

coating has not been applied from the time of construction.

q. Vessels over 15 years of age. Examination of the following tanks is to be carried

out:

44 1. Ballast tanks and combined cargo/ballast tanks other than double bottom tanks




LL-INI of 4



in way of spaces designated for the carriage of cargo, where fair coating

conditions were identified at previous surveys, a minimum of three (3) so

identified tanks, i.e., one (1) forward, one (1) midship and one (1) aft.

45 2. Peak tanks where fair coating conditions were identified at previous surveys.

r. Where extensive areas of corrosion are found or when considered necessary by

the Surveyor, thickness measurements are to be carried out and renewals and/or

repairs made when wastage exceeds allowable margins. Where substantial corrosion

is found, additional thickness measurements are to be taken to confirm the extent of

substantial corrosion. These extended thickness measurements are to be carried out

befor the survey is completed and credited. Where reduced scantlings on the basis of

effective corrosion control have been adopted, the results of any measurements are

to be evaluated based on the scantlings before reduction.

46 s. If this vessel maintains concurrent Loadline assignments, have all sets of

Certificates been appropriately endorsed and same indicated on the O2K Survey

Summary Page?

47 t. Certificate are to be endorsed/issued/extended, as applicable.
