156 CONDITION SURVEYS In April 2002 the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) released a policy statement on action needed to combat sub-standard ships. The OECD statement required the marine insurance industry to cooperate and to be in a position to identify deficiencies on insured ships that rendered those ships unsafe. As a result the IG P&I clubs set up a ship condition survey programme. 156
