6 WHY DO WE NEED VESSEL INSPECTIONS? 5

7 Need for Vessel Inspections STATUTORY Flag State Inspection For a country to be included in the list of flag states, it has to have the necessary maritime infrastructure both financial and technical and should, most importantly, adhere to all the norms and regulations established by the International Maritime Organisations (IMO). Port State Inspections Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in national ports to verify that the condition of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international regulations and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance with these rules. 6

8 Regulations FLAG STATE UNCLOS III The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS) is an international agreement that resulted from the third UN Conference on the Law of Sea (UNCLOS III). The flag State duties are laid down under Article 94 of UNCLOS Article 94(3) and (4) - Construction, Equipment and Seaworthiness of ships Article 217(2) of UNCLOS extends the scope of article 94(3); it requires the flag State to ensure that its vessels are prohibited from sailing until they can proceed to sea in compliance with the requirements of international rules and standards with regard to design, construction and equipment of vessels. PORT STATE Many of IMO's most important technical conventions contain provisions for ships to be inspected when they visit foreign ports to ensure that they meet IMO requirements. These inspections were originally intended to be a back up to flag State implementation, but experience has shown that they can be extremely effective 7

9 Need for Vessel Inspections INSURANCE/MUTUAL Classification Clause under ITCH Policy 4.1 It is the duty of the Assured, Owners and Managers at the inception of and throughout the period of this insurance to ensure that the Vessel is classed with a Classification Society agreed by the Underwriters and that her class within that Society is maintained, any recommendations requirements or restrictions imposed by the Vessel's Classification Society which relate to the Vessel's seaworthiness or to her maintenance in a seaworthy condition are complied with by the dates required by that Society. 4.2 In the event of any breach of the duties set out in Clause 4.1 above, unless the Underwriters agree to the contrary in writing, they will be discharged from liability under this insurance as from the date of the breach provided that if the Vessel is at sea at such date the Underwriters' discharge from liability is deferred until arrival at her next port. 4.3 Any incident condition or damage in respect of which the Vessel's Classification Society might make recommendations as to repairs or other action to be taken by the Assured, Owners or Managers must be promptly reported to the Classification Society. 4.4 Should the Underwriters wish to approach the Classification Society directly for information and/or documents, the Assured will provide the necessary authorization 8

13 Need for Vessel Inspections PRE-RISK SURVEYS To evaluate condition of the vessel prior underwriting the risk for H&M or Liability INTERNAL /EXTERNAL AUDITS As requirement for SMC Certificate. As per ISM code under SOLAS chapter IX, a company shall be issued with Document of compliance (DOC) and its ships are issued with Safety Management Certificates (SMC) only after ensuring that the company has a Safety Management System (SMS) and all ships are operated as per the SMS. ON HIRE/OFF HIRE SURVEYS Requirement by Charterers to take a vessel on hire and off hire so that the condition of the vessel is recorded and no further claims is activated. PRE-PURCHASE SURVEYS For Purchase of vessels. 12

14 IMO Conventions SOLAS (International convention of Safety of Life at Sea) MARPOL (The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) STCW Code (The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers) MLC Code (The Maritime Labour Convention) ISM Code (International Safety management Code) ISPS Code (International Ship and Port facility Security) International Convention on Load Lines 13
