each Annual and Renewal(Special) load line inspection. The ships 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 surveyors subsequent verification. 33 34 35 36 i. Stability data was verified as being on board. j. A copy of the form LL-11D (or equivalent form issued by another class society) was verified as being on board. 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. 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. 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. 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 40 41 1. Areas of substantial corrosion were visually examined. 2. Thickness measurements were taken in way of areas with substantial corrosion. 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. 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.

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? t.
