SURVEY REPORT OF CORRECTING THE DRAFT
The surveyor has read six drafts-forward, aft and midships on both sides. These must be
reduced to a single correct mean draft with which to enter the displacement tables. The
reduction involves correcting for the effects of list, trim and hull deformation. If the ship
was perfectly upright, on an even keel and not bent at all, then all six drafts would be the
same. This draft would be the one to use. It never happens like that in practice. (20 分)
PRE-SHIPMENT SURVEYS
Pre-shipment surveys are inspections of the cargo or the compartment where it will be
stowed before loading. The intention of the survey will vary depending on who calls for it.
Shipowners and their P&I clubs will call for pre-shipment surveys where they know that
large cargo claims are likely to arise. The intention of the survey is then to make sure that
the exact condition of the cargo on loading is specified on the bills of lading, and that due
care has been taken in preparing the ship for the cargo. They can then more easily refute
damage claims. Underwriters for the cargo may call for a warranty survey when high value
cargo is to be shipped.(20 分)
HULL INSPECTION
The surveyor should inspect all accessible parts of the hull and if he has any doubts about
the sections he cannot reach, he should arrange for a ladder or a mechanical hoist so that
these areas can be properly inspected. If the vessel is over ten years old, it may also be
beneficial to do ultra sound thickness tests on portions of the deck to verify the plate
thickness.
Areas that should be inspected include:
a. External and internal shell plating (where visible)
b. Decks, deck houses, superstructures and bulwarks/rails
c. Hatch coaming, hatches (including seals and securing devices)
d. Hold ladders, gangways and catwalks
e. Hold and deck lighting
f. All pipes (above and below deck)
g. Ventilators, manholes and watertight doors
h. All holds/cargo tanks paying particular attention to beams and frames, bulkheads
i. Tanktops
j. Bilges and bilge suctions
k. Double bottoms and peak tanks

CARGO SURVEY
Bulk cargoes must usually be sampled before loading. This may be for quality control, for
ascertaining moisture content or for checking temperature. Sampling procedures tend to
vary according to the practice of the port or terminal. Internationally accepted standards
are laid down in British standards and in the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk
Cargoes.(20 分)
