SHORT REPORT - GUIDANCE NOTES FOR SURVEYORS

We request surveyors to take good notice of below guidelines prior to attending on board.

Important; The surveyor must always settle the survey fees with the vessels Owners directly, however, RaetsMarine remains in full the main Principal to report and answer to for the surveyor during the survey. RaetsMarine will liaison between parties if a survey fee settlement dispute occurs.

Complete the survey report with the information available and obtained on board. The survey report should primarily represent objective evidence, facts and visual observations made on board only. Surveyors are instructed to limit any personal comment, opinion or advice in the survey report to the sections in the report designated for these additional personal comments only. In the reported deficiencies no reference is to be made to any staff or crewmember on board. Surveyors are instructed to refrain from providing any kind of advise or opinion on corrective actions to be taken on deficiencies found during the survey, both in the survey report as to the Master/staff on board. No time frames for when repairs must be completed are to be made by the surveyor.

In addition to inspecting the vessel as per guidelines, the surveyor will be required to conduct the following tests:

CARGO HOLD HATCHES (general cargo vessels only)

An ultrasonic test must be carried out under supervision of the surveyor. The results of the test must be handed over to vessels Master, preferably in the form of a drawing, which marks the spots (if any) where the hatches are not tight or suspect. Be advised that an ultrasonic test must always be carried out if available. Drawings to be attached to the survey report. HOLDS / CARGO COMPARTMENTS

Bilge wells should be examined for cleanliness and if there is no evidence of a recent hold wash down, bilge suctions should be tested.

BALLAST TANKS

Surveyor should internally examine a number of selected ballast tanks of various types (i.e. 1 double bottom tank, forepeak tank, 1 wing tanks etc). All ballast tanks (without endangering cargo or ships stability) should be pressure tested to ensure integrity. The Forepeak tank has highest priority if not all tanks can be inspected.

If a test or inspection could not be carried out, a clear reason for same should be stated. This non-accomplished inspection must be stated on the deficiency list in the non accomplished item section.The port authorities may impose a fine for discharge of water from the vessel. If you are aware of any regulation that could make it impossible to carry out one of the above tests, please advise us without delay.

The surveyor must at all times confirm actual attendance on board to RaetsMarine within 24 hours in the form of a brief email message, telephone call or fax notification. Within 48 hours the surveyor must provide RaetsMarine with a preliminary report consisting of page 1 of the survey report with vessel/company details and page 7 of the survey report with the deficiencies list. All noted deficiencies must be reported regardless if Owners are carrying out repairs or not at the time of survey, reporting known deficiencies is not to be delayed under any circumstances. Reporting must be done by the surveyor directly to RaetsMarine.

The small survey report, with colour photographs and any other supplementary material, copies of certificates, should be forwarded to RaetsMarine within the period of maximum 15 working days.

Please note that RaetsMarine requires only ONE copy of the report. The preferred method of receiving the survey report with enclosures and photographs is by digital version only, if same is not possible we kindly ask to provide the survey report in hard copy. Please also send a copy of the report to the Owners.

We require at all times photographs from each and every deficiency found and reported, as far as practicable and reasonable. Moreover, we require various relevant so-called overview photographs in order to assist us with our own image forming.

General guidelines on the quantity of photographs are to be taken as follows;

Hull,

5 overview photographs.

Cargo Worthiness,

5 overview photographs.

Ballast tanks,

5 overview photographs.As such we require a minimum of at least 15 photographs for our review with the survey report.

The condition rating section on page 1 is used to assist RaetsMarine to make our risk assessment. Considerable objectivity is required from the surveyor. To ensure a common basis in completing this section, the following brief guidelines should be followed. Whole numbers with decimal digits can be used.

9.0EXCELLENT4.0NOT SATISFACTORY

8.0VERY GOOD3.0NOT ACCEPTABLE

7.0GOOD2.0POOR

6.0FAIR1.0VERY POOR

5.0SATISFACTORY0DANGEROUS

Page 1 also includes a summary section. This should be a brief summary of the vessels condition.

The last page of the form (page 7) should list any deficiencies, clearly stating the nature and extent of these defects. The Master or other Owners representative must sign the last page of the form (page 7), with the list of deficiencies. The surveyor must explain that the survey observations made will be forwarded to RaetsMarine in Rotterdam who will subsequently inform the Brokers or Assured as appropriate.

For almost all items within the guidelines a choice must be made from the 4 columns (satisfactory, deficiency, not inspected or not applicable). In the column deficiency the number of the corresponding deficiency / non-accomplished inspection on page 7 must be filled in. The other 3 columns must be marked with X or .Example :SatisfactoryDeficiencyNot inspectedNot applicableComment
