CHAPTER 17 SURVEYS SECTION 2 SURVEYS AFTER CONSTRUCTION

9、AND MAINTENANCE OF CLASS (2017) 1 General (Revise Subsection 17-2/1, as follows:) A survey plan for the cargo containment system shall be developed and submitted for approval. The plan shall identify areas that require examination and testing during special surveys throughout the cargo containment s

10、ystems life based upon the systems design parameters. Cargo containment systems shall be designed, constructed and equipped to provide adequate means of access to areas that need inspection as specified in the survey plan. The requirements of the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) are

11、intended to define the general scope of required surveys. Because of the varied design concept for CNG carriers, it is not considered practicable to establish a firm schedule of requirements. The periodical surveys are to be carried out in accordance with the reviewed inspection plan to confirm the fitness of the CNG carrier for continued operation. The Inspection Plan should cover all surveys for the life of the CNG carrier.
