14、l type including the list of proposed subcontractors. A record of the meeting is to be made, based upon the contents of the Table (the Table can be used as the record with comments made into the appropriate column). Notice No. 1 August 2010 ABSGUIDE FOR HULL SURVEY FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION .2007 3 If AB
15、S has nominated a Surveyor for a specific newbuilding project, then the Surveyor is to attend the kick-off meeting. The builder is to be asked to agree to undertake ad hoc investigations during construction where areas of concern arise and to keep ABS advised of the progress of any investigation. Wh
16、enever an investigation is undertaken, the builder is to be requested, in principle, to agree to suspend relevant construction activities if warranted by the severity of the problem. (Revise Paragraph 7.3, as follows.) 7.3 Update of Meeting Record (1 July 2010) The shipyard shall be requested to adv
17、ise of any changes to the activities agreed to at the kick off meeting and these are to be documented.

(Revise Subsection 8, as follows.) 8 Examination and Test Plan for Newbuilding Activities (1 July 2010) The shipbuilder is to provide plans of the items which are
20、intended to be examined and tested. These plans need not be submitted for approval and examination at the time of the kick-off meeting. They are to include: i) Proposals for the examination of completed steelwork (generally referred to as the block plan) and are to include details of joining blocks
21、together at the pre-erection and erection stages or at other relevant stages ii) Proposals for fit up examinations where necessary iii) Proposals for testing of the structure (leak and hydrostatic) as well as for all watertight and weathertight closing appliances iv) Proposals for nondestructive exa
22、mination v) Any other proposals specific to the vessel type or to the statutory requirements. The plans and any modifications to them are to be submitted to the Surveyors in sufficient time to allow review before the relevant survey activity commences.
