30、rveyors are to confirm through patrol, review and witness as defined in 2.3, that the vessels are built using approved plans in accordance with the relevant Rules and statutory requirements. The Surveyors are to be qualified to be able to carry out the tasks and procedures are to be in place to ensu
31、re that their activities are monitored. (See Section 1-1-6 of the ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification.) ABSGUIDE FOR HULL SURVEY FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION .2007 3 5 Survey of the Hull Structure 5.1 Items to be Surveyed (1 July 2010) Table 1 provides a list of surveyable items for the hull structur
32、e and coating covered by this Guide, including: i) Description of the shipbuilding functions. ii) Classification and statutory survey requirements iii) Survey method required by the Rules for classification iv) Relevant IACS and statutory requirement references v) Documentation to be available for t
33、he Surveyor during construction. The shipbuilder is to provide the Surveyors access to documentation required for classification. This includes documentation retained by the shipbuilder or other third parties. The list of documents approved or reviewed by ABS for the specific new construction are as
34、 follows: a) Plans and supporting documents b) Examination and testing plans c) NDE plans d) Welding consumable details e) Welding procedure specifications f) Welding plan or details g) Welders qualification records (See 2-4-3/7 of the ABS Rules for Materials and Welding) h) NDE operators qualificat
35、ion records (See Section 1, subsection 5 of ABS Guide for Nondesructive Inspection of Hull Welds) vi) Documents to be inserted into the ship construction file.

36、stive and can be modified to reflect the construction facilities or specific vessel type. 5.2 Evidence of Survey of Materials and Equipment Evidence is also to be made available, as required, by the shipbuilder, to the Surveyor whilst the construction process proceeds to prove that the material and
37、equipment supplied to the vessel has been built or manufactured under survey relevant to the Rules and statutory requirements. 6 Review of the Construction Facility* (1 July 2010) ABS is to familiarize itself with the yards production facilities, management processes, and safety procedures for consi
38、deration in complying with the requirements of Table 1 prior to any steelwork or construction taking place in the following circumstances: i) Where ABS has no recent experience at the construction facilities (typically after a one year lapse) or when significant new infrastructure has been added ii)
39、 Where there has been a significant management or personnel restructuring having an impact on the ship construction process iii) Or where the shipbuilder contracts to construct a vessel of a different type or substantially different in design * Note: Reference is made to Appendix 2, “Shipyard Review
40、 Record”, as an example. 4 ABSGUIDE FOR HULL SURVEY FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION .2007 7 Newbuilding Survey Planning 7.1 Kick-off Meeting (1 July 2010) Prior to commencement of surveys for any newbuilding project, ABS is to discuss with the shipbuilder at a kick-off meeting the items listed in Table 1. The
41、purpose of the meeting is to agree how the list of specific activities shown in Table 1 is to be addressed. The meeting is to take into account the shipbuilders construction facilities and vessel type including the list of proposed subcontractors. A record of the meeting is to be made, based upon th
42、e contents of the Table (the Table can be used as the record with comments made into the appropriate column). If ABS 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 investigation
43、s during construction where areas of concern arise and to keep ABS advised of the progress of any investigation. Whenever 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. 7.
44、2 Administration and Statutory Requirements The records are to take note of specific published Administration requirements and interpretations of statutory requirements. 7.3 Update of Meeting Record (1 July 2010) The shipyard shall be requested to advise of any changes to the activities agreed to at
45、 the kick off meeting and these are to be documented. (e.g., if the shipbuilder chooses to use or change subcontractors, or to incorporate any modifications necessitated by changes in production or inspection methods, Rules and regulations, structural modifications, or in the event where increased i
46、nspection requirements are deemed necessary as a result of a substantial non-conformance or otherwise). 7.4 Shipbuilding Quality Standards (1 July 2011) Shipbuilding quality standards for the hull structure during new construction are to be reviewed and agreed during the kick-off meeting. Structural
47、 fabrication is to be carried out in accordance with the latest version of IACS Recommendation No. 47 “Shipbuilding and Repair Quality Standard”, or a recognized fabrication standard which has been accepted by ABS prior to the commencement of fabrication/construction. The work is to be carried out i
48、n accordance with the Rules and under ABS survey. 7.5 Attendance by Other Parties The kick-off meeting may be attended by other parties, Owner, Administrations, etc., subject to agreement by the shipbuilder. 7.6 Series Ship Production (1 July 2010) In the event of series ship production consideratio
49、n may be given to waiving the requirement for a kickoff meeting for the second and subsequent ships provided any changes are documented as required in 7.1. 8 Examination and Test Plan for Newbuilding Activities (1 July 2010) The shipbuilder is to provide plans of the items which are 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 jo
