Develop Professional Class Surveyor Knowledge
Classification and statutory surveys require maritime professionals to understand
vessel structure, machinery, stability, safety equipment, pollution prevention
requirements and specialised ship systems.
The Class Surveyor Training provides a structured learning pathway
covering important technical areas encountered in ship survey and inspection work.
Participants develop knowledge relevant to survey preparation, technical examination,
objective evidence, vessel condition assessment and professional reporting.
Understanding Classification & Statutory Surveys
Ship survey work may involve different technical and regulatory responsibilities.
Classification surveys examine compliance with applicable classification requirements,
while statutory surveys relate to requirements arising from applicable maritime
conventions and flag Administration responsibilities. Maritime survey professionals
need to understand the scope and purpose of the work they perform and the evidence
required to support survey conclusions.
What You Will Develop
Understand key principles associated with classification and statutory survey activities.
Build knowledge across important structural, machinery and shipboard technical areas.
Develop a systematic approach to examining relevant vessel condition and survey evidence.
Understand the importance of factual observations and appropriate supporting documentation.
Develop awareness of records, certificates and technical information relevant to survey work.
Understand principles for recording observations and communicating survey findings professionally.
Class Surveyor Course Content
The programme covers classification and statutory surveys together with specialised
technical units addressing major ship structures, systems, safety and pollution
prevention areas.
Classification and Statutory Surveys
Establish the core survey knowledge required before progressing through the
specialised technical units of the programme.
Module 2A — Hull Structure
Technical knowledge relating to ship hull structure and structural survey considerations.
Module 2B — Machinery Systems
Survey knowledge involving machinery installations and relevant shipboard systems.
Module 2C — Subdivision and Stability
Develop knowledge relating to vessel subdivision and stability considerations.
Module 2D — Load Line
Understand important survey considerations associated with load line requirements.
Module 2E — Tonnage
Build knowledge of tonnage-related requirements within the survey environment.
Module 2F — Structural Fire Protection
Study technical considerations involving structural fire protection arrangements.
Module 2G — Safety Equipment
Develop survey knowledge relating to important vessel safety equipment.
Module 2H — Oil Pollution Prevention
Study survey considerations relating to prevention of pollution by oil.
Module 2I — Noxious Liquid Substances Pollution Prevention
Develop knowledge relevant to pollution prevention involving noxious liquid substances.
Module 2J — Radio Equipment
Build awareness of radio equipment within the relevant ship survey context.
Module 2K — Carriage of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk
Develop survey knowledge relating to ships involved in the carriage of dangerous chemicals in bulk.
Module 2L — Carriage of Liquefied Gases in Bulk
Study survey considerations associated with ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk.
From Hull Structure to Specialised Vessel Systems
The course content provides broad exposure to major technical survey areas rather than
concentrating on a single vessel system. Participants progress from hull and machinery
through stability, load line, tonnage, fire protection and safety equipment before
studying pollution prevention, radio equipment and specialised bulk chemical and gas
carriage topics.
A Structured Survey Approach
Understand the survey scope and review relevant vessel information.
Examine relevant structures, machinery, systems and documentation.
Evaluate observations using applicable criteria and objective evidence.
Document survey observations and findings clearly and professionally.
