PSC Inspection Checklist for BUREAU VERITAS classed vessels – rev. 04/2015 M&O/DO/FM/TPP

BUREAU VERITAS MARINE & OFFSHORE DIVISION

Preventive Inspection Preparation Questionnaire

This Check list is issued to assist surveyors and help the responsible crew on board to check preventively the apparent condition of maintenance of the ship prior to the potential, expected or consecutive Port State Control inspection.

It does not in any way replace or cover the scope of class and/or statutory surveys carried out by Bureau Veritas, the Flag state or by Bureau Veritas on behalf of the Flag state.

It is not exhaustive and contains items which are recorded as of elevated attention by the PSC in different areas. The questionnaire is based also on similar checklists created and distributed recently by Flag Administrations, marine consultants and organizations. It is reflecting as well the recent data from statistics available apparently to Bureau Veritas from its own classed fleet and various external sources.

It is worth to underline that as per Bureau Veritas Rules, latest edition, Pt.A, Ch.1, Sec.1, under the par. “Duties of the Interested Parties” :

“The classification of a ship is based on the understanding that the ship is loaded and operated in a proper manner by competent and qualified crew or operating personnel according to the environmental, loading, operating and other criteria on which classification is based. In particular, it will be assumed that the draught of the ship in operating conditions will not exceed that corresponding to the freeboard assigned or the maximum approved for the classification, that the ship will be properly loaded taking into account both its stability and the stresses imposed on its structures and that cargoes will be properly stowed and suitably secured and that the speed and course of the ship are adapted to the prevailing sea and weather conditions according to the normal prudent seamanship. …… Ships are to be maintained at all times, at the diligence of the Owners, in proper condition complying with international safety and pollution prevention regulations.” Present document is not in any way designed, even as guidance only, to replace or prevent the use of any applicable regulatory document in the field of Port State Control Inspection Regime, such as IMO Res.A.1052(27) as amended or specific PSC Administrations requirements, Concentrated Inspection Campaign announcements or any other Administration imposed additional regulations and/or specific port, country or regional regimes as published.

If your ship is detained, or appears to be in the process of being detained, you should contact the nearest BV office immediately for assistance. The BV surveyor will facilitate rectification of deficiencies, verify compliance with the applicable requirements and expedite release of the ship. Refer to BV Rules Pt A, Ch1, sec1, § 3.4.1.
