tankers must comply with the additional requirements stipulated in the Rules
and Regulations. During this survey the surveyor assesses the standard of
the workmanship, and verifies the scantlings and arrangements submitted for
approval. It should be noted that the special survey for classification will
receive special consideration from Lloyds Register in the case of a vessel
transferred from another recognised Classification Society. Periodical surveys
where the vessel is classed are subsequently held as in the case of ships built

Hull Planned Maintenance Scheme
Lloyds Register offers a Hull Planned Maintenance Scheme (HPMS) that
may significantly reduce the scope of the periodical surveys of the hull. The
classification society works closely with the shipowner to set up an inspection
programme that integrates classification requirements with the shipowners
own planned maintenance programme. Ship staff trained and accredited by
Lloyds Register are authorised to inspect selected structural items according to
an approved schedule. Compliance is verified by Lloyds Register surveyors
at an annual audit.

Damage Repairs
When a vessel requires repairs to damaged equipment or to the hull it is
necessary for the work to be carried out to the satisfaction of Lloyds Register
surveyors. In order that the ship maintains its class, approval of the repairs
undertaken must be obtained from the surveyors either at the time of the
repair or at the earliest opportunity.
