                 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.
