Surveyor's Summary Comments

  • Surveyor's general comments and summary - Advise particularly on the subject(s) which give rise to the most concern regarding safety of crew, vessel or cargo:

LIST OF DEFECT(s)

  • This report, and any accompanying documentation or photographs, has been compiled for the sole use of the Club for insurance purposes only and should not be disclosed to third parties without prior written permission from the Club. The information contained in this report, and any accompanying documentation or photographs, is not exhaustive as to the general condition of the ship and should not be relied upon by members or by any other party as any assurance, representation or warranty as to the condition of the ship and nothing herein shall prejudice the Club's rights under the insurance policy in the event of a dispute between the Club and the member relating to the condition of the ship.

  • Instruction:
    After the Inspection Report is fully input in iAuditor for all 'No' answer(s) in the Part A, B, C, D questionnaire - the iAuditor software generates a list of 'Flagged (Failed) items' in PDF Report automatically. Such 'Flagged (Failed) item(s)', if any, is/are summarised at the top/beginning of the SURVEY REPORT; and those are considered as 'Deficiency(ies)'.

    Items that/those might not be covered in the 'Flagged (Failed) item(s)' is/are included here manually by the Surveyor as 'Defects(s)' as per their observation. Dedicated 'Defect List' [LIST OF DEFECT(s)] is prepared by the Surveyor only IF ADDITIONAL DEFECT(S) is/are found outside/not covered by the Template/Checklist questionnaire. These are in addition to any other areas of concern, found or observed or raised by the attending Surveyor, outside the template - based on the Surveyor's overall professional judgement of the ship.

    If any such defect(s) is/are observed, (unless 'No visible additional Defect observed') - 'Defect List' [LIST OF DEFECT(s)] is prepared by the Surveyor - preferably by TYPING, on the iAuditor or in PDF electronic form. Before leaving the ship a PRINT is taken (or handwritten in good quality capital letter). The Surveyor is strongly advised to sign, and get signature and stamped by the Master (for Receipt only). The Master (and any Owners' rep onboard) gets a COPY.

    Disclaimer:
    A defect list as signed by the Master may not be exhaustive; additional defects may be added (or some may be removed) depending on the review by the Surveyor and the Club upon completion of the 'Full/Final Report' of findings. 'Flagged (Failed) item(s)' + 'Defect(s) would constitute 'Deficiency(ies)' which would be needed to 'Rectify' by the Members after the Report is supplied to them.

    If a 'List of Defect(s)' not prepared (either no additional defects observed or for any other reason) - then, before leaving the ship, the Surveyor to sign, and get signature and stamped by the Master (for Receipt only) on the PDF paper-printed questionnaire worked-forms used as working checklist on all pages. The Master (and any Owners' rep onboard) gets a COPY. Later the Surveyor may complete the full/final 'Defect list' electronically IF ADDITIONAL DEFECTS were observed while onboard. 1 defect mentioned in 1 box; not many defects in one box.

    Note:
    Media/photos may not be added/included in this Defect List.
    Media/photos of 'Flagged (Failed) items' and 'Defect item(s)' is/are added in Part E PHOTOGRAPHS section's 8.8 Photo Appendix-H (Defect, Deficiency, Issues items).
