INITIAL SURVEY

Done before the ship is put into service

Complete inspection of all items concerning

the certificate

To make sure ship posses satisfactory

conditions and can carry out the service for
which ship is intended

PERIODICAL/RENEWAL SURVEY

It aims to assess the vessel's condition,

including its hull, machinery, systems, and
equipment, to identify any potential
deficiencies or non-compliance issues.

The survey helps determine whether the

ship continues to meet the necessary
safety, operational, and environmental
requirements for its intended service.

The survey of a ship is crucial for maintaining

compliance, ensuring safety, facilitating smooth
operations, meeting insurance and chartering
requirements, and preserving the vessel's value.
ZENER MARITIME SOLUTIONS

Comprehensive inspection and assessment of the ship conducted

to renew its statutory certificates.

The renewal survey is essential for the vessel's ongoing

compliance, seaworthiness, and ability to operate in a safe and
legally compliant manner.
ZENER MARITIME SOLUTIONS

Renewing the ship's statutory certificates, including the Safety

Management Certificate, International Oil Pollution Prevention
Certificate, Load Line Certificate, and others.

These certificates are required for the vessel's compliance with

international regulations, port entry, insurance coverage, and
chartering agreements. A valid and up-to-date certificate is essential
for the vessel's continuous operation.

ANNUAL SURVEY

The annual survey is a comprehensive inspection conducted

once every year to ensure compliance, assess the vessel's
condition, and maintain safety and operational readiness.

The timing of the annual survey is based on the calendar year

and is typically conducted within years time of the previous
annual survey.

INTERMEDIATE SURVEY

The intermediate survey is

conducted between two
periodical surveys to assess
the vessel's condition, identify
emerging issues, ensure
ongoing compliance, and
maintain operational
readiness. By detecting and
addressing potential problems
early, the survey helps prevent
further deterioration, ensures
compliance with regulations
and standards, and
contributes to the vessel's
safe and efficient operation.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (CAP)

CAP primarily focuses on tankers and bulk carriers

CAP applies specific standards and criteria

established by the U.S. Coast Guard. These
standards ensure consistency and uniformity
in assessing structural conditions across
different vessels.

Involves a comprehensive
assessment of the structural
condition of the vessel, including
its hull, decks, bulkheads, and
other critical structural
components.
ZENER MARITIME SOLUTIONS

CAP requires various inspections and

evaluations, including visual inspections,
measurements, non-destructive testing, and
analysis of structural drawings and
documentation.
