    On-Off Hire Survey

    Uploaded by

    Aditya Prasad
    Ship surveys are conducted at the start and end of charters to inspect areas where damage may occur during loading or unloading, such as the deck, hatches, and holds. The surveyor examines certificates, equipment, machinery, and the general condition. Defects are carefully noted so they can be identified later. Inspections are best done in daylight with hatches open and holds empty so all defects can be seen, as issues may be missed otherwise. Survey reports note rust levels which impact required cleaning before certain cargoes. Delivery certificates are often issued as proof that on/off hire surveys were completed.

    These surveys note the condition of the ship at commencement or completion of a charter, covering an inspection of that area of a ship

    (the deck, bulwarks and r ails, deck houses, cargo gear, hatch covers and holds) in which damage is most l ikely to occur during loading or discharge. In addition, the surveyor would examine the ship s statutory certificate (recordin g the date of issue and expiry), and note details of the ship, life boats and ra fts, main engine, the ship s mooring system and condition of the mooring lines, an d a general description of the condition of the accommodation and engine room. More often than not, the surveyor is also required to check the quantity of bunk ers on board at time of survey. On occasions it is also necessary to calculate t he quantity on board, at the time the charter party commences or ends, where thi s is different to the on /off hire survey. During the inspection, all defects will be noted and recorded in such a way that some one else can find it. Thus any damage that has occurred during the period of a charter can be identified and if necessary repaired. The inspection should be done in daylight, with the hatches fully open and the holds empty and clean a s under any other conditions, defects can be and are missed. Although not strict ly part of the survey, the surveyor should note in his report that amount of rus t in the holds, particularly if the rust is loose, as this can play a big part i n determining the amount of cleaning that may be required for some cargoes. When writing the report, if as in the case of hatch coamings, repetitive descrip tions are involved, it is preferable to write a general description of the item and record the defects only under the various hatches. On completion of on / off hire survey, it is quite common for owner to request surveyor to issue a delivery certificate. This is proof that the on / off hire s urvey took place and confirms the time at which change of responsibility takes e ffect.
