An Independent Survey is one conducted by
this Society as an impartial third party,
and is not limited to ships.
We conduct independent surveys in the following
manner:
1. Independent surveys of ships, materials
& equipment, or other equipment according
to the contract between a buyer and seller:
When applying, an applicant must present the
contract between both parties. After reviewing
the contract, we will conduct an independent
survey based on its contents.
2. Independent surveys of ships, materials
& equipment, or other equipment according
to the rules designated: When applying,
an applicant must indicate which of the
rules will be used, such as Chinese National
Standard ( CNS), harbor laws, Japanese Industrial
Standard (JIS), or rules of other classification
societies, in order to facilitate the follow-up
work for an independent survey.
3. Assessment of non-CR-classed ships before
purchase at the request of an owner.
4. Damage survey of non-CR-classed ships
at the request of an insurance company.
5. Verification of non-CR ships for seaworthiness.
