Division 5 Approval matters

31 Approval of in-water inspections
       (1) The owner of a vessel may apply to AMSA for approval of an in-water inspection to replace any of the dry-dock inspections required under this Marine Order.
Note 1   An application should be developed by the owner of a vessel in conjunction with the vessel's issuing body.
Note 2   For a SOLAS certificate, the effect of Regulations 7 and 10 of Chapter I of SOLAS and the Survey Guidelines under the Harmonised System of Survey and Certification is that a vessel is required to have 2 dry-dock inspections in the applicable validity period of its SOLAS certificate or International Load Lines Certificate.
Note 3   For a non-SOLAS certificate, the dry-dock inspection requirements are mentioned in the Survey Guidelines under the Harmonised System of Survey and Certification.
       (2) The application for approval must be made in accordance with Marine Order 1 (Administration) 2013.
Note   Marine Order 1 (Administration) 2013 requires a supporting statement setting out the grounds of the application. It also provides that if a fee is charged the application must be accompanied by the prescribed fee and, if a form is approved for the application, the approved form must be used.
       (3) AMSA may approve inspection of the outside of the bottom of the vessel to be conducted in-water, in lieu of a dry-dock inspection, if AMSA is satisfied that the in-water inspection is at least as effective as a dry-dock inspection.
Note   For passenger vessels, AMSA may take into account Guidelines for the assessment of technical provisions for the performance of an in-water survey in lieu of bottom inspection in dry-dock to permit one dry-dock examination in any five-year period for passenger ships other than ro-ro passenger ships (MSC.1/Circ.1348).
       (4) An approval is subject to conditions imposed by AMSA.
Note   Failure to meet any condition imposed on an approval of an in-water survey will result in an obligation for the owner or master to comply with dry-dock requirements required under this Marine Order.
