Surveying of New Construction Marine Watertube Boilers At one time or another nearly all surveyors will encounter a boiler for survey either at new build or on existing ships. In some cases, on existing ships, the boiler will appear to be in a state of advanced disrepair with various bits of sheet metal and lagging missing or damaged. Heavy fuel oil, rust and water stains with crystallized chemicals will be found around many connections in way of gaskets, valve packing glands and manhole or hand hole openings. One may have stood back and wondered just what it had looked like when it was new and what was actually involved in constructing a new boiler under survey. It is for those curious individuals that we have prepared this book and it is hoped that some degree of insight may be gained by all who find these essential pieces of marine equipment both interesting and frustrating in their day to day activities. |

Guidelines for Surveyors Conducting Pre-Shipment Inspections of Steel Cargoes Loss prevention should always be perceived as being more beneficial than claims handling and it is in the category of loss prevention that the steel pre-shipment inspection fails. A leading P&I Club recently reported that claims on steel cargoes still amounted to 11% of total claims on dry cargoes and was, therefore, regarded as continuing to be a problem area. The need for accurate clausing of Mate's receipts/bills of lading is, therefore, apparent and the best possible way to achieve this is by means of an accurate pre-shipment inspection of the cargo. |
