Initial ship inspection checklist (form 36)


Overview

Our marine surveyors complete initial ship inspection checklist (Form 36) during initial ship inspections.

The checklist is extensive and covers international and national standards.

If you work on a ship, or with ships, you may be familiar with this form.

Marine surveyors often carry the form in notebook form.

You do not need to complete this checklist.

We provide a copy on our website for your information. You can review the form before an inspection.

This may help you:

  • understand compliance requirements
  • ask questions, as needed
  • prepare for inspections.
