Lloyd's Planning

Underwater Surveys

Looking ahead to the time when the supertanker building program outstrips facilities for the repair and routine drydocking of tankers of 150,000 tons and upward, a working party at Lloyd's Register has been examining whether there is a need for the Society, in its future opera- tions, to undertake underwater sur- veys as an alternative to the require- ments for drydocking.

Draft specifications for such a service are being formulated cover- ing both routine surveys and damage surveys carried out by means of div- ers and possibly diver-assisted vehi- cles. Closed circuit television and un- derwater cameras may be used to de- termine the extent of damage or, in the case of routine surveys, to assess the condition of the ship below the waterline, so that surveyors may de- cide whether docking is necessary. It is envisaged that the diving work would be carried out by contractors under the supervision of surveyors.
