About Marine Survey Services
Marine Survey services are generally provided to keep everyone safe. The Technical Regulation of Ships issued by the Ministry of Communications in 2009 includes regulations such as the loading limit certificate and the ships’ seaworthiness certificate. Apart from these, it also contains rules in port exit documents. According to this regulation, ships are subject to some official inspections according to their purpose of use, type and voyage area. These official inspections are as follows:
- Boat
- Machine
- Fire protection navigational gear
- General equipment
- Load-carrying capacities
- Communication system
- Marine pollution prevention equipment
- Cruise safety
There is a need for marine survey services offered by supervision agencies to ensure that cargo ships are ready before official inspections. Institutions authorized according to the regulation carry out annual and initial survey studies in line with their own rules.
According to the regulations in question, marine survey services include the following inspections and controls to be carried out at sea:
- Main engines and their helpers
- Equipment such as windows, doors, portholes on the ship
