• Add to my list

This is part 1 of a package consisting of two videos. It shows a detailed inspection by 2 surveyors from Lloyd's Register of Shipping as they survey the double hulled tanker 'Emma Maersk'.

The surveyors are on board to conduct the following surveys:

• Classification
• Safety Construction
• Safety Equipment
• Loadline
• Intermediate Special
• Marpol Oil Intermediate

The camera follows the surveyors during their inspections. The points being checked can be seen in detail and are described by the commentary. This is a very thorough series of surveys and very close attention is paid to the condition of the steelwork.

The background to the surveys is explained and the part played by the ship's officers can be seen. Whilst the package was produced to help train surveyors, it provides a very useful insight to surveying and as such is appropriate for training of ships' officers.

Part 1 of the package shows amongst other things: definitions and categories of repairs, detailed inspections of the hull, anchors, pump room, tanks, bridge and navigational equipment and steering gear.
