Daily meetings
During the docking period, the Superintendent will hold daily meetings with the Foreman, Chief Engineer, Chief Engineer and Second Engineer, or as required by him, at times specified by him. During these meetings the progress of work will be discussed, work pending will be planned/prepared for which all department heads must have all the necessary information. In case any work done so far in the shipyard is found to be unsatisfactory or if any dispute remains regarding poor workmanship, etc., the same should be reported to the Superintendent for necessary action to be taken.
Warranty repairs (for new ships)
The vessel usually comes with a list of items that our representatives have already agreed with the office. Each item on this list must be carefully inspected and entered into the repair list marked “Warranty Repair.”
From the date of delivery, every defect, incorrect design, shortage, unfinished work, incorrect installation, etc. must be continuously entered into this repair list. A comparison must be made with the construction specifications and any discrepancies that have also been introduced.
Whenever a page of this correction list is completed, it must be sent to the company, and further lists must continue with sequential page and item numbers. The warranty generally extends for 12 months from the date of delivery.
Hull and Machinery Reviews (crewing work for seafarers)
Each vessel is supplied with a Master List of Items for Inspection of Ships and Machinery in accordance with the requirements of the Classification Society to which it is attached. In addition, all vessels are provided with a Quarterly Listing issued by the class, which states:
a) Status of all certificates.
b) Status of all surveys.
c) Surveys are included from the previous list.
d) items to be examined over the next 12 months.
e) items are expired.
f) Recommendation, class conditions, if any.
It should be noted that when in a continuous cycle each object is surveyed once every five years, and the derived schedule must interact and form a maintenance program for part of the vessel's order, in order for the vessel to remain in class, it must be ensured by the Master and Chief Engineer that these lists are carefully studied and all items are Class Inspectors within the specified date.

Before presenting any item for inspection, the correct functioning of the equipment must be verified or if any spare parts are required, this must be ensured well in advance. Needless to say, the ship's personnel must be completely satisfied and make all necessary checks appropriate to the item being inspected before submitting it. Items submitted for inspection should be carefully placed in the office and the master, in cooperation with the agents, should make the necessary arrangements for the presence of surveyors unless otherwise specified (crewing work for seamen).
From an economic point of view, it should be known that the fees for visiting a surveyor vary depending on the country for which it is advisable to obtain the prior approval of the Superintendent before appointing a surveyor. It is also considered cost effective to present the same number of items during one inspector visit.
Once the survey is completed, a copy of the certificate/report issued by the surveyor must be copied and sent back to the office by courier. Also the ship must inform the office that the survey has been successfully completed and if a COC/recommendation has been made.
Cleanliness and appearance
The need to keep the vessel clean at all times cannot be emphasized enough. The shipper/charterer or owner visiting the ship will form an opinion of the ship and its personnel based on the impression created by the ship's appearance. It is therefore vital to maintain a high level of cleanliness and appearance to build confidence among all concerned.
The foreman must ensure that aisles, rooms, restrooms, galleys, mess halls, and other interior areas are cleared, scrubbed, and laundered frequently. Maximum cleanliness should be maintained in all fire hazard areas and a sense of hygiene should prevail.
Conduct a weekly inspection of the Master at intervals not exceeding seven (7) days on board the ship to ensure that the seafarers' accommodation or living quarters are in a safe, clean, hygienic and decently habitable condition and are well maintained; to ensure the safety and health of all seafarers on board.
The master check should include (but is not limited to):
a) Cabins (including bathroom and toilet);
b) canteens;
c) Storerooms;
d) supplies of food and drinking water;
e) all premises and equipment used for the storage and processing of food and drinking water;
f) galley and other equipment for preparing and serving food;
g) Dry Provisions stores;
h) Cold (refrigerating) rooms/freezing chambers;
i) Refrigerators;
j) Hospital
k) Bathrooms (shared)
k) Toilets (public and shared)
m) Laundries
p) locker rooms
o) Passages / Openings (general)
p) Onboard rest/entertainment facilities. The master's weekly inspection must be recorded in the official flag state log and must be available for inspection by inspectors (crewing work for seafarers).
Any defects identified during the master's weekly inspection must be recorded on the company's form and ensure that the relevant department head takes action to correct and correct the defects.
Interior living and working spaces must be kept free of dirt and debris and never allowed to deteriorate.
In terms of appearance, the exterior and interior of the vessel should always be well painted to not only enhance the appearance but also preserve the structure. In this aspect, the need for proper surface preparation before applying topcoats and judicious use of paint should not be overlooked.
Rust spots/stains, if any, must be removed using appropriate tools and surfaces must be well cleaned before applying sufficient primer. It is important that the first topcoat be applied as soon as the primer has dried to prevent moisture from re-entering and the source of sweeping rust etc. must be identified to avoid recurrence as otherwise the whole procedure will result in loss of useful labor and paint.
The painting operation must be supervised by a responsible hand to ensure that items such as lubrication points, sight glasses, rubber quick release stud pads, identification marks, etc. are not painted over. Company color codes must be followed at all times and the importance of using the correct grades of chlorinated paint should not be overlooked.
Crew Accommodation
Vessels are built and operated in accordance with the requirements of the ship's flag state or any other specific requirements of the ship's flag state regarding crew accommodation.
Vessels registered in Panama comply with ILO Convention No. 92 and a valid Crew Accommodation Inspection Certificate issued by the Master's Flight RO.
Ship's hospital (crewing work for seamen)
The ship's hospital shall be used exclusively for medical purposes, and the sanitary facilities provided for the hospital shall be used exclusively by its occupants. When the hospital is not in use, it should be checked weekly and secured to ensure this.
