The classification of newbuildings is to conduct an
objective and fair evaluation on the relative safety and reliability of the
ship’s structural strength including the vessel’s watertight qualities, propulsion,
maneuvering and auxiliary systems, and other functions according to ship
classification regulations and rules, so as to promote the ship’s safe
navigation at sea, prevent pollution at sea and meet the needs of government,
shipowners, insurers, shipyards, and marine product or material manufacturers.
The newbuilding classification survey refers to the
inspections and tests carried out by the classification society or its agent on
the ships that are to have or are classed by the classification society in
accordance with the inspection scope and requirements specified in the ship
classification rules.
The purpose is to ascertain whether the structural
strength, propulsion, maneuvering and auxiliary equipment, systems and maintenance
of the surveyed ship meet the relevant requirements of the classification
rules. The bases are the conventions and regulations accepted by the flag
state, laws and regulations promulgated by the flag state and related provisions;
China Classification Society (CCS) rules; approved drawings; construction
standards accepted by CCS; other content specified in the construction survey
contract; other relevant provisions, including CCS guidelines, instructions,
procedure documents, technical standards and circulars, etc. approved or
accepted by CCS.
