The class transfer survey of a ship in
service refers to the inspection on compliance of a ship with an IACS class that
has already been in service and applies for transfer to the CCS class, before
the CCS class is assigned and the classification certificate is issued, in
order to confirm that the documents, design of structure and equipment,
configuration and technical status, and management conform to the CCS
classification specifications, rules and other technical requirements
recognized by CCS.
The initial classification survey of a ship
in service refers to the inspection on compliance of a ship without an IACS
class that has already been in service and applies for the CCS class, before the
CCS class is assigned and the classification certificate is issued, in order to
confirm that the documents, design of structure and equipment, configuration
and technical status, and management conform to the CCS classification
specifications, rules and other technical requirements recognized by CCS. CCS
will consider arranging pre-classification inspection and drawing approval for
ships based on the actual technical status of the ship and the situation of the
existing classification society.
When transfer of class and initial
classification are applied for, they can be carried out in conjunction with the
normal survey cycle of the ship. It is recommended that the customer contact
CCS in advance. CCS will fully consider the ship schedule and voyage plan to give
advice to the ship owner/management company, so that the survey is conducted at
a more suitable time, port or shipyard.
For ships to apply for initial classification
survey in CCS, the below procedure needs to be followed:
