1 Introduction

This Instruction to Recognised Organisations (ROs) has been set by the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate (NSI) in relation to the acceptance of remote survey on board ships. The remote surveys can be divided into 2 options:

  1. Remote classification surveys (see section 2)

  2. Remote statutory surveys (see section 3)

Remote surveys in accordance with IACS UR Z29 - Remote Classification Surveys are allowed for Class-related items for ships flying the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

3 Remote statutory surveys

The topic of remote surveys is currently addressed in IMO ((sub)Committees 'III' and 'MSC'). Pending the outcome, envisaged in 2024, the NSI only allow remote surveys based on case by case approval.

The following boundaries are to be reckoned with when applying for acceptance of a remote surveys in relation to statutory-related remote surveys:

  • The scope of eligible remote statutory survey items is aligned with the 'IACS UR Z29' and with the EU submission to the IMO as well as the IACS submission to IMO, i.e. only minor statutory-related survey items can be considered.

  • Full statutory annual, periodical, intermediate, initial or renewal survey are in principle excluded as EU flag States are bound to the principles laid down in the EU Commission submission to the IMO.

4 Procedure for remote statutory surveys

A proposal for a remote statutory survey may be submitted by the RO to the NSI for approval by the NSI (case by case), provided that:

  • At the request of the shipowner;

  • Accepted by concerned RO, complying with this Instruction;

  • It is concerning of minor (statutory) survey items / non-compliances1, isolated and easily verified;

  • (if considered necessary) with assistance and/or confirmation report by the relevant RO approved service supplier.

5 Remote statutory survey not covered under minor survey items

In exceptional cases, the NSI may approve statutory survey items not being minor statutory survey items, to be surveyed remotely. This only when a physical inspection cannot be undertaken (e.g. access or travel restrictions, lack of surveyor). In these cases always a confirmatory verification on board shall be included in the proposal, either as soon as possible or when the next scheduled statutory survey takes place.
