A vessel you are sailing on as Chief Engineer had its last special survey 2 years prior to now. When is the next special survey due?
⢠Special survey interval in SOLAS/class rules (often linked to a 5âyear cycle for class renewal) ⢠Relationship between last special survey date and the due date for the next special survey ⢠Difference between annual/intermediate surveys and special (periodical) surveys
⢠Think about the typical full class or statutory survey cycle length (in years) for seagoing vessels. ⢠If the complete cycle is X years, and the last special survey was 2 years ago, how many years are left in that cycle? ⢠Which option best matches the remaining time until the end of that full specialâsurvey cycle, starting from the last special survey date?
⢠Confirm the total length of the special survey cycle (in years) used in most SOLAS/class requirements. ⢠Make sure you are counting from the date of the last special survey, not from the vesselâs build date. ⢠Check that the time you calculate as âremainingâ matches one of the answer options exactly (1, 2, 3, or 5 years from now).
