🔍 Key Concepts

• Classification society survey cycles for cargo/merchant vessels • Difference between annual, special (or renewal), and intermediate surveys • Typical “plus or minus” time windows allowed around the anniversary date for annual class surveys

💭 Think About

• First, recall how often special (class renewal) surveys are required and how annual surveys fit into that larger cycle. • Think about why classification societies allow a window around the anniversary date instead of a single exact date. • Compare the practicality of each option: which time window best matches how owners and class normally schedule annual machinery surveys within the 5‑year cycle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard annual survey window used by major IACS (International Association of Classification Societies) members. • Check whether the time window is measured before and after the anniversary date (plus or minus) or only after. • Confirm that the “anniversary date” refers to the date of the last special (class renewal) survey for this question.
