The Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) says that updated Recommendations on Condition Assessment Program (CAP) are now available. The new version contains detailed description of the assessment criteria of all components of ship’s hull structures, machinery and systems, criteria of the CAP rating scale and descriptive notations based on the survey results. It also specifies the requirements to fatigue strength calculation of hull structures and determination of residual service life of a ship.
The scope of records to be submitted to the customer upon the service rendering has been substantially expanded.
The requirements of the leading domestic and international oil and gas companies have been implemented while preparing a new version of the Recommendations. The RS CAP service is recognized, inter alia, by Oil Majors Petronas and LUKOIL.
For customers’ convenience, the Recommendations contain the detailed information on the CAP operations executed by the Register (including the due dates and the RS Branch Offices in charge), as well as the complete list of information submitted by the shipowner.
