7 Newbuilding Survey Planning
7.1 Kick-off Meeting (1 July 2010)
Prior to commencement of surveys forany newbuilding project, ABS is to discuss with the shipbuilder at akick-off meeting the items listed in Table 1. The purpose of the meeting is to agree how the list of specific
activities shown in Table 1 is to be addressed.
The meeting is to take into account the shipbuilders construction facilities and vessel type including thelist of proposed subcontractors. A record of the meeting is to be made, based upon the contents of the
Table (the Table can be used as the record with comments made into the appropriate column).
If ABS has nominated a Surveyor for a specific newbuilding project, then the Surveyor is to attend thekick-off meeting. The builder is to be asked to agree to undertake ad hoc investigations during construction
where areas of concern arise and to keep ABS advised of the progress of any investigation.
Whenever an investigation is undertaken, the builder is to be requested, in principle, to agree to suspendrelevant construction activities if warranted by the severity of the problem.
7.2 Administration and Statutory RequirementsThe records are to take note of specific published Administration requirements and interpretations ofstatutory requirements.
7.3 Update of Meeting Record (1 July 2010)
The shipyard shall be requested to advise of any changes to the activities agreed to at the kick off meetingand these are to be documented. (e.g., if the shipbuilder chooses to use or change subcontractors, or toincorporate any modifications necessitated by changes in production or inspection methods, Rules and
regulations, structural modifications, or in the event where increased inspection requirements are deemednecessary as a result of a substantial non-conformance or otherwise).
7.4 Shipbuilding Quality Standards (1 July 2011)
Shipbuilding quality standards for the hull structure during new construction are to be reviewed and agreedduring the kick-off meeting. Structural fabrication is to be carried out in accordance with the latest versionof IACS Recommendation No. 47 Shipbuilding and Repair Quality Standard, or a recognized fabrication
standard which has been accepted by ABS prior to the commencement of fabrication/construction. The workis to be carried out in accordance with the Rules and under ABS survey.
7.5 Attendance by Other Parties
The kick-off meeting may be attended by other parties, Owner, Administrations, etc., subject to agreement
by the shipbuilder.
7.6 Series Ship Production (1 July 2010)
In the event of series ship production consideration may be given to waiving the requirement for a kickoffmeeting for the second and subsequent ships provided any changes are documented as required in 7.1.
8 Examination and Test Plan for Newbuilding Activities (1 July 2010)
The shipbuilder is to provide plans of the items which are intended to be examined and tested. These plansneed not be submitted for approval and examination at the time of the kick-off meeting. They are to include:
i) Proposals for the examination of completed steelwork (generally referred to as the block plan) and
are to include details of joining blocks together at the pre-erection and erection stages or at otherrelevant stages
ii) Proposals for fit up examinations where necessary
iii) Proposals for testing of the structure (leak and hydrostatic) as well as for all watertight and weathertightclosing appliances

v) Any other proposals specific to the vessel type or to the statutory requirements.
The plans and any modifications to them are to be submitted to the Surveyors in sufficient time to allowreviewbefore the relevant survey activity commences.
9 Proof of the Consistency of Surveys9.1 Compliance with Newbuilding Survey Planning
ABS is to be able to provide evidence (e.g., through records, check lists, inspection and test records, etc.)that its Surveyors have complied with the requirements of the newbuilding survey planning and duly
participated in the relevant activities shown in the shipbuilders examination and test plans.
9.2 Audit
For audit purposes, the information specified in 9.1 is to be made available.
10 Ship Construction File
10.1 Responsibility
The shipbuilder is to deliver documents for the Ship Construction File. In the event that items have beenprovided by another party such as the Owner, and where separate arrangements have been made for documentdelivery which excludes the shipbuilder, that party has the responsibility.
10.2 Documents to be Included
It is recognized that the purpose of documents held in the Ship Construction File onboard the vessel, is tofacilitate inspection (survey) and repair and maintenance, and, therefore, is to include in addition to documentslisted in Table 1, but not be limited to:
