Suspension of class
Class may be suspended following a decision made by the Society when one or
more of the following occurs:
when a ship is not operated in compliance with the Rule requirements;
when a ship proceeds to sea with less freeboard than that assigned;
when the owner fails to request a survey after having detected defects or damages
affecting the class;
when repairs, alterations or conversions affecting the class are carried out without
requesting the attendance of a surveyor.
In addition, class is automatically suspended:
when the class renewal/special survey has not been completed by its due date or within
the time granted in special circumstances for the completion of the survey, unless the ship
is under attendance by the Societys surveyor(s) with a view to completion prior to resuming
trading;
when the annual or intermediate surveys have not been completed by the end of the
corresponding survey time windows.
In addition to the circumstances for which automatic suspension may apply, the
class of a ship will be subject to suspension procedures following a decision of the
Society:
when a recommendation/condition of class is not dealt with within the time limit specified,
unless it is postponed before the due date by agreement with the Society;
when one or more other surveys are not held by their due dates - or the dates stipulated
by the Society also taking into account any extensions granted;
when, due to the nature of reported defects, the Society considers that a ship is not
entitled to retain its class even on a temporary basis (pending necessary repairs or
renewals, etc.);
in other circumstances where the owner fails to submit the ship to a survey in accordance
with a special requirement.
Suspension of class with respect to the above cases will remain in effect until such time as
the due surveys and any other survey deemed appropriate by the Society have been
completed.
In all cases suspension will remain in effect until such time as matters are rectified and the
class is reinstated or class is withdrawn.
Withdrawal of class
The Society will withdraw the class of a ship when:
requested by the owner;
the class has been suspended for more than six months;
the ship is reported as a constructive total loss and the owner does not advise his intention
to repair the ship for re-instatement of class;
the ship is reported lost;
the ship will not trade further as declared by its owner.
Withdrawal of class takes effect from the date on which the circumstances causing such
withdrawal occur or when it is decided.
