CLASSIFICATION society ClassNK has released Guidelines for Remote Surveys Ver. 2.0 including a class notation requirement for the ship with advance preparation for remote surveys.
ClassNK has been working on the advancement of surveys using digital technology in line with its research and development roadmap and Digital Grand Design 2030. This has informed its work on the guidelines.
The guidelines describe the types of surveys that can be applied, the types and amounts of information required for remote surveys, and the requirements for the use of ICT. The document incorporates outcomes of investigation and examination for providing the standards in the application of remote surveys to ensure reliability equivalent to conventional witness surveys with transparency.
In the Ver. 2.0, ClassNK has made revision for the clarification of selection of equipment and communication infrastructure, and the class notation requirement for the ship with advance preparation for remote surveys. This includes procedures for crew members as well as the description review for category of remote surveys and applicable survey items.
