1.1本指南涵盖了制定和实施海洋船舶检查流程的信息。本手册旨在为有意规划、组织和实施海洋船舶结构调查计划的人员提供考虑因素，尤其是在船舶设计阶段。其旨在与任何其他要求的检查或调查要求结合使用，但在没有其他此类适用要求的情况下，可以作为此类规划的基础。 1.2本指南为船东、运营商、船厂和设计师提供了制定详细检查流程的计划，该流程涵盖了海洋船舶使用寿命的所有阶段，包括设计、建造和使用期。本计划可与船级社和船旗国调查和检查一起制定和使用。 1.3本指南还为针对典型结构缺陷或偏差或两者的建议纠正行动计划的制定提供了依据。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5本指南的所有部分可能不适用于所有船舶或船厂，因为存在许多船厂特定标准，以确保合同规定的质量水平。

1.1 This guide covers information to develop and implement a marine vessel inspection process. It is intended to provide considerations for persons interested in planning, organizing, and implementing a structural survey plan for a marine vessel, especially during the design phase of the vessel. It is intended to be used in conjunction with any other required inspection or survey requirements but can form the basis for such planning in the absence of other such applicable requirements. 1.2 This guide provides owners, operators, shipyards, and designers with a plan for developing a detailed inspection process that covers all stages of the operating life of a marine vessel, including the design, construction, and in-service periods. This plan may be developed and used in concert with classification society and flag state surveys and inspections. 1.3 This guide also provides the basis for development of a recommended corrective action plan for typical structural deficiencies or deviations, or both. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 All portions of this guide may not be applicable to all vessels or shipyards since many yard-specific standards to ensure contracted level of quality are in existence.
