11、al Periodical Survey is not completed by the due date, unless the vessel is under attendance for completion prior to resuming trading. Under “exceptional circumstances” (limited to such cases as unavailability of drydocking facilities; unavailability of repair facilities; unavailability of essential
12、 materials, equipment or spare parts; or delays incurred by action taken to avoid severe weather conditions), consideration may be given for an extension of the Special Periodical Survey not exceeding three (3) months, provided the vessel is attended and the attending Surveyor(s) so recommend(s) aft
13、er the following has been carried out: Annual Survey; and Re-examination of recommendations; and Progression of the Special Periodical Survey as far as practicable; and In the case where drydocking is due prior to the end of the class extension, an underwater examination is to be carried out by an a
14、pproved diving company. An underwater examination by an approved company may be dispensed with in the case of extension of drydocking survey not exceeding 36 months interval provided the vessel is without outstanding recommendation regarding underwater parts. If the vessel is at sea on the Special P

16、satisfied there is technical justification for an extension; such an extension shall be granted only until arrival at the first port of call after the due date. However, if owing to “exceptional circumstances” the Special Periodical Survey cannot be completed at the first port of call, the Rule abov
17、e for an extension of the Special Periodical Survey may be followed, but the total period of extension shall in no case be longer than three (3) months after the original due date of the Special Periodical Survey. f When a vessel is intended for a demolition voyage with any periodical survey overdue
18、, the vessels class suspension may be held in abeyance and consideration may be given to allow the vessel to proceed on a single direct ballast voyage from the lay up or final discharge port to the demolition yard. In such cases a short term Class Certificate with conditions for the voyage noted may
19、 be issued provided the attending Surveyor finds the vessel in satisfactory condition to proceed for the intended voyage.

24、o sail for one trip to a discharge port and subsequent ballast voyage to a repair facility if necessary. (Where there is unforeseen inability of the Bureau to attend the vessel in the present port, the master is to confirm that his ship is in condition to sail to the nearest port of call.) If class
25、has already been automatically suspended in such cases, it may be reinstated subject to the conditions presented in this paragraph. 1.17.2 Lifting of Suspension a Class will be reinstated after suspension for overdue surveys upon satisfactory completion of the overdue surveys.
