We want to know what you think about proposed revisions to the Surveyor Accreditation Guidance Manual Part 2 (SAGM2).
SAGM 2 sets clear standards and criteria for Accredited Marine Surveyors and Recognised Organisations (class societies), outlining the procedures for surveying domestic commercial vessels to ensure compliance with safety regulations and standards.
Key proposed revisions
- Class 2 vessels used only for leisure purposes, will be allowed to use the same CE certification as Class 4 vessels for structural approval
- Owners of medium-frequency vessels will be provided the flexibility to complete a year 3 survey either in water or out of water, and owners of high-frequency vessels will have flexibility to swap their year 2 and 3 surveys
- Alignment of construction documentation requirements for restricted C vessels with risk levels, reducing the necessary documentation
- Clarification that Accredited Marine Surveyors may use their own reporting forms, provided these have the required level of detail
- Inclusion of reporting obligations for repair and damage surveys
- Survey tables expanded to remove ambiguity and improve consistency and reliability in the survey processes.
Read more about the proposed revisions and tell us what you think until midnight on Tuesday 2 April 2024.
