DEFINITION OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT A) Hull Structure

□ Good: Unimpaired condition without significant wear or deviation from original strength and operation efficiency. No maintenance or repair required.

□ Satisfactory: Condition with wear and tear and other deficiencies of a minor nature not requiring correction or repair.

□ Reasonable Condition with wear and tear and other deficiencies of a nature which is considered acceptable but, correction and/or repairs may be required after a close-up survey.

□ Unsatisfactory: Condition in which the adequacy of strength and/or operation efficiency is marginally below acceptable limits or is in doubt, requiring correction or repair.

□ Poor: Condition of undoubtedly inadequate strength or operational efficiency. Immediate extensive repairs required to reinstate serviceability.

B) Coating □ Good Condition with only spot minor rusting. □ Fair Condition with local breakdown at edges of stiffeners and weld connections and/or

light rusting not more than 25a/o. □ Poor Condition with general breakdown of coating over 25"/o of areas-or hard scale of

150/a or more. C) Description of Rust Level

□ Very Light A surface corrosion at its first stage (psoriasis), which can be easily removed even with wire brush.

□ Moderate A corrosion of maximum 4 mm thick, but free of pitting or apparent steel wastage problems.

□ Heavy A corrosion in excess of 5 mm thick and with apparent signs of steel wastage

problems above 15% of the original steel thickness. -
