On 1 January 1993 the Netherlands Administration introduced the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification on

merchantships of the Netherlands Kingdom. In June 1993 the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate published a brochure

in which the general outline of the history, the provisions, the advantages and the disadvantages of the HSSC-system

was given.

In January 1996 guidelines were published with detailed particulars of the provisions of HSSC, certificates, surveys,

endorsements and procedures, thus enabling surveyors and masters to act in conformity with the provisions and to

make the ultimate use of the HSSC system.

On the 2ndof February 2000 the 1988 HSSC Protocols entered into force worldwide. Because of this fact and the

further authorization of recognized organisations by Shipping Inspectorate the 1996 HSSC guidelines have been

updated.

The guidelines can also be used for non-classed ships whereby for Recognized Organisation should be read

Shipping Inspectorate.

Rotterdam, April 20001. INTRODUCTION

On 1 January 1993, the provisions of the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (HSSC) Protocols entered

into force for ships registered in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. In a time span of 5 years the

whole fleet of ships registered in the Kingdom of the Netherlands to which the Netherlands Shipping Act is applicable,has been brought into the HSSC-system.

Other Administrations were informed through the IMO that the HSSC was being used by the Netherlands. In

accordance with the regulations, HSSC certificates issued by the Netherlands Administration bore the header: "issued...

in accordance with Assembly resolution A 718(17) relating to the early implementation of the harmonized system of survey and

certification".

As on the 3rd

of February 2000 the 1988 HSSC Protocols have entered into force the header in the certificates is not

needed anymore. At renewal modified certificates will be issued.

The HSSC regulations as applied in the Kingdom of the Netherlands are practically identical to the international HSSC

regulations contained in the 1988 SOLAS Protocol and the 1988 Load Line Protocol. The Kingdom has not, however,

adopted the provisions laid down in regulation 14 (b)(iii), (h)(i) and (h)(ii). Under this regulation, the anniversary date

will be amended when the surveys are performed more than 3 months before the anniversary date. The Netherlands'

regulations stipulate that the anniversary date can not be changed and additional surveys shall be carried out.

The Shipping Inspectorate operates in close co-operation with recognized organisations.On 21 November 1996 the Netherlands Inspectorate reached an agreement with the Recognized Organisations (RO)

authorized to perform surveys, on the division of duties for the survey and certification of classed cargo ships

registered in the Netherlands Kingdom.

Also for ships not under supervision of a Recognized Organisation (RO) but under the supervision of the Netherlands

Shipping Inspectorate, the agreement provided guidance.

As per April 2000 the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate has further authorized the Recognized Organisations to

perform duties, the agreement has been amended. Consequently the detailed guidelines and instructions, laid down in

the HSSC guidelines, has been amended as well.

Unless stated otherwise in the following guidelines, "ships" are ships registered in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Under the HSSC system, the following elements are significant to these guidelines:2.1 The allocation of activities between the Shipping Inspectorate, the Recognized Organisations (RO) and

2.2 Surveys

2.3 Inspection of the outside of the ship's bottom

2.4 Certificates

2.1 ALLOCATION OF ACTIVITIES BETWEEN THE SHIPPING INSPECTORATE, THE RECOGNIZED

ORGANISATIONS AND RDR

Under the HSSC, the activities in connection with the survey and certification of cargo ships are divided between the

Shipping Inspectorate, the Recognized Organisations and RDR as follows:

1. Initial or renewal surveys for the purpose of issuing an (internat ional) certificate, excluding surveys performed in

connection with Load Line, Construction or Radio Safety Certificates, will always be performed by the Shipping

Inspectorate. In exceptional cases, the Head of the Shipping Inspectorate may authorize a Recognized Organisation

or foreign Administration to perform these surveys.

2. Initial or renewal surveys for the purpose of issuing certificates concerning Load Line or safety construction will be

performed by a Recognized Organisation. The regulations pertaining to the approval of drawings are specified in

greater detail in NSI Circular letter nr. 29 "Drawings to be submitted for approval for ships other than fishing vessels".

3. All certificates referred to in section 2.4 shall be issued by the Shipping Inspectorate. In exceptional cases, at the

request of the Head of the Shipping Inspectorate, interim or short-term certificates may be issued by a Recognized

Organisation on behalf of.

4. The Recognized Organisations have a permanent authorizat ion to conduct surveys relating to Load Line,

Construction Safety, Life-Saving Appliances and Gas/Chemical/IOPP aspects, as indicated in the table in section 2.2.

Constructional aspects and equipment required for the carriage of dangerous cargoes ( in compliance with Reg. II-2/54

of SOLAS) shall be surveyed in the scope of the aforementioned surveys.

In compliance with the authorization the initial and renewal surveys are carried out by NSI, the annual surveys by

Recognized Organisations.

The Recognized Organisation have no permanent authorization to conduct the periodical surveys of safety equipment

on cargo ships and the intermediate inspections of gas and chemical tankers (see table section 2.2).

In exceptional cases, the Head of the Shipping Inspectorate may authorize a Recognized Organisation on a case- by-

case basis to perform these surveys.

5. If the results of the survey are satisfactory, the surveyor may endorse the certificate concerned (or part of it).

Confirmation of this endorsement, together with the by NSI required information regarding the inspection(s) held, shall

be forwarded to NSI.

If an inspection has not been satisfactory, NSI shall be notified about the outstanding items by means of an inspection

report, using the codes of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control.

6. The RO statutory surveys may only be performed by "exclusive" surveyors, i.e. surveyors who work solely for the

Recognized Organisation concerned.

Where RO is not able to offer statutory survey services by exclusive surveyors, then another recognized organisation

may, with the full knowledge and consent of RO, render such services on request of the NSI. Exceptionally, by prior

agreement a non-exclusive surveyor may be accepted.

7. The Shipping Inspectorate is responsible for supervising the activities of the Recognized Organisations.

8. Surveys performed in connection with the issue or renewal of special certificates, such as those required for MODUs

(Mobile Offshore Drilling Units), SPSs (Special Purpose Ships), Dynamically supported craft and High speed craft, will

be performed by the Shipping Inspectorate. In exceptional cases, the Head of the Shipping Inspectorate may authorize

a Recognized Organisation or f oreign Administration to perform these surveys.

9. Surveys of radio-installations and -equipment will be performed in the Netherlands by officials of theRadiocommunicatios Agency (RDR) of the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management and abroad by

a Recognized Organisation (RO). The master, owner or agent may contact directly RDR or the RO abroad for

application of a radiosurvey.

10. In Chapter 3 reference is made to "Guidelines for HSSC inspections (Res. A 746)" as amended. Herewith it is

8/12/2019 HSSCindex

4/36


emphasized that application of this GL shall be in accordance with the general authorization of tasks to Recognized

Organisations. For instance, some construction items will be looked after by NSI at initial survey. Recognized

Organisations are not authorized to deal with manning aspects.

11. The regulations for surveys, the certification and endorsement of international HSSC certificates for ships are

practically identical to the regulations contained in the 1988 SOLAS Protocol, the 1988 Load Line Protocol and the

HSSC-Resolutions of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) and the Maritime Safety Committee

(MSC) which apply to MARPOL 73/78 and to the gas and chemical codes. The Netherlands has not however, adopted theprovisions laid down in regulation 14 (b)(iii), (h)(i) and (h)(ii) of the 1988 SOLAS Protocol. Under this regulation, the anniversary-date

shall be amended when the surveys are performed more than 3 months before the anniversary date. The Netherlands

regulations stipulate that the anniversary date must not be changed and additional surveys must be carried out.

12 Although HSSC is not applicable to ISM code the assessment procedure in accordance with ISM code is

incorporated in these guidelines in order to provide the surveyors and masters a clear picture of all statutorycertificates on board and the required surveys.

2.2 SURVEYS

The HSSC distinguishes between the following surveys:

1. Initial surveys

2. Renewal surveys

3. Periodical surveys4. Intermediate surveys

5. Annual surveys

6. Additional surveys

7. Inspections of the outside of the ship's bottom (see 2.3)

* or RO outside the Nether lands or Netherlands Antilles ** assessments

will be performed by RO in close co-operation with NSI

*** additional assessment is required when substantial modifications to SMS have occurred or a major non-

comformity has been identified. Additional assessment shall then be carried out by NSI in co-operation with RO.

* * * * if applicable (see 3.10.2 and 3.10.3) by RO or RDR (radio)

The tables below show the various surveys and the organizations authorized to conduct them

8/12/2019 HSSCindex

5/36


MODUs and SPSs

The above arrangements for "ships which are not passenger ships" also apply to Mobile Offshore Drilling Units

(MODUs) and Special Purpose Ships (SPSs). The initial, renewal and additional surveys required for these ships are

performed by the Shipping Inspectorate.

Passengerships

The HSSC regulations for passengerships are different from the regulations for cargoships. To avoid confusion, the

main differences are listed below:

- A passenger ship will be issued with a Safety Certificate with a validity for a maximum of one year.

- A passenger ship will be issued with a Certificate of Seaworthiness with a validity for a maximum of one year.

- The outside of a passengership's hull and bottom must be inspected every year. This can be performed in dry

dock or, alternatively, take the form of an in-water-survey, using divers and underwater video cameras (see 2.3).

The Recognized Organisations have detailed instructions for these surveys.

The tables below show the various surveys and the organizations authorized to perform them.

* or RO outside the Nether lands or Netherlands Antilles ** assessments

will be performed by RO in close co-operation with NSI

*** additional assessment is required when substantial modifications SMS have occured or gross non-comformity has

been identified.

Actions to be taken when a mandatory survey has not been carried out or when the survey has been carried out

outside the "windows"

The mandatory surveys (renewal, intermediate, annual and periodical) shall be carried out within a period ("window")

of three months before or after the anniversary date. For sake of clearance, an intermediate or periodical survey shall

be held, and is then replacing, at the time the second or third annual inspection. When the survey has not been

performed at all or outside the "window", endorsement of the certificate is not permitted and consequently the validity

of the certificate expires.

The owner of the ship shall contact the Shipping Inspectorate and shall explain why the relevant survey has not been

carried out or why the survey has been carried out outside the "window".The Head of the Shipping Inspectorate will consider this information and lay down the scope and depth of the

additional survey which have to be performed. When this survey has been carried out to the satisfaction of the

surveyor, the relevant certificate (or part thereof) shall be endorsed by the surveyor of the Recognized Organisation or

an official of the Shipping Inspectorate.

The certificate shall be provided with the following remark:

at the request of the Netherlands Administration a thorough and stringent survey has been carried out, after which the validity of

this certificate has been restored.

2.3 INSPECTION OF OUTSIDE OF SHIP'S BOTTOM

The outside of a cargo ship's bottom must be inspected twice every five years. This five-year period need not coincide

with the anniversary date, allowing the ship owner some flexibility with the surveys. The period betweentwo of these surveys must not exceed 36 months. The time between the second inspection and the subsequent one

must in that case not exceed 24 months. This means that in any 5 year period two surveys of the outside of ship's

bottom are required, with a maximum period between two consecutive inspections of 36 months.

It is not necessary for the ship to be inspected in dry dock for every bottom-survey. Every second survey may take the

form of an in-water survey using divers and underwater cameras. The Recognized Organisations have detailed

instructions for these surveys.

In exceptional cases, the five-year period can be extended by a maximum of three months. This would be granted in

cases where, due to unforeseen circumstances, a sh ip is unable to reach the port in which the survey is to take place

by the specified time (see regulation 14 (e) and 14 (f) of the Annex to the 1988 SOLAS Protocol).

When issuing a new Safety Certificate for a cargo ship, the Shipping Inspectorate will indicate the dates of the last two

bottom surveys on the Safety Certificate.For non-Solas vessels these dates are indicated on the annexes of the Certificate of Seaworthiness.

If a survey of the ship's bottom is part of the renewal surveys, the date of this survey is indicated in the new safety

certificate.

On 1 January 1996 IMO Res.A.744 entered into force requiring a dry docking to be part of the renewal survey for

bulkcarriers as defined in regulation IX/1.6, crude tankers > 20.000 tons and product tankers^ 30.000 tons.The

Kingdom of the Netherlands has adopted this resolution.

At the 1997 Solas conference amendments to the convention have been adopted aimed at enhancing the safety of

bulkcarriers. At the same time amendments to Res.A 744 were adopted.

The Enhanced Survey Programme is from the 1stof July 1999 applicable to oiltankers and bulkcarriers > 500 GT.

IMO has been informed that also other ships to which the Enhanced Survey Programme is not applicable may

choose for a docking cycle in which the anniversary date is linked to the dry docking. In this case the "5 year

period" synchronizes with the validity date of the certificate.

Inspection of the outside of the bottom of passenger ships shall be part of the renewal survey.In a 5 year period two of

these inspections shall be performed in dry-dock, the other inspections may be in-water surveys in compliance with

the RO's guidelines for these surveys.

HS craft shall be inspected out of the water as part of the renewal and periodical survey. On a case by case base aHS craft may be exempted from this requirement.

2.4 CERTIFICATES

The following certificates are issued under the HSSC:

- Certificate of Seaworthiness (nat ional certificate)

- the Load Line Certificate

- International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate (IOPP) (for vessels not required to have an IOPP certificate, a

Declaration of Compliance is issued instead of an IOPP certificate)

- Safety Certif icate for cargo ships (for ships of 500 tons gross tonnage or more)

- Safety Certif icate for passengerships

- Radio Safety Certificate for cargo ships (of 300 tons gross tonnage or more but less than 500 tons)

- Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (COF chemicals)

- Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases in Bulk (COF gases)

- International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk (NLS)

- Document of Compliance/ Safety Management Certificate (ISM)

- Document of Compliance for Carriage Dangerous Goods

- Document of Authorizat ion for Carriage of Grain

- Exemption Certif icates

The following less common certificates are also issued under the HSSC regulations:

8/12/2019 HSSCindex

7/36


- Safety Certif icate for Special Purpose Ships (SPS)

- Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage and Processing of Limited Quantities of Noxious and Harmful Liquid

Substances for offshore supply vessels (COF for offshore supply vessels)

- Safety Certif icate for Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU).

- Dynamically supported craft safety certificateHigh speed craft safety certificate

Further general information Certificate of Seaworthiness

All ships are provided with a national certificate, the Certificate of Seaworthiness.

With the introduction of the HSSC system, the Certificate of Seaworthiness (C.o.S) for cargo ships will now have a

validity of five years.

A distinction is made between a C.o.S for SOLAS and non-SOLAS vessels. A C.o.S of a vessel > 500 tons, with

propulsion, does not require endorsements.

A C.o.S of other vessels has to be annually endorsed as these vessels do not have (all) Solas certificates. Therefore

such a C.o.S is provided with page(s) for the required endorsements.

(see 3.10, 3.10.1, 3.10.2 en 3.10.3).

The endorsement is made by the surveyor who has completed the last inspection. This surveyor may be a surveyor of

a Recognized Organisation. If the endorsement is made by a surveyor from a Recognized Organisation, he must

notify the Shipping Inspectorate, through his organisation.

Safety Certificate for cargo ships

The Kingdom of the Netherlands has decided to take advantage of the option provided for in the Protocol to replace

the Safety Construction Certificate, the Safety Equipment Certificate and the Radio Safety Certificate by a singleSafety Certificate for cargo ships. This new certificate consists of a General Certificate, an Equipment Report and

annexes for the endorsements, and is valid for a period of not more than 5 years.

If during a survey a minor amendment to the equipment report is necessary, this may be done by the surveyor of the

Recognized Organisation or the Shipping Inspectorate and this amendment shall be certified with name, date,

signature and stamp of the organisation or Shipping Inspectorate.

By applying the HSSC-system the Safety Equipment Certificate, the Safety Construction Certificate and the Radio

Safety Certificate therefore no longer are used on board of ships of 500 tons gross tonnage and upwards. Only ships

of 300 tons gross tonnage and more but less than 500 tons continue to need a Radio Safety Certificate.

The next chapter explains the procedures for surveys and endorsements in greater detail.3 APPLICATION
