IMO CAS Condition Assessment Scheme 2006 Edition I530E

In view of the revised MARPOL Annex I coming into force on 1 January 2007, as did the amendments to CAS by resolution MEPC.131(53), the purpose of this publication is to provide an easy reference to the up-to-date provisions of CAS, including incorporation of all of the amendments that have been adopted by the MEPC, up to and including the amendments adopted by resolution MEPC.131(53).

The CAS is intended to complement the requirements of Annex B of the Guidelines on the enhanced programme of inspections during surveys of bulk carriers and oil tankers (IMO Resolution A.744(18), as amended). The CAS is to verify that the structural condition of a single hull oil tanker at the time of survey is acceptable and, provided subsequent periodical surveys are satisfactorily completed and effective maintenance is carried out by the ship's operator, will continue to be acceptable for a continued period of operation, as indicated in the Statement of Compliance or Interim Statement of Compliance, as applicable.
