Safety Construction Survey

This episode covers the safety construction survey, the checks on the ship's structure, watertight integrity and machinery that keep her sound. Hull, bulkheads, watertight doors and the closing appliances, set out the way it actually runs on board. A plain walk through the safety construction survey. I go over the structural fire protection, the watertight and weathertight arrangements and the machinery spaces, based on real practice rather than the textbook. Safety construction survey, explained without the jargon. From the hull and framing to the bilge pumping and the certificates behind it all.
