SAFCON Survey Prep Checklist

The document outlines items that should be checked before a SAFCON (Safety Construction) survey. These include ensuring the structural strength of the vessel and its watertight integrity. Equipment like bilge pumps, electrical systems, fire protection, machinery, steering gear, and means of communication and escape should be in good working condition. For tankers over 10,000 GT, additional items like hydraulic steering systems, cargo tank equipment, and emergency towing arrangements must be checked. Proper arrangements for unmanned machinery space ships and other equipment as required by vessel type and company procedures should also be reviewed.
