Delegated Statutory Inspection Program (DSIP)• Where have we been?• Where are we?• Is it Working?• Where to?• Conclusions

What I’ll cover


What is the Delegated Statutory Inspection Program (DSIP)?• Tool for Flag State Inspections

• Delegation of statutory inspection function to recognized organizations (RO)

• Five Classification Societies (at this time)

• Can be to any organization or individual


Implementation

of standards for:

Strength

Propelling machinery

Electrical systems

Control systems

Anchoring equipment

Strength

Fire & lifesaving

Communications

Damage stability

Regulatory Relationships


Where have we been?

• Load Lines were delegated in the late 1960s

• Policy to delegate in early 1980s• Partial for classed tugs and

lakers• Renewed policy in 1994 and

1996• First agreement – Dec. 4, 2000• ISM in 2000 as well


Where have we been?

• First enrolment – March 14, 2001 –laker Canadian Enterprise

• First tug enrolled – Dec. 11, 2001 – Placentia Pride

• First new construction tug project in early 2005

• Now a major push to complete delegating all ships in class.

• Alternative Service Delivery being discussed for all existing ships over 24m

• Mandatory class and delegation for new ships over 24m


Where are we?

• When Bud spoke at Towboat 2007, there were 91 classed vessels in the program

• Today, of 365 listed classed vessels, 326 are delegated or waiting for handover surveys.

• 1/3 of those are in the Atlantic Canada Region of TC with the remainder evenly spread over the other 4 regions.

So where to?

At the last CMAC, TC presented Alternative Service Delivery (ASD) for the Certification of Vessels of 24m and Above .

• Such vessels will obtain certificates from RO’s• Presently 5 RO’s in Canada (ABS, BV, DNV, GL and LR)

• There are 4 outstanding formal applications for recognition.

• New vessels will be built to class and entered in DSIP

• Imported vessels will be classed and entered in DSIP

• BUT…….What about existing vessels????


So Where to?

• There are estimated to be 470 vessels of this category which are not “classed” with any of the ROs.

• 177 of those are in the Pacific and Prairie and Northern Regions of Transport Canada.

• 148 are categorised as Tugs/Workboats and Barges.

• Volume and workload could be a challenge.


So where to?

• But the biggest “challenge” is….

333 are older than 30 years!!


Owner contracts shipyard to build ship to meet regulations:

- Classification Rules;

- IMO International Conventions

- Administrations Special Requirements

Shipyard or owner provides design to Class for approval

Class surveyors inspect, test and approve materials, components, hull, machinery and statutory items

Ship delivered to owner with classification and statutory certification in place.

Ship is subjected to periodic surveys during ships life to maintain classification and statutory certification.

Ship reaches end of life and is recycled.

The Lifecycle Process


The Role of Classification Societies AssuranceAt delivery certification assures

that:

• The ship has been designed to a prescribed standard that reflects the operational requirement

• The ship has been constructed to those standards, using traceable materials and components

• Establishes records for in service phase


So where to?

• TC recognize that some ships may not be able to enter into class at all.

• TC have indicated that existing ships “will not be expected to enter into class if would cause undue hardship to the vessel owner”.


So Where to?

• Certification options to explore….

• TC continue to issue certificates following their inspections

• TC issue certificates based on Statements of Compliance issued by their ROs.

• “latent defect “provisions agreed between TC and ROs.


Conclusions

• Delegation is working as a strengthening partnership between owner, seafarers, RO and TCMS.

• Delegation can improve through more owner-friendly, yet robust, Acceptance into Class (AIC) processes.

• Owners and operators must continue to monitor and improve their compliance performance.

• ROs must continue to refine and improve their survey performance

• TCMS must continue to improve and refine their monitoring processes.


Thank You!

And apologies from Bud for missing an important event.
