- Here below factors we normally take into account before deciding if performing the survey while the vessel is transiting the canal:
- For surveys that need equipment test, we can use some anchorage time, before or after canal transit.
- If the vessel is planned to have a stop-over in the lake, it is a good opportunity to check the bridge and decks.
- Canal transit time is perfect to inspect Engine room areas and interview Engineers.
- Bunker time before or after Canal is a good time to interview Bridge Crew.
- Tanks inspections is possible at the anchorages.
- IHM Surveys is possible during Panama Canal Transit without the need for Anchorage time.
- 3D Scanning is only possible during Anchorage time and/or port call, as the vibration while the vessel is moving can affect the quality of the 3D Scans.
- ISM-MLC-ISPS Audits, possible during Canal, and timing the critical equipment test at the anchorages.
