The "Construction Rules" cover Rules for Materials and Rules for Welding and any other special Rules published by BKI that may be applicable from case to case.

1.2 The following shall apply unless otherwise specified 1.2.1 The date of "contract for construction" of a vessel is the date on which the contract to build the vessel is signed between the prospective ship owner and the shipyard. This date is normally to be declared to BKI by the ordering client applying for the assignment of Class to a newbuilding, see also D.1. 1.2.2 The date of "contract for construction" of a series of sister vessels1, including specified optional vessels for which the option is ultimately exercised, is the date on which the contract to build the series is signed between the prospective ship owner and the shipyard. Sister vessels are vessels built to the same approved plans for Classification purposes. The optional vessels will be considered part of the 1 "Sister vessels may have minor design alterations provided such alterations do not affect matters related to Classification.

same series of sister vessels if the option is exercised not later than one year after the contract to build the series was signed. 1.2.3 If a contract for construction is later amended to include additional vessels or additional options, the date of "contract for construction" for such vessels is the date on which the amendment to the contract is signed between the prospective ship owner and the shipyard. The amendment to the contract is to be considered as a "new contract" to which 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 apply. 1.3 Statutory Rules and Regulations National Rules and Regulations as, for instance, adopted by the respective flag state will as a matter of principle not be affected by the Rules for Classification and Surveys. However, various requirements stipulated by international conventions are taken into account in the BKI Rules. See also Section 3.A.4. 2. Scope 2.1 Classification covers the ship's hull, machinery, including electrical installations and anchoring equipments. 2.2 On application, certain installations e.g. refrigerating installations may be classed separately.

This survey is to be carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Class Renewal Survey. On application, BKI may agree to the date of the Reclassification Survey governing the subsequent periods of class. 6.6 Where parts are damaged or worn to such an extent that they no longer comply with the requirements of BKI, they are to be repaired or replaced. Maintenance work, repairs and conversions of ships classed have to be carried out under supervision by BKI for ensuring maintenance or reassignment of class. Technically, the areas affected by the repair and conversion are to be treated in the same way as new buildings, irrespective of whether the hull, the machinery, including the electrical installation, the inert gas system, automated systems or other classed equipment are concerned. 6.7 If following major conversions a new character of class and/or new notations are

assigned so that new certificates have to be issued, commencement of a new period of class may be agreed about. 6.8. If for some reason the class has expired or has been withdrawn by BKI, this will be indicated in the Register. 6.9 When the vessel has lost her class and/or the Owner is not interested in maintaining the class or in reclassification of the ship, Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia shall be informed. The Certificates of Classification shall be returned to BKI. 7. Laid-up Ships 7.1 The period of class for hull and machinery remains continues in force throughout the laying-up period. This means that periodical surveys will have to be carried out as before; for which dry-docked is required, may be postponed until re-commissioning. Apart from this, the regulations as per C.5 apply. 7.2 Upon expiry of the class, including the maximum possible extension, a survey substituting the class renewal survey will have to be performed. An entry on the class renewal will be made into the Class Certificate, with the notation "Laid-up Ship", and published in the Ship Register. 7.3 At the time of re-commissioning a thorough survey of the entire machinery will have to be performed in addition to the outstanding periodical surveys. Depending on the duration of the laying-up period, a sea trial and/or re-commissioning trials of specific installations and/or components will have to carried out. D.

3.3 Tests at manufacturers As far as practicable, machinery and equipment will be subjected to operational trials on the manufacturers' test bed to the scope specified in the Construction Rules. This applies also to engines produced in large series. Where the machinery, equipment or electrical installations are novel in design or have not yet sufficiently proved their efficiency under actual service conditions on board ship, BKI may require performance of a trial under particularly severe conditions. For refrigerating installations see 3.5 3.4 Shipboard trials Upon completion of the ship and/or the system/equipment to be classed, hull, machinery and electrical installations will be subjected to operational trials in the presence of the BKI Surveyor, prior to and during the sea trial. This will comprise, e.g.: - tightness, operational and load tests of tanks,

hatch covers, shell ports, ramps, etc. - operational and/or load tests of the

machinery and installations (propulsion plant, electrical installations, steering gear, anchor equipment, etc.) of importance for safe operation.

During a final survey, checks will be made to ensure that any deficiencies found, for instance during the sea trial, have been eliminated. 3.5 Refrigerating installations 3.5.1 Refrigerating machines are to be subjected to operational tests at manufacturers. 3.5.2 Fitting of the refrigerating installation will be supervised by the Surveyor, who will examine the workmanship and perform the prescribed tightness and operational tests. 3.5.3 Upon completion the entire installation will be subjected to operational trials in accordance with the requirements of the Construction Rules. 3.5.4 For refrigerating installations deviating in design from installations in common use, BKI reserve the right to require additional tests to be performed, schedule special survey dates and

make special entries in the refrigerating installation certificate and Register. 4. Reports, certificates 4.1 Testing of materials, components, machinery, etc. at subcontractor's works will be certified by BKI Branch offices. 4.2 Upon completion of the ship or installation the Surveyors will prepare construction reports, on the basis of which BKI will issue the class certificate (see C.3). E. Admission to Class 1. Application, particulars 1.1 Application 1.1.1 Applications for the classification of ships or special equipment not constructed under the supervision of BKI or not in accordance with the rules of BKI are to be addressed to BKI in writing, in triplicate.

1.2.3 Particulars – special equipment

(refrigeration installations, diving systems)

The application for classification for special equipment (refrigerating installation, diving systems) is to be accompanied by particulars in the extent, as indicated in the BKI Construction Rules. Results of the trials under working conditions are to be submitted, if an operational trial has not yet been performed, it will have to be carried out. 2. Procedure for Classification 2.1 The drawings and other particulars of relevance to classification are checked for compliance with the applicable BKI Construction Rules and/or equivalent other rules. 2.2 For admission to class the ship and / or her special equipment are to be surveyed in accordance with the provisions for class renewal survey (see Section 3). If the result of the survey is satisfactory, the class of BKI will be effective as of the date of performance of the survey. 2.3 If the ship and/or her special equipment holds the valid class of another recognized Classification Society and if sufficient proof has been furnished regarding the class status, BKI may dispense with examination of drawing and computations. A thorough inspection of indi-vidual areas and parts of the hull, the machinery and electrical plant or of refrigerating installation, may in this case be deferred until the next due date. However at least a survey to the scope of an intermediate survey is to be carried out. In such cases, the period of class will remain as assigned by the previous Classification Society.

Section 2 – Classification Page 2 - 16

2.4 A ship will not be admitted to class if the relevant drawings and computations are not submitted. 2.5 If the ship complies with the requirements of BKI, a Certificate of Classification will be issued in accordance with the Surveyor's Report on the condition of the ship. Once a ship and/or special equipment have been classed with BKI, the Rules in force as well as procedures applicable to ships and/or special equipment constructed under supervision by BKI will apply.

2.6 If a sufficient proof of the loosing society regarding the ship’s previous class status is not as yet available the survey status information provided by the owner may be used. A Provisional Class Certificate may be issued after completion of the surveys requested for Admission to Class with a statement that recommendation which are overdue, if received after issuance of the Provisional Class Certificate are to be dealt with at the next port of call.
