What is an in-water survey of ship? It is an examination of the ship’s bottom and related items carried out by divers, which can be an alternative to having the ship in drydock. It provides the information normally obtained from a docking survey and must be carried out under the surveillance of a surveyor by the ship’s Classification Society and under special conditions.
