Survey planning of Offshore structures and FPSOs is based upon risk based methodologies
because of the nature of their operations as well as the practical difficulties (fixed installati
constraints on bringing FPSO out of operation into dry-dock) involved. Other major class so
are providing such services. There is scope for IRS to venture and compete with the major
in this category because it is still a relatively new area. This will also help benefit our CAP s
as well as ESP for Oil tankers/Bulk carriers more than 15 years of age.

LNG fuelled ships are now gaining prominence given the increasing pressure on the marine
community for reducing emissions and increased ship efficiencies. Government of India is a
encouraging use of LNG fueled barges on inland waterways. This area has excellent potent
However the design of such ships is governed by IGF code which necessitates Risk assessm
Thus it is essential to initiate work for developing a new line of service on the same. The w
proposed to be started by initiating careful study and understanding of the IGF code.

Big Data analytics are extensively being used today with all industries within the world. In
industry, class societies are recording such data (e.g ClassNK has opened a separate divisi
this). Analysis of such data can help the client optimize his operations and make them mor
efficient. The analysis requires special personnel hence it would be much beneficial for the
to approach class for services rather than develop internal team. IRS also has big data in te
all the plans, survey reports, statutory surveys etc in our archives. These need to be assim
and translated into more efficient rules, survey guidances which would ultimately benefit t
shipowner/operator community

IRS results will be compared with those obtained by participants from DNV, LR, BV, etc. Be
develop IRS spectral fatigue methodology/guideline which will be used for CAP services an
assessment of existing ships.
