(1) If such survey reveals no visible structural defects, then the examination may be limited to verification that the protective coat-
ing remains efficient.
(2) Where poor coating condition, corrosion or other defects are found in salt water ballast tanks or where a protective coating has
never been applied, i.e. neither at the time of construction nor thereafter, or where sacrificial anodes where fitted are found to
be more than 50% depleted, the examination is to be extended to other ballast tanks of the same type.
(3) For salt water ballast spaces other than double bottom tanks, where a protective coating is found in poor condition, and is not
renewed, where soft coating has been applied or where a protective coating has never been applied, i.e. neither at the time of
construction nor thereafter, maintenance of class is to be subject to the spaces in question being internally examined and thick-
ness measurement carried out as considered necessary at annual surveys.
For salt water ballast double bottom tanks, where such breakdown of coating is found and is not renewed, where soft coating
has been applied or where a protective coating has never been applied, i.e. neither at the time of construction nor thereafter,
maintenance of class may be subject to the tanks in question being internally examined and thickness measurement carried out
as considered necessary at annual surveys.
(4) The extent of close-up surveys may be increased in accordance with the requirements in [6.3.3].
(5) For areas in tanks where protective coating is found to be in good condition, the extent of close-up survey may be specially
considered.
(6) Where substantial corrosion, is found, the extent of thickness measurements is to be increased to the satisfaction of the Surveyor.
(7) If such survey reveals no visible structural defects, then the examination may be limited to verification that the protective coat-
ing remains efficient and that the sacrificial anodes, if any, are less than 50% depleted.
