DESCRIPTION<br />

(e.g. very lightweight high-speed craft). When “Annual Survey” is part <strong>of</strong> a vessel’s Hull<br />
<strong>Class</strong>ification, all <strong>the</strong> requirements <strong>of</strong> Special Periodical Survey – Hull, except for tank testing, are<br />
required each year for <strong>the</strong> first four years <strong>of</strong> each five-year cycle. This survey is referred to as a<br />
Special Annual Survey (SAS). At <strong>the</strong> fifth year, a complete Special Periodical Survey – Hull,<br />
including tank testing, is required.<br />
