at the first quinquennial inspection after the ship is 24 years old, after the next 10
years, after the next nine years, and every eight years thereafter, except that where,
upon external examination, the inspector finds the condition of the bunkers to be
satisfactory, the gas-freeing, cleaning and internal examination is not necessary.
(3) At the inspection referred to in paragraph (1)(b) and subparagraph (2)(a)(ii), the
following requirements apply:
(a) subject to paragraph (b), the shell plating of a ship shall be drilled at such
parts as may be considered necessary to ascertain its thickness and for this purpose the
following requirements apply:
(i) the number of holes drilled on each side of the ship shall in no case be less than
three in each strake of plating not covered with cement,
(ii) the holes shall be drilled about amidships and in the vicinity of the peak
bulkheads,
(iii) all paint and rust shall be removed from the area of the plating surrounding the
holes before the thickness of the plating is gauged,
(iv) the thickness of the plating at all holes drilled shall be recorded by the
inspector, and
(v) the plating covered with cement in the bottom of a ship need not be drilled if, in
the opinion of the inspector, the cement is adhering to the plating and it is unnecessary
to drill at that place;
(b) in the case of a Great Lakes ship, the inspector shall satisfy himself that the
condition of the shell plating is satisfactory and in so doing he shall
(i) give special attention to those parts of the ship that are subject to damage in
canals and locks and to all parts of the ship that are particularly subject to excessive
corrosion or wear and tear, and
(ii) ascertain the thickness of the shell plating by drilling holes in such places as
he deems necessary;
(c) where the holds of a ship are insulated for the purpose of carrying refrigerated
cargo, and the hull covered by insulation was inspected when the insulation was fitted,
insulation additional to that removed pursuant to paragraph 26(j) shall be removed in each
of the chambers in order to allow the condition of the framing and plating to be
ascertained and the shell plating drilled as prescribed in paragraph (a); and
(d) all mast and bowsprit wedging of a ship shall be removed whether the plating in way
is doubled or not.
28. Inspection of the statutory equipment required to be carried in a
ship shall be as follows:
(1) Lifeboats:
(a) all lifeboats shall be swung out and lowered into the water at every inspection
except that in exceptional circumstances lowering of the lifeboats may be waived at the
