Subject

Change in Inspection Method Due to Amendment of


Rules for Propeller Shaft Surveys
Technical
Information
No. TEC-1277
Date 1 September 2022
To whom it may concern

Due to the amendment of requirements regarding propeller shaft surveys (scheduled to take into effect
on 1 October 2022 (hereinafter, referred to as "effective date")), partial surveys or simplified partial
surveys may now be performed consecutively instead of the propeller shaft ordinary surveys required
every five years since the last propeller shaft ordinary survey after the effective date. Thus, if the results
of such partial surveys are favorable, the maximum interval between propeller shaft withdrawal will be
now 15 years. (However, seawater lubricated systems are excluded, and ships affixed with PSCM
notation remain as before.)

Furthermore, in addition to 3-month and 1-year extensions, 2.5-year extensions may now be requested
for survey due dates (except for seawater lubricated systems).

PSCM･A, which is affixed to the class notation as a preventive maintenance management system for
propeller shafts will be integrated with PSCM, and the only class notation for propeller shafts survey
will now be PSCM, which is a preventive maintenance management system for propeller shafts. (Re-
approval of PSCM and PSCM･A management manuals is not required.)

For vessels currently affixed with PSCM･A, a new classification certificate will be issued with the class
notation changed to PSCM; therefore, it is not necessary to apply again.

For vessels affixed with PSCM notation, in addition to the existing requirement of lubricating oil
analysis every 6 months, it will be required to analyse (visual confirmation) the water content of the
lubricating oil on board at least once a month after the effective date. Therefore, please check the water
content in the lubricating oil every month and keep a record of the results on board.
