- Actions to ensure weight distribution does not compromise vessel safety are identified, confirmed with surveyor and incorporated into survey task as required
- Actions to be taken in anticipation of environmental changes that may affect vessel stability are identified, confirmed with surveyor and incorporated into survey task as required
- Actions to be taken in emergency situations to maintain vessel stability within safe limits are identified, confirmed with and implemented promptly and effectively
- Carry out reporting requirements
- Recorded calculations are reviewed by surveyor for accuracy and relevance
- Draft survey report is developed and reviewed with surveyor for accuracy and compliance
- Feedback provided on draft survey report is acknowledged and draft report is amended as required
