XXXXXXXXXXXX O.N. XXXXXX


on the XXth XXXXXX, XXXX at the XXXXXXX XXXXX,XXXXXXX and there, in the presence of the owner, carried out a Light Weight check in accordance with OAN572 Revision 03.


Weather Conditions The weather was fine and there was no wind. The water was calm with zero current. The vessel was moored first starboard side to but later remoored to port side to.


Ship’s Condition


Fuel Tank F.W. Tank

Conclusion The freeboard readings taken at this light ship check correlate closely with those previously recorded at the XXXX test. The differences between the two sets of measurements are within the allowable limits stipulated in OAN572 Rev.03. There was no evidence of physical changes to the vessel that may significantly affect her transverse metacentric stability and it was, therefore, considered that the stability of the vessel may be accepted as satisfactory at this verification.*
