4.4.1 In cases where a major conversion is made
to a ship, the shipowner should submit to a verifier an application
for an Additional Survey with the EEDI Technical File duly revised
based on the conversion made and other relevant background documents.
4.4.2 The background documents should include
at least but are not limited to:
-
.1 documents explaining details of the conversion;
-
.2 EEDI parameters changed after the conversion
and the technical justifications for each respective parameter;
-
.3 reasons for other changes made in the EEDI
Technical File, if any; and
-
.4 calculated value of the attained EEDI with
the calculation summary, which should contain, at a minimum, each
value of the calculation parameters and the calculation process used
to determine the attained EEDI after the conversion.
4.4.3 The verifier should review the revised EEDI
Technical File and other documents submitted and verify the calculation
process of the attained EEDI to ensure that it is technically sound
and reasonable and follows regulation 20 of MARPOL Annex VI and the
EEDI Calculation Guidelines.
4.4.4 For verification of the attained EEDI after
a conversion, speed trials of the ship are required, as necessary.
