For a safety inspection of a vessel moored in the water, SAMSA now require a hull inspection by a safety officer every 4 years, with interim hull inspections by the owner.

The initial hull inspection conducted by a safety officer will be valid for 24 months from the date of the inspection.

A hull inspection conducted by the owner extends the validity period by 24 months from the date of the owner’s hull inspection, but to a maximum of 48 months from the date of the initial safety inspection by the safety officer.

The owner may do more than one extension, on the understanding that the hull inspection certificate cannot be extended beyond 48 months from the initial safety officer inspection. 

From July 2021, SA Sailing will not do a safety inspection or issue a CoF for a vessel where the safety inspection is conducted on the vessel in the water unless it has a valid hull inspection certificate.
