REFIT MANUAL
PREFACE
The increasing fleet size and the variety of machinery and systems therein have
enhanced the complexity of refits as well as the frequency of occurrence of refits in the
ICG. The requirement to meet the quality standards as well as the time line for refits
necessitates laying down of procedures and guidelines which are in line with contemporary
challenges as well as technological advancements. The Refit Manual has been prepared
in accordance with these objectives.
The contents of the Refit Manual, particularly with regard to Offloading of Refits,
are largely based on DPM-2009 and Supplement 2010 to DPM-2009. Efforts have been
made to streamline and reform the procedures and processes involved in Refit Management
and actual conduct of refits based on inputs and suggestions received from all Regions as
well as the experience gained since inception of the service. Policy changes in areas of
type and periodicity of refits and documentation related to refit monitoring have been
incorporated to improve the efficacy of refits, reduce operational downtime and ensure role
worthiness of ships throughout their life span. Efforts have also been made to address
the shortcomings and ambiguities in the existing policies and provide amplification to
DPM-2009, wherever necessary.
The Refit Manual consequently supersedes all policy letters and Coast Guard Orders
on matters related to Refits and all such letters/ orders issued till date in the service stand
cancelled. In case of any deviation/contradiction in the Refit Manual with respect to
DPM 2009, or in case of any ambiguity/contradiction observed within the Refit Manual
itself, the same is to be referred to CGHQ for clarification. The Refit Manual also needs to
be updated in tune with changes in procedures, technology and service objectives. This
would necessitate regular rendition of recommendations/ suggestions from all Regions.
Adequate blank pages are inserted in the beginning of this Refit Manual for appending all
amendments which may need to be incorporated from time to time.
It is expected that the Refit Manual, in its present form, would assist all stakeholders
in conduct of quality refits without cost or time overruns and thereby increase the operational
availability of the ICG at sea.

GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
0101. Indian Coast Guard (ICG) ships are designed and built to remain afloat, seaworthy
and role worthy for their entire life span. The periodic conduct of planned refits and
maintenance is essential to meet these objectives. The refit of a ship is a complex activity
involving the hull and all machinery, equipment, systems and fittings on board. It also
involves varied evolutions such as docking, undocking, inspections, tests and trials. A well
planned refit schedule is necessary for ensuring minimum operational downtime without
compromising the material state of ships. In view of the fact that ICG ships are generally
refitted in commercial refitting firms, a strict adherence to laid down policies and procedures
including the procedures related to offloading of refits, preparation of a well defined
unambiguous work package and the highest levels of overseeing/monitoring are imperative
for conduct of a successful refit.
0102. - 0121. FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY. size, endurance and operational role,
only for the purpose of conducting refits. The first category pertains to Interceptors which
includes specialised craft such as Interceptor Boats (IBs), Hovercraft or Air Cushion Vehicles
(ACVs) and non commissioned support vessels such as Interceptor Craft (ICs) and
Workboats (WBs). The refits of all such boats and craft are planned and promulgated at
the regional level and these refits may or may not follow a structured plan and periodicity,
depending on circumstances. The second category, viz. Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs) also
includes the Inshore Patrol Vessels (IPVs), while the third category pertains to Offshore
Patrol Vessels (OPVs) of various class. The fourth category comprises of all Special Role
Vessels (SRVs) such as the Pollution Control Vessels (PCVs), presently existing in the
service. All the second, third and fourth category of ships (FPVs, OPVs and SRVs) undergo
a structured and planned refit at well defined periodic intervals, and form part of the roll on
refit schedule promulgated by Coast Guard Headquarters (CGHQ) for a two year period.
TYPES OF REFIT

CHAPTER – 2
OFFLOADING OF REFITS
INTRODUCTION
0201. Refit of a ship consists of a large number of complex activities, many of which are
sequentially related. The entire refit process is different from other revenue procurement
activities in view of the large number of technical issues required to be addressed. The
unique nature of refits necessitates a distinct procedure for their offloading. To save hidden
costs on fuel consumption, administrative expenses, support infrastructure requirements,
etc. in offloading the refit to refitting firms located away from the base port, Limited Tender
Enquiry (LTE) to the refitting firms in the immediate geographical vicinity of the Ship’s base
and those refitting firms willing to undertake the refit in such vicinity, may be considered. In
case, the response from these refitting firms is poor, quotes may be invited from other
refitting firms to undertake the refit at the location specified by the ICG.
0202. The entire offloading procedure commences with forwarding of the refit work package
or defect list by the Ship and concludes with the signing of the Refit Contract. All cases for
offloading of refits are consolidated into an offloading plan and incorporated in the roll on
Refit Schedule, promulgated by CGHQ. The offloading plan consists of the following parts.
(a) Part A. Consolidated cases that would individually be processed under
delegated financial powers of COMDIS for the ensuing year.
(b) Part B. Consolidated cases that would individually be processed under
delegated financial powers of COMCG for the next two years.
(c) Part C. Consolidated cases that would individually be processed under
delegated financial powers of DGICG/ADG at CGHQ, for the next two years.
(d) Part D. Consolidated cases that would individually be processed under
delegated financial powers of MoD for the next two years.
0203. The suggested timelines for various activities involved in offloading of refits are
placed at Appendix A separately for Part B, Part C and Part D cases. E ines for various
activities involved in offloading of refits ppendix A separately for Part B, Part C and Part D
SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES
Rough Indicative Cost (RIC)
0204. The roll on refit offloading plan, approved by CGHQ, includes a RIC for each case
15
of refit. The RIC essentially consists of a reasonable annual escalation added to the LPP or
total cost of the previous refit of similar type for the same ship. In cases where the cost of
past refit of similar type for the same ship is not available, the RIC may be formulated
based on experience of conducting a similar type of refit on ships of the same or similar
class. The RIC enables segregation of all refit cases into Part A, B, C and D cases, for
establishing the CFA.
0206. The dates for commencement of refits, promulgated in the roll on refit schedule,
also serve to plan the offloading activities, with initiation of the defect list. The Part A cases
would generally involve refits of IBs, ACVs, ICs, WBs, etc. and the time line for initiation of
defect lists for the refits of such boats / craft may be decided by the administrative authority
on a case to case basis.
0207. For all Part B cases, the defect lists are to be forwarded by the respective ships so
as to reach the RHQ six months before scheduled commencement of refit. Similarly, the
defect lists for Part C cases are to reach the RHQ eight months before the scheduled
commencement of refit. For all Part D cases, the defect lists are to reach the RHQ ten
months before the scheduled commencement of refit. In all cases where the RHQ is not
the administrative authority of the ship, the defect lists are to be forwarded by the Ship four
weeks earlier to the administrative authority to enable receipt of defect list at the RHQ on
time.
0208. The defect list with staff remarks form the comprehensive Prequalification or EOI
document forwarded only to those registered refitting firms who are considered eligible for
undertaking that particular refit. The invitation for EOI is forwarded after receipt of defect
list and endorsement of staff remarks for seeking comments/queries of the prospective
refitting firms on the refit work package. The EOI document is to be approved at the district
16
or regional level for all Part A and Part B cases, while the Part C and Part D cases are
approved at the level of DDG(M&M) at CGHQ. While seeking approval of the competent
authority for the EOI document, approval is to be concurrently obtained for the panel of
refitting firms considered eligible for sending the invitation for EOI.
0209. A date for conduct of Request for Information Conference (RFIC) is promulgated
separately after forwarding of EOI and generally three weeks time is given to the refitting
firms to forward their queries and seek clarifications. The technical comments/queries in all
cases are to be forwarded by the refitting firms to the concerned RHQ or District
Headquarters (DHQ), as applicable and the Ship. The general location at which the intended
refit is to be undertaken, scheduled commencement date and the duration of refit are also
mentioned in the invitation for EOI. A draft sample of invitation for EOI issued by RHQ is
placed at Appendix B.
0210. The RFIC is to be held at the District / Regional level for all refit cases, irrespective
of their financial implications. The RFIC may be preferably conducted at the base port of
the Ship in order to provide an opportunity to all refitting firms to visit the Ship and undertake
a joint inspection of the defects. This would facilitate formulation of a realistic work package
for the refit.
0211. The RFIC should preferably be chaired by the CSO (Tech) of the concerned RHQ.
The Ship should be adequately represented during the RFIC with presence of the
Commanding Officer(preferably) and all departmental heads (XO, EO, LO). Subordinate
Officers/Sectional Chiefs may be associated wherever required to ensure complete
clarification on all queries of the refitting firms. The RFIC would also be attended by at least
one more officer from RHQ and one officer from DHQ (if applicable). In addition, authorised
representatives from the refitting firms and select OEM/PAC firms for main machinery and
equipment are also required to attend the RFIC.
0213. All refitting firms should forward their comments/queries to reach the ship, DHQ (if
applicable) and the RHQ at least one week before the scheduled RFIC. The concerned
ship should consolidate the queries with clarifications so that the same can be discussed
during the RFIC. The Ship’s representatives attending the RFIC should also be in possession
of the following documents:-
(a) All relevant manuals, drawings and policy letters.
(b) Maintenance schedule and D-787.
(c) Previous docking report including gauging report on shell expansion drawing.
(d) Last Refit Report.
(e) List of paints required with quantities.
(f) List of critical spares with long lead time/high value.
(g) List of projected defects liquidated since submission of Main Defect List.
0214. All administrative arrangements for the smooth conduct of the RFIC is to be made
by the concerned RHQ or the DHQ, as applicable. The RHQ is to ensure that all queries/
comments of the refitting firms are adequately addressed and there is no ambiguity with
respect to the work package. The supplementary defect list received from the ship two
weeks before the RFIC, either directly or through DHQ, is to be duly appended with staff
remarks and merged with the main defect list to form a consolidated refit work package
available for discussions during the RFIC.
0215. The following guidelines are to be followed during the conduct of the RFIC:-
(a) Discussions during RFIC are to be restricted to clarifications on technical and
logistics aspects related to the consolidated refit work package and finalisation of
the scope of work in consultation with the Ship’s Staff and the refitting firms.
(b) The yard services related to supply of water and electricity, crane services,
accommodation and shore galley (when the ship becomes uninhabitable), transport,
telephone, berthing, tug/pilot assistance, fire main supply, fax/e-mail facility, refit
office, storing space, gas free certificate, etc. are to be suitably clarified and
incorporated in the work package.
(c) The list of critical spares with long lead time or high value as well as the list of
required paints, special tools, etc. are to be discussed and a plan for their provisioning
be finalised.
(d) Jobs remarked as ‘DO’ or “Delete” by CGHQ/RHQ may be altered if considered
appropriate during the RFIC. Any job, if already completed prior RFIC during the
18
0216. The AoN is to be accorded for each individual case of refit. While seeking AoN for
each individual case, the following details should invariably be furnished for information/
approval of the CFA.
(a) Approved Refit Schedule.
(b) Place where the refit is to be undertaken.
(c) Duration, type and scheduled commencement of refit.
(d) Any specific major jobs which are to be undertaken during refit.
(e) RFIC minutes.
19
0217. All emergent cases due to service exigencies may be taken up for AoN of the CFA
separately. In such cases, if the financial implication is beyond the powers of the CFA
according AoN, then the Statement of Case (SOC) along with the draft RFP is to be referred
directly to the next higher CFA duly recommended for approval. Concurrence of the
intermediate IFA is not required, as the case will be dealt with by the next higher CFA.
0218. The RFP is essentially a Tender Enquiry for obtaining bids in two parts as follows:-
(a) Technical bid consisting of all technical details along with commercial terms
and conditions; and
(b) Financial bid for the items mentioned in the technical bid and all other
commercial terms and conditions.
0219. The AoN is accorded by the CFA concurrently with the approval of the RFP, a copy
of standard draft RFP is placed at Appendix F. The RFP forms the most important document
in the refit offloading process and should be prepared with due care, with complete details
of the items or services required, terms and conditions including payment terms and clear
instructions to the bidders. The RFP should contain full and clear specifications, scope of
requirements and the evaluation criteria, both for technical bids and commercial bids.
0220. The standard RFP along with various enclosures and the RFIC minutes together
form the complete RFP document which is floated to the refitting firms. The following are
the various documents which need to be enclosed with the standard RFP and RFIC minutes
to form the complete RFP document and a sample copy of these enclosures is placed as
mentioned against each:-
(a) Schedule of Requirements (Enclosure 1 to RFP)
(i) Annexure I : Particulars of the Vessel
(ii) Annexure II : Quantified Work Package
20
0221. The complete RFP document is to be submitted for vetting by IFA prior seeking
approval of the concerned CFA. Post approval of CFA, the complete RFP document is to
be floated to the concerned refitting firms, as approved by the CFA, through registered/
speed post and also separately by electronic mail. Adequate care is to be taken to ensure
that the RFP document is addressed separately to each refitting firm and names of all
refitting firms are not mentioned together in the RFP document. However, a copy of the
RFP document containing names of all refitting firms together is to be maintained as office
record. Due care needs to be taken while finalizing the list of eligible ship refitting yards. It
should strictly be in accordance with the type of refit and class of ship as indicated in the
certificate of registration. In case renewal of registration is in progress, the inclusion/ exclusion
should be in accordance with the procedures in vogue. However, in case a refitting firm
once issued an RFP during currency of its registration, it should not normally be denied an
opportunity to participate, during the bidding process under the pretext of expiry of
registration.
0222. While seeking the CFA approval for floating the RFP document on all eligible refitting
firms, the approval of CFA is to be concurrently obtained for the following:-
(a) Constitution of the Tender Opening Committee (TOC)
(b) Constitution of the Cost Estimation Committee (CEC)
21
0223. The TOC, constituted by the CFA, is to ensure that the tenders are opened as per
the date and time indicated in the RFP. The refitting firms’ representatives, those are present,
are to be permitted to witness the opening of technical bids. Attendance sheet for the
participating representatives of the refitting firms is to be maintained for record.
0224. The mandate of the TOC is restricted to opening of technical bids and not the
commercial bids at this stage. The commercial bids (in separate envelopes) of all the
participating refitting firms are to be together placed inside a larger envelope and sealed in
the presence of the refitting firms’ representatives. All members of the TOC are to sign on
each page of the technical bids and submit a duly signed minutes of meeting.
0225. The TEC is to subsequently undertake an evaluation of the technical bids and
submit a report. The preparation of the TEC report is to be guided by the sample copy of
TEC report placed at Appendix G. The TEC is not authorised to discuss commercial aspects
of the case. However, the TEC should prepare a compliance statement in respect of
commercial terms and conditions, such as bid security, warranty, etc. included in the technical
bids, as per RFP. While the IFA need not participate in the TEC, the CFA may, if considered
necessary evolve a system of associating the IFA or his representative in examination of
the TEC report in regard to compliance with the commercial terms and conditions before
opening the commercial bids.
0227. On completion of the TEC evaluation, approval of the CFA for the TEC report is to
be sought. Concurrently, the approval of the CFA is also to be obtained for opening of
commercial bids by the TOC at a specified date and time with IFA concurrence where
required as per delegation of financial powers.
0228. The CEC should be formed with invariably a representative of the IFA as member,
soon after preparation of the TEC report. The refit cost estimated by the CEC is also known
as the benchmark cost or the Professional Officers’ Valuation (POV), and is based on the
actual refit work package. All members of the CEC are to sign and the same is to be
handed over to the authorised officer, as nominated by the CFA. The cost estimation by
the CEC is to be undertaken three working days prior to opening of commercial bids.
0229. Correct estimation of rates/cost is vital for establishing the reasonability of the offers
received from the refitting firms. It is, therefore, important that the rates/cost are worked
out in a realistic, objective and professional manner on the basis of prevailing market rates,
last purchase price, economic indices for raw material/labour, other inputs cost and
assessment based on intrinsic value, etc.
Commercial Bids
0230. On approval of the TEC report, the TOC is to open the commercial bids as per the
office order in presence of authorised representatives of all refitting firms who have qualified
in the Technical Evaluation and are present at the specified date and time. Such technically
qualified refitting firms are to be intimated about the venue, time and date of opening of
commercial bids. An attendance sheet is to be filled by the representatives of the refitting
firms attending the commercial bid opening. These representatives should be in possession
of an authorisation letter, if they are not the proprietor. On opening of the commercial bids,
only the cost quoted by the refitting firms in the commercial bid format, may be announced
by the TOC. Commercial bids of technically disqualified refitting firms are not to be opened
and the same are to be returned by registered post or handed over to the authorized
representatives of the refitting firm against a duly signed receipt.
0231. The TOC is to prepare a Comparative Statement of Tenders (CST). The CST is to
be prepared with due care showing each element of cost (Contract Price, taxes, levies,
23
etc.) separately against each tender. The CST should be prepared soon after opening of
commercial bids and is to be vetted by the IFA to ensure its correctness.
0232. The CNC may be headed by an officer one rank below that of the CFA. Apart from
the Chairman, other members of the CNC may be nominated as per DPM.
0233. The CNC should determine L1 and make unambiguous and specific
recommendations. Detailed record of discussions regarding compliance with the RFP
conditions, price and contract clauses held during the CNC should be placed on record in
form of minutes of the meeting. All members of the CNC should sign the minutes. Prior
intimation is to be sent to the L1 refitting firm to depute its authorised representative in
case negotiations are to be undertaken and adequate notice/time is to be provided for this
purpose.
0235. The basic objective of the CNC is to establish reasonableness of price paid by the
Government. This is a complex task and many factors need to be considered. Factors like
the last purchase price, movement of price indices, the market intelligence regarding cost
of the item or similar items, material composition, cost analysis of raw materials, technological
complexities involved, maintenance requirements, requirement of spares, warranty, etc.
need to be considered while examining price reasonableness.
0236. The CNC minutes with specific recommendations along with the following are to be
put up for approval of the CFA, through IFA where required, as per delegation of financial
powers:-
(a) Draft Sanction Letter
(b) Draft Refit Contract
Refit Contract
0237. The Refit Contract duly vetted by IFA is to be signed only after approval by the CFA.
However, signing of the Refit Contract is to be preceded by submission of item wise quote
by the refitting firm. The refitting firm is to indicate the cost against each defect list serial as
mentioned in the refit work package and splitting up of defect list serials for the purpose of
24
item wise quote is not permitted. All pages of the itemwise quote are to be signed by the
refitting firm and submitted to the concerned RHQ for scrutiny and acceptance. Each page
of the itemwise quotes for Part C and D cases is to be further signed/stamped by the
concerned RHQ and forwarded to CGHQ. The itemwise quote will thereafter form part of
the draft Refit Contract and the same is to be put up along with draft sanction letter for
approval of the CFA, with IFA concurrence.
0238. The Refit Contract is to be prepared in accordance with the SCOC which formed
part of the RFP. It must be ensured that the Contract is as per the approved terms and
conditions and the rates are correctly shown as finally negotiated and accepted by the
CFA. Copies of the Contract should be forwarded to all concerned, including the IFA, the
audit authority and the paying authority, and their acknowledgement obtained. During signing
of the Contract, the representative of the refitting firm must be in possession of an
authorisation letter.
0239. The Refit Contract is to be signed at least 30 days before scheduled commencement
of any type of refit. On signing of the Contract, all stakeholders are to be immediately
intimated to enable the conduct of pre refit preparation and activities. In case it is considered
essential to amend any part of the Contract before commencement or during the progress
of refit, then a corrigendum is to be issued with the approval of CFA.
0240. The process of contracting is very sensitive in nature. The Rules and Regulations
must be strictly adhered to. In case of any extra ordinary situation, the case should be
referred to the CFA/CGHQ.

CHAPTER – 3
REFIT MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
0301. The procedure for administrative and operational control of ships during refit outside
their base ports, within or outside their respective regions, would be as follows:-
(a) With the issue of Change of Operational Authority (CHOP) signal, all operational
and administrative matters are to be referred to the new Operational Control Authority
(OCA), keeping the parent administrative authority as information addressee.
(b) During the period of refit, all administrative/ technical functions are to be
exercised by the administrative authority under whose jurisdiction the ship is
undergoing refit.
(c) Re-appropriation of budget for refit for the specific audit/paying authority is to
be taken up with CGHQ through the administrative authority under whose jurisdiction
the ship is being refitted.
(d) All matters pertaining to a particular unit required to be raised by the parent
administrative authority are to be routed through the new administrative authority,
under whose jurisdiction the ship is being refitted. The issue of directives/ instructions
directly by the parent DHQ or RHQ is to be avoided.
0302. The concerned RHQ, under whose jurisdiction the ship is being refitted, would be
overall responsible for the smooth conduct of refit, without time or cost overrun and
adherence to the requisite standards of quality. The Coast Guard Refit and Production
Team (CGRPT) would be responsible for the day to day overseeing and monitoring of the
ship’s refit keeping the time and cost limits in view. The Coast Guard Refit and Production
Superintendent (CGRPS), as the head of CGRPT, would be the Contract Operating Authority
(COA) for execution of the Refit Contract. The CGRPS will function under the administrative
control of RHQ and will be directly responsible to the Regional Commander for refits of all
ships, boats and craft.
0303. At locations where there is no CGRPT or Coast Guard Overseeing Team (CGOT),
the CGRPS or the Officer in Charge, CGOT in the immediate vicinity may be nominated to
undertake the functions of COA and the overseeing of refit. In exceptional circumstances,
the concerned RHQ or DHQ may directly undertake these functions, with the approval of
CGHQ.
26
0304. The CGRPS would act as the overseeing authority and COA, and carry out the
following professional and financial control functions:-
(a) Ensure preparation of the program of repairs, manufacture, sub contracts,
tests, trials and inspection by the refitting firms, as required, to achieve economical,
timely and satisfactory execution of the Refit Contract.
(b) Ensure that the work of repairs and routine maintenance is in accordance with
the approved drawings, relevant class specifications, technical publications, etc.
and are carried out in accordance with desired workmanship standards and
standard practices. Ensure required quality control in accordance with the Refit
Contract.
(c) Provide guidance to the refitting firms/firms where specialized or user knowledge
is required or where specifications, drawings, scope of work, etc. is not precise/not
available.
(d) Monitor actual progress of the refitting firm/OEM/PAC firm/sub-contractor works
and render progress reports to RHQ and the CGHQ, as applicable.
(e) Check the adequacy of safety precautions taken by the refitting firm and its
sub-contractors for the ship and equipment and the adequacy of the security
measures in respect of classified material and information. Bring to the notice of
the refitting firm immediately as and when any lapses are observed regarding
adequacy of precautions w.r.t. safety and security.
(f) Maintain a close watch on the refitting firm’s arrangements for safety,
preservation, protection, cleanliness and maintenance of the ship under refit, as
well as machinery and equipment installed or awaiting installation. Bring the
deficiencies to the notice of the refitting firm, keeping RHQ informed.
(g) Ensure that habitability and safety conditions for in living personnel on board
ships under refit are of acceptable standards and all yard facilities are being provided
in accordance with the Refit Contract and scope of work.
(h) Maintain close liaison with the refitting firm/OEMs/PAC firms/sub- contractors/
classification society regarding planning, programming and execution of work,
modifications, inspections, test and trials, etc.
(j) Maintain close liaison with other units/organizations involved with specific
activity for timely inspections, tests and trials.
(k) Keep the Ship’s Staff fully informed on all matters and arrange their attendance
at meetings, trials, etc. as required.
27
(l) Carry out inspection, test and trials in accordance with relevant specifications,
drawings, technical documents and advise the refitting firm well in time for necessary
corrective action, if any. Co-ordinate acceptance trials for pre-refit and post refit
sea trials and advise the refitting firm to make necessary arrangements as per
requirements.
(m) Liaise for timely supply of stores/material from ICG sources for timely and
satisfactory completion of related works.
(n) Ensure timely positioning of spares/stores under yard liability and timely off
loading of jobs to sub-contractors by the refitting firm.
(p) Undertake final scrutiny and verification of all bills forwarded by the refitting
firm and making necessary deductions as per penalties and liquidated damages
specified in the Refit Contract.
(q) Maintain list of Guarantee Defects and ensure speedy rectification by the refitting
firm/firms, post refit completion.
REFIT MONITORING
Refit Meetings
0305. A pre refit meeting or defect list conference is to be held before commencement of
refit and preferably after completion of the pre refit sea trials. The meeting is to be attended
by CGRPS and his staff, the Commanding Officer and departmental heads/chiefs from the
Ship and key representatives of the refitting firm as well as leading subcontractors and
OEM/PAC firms. At this forum, major scope of work is discussed and refit milestones,
cardinal dates, scheduling of subcontracting work, provisioning of yard facilities, etc. are to
be decided upon.
0307. A pre refit completion meeting is to be held three weeks before the Dockyard
Completion Date (DCD) or refit completion date in case of a MR and two weeks before in
case of a NR/SR. All stakeholders are required to be present for the meeting held primarily
to assess the balance work with respect to DCD and reassess the time frame for completion
of work. Defect list serials which are likely to remain outstanding on completion of the refit,
would need to be identified and an action plan finalized for their early liquidation.
0308. In addition to the above, the CGRPS may convene refit progress review meetings
during visit of representatives from RHQ or CGHQ and on any other occasion as deemed
necessary. Except for the weekly meetings, the CGRPS would call for agenda points from
the ship and the refitting firm well in advance for all progress review meetings.
Refit Sitrep
0309. The following refit sitreps are to be forwarded by various ICG formations:-
(a) Weekly sitrep is to be forwarded by the Ship and addressed to the CGRPS
with information to concerned authorities. A format for the same is placed at
Appendix J.
(b) Fortnightly sitrep is to be prepared and released by CGRPS by fax/ electronic
mail to the refitting firm, Ship, RHQ and CGHQ. A format for the same is placed at
Appendix K.
0310. The concerned DHQ (in case RHQ is not the direct administrative authority) and
the parent administrative authority ( in case of refits conducted outside the base port) are
to be kept as information addressee in all refit sitreps mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
Refit Milestones
0312. The docking and undocking of a ship are also important evolutions or milestones
which give a fair indication of the refit progress. The CGRPS is to issue dock and undock
signals as and when these milestones are achieved. Formats, for the dock and undock
signals are placed at Appendix N and Appendix AA respectively.
29
0313. In order to assure the quality of repair and exercise effective control, the work
executed by the refitting firm is to be in accordance with ICG inspection schedule as
applicable and may consist of a preliminary, stage and final inspection. The repair work will
be undertaken as per specified standards and quality norms. Ensuring and maintaining
quality will be the responsibility of the refitting firm. The refitting firm shall submit a Quality
Assurance Plan (QAP), as applicable to the scope of work, for approval of the CGRPS.
The approved QAP will form the basis of inspection and acceptance of work executed by
the refitting firm.
0314. A Bar chart for the refit is to be submitted by the refitting firm to CGRPS within two
weeks of signing the Refit Contract and the same is to be finalized/ approved during the pre
refit meeting. A copy of this chart is also to be forwarded to the concerned RHQ. The refit
progress is to be monitored throughout the duration of refit in accordance with the chart.
0315. The refitting firm may subcontract any part of scope of work in accordance with the
terms of the Refit Contract. However, no deviations are to be made for jobs to be undertaken
by the OEM/PAC firms as specified in the Refit Contract, even in cases where in-house
expertise is available with the refitting firm. The refitting firm is to be entirely responsible for
the quality standards and timely completion of the subcontracted work. The refitting firm is
to draw a suitable QAP with the subcontractor and submit the same to the CGRPS. The
supervision of work undertaken by the subcontractor would be the responsibility of the
refitting firm, although the CGRPT/Ship’s Staff will also be associated at important stages
of repair and inspection. The refitting firm is not permitted to seek any extension on refit
completion date citing delay on the part of subcontractors or rework arising out of the
subcontracted work. The list of subcontractors (other than OEM/PAC firms specified in the
Refit Contract) are to be submitted by the refitting firm within 15 days of signing the Refit
Contract. The CGRPS is to scrutinize the list and approve/finalise the same during the pre
refit meeting.
0316. In case of defect list serials offloaded by the refitting firm, the CGRPS is not to
undertake direct price negotiations with the subcontractors. However, a representative of
the CGRPS may be present during price negotiations between the refitting firm and its
subcontractors for AWRF jobs only. All technical evaluations between the refitting firm and
its subcontractors are to be necessarily attended by representatives of the CGRPS and the
Ship. The liability of spares/material supply is to be clearly brought out during such
discussions.
30
0317. The ship’s underwater hull cleaning and painting shall be undertaken as indicated
in the refit work package, under supervision of the paint manufacturer. Ship’s underwater
hull is to be cleaned immediately after dry docking and ultrasonic gauging/ robotic hull scan
undertaken as per the scope of work. During underwater hull painting, the representative
of paint manufacturer is to be associated for necessary underwater hull preparation
and painting, and thereafter, withstand guarantee for paints for a period as per policy in
vogue.
0318. The Class Surveyor is to be associated with survey of hull, condition of strengthening
members to the extent feasible, all steel renewal, main machinery viz. main engines, gear
boxes, shafting, propellers as well as underwater appendages and openings.
0319. The refitting firm is invariably required to hand over all data related to work (such as
‘as fitted drawing’, record of hull survey, renewal of hull plate, clearances, alignment, testing
and tuning, weight changes, grouping of shock mounts, etc.) to the ship.
0320. A very close check should be maintained on the quality of work and meeting the
cardinal dates as scheduled since the Refit Contract contains liquidated damages and
special penalties to be levied on the refitting firm for delayed delivery and non compliance
to terms and conditions of the Refit Contract. All ICG formations associated with the refit
are to in turn ensure that all reasonable assistance is provided to the refitting firm. The
CGRPT and the ship staff are to facilitate the timely and quality execution of the refit.
0321. All recommendations of the Class Surveyors are to be implemented in totality. Any
deviation to implementation of such recommendations is to have the approval of RHQ/
CGHQ, as required.
0323. In respect of newly designed machinery, equipment and systems installed either
fresh or as replacement for an existing unit, all trials will be witnessed by CGRPS or his
representatives and the Ship’s Staff. This procedure will also remain valid for all ship’s
machinery, equipment and systems which are removed and brought back on board after
overhaul/ repairs.
0324. The CGRPS along with the Ship’s Staff is responsible for timely completion of refit.
However, in exceptional circumstances, beyond the control of CGRPS, extension on refit
duration may be sought after undertaking a thorough analysis. A detailed case of refit
31
extension with adequate justification is to be forwarded by the CGRPS to RHQ for taking
up the case with the appropriate CFA for approval.
0325. The refitting firm is required to commence jobs on all equipment/machinery preferably
within one month of start of a refit. The cases, which cannot be commenced within this
time frame due to legitimate technical reasons, are to be compiled by the refitting firm and
deliberated in a meeting amongst all stake holders. The list of such defects needs to be
forwarded to AA/CGHQ on completion of one month. In addition, all jobs required to be
subcontracted, need to be offloaded within initial one-fourth of the refit duration.
0326. The refit of a ship will be planned and controlled with reference to various guidelines
laid down in the Refit Contract, the milestones decided jointly at the defect list conference
and the Bar Chart submitted by the refitting firm before commencement of the refit.
0327. The Ship’s Staff is to work in close collaboration with the CGRPT and the refitting
firm so that areas requiring attention are brought to the notice of the concerned sections
without any delay. The Ship is also required to maintain constant liaison with the Store
Depot for ensuring timely positioning of the spares.
0328. Deletions of defect list serials from the approved refit work package is generally not
permitted. However, in unavoidable circumstances, the proposals for such deletions may
be forwarded with justification to the CFA for approval, well before the DCD.
0329. Work Done Certificate (WDC) must be carefully scrutinized and only the
Commanding Officer (CO) and Executive Officer (XO)/Engineer Officer/ Electrical Officer/
Technical Officer (EO/LO/TO) should be authorized to sign the certificate. WDCs are to be
signed immediately after acceptance or completion of successful trials, progressively for
all defect list serials. All WDCs are to be mandatorily signed before the Ship departs from
the refitting firm’s premises. Contentious issues regarding signing of WDCs and handing
over of any pending Certified Receipt Vouchers (CRVs) are to be decided in a pre REFCOMP
conference to be chaired by COA/CSO (Tech), as applicable.
Safety Plan
0330. In accordance with terms of the Refit Contract, the security and safety of men and
material within the refitting firm’s premises, is the responsibility of the refitting firm. The
ultimate responsibility for safety and security of the Ship as a whole would however continue
to rest with the Commanding Officer. The CGRPS is to keep a close watch on all
arrangements towards the safety and security and bring all shortcomings to the notice of
the concerned personnel.
32
0331. In view of the nature and peculiarities of refit, the Ship is highly susceptible and
prone to risks of accidents, fire and flooding. The Ship’s Staff is to remain alert at all times
and ensure all checks and precautions before, during and after completion of work on a
daily basis. Any corrective action beyond the control of the Ship is to be brought to the
notice of the refitting firm and CGRPS immediately. Various safety guidelines related to
hot work, underwater valves and openings, precautions in dry dock, etc. are to be followed
meticulously.
0332. The CGRPS is to ensure the integrity of the underwater hull and the completion of
all underwater work/routines before clearing the Ship for undocking. Steel renewal in
underwater areas and ship side upto weather deck is to be undertaken in dry dock only.
Exceptions, if any, are to be projected to RHQ for approval, prior undocking.
0333. In addition to the fire fighting appliances held on board, the CGRPS is to ensure
adequate provisioning of such appliances by the refitting firm as well as availability of
sufficient firemain pressure at all times in accordance with the terms of the Refit Contract.
In addition, adequate bilge pumping out and de-flooding arrangements are to be held standby
for all emergencies.
0334. Stoppage of refit work by the CGRPS or Ship’s Staff is generally not permitted.
However, the Commanding Officer/OOD may consider stoppage of work, if it is felt that the
safety or security of the Ship is being compromised. In such cases, the stoppage of work
should be immediately communicated to the CGRPS. The CGRPS may intervene and
resolve the issue locally. In case the issue remains unresolved, the CGRPS is to refer the
matter to RHQ for further necessary action.
0335. The provision for storage space and accommodation for the Ship’s crew, as and
when the Ship becomes uninhabitable, is included in the Refit Contract. The CGRPS would
need to certify the commencement and termination of the period when the Ship is not
habitable, in consultation with the Commanding Officer of the Ship. Additional care towards
safety and security of the Ship is to be taken during this period by all concerned, particularly
during off working hours.
0336. In case of any deviations from standard procedures towards safety and security,
including cleanliness and hygiene standards on board and in surrounding areas, the matter
may be reported immediately by the CGRPS to the highest level in the refitting firm, under
intimation to RHQ.
33
REPORTS
Docking and Survey Report
0337. The docking and survey report should reflect all the desired data for next docking,
i.e. correct records of various clearances taken, hull and paint condition on docking of the
Ship, steel renewed and UTG/Robotic Scan readings. It is necessary to record all data
obtained during the docking period and formulate these in the docking report at appropriate
place/ column. Each column of Docking Form (IN-379) once completed, should leave no
scope for deficient information. As sufficient space may not be available in the form to
render certain detailed information, supplementary annexure duly signed by the
representative of the refitting firm, overseeing authority and the Ship’s Staff should be
forwarded along with the docking report. The Commanding Officer of the Ship is responsible
for preparation and submission of the docking report with assistance from the overseeing
authority and the refitting firm.
0338. Rudder bush, stern tube, ‘A’ bracket, shaft bracket, stabilizer clearances, etc. are
to be entered, as applicable, in the appropriate column. These data are also to be forwarded
in the form of sketches, indicating the date of recording, representatives attended, specific
observations by overseeing authority, etc.
0339. Report of UTG/Robotic Scan both in tabular and sketch format is to be rendered
with adequate quality of presentation and accuracy of information. The report should contain
signatures of authorized representatives of the Ship, refitting firm and CGRPT, and dates
of survey, personnel witnessing survey, etc.
0340. Report of anchor/ chain cable/ accessories survey along with test report from the
refitting firm is to be included.
0341. Record of steel renewal in tabular (with weight breakdown) and sketch format on
shell expansion and deck plan drawings is to be prepared. This report will have the specific
comments of the overseeing authority regarding following aspects:-
(a) Temporary repairs undertaken (e.g. incorporation of doublers in underwater
hull plating, etc.)
(b) Underwater plating which are likely to become critical, i.e. thickness reduction
measured already between15% to 20%.
0342. All sacrificial anodes with type, number, size/ weight and location must be indicated
reported in the docking report when renewed.
34
0343. Underwater hull preparation and painting are to be correctly recorded. Paint details
like manufacturer, quantity, batch number and expiry date shall be correctly recorded against
column XVI, XVII and XVIII of the docking report. Underwater painting is to be carried out
under the supervision of the paint manufacturer or supplier and an inspection report rendered
by him is to form part of the report.
0345. Record of load testing of all lifting appliances is to be included in the report.
0346. Any other major work carried out shall be reported against Column XIX of the
docking report on a separate sheet as enclosure.
0347. Details of underwater/ overboard valves repaired during docking are to be recorded.
0348. Specific recommendations for future action are to be included against Column XIX
of the docking report, as a separate enclosure.
Refit Report
0349. The Refit Report essentially consists of a prescribed proforma in five parts. A copy
of the prescribed proforma is placed at Appendix AB. Part ‘A’ of the Refit Report consists
of specific data pertaining to the refit along with various enclosures to be prepared and
submitted by the Ship. Part ‘B’ of the Refit Report contains data pertaining to commercial
aspects of the refit as well as the overall appreciation of the overseeing authority. Part
‘C’,‘D’ and ‘E’ are limited to comments/remarks of the concerned RHQ (in whose jurisdiction
the refit was undertaken),respective CGC and CGHQ respectively. Three copies of the
Refit Report are to be submitted by the Ship to CGRPS within 04 weeks of refit completion
for onward dispatch to RHQ,CGC and CGHQ. On completion of scrutiny and endorsement
of CGHQ remarks, the Refit Report is to be returned to RHQ through CGC for distribution
and retention at the CGRPT, ICGSMA and the Ship.
0350. The following documents prepared by the Ship are to form enclosures to the
Refit Report:-
(a) Separate list of spares for Machinery/equipment procured through refitting
firm against NAC/NSB and issued through CG Store Depots.
(b) List of paints with quantities consumed during refit including source of
supply.
35
(c) Details of major repairs and maintenance routines undertaken on main and
auxiliary machinery, equipment and systems.

CHAPTER - 4
CONDUCT OF REFIT
INTRODUCTION
0402. The conduct of a refit involves attention to issues which are generic as well as
specific to a project. Despite the laid down process and procedure, the execution of a refit
is a dynamic process which needs hands on approach as the variables and constraints are
innumerable and inconsistent. In addition, refit activities encompass control, coordination,
estimation, information, anaylsis and execution of several multi centric activities towards
the overall refit objective. Apart from the need to maintain the requisite quality standards
and the time line for various activities, the safety and security of the ship and personnel
would also need to be a prime consideration requiring a coordinated effort from all
stakeholders.
PROGRESS OF REFIT
Pre Refit Activities
0403. Pre refit sea trials are mandatory for all types of refit and all class of ships. Pre refit
trials are to be programmed to enable better appreciation of the hull condition and machinery
performance of ships due to commence a scheduled refit. These trials are generally attended
by representatives of the Administrative Authority, the CGRPT and the refitting firm, apart
from representatives of the key subcontractors and OEM/PAC firms. The trials are to include
detailed performance checks of hull/engineering/electrical equipment and systems as
indicated below and as applicable to the ship being refitted.
(e) All pumps and compressors - general purpose as well as those associated
with the main machinery.
(k) Flooding and spraying systems, including remote control arrangements, where
applicable
(n) All instrumentation including repeaters, safety alarms, cut outs and indicators
associated with the above machines and systems
0405. Docking and undocking of ships are important evolutions which have to be
undertaken with utmost care and accuracy to avoid possible damages to the ship. Instances
of incorrect setting of dock blocks or underwater holes/ cracks being detected immediately
on undocking, result in time and cost overruns. The following instructions/ check off list to
38
be undertaken during docking and undocking are to be followed meticulously and any
deviations from these procedures may be undertaken only under unavoidable circumstances
and on approval of the RHQ:-
(a) Prior Docking.
(c) On docking
Sl. Event Action by
(i) Earth the ship immediately on docking Ship’s Staff
(ii) Issue “DOCK” signal to as per CGRPS
Appendix N
(iii) On clearing the dock carry out visual Ship’s Staff / CGRPS
inspection of underwater hull and
appendages. CGRPS to report status by
signal to COMCG with copy to Ship and
CGHQ
(iv) Ensure underwater hull is cleaned by the CGRPS
refitting firm and underwater hull made
ready for survey soon after docking
(v) Ensure adequate fire-fighting Ship’s Staff/CGRPS to
arrangements are available in operational assist in availing
state, throughout the docking period. necessary yard
Continuous availability of shore fire main assistance
and availability of sufficient operational
portable fire extinguishers must be
ensured.
(vi) Ensure no hot work takes place without Ship’s Staff
making area ‘Safe for Hot Work’. ‘Safe for
Hot Work’ certificates are to be signed by
ship’s DC and Fire Fighting Officer and
40
0406. In case of slipping/ unslipping, the cradle is to be visually inspected by the overseeing
authority. It is to be ensured that the cradle is in good condition and there are no sharp
edges on the cradle which can damage the ship’s hull during slipping/unslipping operations.
Wherever possible, soft oakum padding covered with canvas is to be provided on shape
blocks.
0407. The change in scope of work during refit of a ship is typically dependent inter alia
on factors such as age of ship, condition of on board machinery/ equipment, condition of
hull, role and exploitation pattern, duration between formulation of work package and actual
execution of work, etc. The necessity for repairs/ renewals/replacements other than those
presently included in the Scope of Work may arise during the inspection/survey/repair
43
which will be termed as change in scope of work /AWRF. AWRFs essentially consist of
growth of work during the actual progress of refit and additional defects observed on
disassembly of machinery, equipment and systems.
0408. Defects which could have been projected in the main or supplementary defect lists
and maintenance routines are not to form part of AWRFs. All defects in the AWRFs are to
be serially numbered in continuation of the serial numbers mentioned in the supplementary
defect list. The jobs which are not operational in nature and which do not affect the safety
or habitability of the ship are not to be included in the AWRF. During the hull plate renewal,
if any major machinery is required to be removed or lifted along with accessories, the same
is to be projected in AWRF, if not covered in any other defect list serial. The Format for
raising additional work is placed at Annexure III to Appendix H.
0409. The number of AWRFs permitted for projection and their periodicity is to be finalised
by the CGRPS in consultation with the refitting firm and the Ship. However, projection of
AWRFs under all circumstances is to be seized 10 days prior to the scheduled DCD.
0410. The AWRFs should not include complete renewal of Commercial Off The Shelf
(COTS) Items/equipment or costly items. In case the cost of repairs on the COTS equipment
is high or uneconomical, the renewal of such equipment is to be undertaken after receipt of
Non Availability Certificate (NAC) and under the subhead of NA spares. The AWRFs should
also not include fabrication of furniture, boxes for spares, tools, etc.; soft furnishing, viz
renewal of cushions, curtains, carpets, etc; and renewal/repairs of office equipment, crockery
and cutlery.
0411. Additional financial sanction upto a certain percentage of Contract Price is catered
for AWRFs in the Refit Contract. Payment in all such cases will be made at actuals subject
to the ceiling stipulated. Costing towards growth of work would be worked out on pro rata
basis quoted by the refitting firm. However, price negotiations are to be carried out with the
refitting firm only in cases where pro rata rates are not available. The participation by the
IFA would be as per financial regulations in vogue. A representative of the subcontractor or
the OEM/PAC firm can be co-opted during this CNC with a view to ascertain the
reasonableness of refitting firm’s quote. Approval for undertaking AWRF jobs upto the
sanctioned cost will be accorded by COA, keeping RHQ informed. .
Spares Management
0412. A list of critical spares of either high value or having a long lead time for positioning
along with BER certificate of equipment required to be replaced should be submitted by the
Ship during the RFIC. Procurement of such spares which are not available at the Store
44
Depot may be initiated at various ICG formations as per delegated financial powers, well in
advance. It is to be endeavoured by all concerned that all known requirements are met
well in time so as to avoid cost over runs against the limited government sanction for
procurement of spares through the refitting firm. All procurement is to be undertaken against
NAC and would be restricted to established requirements only.
0413. Defect list serials bearing staff remarks “Survey & Demand” are not part of the refit
work package. Ships are to demand and position such requirements prior commencement
of refit as the same are not to be procured from the refit account.
0414. The anticipatory requirement of spares is not to be met through the store depots.
During the progress of refits, all available spares are to be issued by the store depots only
against e-demands accompanied with covering letter and reference of yard indents vetted
by the CGRPS. However, the yard indents will not be necessary for jobs outside the refit
work package.
0415. Prior commencement of refit, spares/stores issued by the store depots are to be
restricted to the following:-
(a) Spares specially procured for a particular ship and earmarked at the depot for
undertaking maintenance routines or defect rectification.
(b) Established and known requirement of spares commensurate with the refit
work package may be issued by the store depots on approval of RHQ.
0416. The sequential procedure for procurement of non available spares through the
refitting firm would be as follows:-
(a) On opening up of a particular machinery or equipment, a joint inspection is to
be carried out by the Ship, the refitting firm, CGRPT and the OEM/PAC firm or
subcontractor, as applicable.
(b) The spares required for liquidation of the associated job or defect list serial are
to be jointly established.
(c) The refitting firm is to submit an indent for the required spares within two
working days and the same is to be vetted by CGRPS within the next two working
days.
(d) The ship is to forward e-demands along with a covering letter to the mother
depot for machinery spares and to the local store depot for balance stores/spares,
within two working days from date of vetting of yard indents. The documents may
be delivered by hand, fax or speed post. The scanned documents e-mailed through
45
the ship’s official e-mail ID will also be accepted by the depots for processing.
(e) The yard indents are not to be forwarded to the store depots. However, the
ship in its forwarding letter is required to certify the following:-
(i) The demands have been prepared based on the refit indents vetted by
CGRPS vide _________dated __________.
(ii) All unused items demanded for the ship’s refit will be surveyed in
serviceable condition within 30 days of completion of refit.
(iii) The survey formalities of permanent items will be completed within two
months of completion of refit.
(f) The depots are required to process the refit demands within three working
days and forward the NACs to the ship either by fax or e-mail, to enable initiation of
procurement action. The ink-signed NACs are to be forwarded by the depots by
post/by hand of ship’s representative.
(g) The CGRPS is to initiate procurement action by inviting quotes from the refitting
firm. The quotes when received are to be scrutinized based on available details
such as in-house data, LPP, etc.
(h) A CNC may be conducted with PAC/L1 firm under chairmanship of CGRPS
and members from CGRPT/IFA/local ICG unit as per availability. The participation
by the IFA or his representatives for price negotiations would be as per financial
regulations in vogue.
(j) The CGRPS is to authorize the refitting firm to place purchase order. The
receipt of ink signed NAC is not mandatory at this stage and purchase order can be
placed against NAC received by the ship through fax/e-mail.
(k) Packing and forwarding charges, yard handling charges and taxes and duties
as applicable, are to be allowed to the refitting firm.
(l) Certified Receipt Voucher (CRV)/Inspection Note are to be issued by the Ship
on delivery/receipt of the spares on board.
(m) Duly scrutinsed bills with CRV/Inspection Note, invoice and ink signed NAC
are to be processed by CGRPS/RHQ as specified in the Contract.
0418. All spares received by the ship, specifically for the refit, are to be stocked separately
and not merged with onboard spares. On completion of the refit, all unused spares, whether
received from the Depot or the refitting firm, are to be surveyed to the depot in serviceable
condition. Confirmation regarding survey of all unused spares is to be also included in the
Refit Report. It would however need to be strictly ensured that repairable spares/stores are
never surveyed, whether the ship is in its operational or refit cycle. Such items would need
to be repaired in the first instance before merging into the Depot’s inventory.
Commercial Functions
0420. All stage bills are to be vetted by the CGRPS. Bills are to be scrutinized properly to
avoid any lapse during the payment. A certificate is to be rendered by the CGRPS for
completion of each stage/refit completion. All NA spares bills are to be cleared as per the
Refit Contract and the taxes, duties, etc. are to be reconciled with supporting documents.
Necessary duty exemption certificates in respect of NA spares procured by the refitting
firm during the refit of the ship are to be issued as per regulations in vogue. The amount
claimed by the refitting firm against third party invoice on account of NA spares are to be
cleared with all supporting documents. Bills should be closely scrutinized to ensure that
the amounts claimed correspond to the written authorizations issued and that there is no
duplication. COA of the rank of DIG and above is authorized to clear all refit bills for payment
in favour of the refitting firm by respective paying office under intimation to the AA and CFA.
In cases where the COA is of the rank of Commandant and below, the duly certified bills
shall be forwarded to respective AA for payment authorization under intimation to CFA. The
AA shall allocate the budget for the refit to the COA, as per projection/requirement.
0421. If the refit is not completed within the stipulated duration and the reasons for non
completion of the refit on schedule are attributable to the refitting firm, a Liquidated Damage
(LD) is to be levied on the refitting firm. The amount levied is to be as per terms of the Refit
Contract. In addition, LD is to be also levied on delinked and unfinished jobs as mentioned
in the Refit Contract. An illustration for calculation of LD is as follows:-
Case I
CASE II
0422. All refitting firms are to attach a full and final refit bill certificate along with the claim
for penultimate stage payment. No supplementary bill is to be admitted after receipt of this
certificate.
DFPR Jobs
0423. With a view to ensure that a fully operational ship is available post refit, it is imperative
that all the jobs not included in the refit work package but having effect on the Ship’s
operational capability are also undertaken during the conduct of the refit. However, such
jobs would need to be undertaken without hampering the smooth execution of the original
refit work package as well as the overall work quality. The following guidelines would ensure
meeting of such an objective:-
(a) As far as possible, all defects/routines remarked as “undertake under DFPR”
in the refit work package as well as the defects/routines occurring post RFIC are to
be liquidated by the administrative authority or the Ship’s Staff under own DFPR
during the operational cycle, prior to commencement of the refit.
(b) Only such defects/routines which could not be undertaken under DFPR during
operational cycle of the Ship due to reasons like paucity of time or having occurred
very close to the refit commencement and at the same time having effect on Ship’s
operational capability/ habitability/ safety should be considered for undertaking during
refit as additional jobs.
(c) Such additional jobs are to be projected to the CGRPS by the Ship as a single
package preferably within one week of refit commencement. The CGRPS, on
receiving request for additional jobs is to render a feasibility report to RHQ on
49
undertaking these jobs concurrently with the refit jobs indicating details viz. time
required, budgetary quotes, any likely effect on smooth progress of refit due to
restrictions by the refitting firm/Port, hindrance to other major jobs, etc. The CGRPS,
if considered necessary, may also redefine the scope of additional jobs projected
to suit the smooth conduct of both refit as well as additional jobs. CGRPS may
render firm recommendations against each additional job, with likelihood of any
particular job affecting the DCD and hence, whether the jobs may be undertaken
post refit completion.
(d) Based on the recommendations of CGRPS, the RHQ is to accord approval for
those additional jobs which are feasible for undertaking concurrently during the
refit. These approved additional jobs are to be offloaded by the Ship/local
administrative authority/RHQ as per the delegated financial powers. On offloading,
the overseeing of these jobs will be the responsibility of CGRPS concurrently with
the refit jobs. The status of such jobs is to be separately indicated in refit sitreps
received at RHQ. The Ship’s Staff and local administrative authority are to be in
close liaision with CGRPS as well as the firms/local trade for smooth progress of
such jobs as well as for providing required spares from OBS/depot/LP action against
NACs. Timely processing of work done certificates and processing of bills in respect
of additional jobs under DFPR shall be the responsibility of the Ship and the authority
issuing the work order.
Refit Completion
0424. The Harbour Acceptance Trials (HATs) should include all performance trials on
machinery, equipment and systems, except those trials which can be undertaken only at
sea. The CGRPS, in consultation with RHQ, may authorize the Ship to undertake fuelling,
ammunitioning, etc. on successful completion of HATs. The post refit sea trials or Sea
Acceptance Trials (SATs) should invariably precede the REFCOMP signal and the
performance standards of all machinery, equipment and systems are to be compared with
those achieved during the pre refit trials. Defects and shortcomings observed during the
SATs are to be made good before the DCD. All aspects of operational capability, safety and
habitability are to be ensured before the refit completion.
0425. In case the refitting firm is unable to liquidate any of the defect list serials, either
wholly or partially, before the conclusion of the refit, recommendations for delinking such
jobs are to be forwarded for the approval of CFA at least seven days before DCD. The
CGRPS is to prevail upon the refitting yard to complete all outstanding jobs before expiry of
the guarantee period and settlement of the last stage payment. For this purpose, the CGRPS
is to establish the list of outstanding jobs on the day of refit completion, in consultation with
50
the Ship and the refitting firm. The Ship is to forward a fortnightly sitrep of outstanding jobs
to the CGRPS under intimation to the administrative authority. The long outstanding jobs
may be liquidated by the administrative authority or RHQ under the delegated financial
powers, at the Yard’s ‘Risk and Cost’.
0426. Defects arising during the operational period and within the guarantee period
stipulated in the Refit Contract are to be projected by the Ship immediately on occurrence.
Such defects should strictly be related to the scope of work undertaken by the refitting firm
during the refit. All defects are to be serially numbered starting from 01 and all serial numbers
would need to be prefixed with the letter ‘GD’, i.e. GDH 03, GDE 07, GDL 01, etc. All
defects on machinery, equipment, systems, etc. which occur after the stipulated guarantee
period are not a liability of the refitting firm and are not to be treated as refit guarantee
defects. In case of default by the refitting firm beyond the period prescribed in the refit
contract for liquidation of GDs and/or unfinished refit work, the AA in consultation with
COA/ refitting firm shall initiate action for liquidation of the jobs under refitting firm’s ‘Risk
and Cost’, in accordance with the contractual provisions. On completion of guarantee period,
the COA is to deduct appropriate amount towards liquidation of pending guarantee defects
and/or unfinished refit work either against the bank guarantee provided for the guarantee
period or deductions from the refitting firm’s account as applicable or through direct
remittance to Govt treasury.
