During the 2016 policy year, Gard gathered data to make a better cost benefit determination to support the cover for costs of pre-load steel surveys (PLSS). Gard has decided to maintain cover for the costs of pre-load steel surveys with one small change.
Cover will not be available if, from time to time, Gard determines that the quality of the pre-shipped steel and stevedore operations do not justify the PLSS cost. An example where our data shows that quality and stevedore operations do not justify costs is Japan. Thus, no cost cover is the default position for pre-load surveys in Japan, unless otherwise agreed on a case-by-case basis.

钢材装前检验 – Gard协会2017-2018年度规则略有变化
2016保险年度期间，为能做出最佳成本收益决策，Gard协会收集数据，以支持钢材装前检验(PLSS)费用的赔偿。Gard决定保留对钢材装前检验费用的赔付，并在内容上有一处小变化。
在某些情况下，如果协会认为，装货前钢材的质量和装卸作业，不能证明PLSS费用是合理的，协会将不予赔付。协会数据显示在日本有上述情况。因此，在日本产生的装前检验费用，默认不予赔偿，除非另有约定，具体案件具体分析。
