Abstract
The Major inspection is a ship inspection which is executed voluntarily for tankers by Major oil companies(hereinafter it is called "Major"). To take the Major's cargo tanker should pass Major inspection. Thus, even though Major inspection is executed voluntarily, it is more important one than any other inspection for ship's crews and owner because it is closely related to the business profit of shipping company. In this study, authors suggested the improving measures after checking the problems concerned with Major inspection through status analysis. For the status analysis, authors carried out a questionary survey and interview with the interested parties, such as tanker crews, persons in charge of shipping company and inspectors, as well as studied the related literature and statistics data.
