This Circular prescribes inland waterway survey.
Article 2. Regulated entities
This Circular applies to organizations and
individuals related to inland waterway survey operation.
Article 3. Definition
In this Circular, terms below are construed as
follows:
1. “width of inland
waterway” is measured at the bottom of the inland waterway based on the
cross section of the inland waterway in question and based on technical level
of current conditions of inland waterways.

Article 4. Classification of inland waterway
survey
1. Regular inland waterway
survey refers to surveys conducted during regular inspection of inland
waterways.
2. Periodic inland waterway
survey refers to survey of inland waterway conducted with a determined
frequency.
3. Irregular inland waterway
survey refers to survey conducted when any irregularity occurs within the
inland waterway or protective corridor of inland waterway that can cause loss
of safety to inland waterway traffic.
Article 5. Range of survey and scale of inland
waterway topographic map
1. Range of inland waterway
survey
a) Regular inland waterway survey shall be
conducted within the waterway (based on the centerline of the waterway) and
shoals mentioned under inland waterway management dossiers;
b) Periodic inland waterway survey shall be
conducted within the width of inland waterway and both sides of inland waterway
protective corridor towards the bank of the river, channel, canal, lagoon,
gulf;
c) Irregular inland waterway survey shall be
conducted in the area where the irregularity occurs within the inland waterway
and protective corridor of inland waterway. In case of any irregularity that
creates new inland waterway, surveying width shall not exceed 3 times the width
of the new waterway and not exceed the bank of the river, channel, canal, lagoon,
gulf. Length of survey shall be the length of the new inland waterway.

a) Scales of topographic map serving the purpose of
inland waterway survey consists of 1:1.000; 1:2.000 and 1:5.000;
b) Topographic map scale of 1:1.000 applies to
irregular inland waterway survey. In case an irregularity creates a new inland
waterway, scale of topographic map depending on surveying width shall comply
with Point c, Point d, and Point dd of this Clause;
c) Topographic map scale of 1:1.000 applies to up
to 50 m of surveying width;
d) Topographic map of 1:2.000 applies to surveying
width that ranges from more than 50 m to 300 m;
dd) Topographic map scale of 1:5.000 applies to
surveying width of more than 300 m.
Article 6. Frequency of periodic inland waterway
survey
1. Frequency of periodic
survey of national inland waterway shall be determined based on:
a) Type of inland waterway serving management
purposes;
b) Role of inland waterway in inland waterway transport;

d) Technical grade of inland waterway.
2. Frequency of periodic
survey of national inland waterway shall be determined by scoring. A scale of
100 scores shall be used for assessment and determined based on criteria under
Appendix attached hereto.
3. Frequency of periodic
survey of national inland waterway includes:
a) A frequency of 1 year per survey for waterways
with a total score of 85 or higher;
b) A frequency of 3 years per survey for waterways
with a total score ranging from 70 to below 85;
c) A frequency of 5 year per survey for waterways
with total score of below 70;
d) A frequency of more than 5 years per survey for
national waterways whose total scores are mentioned under Point a, Point b, or
Point c of this Clause but are situated in lake, lagoon, gulf, channel, canals
with great depth according to decision of Ministry of Transport at request of
Vietnam Inland Waterway Administration.
dd) A frequency of less than 1 year per survey for
waterways, routes of waterway of other countries at estuaries or areas heavily
deposited or eroded. Vietnam Inland Waterway Administration shall rely on the
nature, scale, range, and role of an inland waterway to inland waterway
transport to request Ministry of Transport to decide on survey frequency.
4. In case of provincial
inland waterways, on the basis of criteria under Clause 1 of this Article,
Departments of Transport shall request People‘s Committees of provinces to
