Haw. Code R. § 19-42-69
A qualified marine surveyor can apply to be placed on the list of approved marine surveyors by writing a letter of application to the department citing the applicant's qualifications including schooling, work experience or other germane background and requesting to be considered by the department as an approved marine surveyor. If approved, the applicant's name will be retained on the list of approved marine surveyors for a period of three years unless removed for other reasons. At the end of this period the applicant must re-apply for a renewal of status. If the application is not approved, the applicant may request reconsideration by providing additional evidence. In cases of dispute, the department's decision will be final.
