The existing text is replaced by the following:
"(1) An International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate shall be issued for a period specified by the
Administration which shall not exceed five years.
(2) (a) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (1) of this regulation, when the renewal survey is
completed within three months before the expiry date of the existing Certificate, the new Certificate shall
be valid from the date of completion of the renewal survey to a date not exceeding five years from the
date of expiry of the existing Certificate.
(b) When the renewal survey is completed after the expiry date of the existing Certificate, the new
Certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the renewal survey to a date not exceeding
five years from the date of expiry of the existing Certificate.
(c) When the renewal survey is completed more than three months before the expiry date of the existing
Certificate, the new Certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the renewal survey to a
date not exceeding five years from the date of completion of the renewal survey.
(3) If a Certificate is issued for a period of less than five years, the Administration may extend the validity of
the Certificate beyond the expiry date to the maximum period specified in paragraph (1) of this regulation,
provided that the surveys referred to in regulation 4(l)(c) and 4(l)(d) of this Annex applicable when a Certificate is
issued for a period of five years are carried out as appropriate.
(4) If a renewal survey has been completed and a new Certificate cannot be issued or placed on board the
ship before the expiry date of the existing Certificate, the person or organization authorized by the Administration
may endorse the existing Certificate and such a Certificate shall be accepted as valid for a further period which
shall not exceed five months from the expiry date.
(5) If a ship at the time when a Certificate expires is not in a port in which it is to be surveyed, the
Administration may extend the period of validity of the Certificate but this extension shall be granted only for the
purpose of allowing the ship to complete its voyage to the port in which it is to be surveyed, and then only in cases
where it appears proper and reasonable to do so. No Certificate shall be extended for a period longer than three
months, and a ship to which an extension is granted shall not, on its arrival in the port in which it is to be surveyed,
be entitled by virtue of such extension to leave that port without having a new Certificate. When the renewal
survey is completed, the new Certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding five years from the date of expiry of
the existing Certificate before the extension was granted.
(6) A Certificate issued to a ship engaged on short voyages which has not been extended under the foregoing
provisions of this regulation may be extended by the Administration for a period of grace of up to one
month from the date of expiry stated on it. When the renewal survey is completed, the new Certificate shall
be valid to a date not exceeding five years from the date of expiry of the existing Certificate before the
extension was granted.
(7) In special circumstances, as determined by the Administration, a new Certificate need not be dated from
the date of expiry of the existing Certificate as required by paragraph (2)(b), (5) or (6) of this regulation. In these
special circumstances, the new Certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding five years from the date of
completion of the renewal survey.
(8) If an annual or intermediate survey is completed before the period specified in regulation 4 of this Annex,
then:
(a) the anniversary date shown on the Certificate shall be amended by endorsement to a date which shall
not be more than three months later than the date on which the survey was completed;
(b) the subsequent annual or intermediate survey required by regulation 4 of this Annex shall be
completed at the intervals prescribed by that regulation using the new anniversary date;
(c) the expiry date may remain unchanged provided one or more annual or intermediate surveys, as
appropriate, are carried out so that the maximum intervals between the surveys prescribed by
regulation 4 of this Annex are not exceeded.
(9) A Certificate issued under regulation 5 or 6 of this Annex shall cease to be valid in any of the following
cases:
(a) if the relevant surveys are not completed within the periods specified under regulation 4(l) of this
Annex;
(b) if the Certificate is not endorsed in accordance with regulation 4(l)(c) or 4(l)(d) of this Annex.
(c) Upon transfer of the ship to the flag of another State. A new Certificate shall only be issued when the
Government issuing the new Certificate is fully satisfied that the ship is in compliance with the requirements
of regulation 4(4)(a) and 4(4)(b) of this Annex. in the case of a transfer between Parties, if requested within
three months after the transfer has taken place, the Government of the Party whose flag the ship was formerly
entitled to fly shall, as soon as possible, transmit to the Administration copies of the Certificate carried by the
ship before the transfer and, if available, copies of the relevant survey reports." [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
