Regulation 11 Issue and endorsement of Safety Management Certificate by another government

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The Secretary of State may request, through a proper officer or otherwise, the government of a country to which SOLAS applies—

(a)

to conduct an audit of the safety management system operated onboard a United Kingdom ship, and

(b)

if satisfied that the requirements of the ISM Code are complied with, to issue to the ship a Safety Management Certificate or authorise such issue or, where appropriate endorse such certificates in accordance with the requirements of SOLAS after intermediate audit. A certificate issued in accordance with such a request shall contain a statement that it has been so issued and shall have the same effect as if it was issued by the Secretary of State.
