Paragraph 11 Issue of certificate by Governor
Subject to subsection (2) of this section, if the Governor is satisfied, on an application for such a certificate as is mentioned in section 10 of this Act in respect of a ship registered in Solomon Islands that there will be in force in respect of the ship, throughout the period for which the certificate is to be issued, a contract of insurance or other security satisfying the requirements of Article VII of the Convention, the Governor shall issue such a certificate to the owner.
If the Governor is of opinion that there is a doubt whether the person providing the insurance or other security will be able to meet his obligations thereunder, or whether the insurance or other security will cover the owner's liability under section 1 of this Act in all circumstances, he may refuse the certificate.
The Governor may make regulations
prescribing the fee to be paid on an application for a certificate to be issued by him under this section; and
providing for the cancellation and delivery up of such a certificate in such circumstances as may be prescribed by the regulations.
If a person required by regulations under subsection (3)(b) of this section to deliver up a certificate fails to do so he shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 400 dollars.
The Governor shall send a copy of any certificate issued by him under this section in respect of a ship registered in Solomon Islands to the Comptroller of Customs and Excise, and the Comptroller shall make the copy available for public inspection.
