# The Merchant Shipping (Survey and Certification) Regulations 1995, Regulation 16: Issue and endorsement of Certificates by another Government


The Secretary of State may request through a proper officer or otherwise the Government of a country to which the 1974 SOLAS Convention applies to survey a United Kingdom ship other than a ro-ro passenger ship and, if satisfied that the requirements of the Convention are complied with, to issue or authorise the issue to the ship the certificates referred to in regulation 10. 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.
