hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authorities’
Recalling the Final Declaration adopted on 2 December 1980 by the Regional European Conference on Maritime Safety which underlined the need to increase maritime safety and the protection of the marine environment and the importance of improving living and working conditions on board ship;
Noting with appreciation the progress achieved in these fields by the International Maritime Organization and the International Labour Organization;
Noting also the contribution of the European Union towards meeting the above mentioned objectives;
Mindful that the principal responsibility for the effective application of standards laid down in international instruments rests upon the authorities of the State whose flag a ship is entitled to fly;
Recognizing nevertheless that effective action by port States is required to prevent the operation of substandard ships;
Recognizing also the need to avoid distorting competition between ports;
Convinced of the necessity, for these purposes, of an improved and harmonized system of port State control and of strengthening co-operation and the exchange of information;
have reached the following understanding:
Section 1 Commitments
1.1 Each Authority will give effect to the provisions of the present Memorandum and the Annexes thereto, which constitute an integral part of the Memorandum.
1.2 Each Authority will maintain an effective system of port State control with a view to ensuring that, without discrimination as to flag, foreign merchant ships calling at a port of its State, or anchored off such a port, comply with the standards laid down in the relevant instruments as defined in section 2. Each Authority may also carry out controls on ships at off-shore installations.
1.3 Each Authority will achieve an annual total of inspections corresponding to 25% of the estimated number of individual foreign merchant ships, hereinafter referred to as ‘ships’, which entered the ports of its State during a recent representative period of 12 months.
1.4 Each Authority will consult, cooperate and exchange information with the other Authorities in order to further the aims of the Memorandum.
Section 2 Relevant instruments
2.1 For the purposes of the Memorandum ‘relevant instruments’ are the following instruments:
.1 the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966 (LOAD LINES 66);
.2 the Protocol of 1988 relating to the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966 (LL PROT 88);
.3 the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS 74);
.4 the Protocol of 1978 relating to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS PROT 78);
.5 the Protocol of 1988 relating to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS PROT 88);
.6 the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78);
.7 the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW 78);
.8 the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREG 72);
.9 the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969 (TONNAGE 69);
.10 the Merchant Shipping (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1976 (ILO Convention No. 147) (ILO 147).
2.2 With respect to ILO 147 each Authority will apply the procedures referred to in section 7 of Annex 1 for the application of ILO publication “Inspection of Labour Conditions on board Ship: Guide-lines for procedure”.
2.3 Each Authority will apply those relevant instruments which are in force and to which its State is a Party. In the case of amendments to a relevant instrument each Authority will apply those amendments which are in force and which its State has accepted. An instrument so amended will then be deemed to be the ‘relevant instrument’ for that Authority.
2.4 In applying a relevant instrument, the Authorities will ensure that no more favourable treatment is given to ships of non-Parties or to ships below convention size. The Authorities will thereby apply the procedures specified in section 3 of Annex 1.
Section 3 Inspection Procedures, Rectification and Detention
3.1 In fulfilling their commitments the Authorities will carry out inspections, which will consist of a visit on board a ship in order to check the certificates and documents as referred to in section 2 of Annex 1. Furthermore the Authorities will satisfy themselves that the crew and the overall condition of the ship, including the engine room and accommodation and including hygienic conditions, meets generally accepted international rules and standards.
In the absence of valid certificates or documents or if there are clear grounds for believing that the condition of a ship or of its equipment, or its crew does not substantially meet the requirements of a relevant instrument, a more detailed inspection will be carried out, as referred to in section 5 of Annex 1, or, as appropriate, an expanded inspection will be carried out as referred to in section 8 of Annex 1. Examples of clear grounds are given in section 4 of Annex 1.
The Authorities will include control on compliance with on board operational requirements in their inspections.
3.2 Nothing in these procedures will be construed as restricting the powers of the Authorities to take measures within its jurisdiction in respect of any matter to which the relevant instruments relate.
3.3 In selecting ships for inspection, the Authorities will give priority to the ships referred to in section 1 of Annex 1.
3.4 The Authorities will seek to avoid inspecting ships which have been inspected by any of the other Authorities within the previous six months, unless they have clear grounds for inspection. The frequency of inspection does not apply to the ships referred to in 3.3 in which case the Authorities will seek satisfaction whenever they will deem this appropriate.
3.5 Inspections will be carried out by properly qualified persons authorized for that purpose by the Authority concerned and acting under its responsibility, having regard in particular to Annex 6.
When the required professional expertise cannot be provided by the Authority, the port State control officer of that Authority may be assisted by any person with the required expertise. Port State control officers and the persons assisting them will have no commercial interest, either in the port of inspection or in the ships inspected, nor will port State control officers be employed by or undertake work on behalf of non-governmental organizations which issue statutory and classification certificates or which carry out the surveys necessary for the issue of those certificates to ships.
Each port State control officer will carry a personal document in the form of an identity card issued by his Authority in accordance with the national legislation, indicating that the port State control officer is authorized to carry out inspections.
3.6.1 Each Authority will endeavour to secure the rectification of all deficiencies detected. On the condition that all possible efforts have been made to rectify all deficiencies, other than those referred to in 3.7.1, the ship may be allowed to proceed to a port where any such deficiencies can be rectified.
3.6.2 In exceptional circumstances where, as a result of the initial control and a more detailed inspection, the overall condition of a ship and its equipment, also taking the crew and its living and working conditions into account, is found to be sub-standard, the Authority may suspend an inspection.
The suspension of the inspection may continue until the responsible parties have taken the steps necessary to ensure that the ship complies with the requirements of the relevant instruments.
Prior to suspending an inspection, the Authority must have recorded detainable deficiencies in the areas set out in 9.3.3 and 9.3.4 of Annex 1, as appropriate.
In cases where the ship is detained and an inspection is suspended, the Authority will as soon as possible notify the responsible parties. The notification will include information about the detention. Furthermore it will state that the inspection is suspended until the Authority has been informed that the ship complies with all relevant requirements.
3.7.1 In the case of deficiencies which are clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment, the Authority will, except as provided in 3.8, ensure that the hazard is removed before the ship is allowed to proceed to sea. For this purpose appropriate action will be taken, which may include detention or a formal prohibition of a ship to continue an operation due to established deficiencies which, individually or together, would render the continued operation hazardous.
3.7.2 In the case of a detention, the Authority will immediately notify the flag State Administration* ) in writing ,which includes the report of inspection specified in Annex 3. Like wise, the recognized organization which has issued the relevant certificates on behalf of the flag State Administration will be notified, where appropriate. The parties above will also be notified in writing of the release of detention.
3.7.3 Where the ground for a detention is the result of accidental damage suffered on the ship’s voyage to a port, no detention order will be issued, provided that:
.1 due account has been given to the requirements contained in Regulation I/11(c) of SOLAS 74 regarding notification to the flag State Administration, the nominated surveyor or the recognized organization responsible for issuing the relevant certificate;
.2 prior to entering a port, the master or shipowner has submitted to the port State control authority details on the circumstances of the accident and the damage suffered and information about the required notification of the flag State Administration;
.3 appropriate remedial action, to the satisfaction of the Authority, is being taken by the ship, and
.4 the Authority has ensured, having been notified of the completion of the remedial action, that deficiencies which were clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment have been rectified.
3.7.4 The following procedure is applicable in the absence of ISM certificates:
.1 Where the inspection reveals that the copy of the Document of Compliance or the Safety Management Certificate issued in accordance with the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (ISM Code) are missing on board a vessel to which the ISM Code is applicable at the date of the inspection, the Authority will ensure that the vessel is detained.
.2 Notwithstanding the absence of the documentation referred to in 3.7.4.1, if the inspection finds no other deficiencies warranting detention the Authority may lift the detention order in order to avoid port congestion. Whenever such a decision is taken, the Authority will immediately inform all other Authorities thereof.
3. The Authorities will take the measures necessary to ensure that all ships authorised to leave a port of their State under the circumstances referred to in 3.7.4.2 will be refused access to any port within the States, the Authorities of which are signatories to the Memorandum, except in the situations referred to in 3.9.3, until the owner or operator of the vessel has demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Authority in whose State detention was ordered, that the ship has valid certificates issued in accordance with the ISM Code.
3.8 Where deficiencies which caused a detention as referred to in 3.7.1 cannot be remedied in the port of inspection, the Authority may allow the ship concerned to proceed to the nearest appropriate repair yard available, as chosen by the master and the Authority, provided that the conditions determined by the competent authority of the flag State and agreed by the Authority are complied with. Such conditions, which may include discharging of cargo and/or temporary repairs, will ensure that the ship can proceed without risk to the safety and health of the passengers or crew, or risk to other ships, or without being an unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment.
In such circumstances the Authority will notify the competent authority of the region State where the next port of call of the ship is situated, the parties mentioned in 3.7.2 and any other authority as appropriate. Notification to Authorities will be made in accordance with Annex 2. The Authority receiving such notification will inform the notifying Authority of action taken.
3.9.1 The Authorities will take measures to ensure that:
.1 ships referred to in 3.7.1 or 3.8 which proceed to sea without complying with the conditions by the Authority in the port of inspection; or
.2 ships referred to in 3.8 which refuse to comply with the applicable requirements of the relevant instruments by not calling into the indicated repair yard;
will be refused access to any port within the States, the Authorities of which are signatories to the Memorandum, until the owner or operator has provided evidence to the satisfaction of the Authority where the ship was found defective, that the ship fully complies with all applicable requirements of the relevant instruments.
3.9.2 In the circumstances referred to in 3.9.1.1, the Authority where the ship was found defective will immediately alert all other Authorities.
In the circumstances referred to in 3.9.1.2, the Authority in whose State the repair yard lies will immediately alert all other Authorities.
Before denying entry, the Authority may request consultations with the flag State Administration of the ship concerned.
3.9.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of 3.9.1, access to a specific port may be permitted by the relevant authority of that port State in the event of force majeure or overriding safety considerations, or to reduce or minimize the risk of pollution or to have deficiencies rectified, provided that adequate measures to the satisfaction of the competent authority of such State have been implemented by the owner, the operator or the master of the ship to ensure safe entry.
3.10 The provisions of 3.7.2 and 3.8 are without prejudice to the requirements of relevant instruments or procedures established by international organizations concerning notification and reporting procedures related to port State control.
3.11 The Authorities will ensure that, on the conclusion of an inspection, the master of the ship is provided with a document, in the form specified in Annex 3, giving the results of the inspection and details of any action taken.
3.12 Should any inspection referred to in 3.1 confirm or reveal deficiencies in relation to the requirements of a relevant instrument warranting the detention of a ship, all costs relating to the inspections in any normal accounting period will be covered by the shipowner or the operator or by his representative in the port State.
All costs relating to inspections carried out by the Authority under the provisions of 3.9.1 will be charged to the owner or the operator of the ship.
The detention will not be lifted until full payment has been made or a sufficient guarantee has been given for the reimbursement of the costs.
3.13 The owner or the operator of a ship or his representative in the State concerned will have a right of appeal against a detention decision taken by the Authority of that State. An appeal will not cause the detention to be suspended. The Authority will properly inform the master of a ship of the right of appeal.
3.14 Each Authority will, as a minimum, publish quarterly information concerning ships detained during the previous 3-month period and which have been detained more than once during the past 24 months. The information published will include the following:
.1 name of the ship;
.2 name of the shipowner or the operator of the ship;
.3 IMO number;
.4 flag State;
.5 classification society, where relevant, and, if applicable, any other Party which has issued certificates to such ship in accordance with the relevant instruments;
.6 reason for detention;
.7 port and date of detention.
3.15 When exercising control under the Memorandum, the Authorities will make all possible efforts to avoid unduly detaining or delaying a ship. Nothing in the Memorandum affects rights created by provisions of relevant instruments relating to compensation for undue detention or delay. In any instance of alleged undue detention or delay the burden of proof lies with the owner or operator of the ship.
Section 4 Provision of information
Each Authority will report on its inspections under the Memorandum and their results, in accordance with the procedures specified in Annex 4.
Section 5 Operational violations
The Authorities will upon the request of another Authority, endeavour to secure evidence relating to suspected violations of the requirements on operational matters of Rule 10 of COLREG 72 and MARPOL 73/78. In case of suspected violations involving the discharge of harmful substances, an Authority will, upon the request of another Authority, visit in port the ship suspected of such a violation in order to obtain information and where appropriate to take a sample of any alleged pollutant. Procedures for investigations into contravention of discharge provisions are listed in Annex 1A.
Section 6 Organization
6.1 A Committee will be established, composed of a representative of each of the Authorities and of the Commission of the European Communities. An observer from each of the International Maritime Organization and the International Labour Organization will be invited to participate in the work of the Committee.

.1 Ships which have been reported by pilots or port authorities as having
deficiencies which may prejudice their safe navigation;
.2 Ships carrying dangerous or polluting goods, which have failed to report all relevant information concerning the ship’s particulars, the ship’s movements and concerning the dangerous or polluting goods being carried to the competent authority of the port and coastal State;
.3 Ships which have been the subject of a report or notification by another Authority;
.4 Ships which have been the subject of a report or complaint by the master, a crew member, or any person or organization with a legitimate interest in the safe operation of the ship, shipboard living and working conditions or the prevention of pollution, unless the Authority concerned deems the report or complaint to be manifestly unfounded; the identity of the person lodging the report or complaint must not be revealed to the master or the shipowner of the ship concerned;
.5 Ships which have been:
– involved in a collision, grounding or stranding on their way to the port,
– accused of an alleged violation of the provisions on discharge of harmful substances or effluents,
– manoeuvred in an erratic or unsafe manner whereby routing measures, adopted by the IMO, or safe navigation practices and procedures have not been followed, or
– otherwise operated in such a manner as to pose a danger to persons, property or the environment;
.6 Ships which have been suspended from their class for safety reasons in the course of the preceding 6 months.
1.2 In determining the order of priority for the inspection of ships, the Authority shall take into account the order indicated by the target factor displayed on the Sirenac information system. The following elements are relevant for the targeting factor:
.1 Ships visiting a port of a State, the Authority of which is a signatory to the Memorandum, for the first time or after an absence of 12 months or more.

Section 3 No more favourable treatment
3.1 Ships of non-Parties
Ships entitled to fly the flag of a State which is not a Party to a relevant instrument and thus not provided with certificates representing prima facie evidence of satisfactory conditions on board, or manned with crew members who do not hold valid STCW certificates, will receive a more detailed or, as appropriate, expanded inspection. In making such an inspection the port State control officer will follow the same procedures as provided for ships to which the relevant instruments are applicable.
If the ship or the crew has some alternative form of certification, the port State control officer, in making this inspection, may take the form and content of this documentation into account. The conditions of such a ship and its equipment and the certification of the crew and the flag State’s minimum manning standard must be compatible with the aims of the provisions of the relevant instruments; otherwise the ship must be subject to such restrictions as are necessary to obtain a comparable level of safety and protection of the marine environment.
3.2 Ships below convention size.
3.2.1 To the extent a relevant instrument is not applicable to a ship below convention size, the port State control officer’s task will be to assess whether the ship is of an acceptable standard in regard to safety, health or the environment. In making that assessment, the port State control officer will take due account of such factors as the length and nature of the intended voyage or service, the size and type of the ship, the equipment provided and the nature of the cargo.
3.2.2 In the exercise of his functions the port State control officer will be guided by any certificates and other documents issued by or on behalf of the flag State Administration. The port State control officer will, in the light of such certificates and documents and in his general impression of the ship, use his professional judgement in deciding whether and in what respects the ship will be further inspected. When carrying out a further inspection the port State control officer will, to the extent necessary, pay attention to the items listed in 3.2.3 of this Annex. The list is not considered exhaustive but is intended to give an exemplification of relevant items.
3.2.3 Items of general importance
3.2.3.1 Items related to the conditions of assignment of load lines:
.1 weather tight (or watertight as the case may be) integrity of exposed decks;
.2 hatches and closing appliances;
.3 weather tight closures to openings in superstructures;
.4 freeing arrangements;
.5 side outlets;
.6 ventilators and air pipes;
.7 stability information.
3.2.3.2 Other items related to the safety of life at sea:
.1 life saving appliances;
.2 fire fighting appliances;
.3 general structural conditions (i.e. hull, deck, hatch covers, etc.);
.4 main machinery and electrical installations;
.5 navigational equipment including radio installations.
3.2.3.3 Items related to the prevention of pollution from ships:
.1 means for the control of discharge of oil and oily mixtures e.g. oily water separating or filtering equipment or other equivalent means (tank(s) for retaining oil, oily mixtures, oil residues);
.2 means for the disposal of oil, oily mixtures or oil residues;
.3 presence of oil in the engine room bilges;
.4 means for the collection, storage and disposal of garbage.
3.2.4 In the case of deficiencies which are considered hazardous to safety, health or the environment the port State control officer will take such action, which may include detention as may be necessary, having regard to the factors mentioned in 3.2.1 of this Annex, to ensure that the deficiency is rectified or that the ship, if allowed to proceed to another port, does not present a clear hazard to safety, health or the environment.
Section 4 Examples of “clear grounds” for a more detailed or expanded inspection
4.1 In applying 3.1 of the Memorandum,”clear grounds” which warrant a more detailed or expanded inspection include the following:
.1 the ship has been identified as a priority case for inspection, under section 1.1 and section 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5b, 1.2.5.c, 1.2.8 and 1.2.11 of this Annex;
.2 during examination of the certificates and documents referred to in section 2 of this Annex, inaccuracies have been revealed or the documents have not been properly kept or updated;
.3 indications that the relevant crew members are unable to communicate appropriately with each other, or with other persons on board, or that the ship is unable to communicate with the shore-based authorities either in a common language or in the language of those authorities;
.4 evidence of cargo and other operations not being conducted safely or in accordance with IMO guidelines;
.5 failure of the master of an oil tanker to produce the record of the oil discharge monitoring and control system for the last ballast voyage;
.6 absence of an up-to-date muster list, or crew members not aware of their duties in the event of fire or an order to abandon the ship;
.7 the emission of false distress alerts not followed by proper cancellation procedures;
.8 the absence of principal equipment or arrangements required by the conventions;
.9 evidence from the port State control officer’s general impressions and observations that serious hull or structural deterioration or deficiencies exist that may place at risk the structural, watertight or weather tight integrity of the ship;
.10 excessively unsanitary conditions on board the ship.
.11 information or evidence that the master or crew is not familiar with essential shipboard operations relating to the safety of ships or the prevention of pollution, or that such operations have not been carried out.
Section 5 More detailed inspection
5.1 General
5.1.1 In the absence of valid certificates or documents or after the establishment of clear grounds, the port State control officer will:
.1 conduct a more detailed inspection in the area(s) where clear grounds were established;
.2 carry out a more detailed inspection in other areas at random; and
.3 include further checking of compliance with on-board operational requirements.
5.1.2 In the exercise of a more detailed inspection the port State control officer will take into account:
.1 the provisions of this section;
.2 the provisions of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code;
.3 the provisions of sections 6 and 7 of this Annex, as appropriate.
Where there are clear grounds for a more detailed inspection of a ship belonging to the categories listed in section 8 of this Annex, the port State control officer will ensure that an expanded inspection is carried out.
5.2 Procedures for inspection of ship structural and equipment requirements
Structure
5.2.1 The port State control officer’s impression of hull maintenance and the general state on deck, the condition of such items as ladder ways, guard-rails, pipe coverings and areas of corrosion or pitting will influence the port State control officer’s decision as to whether it is necessary to make the fullest possible examination of the structure with the ship afloat. Significant areas of damage or corrosion, or pitting of plating and associated stiffening in decks and hull affecting seaworthiness or strength to take local loads, may justify detention. It may be necessary for the underwater portion of the ship to be checked. In reaching a decision, the port State control officer will have regard to the seaworthiness and not the age of the ship, making an allowance for fair wear and tear over the minimum acceptable scantlings. Damage not affecting seaworthiness will not constitute grounds for judging that a ship should be detained, nor will damage that has been temporarily but effectively repaired for a voyage to a port for permanent repairs. However, in this assessment of the effect of damage, the port State control officer will have regard to the location of crew accommodation and whether the damage substantially affects its habitability.
5.2.2 The port State control officer will pay particular attention to the structural integrity and seaworthiness of bulk carriers and oil tankers (IMO Resolution A.744(18)).
5.2.3 The port State control officer’s assessment of the safety of the structure of those ships will be based on the Survey Report File carried on board. This file should contain reports of structural surveys, condition evaluation reports (translated into English and endorsed by the flag State Administration), thickness measurement reports and a survey planning document.
5.2.4 If the Survey Report File necessitates a more detailed inspection of the structure of the ship or if no such report is carried, special attention will be given by the port State control officer, as appropriate, to hull structure, piping systems in way of cargo tanks or holds, pump-rooms, cofferdams, pipe tunnels, void spaces within the cargo area, and ballast tanks.
5.2.5 For bulk carriers, port State control officers will inspect holds’ main structure for any obviously unauthorized repairs. Where applicable, for bulk carriers the port State control officer will verify that the bulk carrier booklet has been endorsed, that any restrictions imposed on the carriage of solid bulk cargoes have been recorded in the booklet, that the bulk carrier loading triangle is permanently marked and that water level alarms in cargo holds are fitted.
Machinery spaces
5.2.6 The port State control officer will assess the condition of the machinery and of the electrical installations such that they are capable of providing sufficient continuous power for propulsion and for auxiliary services.
5.2.7 During inspection of the machinery spaces, the port State control officer will form an impression of the standard of maintenance. Frayed or disconnected quick-closing valve wires, disconnected or inoperative extended control rods or machinery trip mechanisms, missing valve hand wheels, evidence of chronic steam, water and oil leaks, dirty tank tops and bilges or extensive corrosion of machinery foundations are pointers to an unsatisfactory organization of the systems’ maintenance. A large number of temporary repairs, including pipe clips or cement boxes, will indicate reluctance to make permanent repairs.
5.2.8 While it is not possible to determine the condition of the machinery without performance trials, general deficiencies, such as leaking pump glands, dirty water gauge glasses, inoperable pressure gauges, rusted relief valves, inoperative or disconnected safety or control devices, evidence of repeated operation of diesel engine scavenge belt or crankcase relief valves, malfunctioning or inoperative automatic equipment and alarm systems, and leaking boiler casings or uptakes, would warrant inspection of the engine room log book and investigation into the record of machinery failures and accidents and a request for running tests of machinery.
5.2.9 If one electrical generator is out of commission, the port State control officer will investigate whether power is available to maintain essential and emergency services and should conduct tests.
5.2.10 If evidence of neglect becomes evident, the port State control officer will extend the scope of an investigation to include, for example, tests on the main and auxiliary steering gear arrangements, overspeed trips, circuit breakers, etc.
5.2.11 It must be stressed that while detection of one or more of the above deficiencies would afford guidance to a substandard condition, the actual combination is a matter for professional judgement in each case.
Conditions of assignment of load lines
5.2.12 It may be that the port State control officer has concluded that a hull inspection is unnecessary but, if dissatisfied on the basis of observations on deck, with items such as defective hatch closing arrangements, corroded air pipes and vent coamings, the port State control officer will examine closely the conditions of assignment of load lines, paying particular attention to closing appliances, means of freeing water from the deck and arrangements concerned with the protection of the crew.
Life-saving appliances
5.2.13 The effectiveness of life-saving appliances depends heavily on good maintenance by the crew and their use in regular drills. The lapse of time since the last survey for a Safety Equipment Certificate can be a significant factor in the degree of deterioration of equipment if it has not been subject to regular inspection by the crew. Apart from failure to carry equipment required by a convention or obvious defects such as holed lifeboats, the port State control officer will look for signs of disuse of, or obstructions to, survival craft launching equipment which may include paint accumulation, seizing of pivot points, absence of greasing, condition of blocks and falls and improper lashing or stowing of deck cargo.
5.2.14 Should such signs be evident, the port State control officer will be justified in making a detailed inspection of all life-saving appliances. Such an examination might include the lowering of survival craft, a check on the servicing of life rafts and any fitted marine evacuation system a check of means of recovery of survivors, the number and condition of life jackets and lifebuoys and ensuring that the pyrotechnics are still within their period of validity. It would not normally be as detailed as that for a renewal of the Safety Equipment Certificate and would concentrate on essentials for safe abandonment of the ship, but in an extreme case could progress to a full Safety Equipment Certificate inspection. The provision and functioning of effective overside lighting, means of alerting the crew and passengers and provision of illuminated routes to assembly points and embarkation positions will be given importance in the inspection.
Fire safety
5.2.15 The poor condition of fire and wash deck lines and hydrants and the possible absence of fire hoses and extinguishers in accommodation spaces might be a guide to a need for a close inspection of all fire safety equipment. In addition to compliance with convention requirements, the port State control officer will look for evidence of a higher than normal fire risk; this might be brought about by a poor standard of cleanliness in the machinery space, which together with significant deficiencies of fixed or portable fire-extinguishing equipment could lead to a judgement of the ship being substandard.
5.2.16 The port State control officer will examine the fire control plan on board in order to obtain a general picture of the fire safety measures provided in the ship and consider their compliance with convention requirements for the year of build. Queries on the method of structural protection will be addressed to the flag State Administration and the port State control officer will generally confine the inspection to the effectiveness of the arrangements provided.
5.2.17 The spread of fire could be accelerated if fire doors are not readily operable. The port State control officer will inspect for the operability and securing arrangements of those doors in the main zone bulkheads and stairway enclosures and in boundaries of high fire risk spaces, such as main machinery rooms and galleys, giving particular attention to those retained in the open position. Attention will also be given to main vertical zones which may have been compromised through new construction. An additional hazard in the event of fire is the spread of smoke through ventilation systems. Spot checks might be made on dampers and smoke flaps to ascertain the standard of operability. The port State control officer will also ensure that ventilation fans can be stopped from the master controls and that means are available for closing main inlets and outlets of ventilation systems.
5.2.18 Attention will be given to the effectiveness of escape routes by ensuring that vital doors are not maintained locked and that alleyways and stairways are not obstructed.
Regulations for preventing collisions at sea
5.2.19 A vital aspect of ensuring safety of life at sea is full compliance with the collision regulations. Based on observations on deck, the port State control officer will consider the need for close inspection of lanterns and their screening and means of making sound and distress signals.
Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate
5.2.20 The general condition of the ship may lead the port State control officer to consider matters other than those concerned with safety equipment and assignment of load lines, but nevertheless associated with the safety of the vessel, such as the effectiveness of items associated with the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, which can include pumping arrangements, means for shutting off air and oil supplies in the event of fire, alarm systems and emergency power supplies.
Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificates
5.2.21 The validity of the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificates and associated Record of Equipment (Form R) may be accepted as proof of the provision and effectiveness of its associated equipment, but the port State control officer will ensure that appropriate certificated personnel are carried for its operation and for listening periods. Requirements for maintenance of radio equipment are contained in Regulation IV/15 of SOLAS 74. The radio log or radio records will be examined. Where considered necessary, operational checks may be carried out.
Equipment in excess of convention or flag State requirements
5.2.22 Equipment on board which is expected to be relied on in situations affecting safety or pollution prevention must be in operating condition. If such equipment is inoperative and is in excess of the equipment required by an appropriate convention and/or the flag State, it should be repaired, removed or, if removal is not practicable, clearly marked as inoperative and secured.
5.3 Crude oil washing
5.3.1 Inspection of crude oil washing operations
The port State control officer will ensure that crude oil washing is performed by all crude carriers either required to have a crude oil washing system or where the owner or operator chooses to install a crude oil washing system in order to comply with Regulation 13 of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78. In addition, compliance will be ensured with the operational requirements set out in the revised Specifications for the Design, Operation and Control of Crude Oil Washing Systems (IMO Resolution A.446(XI) , as amended by IMO Resolution A.497(XII)). This can best be done in the ports where the cargo is unloaded.
5.3.2 Procedures for in-port inspection of crude oil washing procedures
Inspections
5.3.2.1 The port State control officer will make the appropriate arrangements so as to ensure compliance with requirements governing the crude oil washing of oil tankers. This is not, however, to be construed as relieving terminal operators and ship owners of their obligations to ensure that the operation is undertaken in accordance with the regulations.
5.3.2.2 The inspection may cover the entire operation of crude oil washing or only certain aspects of it. It is thus in the interest of all concerned that the ship’s records with regard to the crude oil washing operations are maintained at all times so that a port State control officer may verify those operations undertaken prior to the inspection.
Ship’s personnel
5.3.2.3 The person in charge and the other nominated persons who have responsibility in respect of the crude oil washing operation must be identified. They must, if required, be able to show that their qualifications meet the requirements, as appropriate, of 5.2 and 5.3 of the revised Specifications for the Design, Operation and Control of Crude Oil Washing Systems (IMO Resolution A.446(XI), as amended by IMO Resolution A.497(XII)).
5.3.2.4 The verification may be accomplished by reference to the individual’s discharge papers, testimonials issued by the ship’s operator or by certificates issued by a training centre approved by an Administration. The numbers of such personnel must be at least as stated in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual.
Documentation
5.3.2.5 The following documents must be available for inspection:
.1 The IOPP Certificate and the Record of Construction and Equipment, to determine:
.1 whether the ship is fitted with a crude oil washing system as required in Regulation 13(6) or (8) of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78;
.2 whether the crude oil washing system is according to and complying with the requirements of Regulation 13(B) of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78;
.3 the validity and date of the COW Operations and Equipment Manual; and
.4 the validity of the Certificate.
.2 The approved COW Operations and Equipment Manual;
.3 The Oil Record Book; and
.4 The Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate to confirm that the inert gas system conforms to regulations contained in Chapter II-2 of SOLAS 74, as amended.
Inert gas system
5.3.2.6 Inert gas system regulations require that instrumentation shall be fitted for continuously indicating and permanently recording at all times when inert gas is being supplied, the pressure and the oxygen content of the gas in the inert gas supply main. Reference to the permanent recorder must indicate if the system had been operating before and during the cargo discharge in a satisfactory manner.
5.3.2.7 If conditions specified in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual are not being met then the washing must be stopped until satisfactory conditions are restored.
5.3.2.8 As a further precautionary measure, the oxygen level in each tank to be washed is to be determined at the tank. The metres used must be calibrated and inspected to ensure that they are in good working order. Readings from tanks already washed in port prior to inspection must be available for checking. Spot checks on readings may be instituted.
Electrostatic generation
5.3.2.9 It will be confirmed either from the cargo log or by questioning the person in charge that presence of water in the crude oil is being minimized as required by 6.7 of the revised Specifications (IMO Resolution A.446(XI) , as amended by IMO Resolution A.497(XII)).
Communication
5.3.2.10 It will be established that effective means of communication exist between the person in charge and the other persons concerned with the crude oil washing operation.
Leakage on deck
5.3.2.11 Port State control officers will ensure that the crude oil washing piping system has been operationally tested for leakage before cargo discharge and that the test has been noted in the ship’s Oil Record Book.
Exclusion of oil from engine-room
5.3.2.12 It will be ascertained that the method of excluding cargo oil from the machinery space is being maintained by inspecting the isolating arrangements of the tank washing heater (if fitted) or of any part of the tank washing system which enters the machinery space.
Suitability of the crude oil
5.3.2.13 In judging the suitability of the oil for crude oil washing, the guidance and criteria contained in section 9 of the COW Operations and Equipment Manual must be taken into account.
Checklist
5.3.2.14 It will be determined from the ship’s records that the pre-crude oil wash operational checklist was carried out and all instruments functioned correctly. Spot checks on certain items may be instituted.
Wash programmes
5.3.2.15 Where the tanker is engaged in a multiple port discharge, the Oil Record Book must indicate if tanks were crude oil washed at previous discharge ports or at sea. It will be determined that all tanks which will, or may, be used to contain ballast on the forthcoming voyage will be crude oil washed before the ship departs from the port. There is no obligation to wash any tank other than ballast tanks at a discharge port except that each of these other tanks must be washed at least in accordance with 6.1 of the revised Specifications (IMO Resolution A.446(XI) , as amended by IMO Resolution A.497(XII)). The Oil Record Book will be inspected to check that this is being complied with.
5.3.2.16 All crude oil washing must be completed before a ship leaves its final port of discharge.
5.3.2.17 If tanks are not being washed in one of the preferred orders given in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual, the port State control officer will determine that the reason for this, and the proposed order of tank washing, are acceptable.
5.3.2.18 For each tank being washed it will be ensured that the operation is in accordance with the COW Operations and Equipment Manual in that:
.1 the deck mounted machines and the submerged machines are operating either by reference to indicators, the sound patterns or other approved methods;
.2 the deck mounted machines, where applicable, are programmed as stated;
.3 the duration of the wash is as required; and
.4 the number of tank washing machines being used simultaneously does not exceed that specified.
Stripping of tanks
5.3.2.19 The minimum trim conditions and the parameters of the stripping operations are to be stated in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual.
5.3.2.20 All tanks which have been crude oil washed are to be stripped. The adequacy of the stripping is to be checked by hand dipping at least in the after most hand dipping location in each tank or by such other means provided and described in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual. It will be ascertained that the adequacy of stripping has been checked or will be checked before the ship leaves its final port of discharge.
Ballasting
5.3.2.21 Tanks that were crude oil washed at sea will be recorded in the Oil Record Book. These tanks must be left empty between discharge ports for inspection at the next discharge port. Where these tanks are the designated departure ballast tanks they may be required to be ballasted at a very early stage of the discharge. This is for operational reasons and also because they must be ballasted during cargo discharge if hydrocarbon emission is to be contained on the ship. If these tanks are to be inspected when empty, then this must be done shortly after the tanker berths. If a port State control officer arrives after the tanks have begun accepting ballast, then the sounding of the tank bottom would not be available. However, an examination of the surface of the ballast water is then possible. The thickness of the oil film should not be greater than that specified in 4.2.10(b) of the revised Specifications (IMO Resolution A.446(XI), as amended by IMO Resolution A.497(XII)).
5.3.2.22 The tanks that are designated ballast tanks will be listed in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual. It is, however, left to the discretion of the master or responsible officer to decide which tanks may be used for ballast on the forthcoming voyage. It will be determined from the Oil Record Book that all such tanks have been washed before the tanker leaves its last discharge port. It must be noted that where a tanker back-loads a cargo of crude oil at an intermediate port into tanks designated for ballast, then it will not be required to wash those tanks at that particular port but at a subsequent port.
5.3.2.23 It will be determined from the Oil Record Book that additional ballast water has not been put into tanks which had not been crude oil washed during previous voyages.
5.3.2.24 It will be verified that the departure ballast tanks are stripped as completely as possible. Where departure ballast is filled through cargo lines and pumps these must be stripped either into another cargo tank, or ashore by the special small diameter line provided for this purpose.
5.3.2.25 The methods to avoid vapour emission where locally required will be provided in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual and they must be adhered to. The port State control officer will ensure that this is being complied with.
5.3.2.26 The typical procedures for ballasting listed in the COW Operations and Equipment Manual must be observed. The port State control officer will ensure this is being complied with.
5.3.2.27 When departure ballast is to be shifted, the discharge into the sea must be in compliance with Regulation 9 of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78. The Oil Record Book will be inspected to ensure that the ship is complying with this.
5.4 Unloading, stripping and prewash operations under Annex II to MARPOL 73/78
5.4.1 Procedures for inspection of unloading, stripping and prewashing operations (mainly in unloading ports)
Introduction
5.4.1.1 The port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration exercising control in accordance with Regulation 8 of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 must be thoroughly acquainted with Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 and the custom of the port as of relevance to cargo handling, tank washing, cleaning berths, prohibition of lighters alongside, etc.
Documentation
5.4.1.2 The documentation required for the inspection referred to in this appendix consists of:
.1 CoF or NLS Certificate;
.2 cargo plan and shipping document;
.3 Procedures and Arrangements (P and A) Manual; and
.4 Cargo Record Book.
Information by ship’s staff
5.4.1.3 Of relevance to the port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration is the following:
.1 the intended loading and unloading programme of the ship;
.2 whether unloading and stripping operations can be effected in accordance with the P and A Manual and if not the reason why it cannot be done;
.3 the constraints, if any, under which the efficient stripping system operates (i.e. back pressure, ambient air temperature, malfunctioning, etc.);
.4 whether the ship proceeds to, remains inside, or leaves a Special Area; and
.5 whether the ship requests an exemption from the prewashing and the discharge of residues in the unloading port.
5.4.1.4 When tank washing is required without the use of water the port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration is to be informed about the tank washing procedure and disposal of residues.
5.4.1.5 When the Cargo Record Book is not up to date, any information on prewash and residue disposal operations outstanding must be supplied.
Information from terminal staff
5.4.1.6 Terminal staff must supply information on limitations imposed upon the ship in respect of back pressure and/or reception facilities.
Control
5.4.1.7 On boarding and introduction to the master or responsible ship officer’s, the port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration will examine the necessary documentation.
5.4.1.8 The documentation may be used to establish the following:
.1 noxious liquid substances to be unloaded, their categories and stowage (cargo plan, P and A Manual);
.2 details (possibilities and limitations) of efficient stripping system, if fitted (P and A Manual);
.3 tanks which require prewashing with disposal of tank washings to reception facilities (shipping document and cargo temperature);
.4 tanks which require prewashing with disposal of tank washings either to reception facilities or into the sea (P and A Manual, shipping document and cargo temperature);
.5 prewash operations and/or residue disposal operations outstanding (Cargo Record Book); and
.6 tanks which may not be washed with water due to the nature of substances involved (P and A Manual).
5.4.1.9 In respect of the prewash operations referred to in 5.4.1.8 of this Annex, the following information is of relevance (P and A Manual):
.1 pressure required for tank washing machines;
.2 duration of one cycle of the tank washing machine and quantity of water used;
.3 washing programmes for the substances involved;
.4 required temperature of washing water; and
.5 special procedures.
5.4.1.10 The port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration, in accordance with Regulation 8 of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78, will ascertain that unloading, stripping and/or prewash operations are carried out in conformance with the information obtained in accordance with 5.4.1.2 of this Annex (Documentation). If this cannot be achieved, alternative measures will be taken to ensure that the ship does not proceed to sea with more than the quantities of residue specified in Regulation 5A to Annex II to MARPOL 73/78, as applicable. If the residue quantities cannot be reduced by alternative measures the port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration will inform his Administration.
5.4.1.11 Care must be taken to ensure that cargo hoses and piping systems of the terminal are not drained back to the ship.
5.4.1.12 If a ship is exempted from certain pumping efficiency requirements under Regulation 5A of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 or requests an exemption from certain stripping or prewashing procedures under Regulation 8 of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 the conditions for such exemption set out in the said regulations will be observed. These concern:
.1 Regulation 5A(6). The ship is constructed before 1 July 1986 and is exempted from the requirement for reducing its residue quantities to specified limits (i.e. category B substances 0.3 m3 or 1 m3 and category C substances 0.9 m3 or 3 m3). Whenever a cargo tank is to be washed or ballasted, a prewash is required with disposal of prewash slops to shore reception facilities. The CoF or NLS Certificate must have been endorsed to the effect that the ship is solely engaged in restricted voyages;
.2 Regulation 5A(7). The ship is never required to ballast its cargo tanks and tank washing is only required for repair or drydocking. The CoF or NLS Certificate must indicate the particulars of the exemption. Each cargo tank must be certified for the carriage of only one named substance;
.3 Regulations 8(2)(b)(i), 8(5)(b)(i), 8(6)(c)(i) and 8(7)(c)(i). Cargo tanks will not be washed or ballasted prior to the next loading;
.4 Regulations 8(2)(b)(ii), 8(5)(b)(ii), 8(6)(c)(ii) and 8(7)(c)(ii). Cargo tanks will be washed and prewash slops will be discharged to reception facilities in another port. It must be confirmed in writing that an adequate reception facility is available at that port for such purpose; and
.5 Regulations 8(2)(b)(iii), 8(5)(b)(iii), 8(6)(c)(iii) and 8(7)(c)(iii). The cargo residues can be removed by ventilation.
5.4.1.13 The port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration must endorse the Cargo Record Book under section J whenever an exemption referred to under 5.4.1.12.3, 5.4.1.12.4 and 5.4.1.12.5 of this Annex has been granted, or whenever a tank having unloaded category A substances has been prewashed in accordance with the P and A Manual.
5.4.1.14 Alternatively, for category A substances, Regulation 8(3) of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78, residual concentration must be measured by the procedures which each port State authorizes. In this case the port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration must endorse in the Cargo Record Book under section K whenever the required residual concentration has been achieved.
5.4.1.15 In addition to 5.4.1.13 of this Annex, the port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration must endorse the Cargo Record Book whenever the unloading, stripping or prewash of category B, C and D substances, in accordance with the P and A Manual, has actually been witnessed.
5.4.1.16 The port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration must be aware that certain “oil like” noxious liquid substances may be carried on product carriers. Such substances must be indicated on the IOPP Certificate. For the control of ships carrying such substances, the Control Procedures under Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 apply. The port State control officer or the surveyor authorized by the port State Administration exercising control in accordance with Regulation 8 of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 must be thoroughly acquainted with Annex I to MARPOL 73/78.
5.5 Procedures for control of operational requirements
5.5.1 In the exercise of a more detailed inspection, the port State control officer will not include any operational tests or impose physical demands which, in the judgement of the master, could jeopardize the safety of the ship, crew, passengers, control officers or cargo.
5.5.2 When carrying out operational control, the port State control officer will ensure, as far as possible, no interference with normal shipboard operations, such as loading and unloading of cargo and ballasting, which is carried out under the responsibility of the master, nor will the port State control officer require demonstration of operational aspects which would unnecessarily delay the ship.
5.5.3 Having assessed the extent to which operational requirements are complied with, the port State control officer then has to exercise professional judgement to determine whether the operational proficiency of the crew as a whole is of a sufficient level to allow the ship to sail without danger to the ship or persons on board, or presenting an unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment.
Muster list
5.5.4 The port State control officer may determine if the crew members are aware of their duties indicated in the muster list.
5.5.5 The port State control officer may ensure that muster lists are exhibited in conspicuous places throughout the ship, including the navigational bridge, the engine room and the crew accommodation spaces. When determining if the muster list is in accordance with the regulations, the port State control officer may verify whether:
.1 the muster list shows the duties assigned to the different members of the crew;
.2 the muster list specifies which officers are assigned to ensure that life-saving and fire appliances are maintained in good condition and are ready for immediate use;
.3 the muster list specifies the substitutes for key persons who may become disabled, taking into account that different emergencies may call for different actions;
.4 the muster list shows the duties assigned to crew members in relation to passengers in case of emergency;
.5 the format of the muster list used on passenger ships is approved and that the list includes translation into the working language, if it is not the official language.
5.5.6 To determine whether the muster list is up to date, the port State control officer may require an up-to-date crew list, if available, to verify this. Other possible means, e.g. Safe Manning Document, may be used for this purpose.
5.5.7 The port State control officer may determine whether the duties assigned to crew members manning the survival craft (lifeboats or life rafts) are in accordance with the regulations and verify that a deck officer or certificated person is placed in charge of each survival craft to be used. However, the flag State Administration, having due regard to the nature of the voyage, the number of persons on board and the characteristics of the ship, may permit persons practised in the handling and operation of life rafts to be placed in charge of life rafts in lieu of persons qualified as above. A second-in-command must have been nominated in the case of lifeboats.
5.5.8 The port State control officer may determine whether the crew members are familiar with the duties assigned to them in the muster list and are aware of the locations where they should perform their duties.
Communication
5.5.9 The port State control officer may determine if the key crew members are able to communicate with each other, and with passengers as appropriate, in such a way that the safe operation of the ship is not impaired, especially in emergency situations.
5.5.10 The port State control officer may ask the master which languages are used as the working languages and may verify whether the language has been recorded in the logbook.
5.5.11 The port State control officer may ensure that the key crew members are able to understand each other during the inspection or drills. The crew members assigned to assist passengers must be able to give the necessary information to the passengers in case of an emergency.
Search and Rescue Plan
5.5.11 bis For passenger ships trading on fixed routes, the port State control officer may verify that there is on board an approved plan for co-operation with appropriate search and rescue services in event of an emergency.
Emergency training and drills
5.5.12 The port State control officer will check the on board training and examine the dates and details of the muster as recorded in such logbook as may be prescribed by the Administration. The port State control officer witnessing a fire and abandon ship drill will ensure that the crew members are familiar with their duties and the proper use of the ship’s installations and equipment.
Fire drills
5.5.13 The port State control officer may witness a fire drill carried out by the crew assigned to these duties on the muster list. After consultation with the master of the vessel, one or more specific locations of the ship may be selected for a simulated fire. A crew member may be sent to the location(s) and activate a fire alarm system or use other means to give alarm.
5.5.14 At the location the port State control officer can describe the fire indication to the crew member and observe how the report of fire is relayed to the bridge or damage control centre. At this point most ships will sound the crew alarm to summon the fire-fighting parties to their stations. The port State control officer will observe the fire-fighting party arriving on the scene, breaking out their equipment and fighting the simulated fire. Team leaders must be capable of giving orders as appropriate to their crews and passing the word back to the bridge or damage control centre on the conditions. The fire-fighting crews will be observed for proper donning and the use of their equipment. The port State control officer will make sure that all the gear is complete. Merely mustering the crew with their gear is not acceptable. Crew response to personnel injuries can be checked by selecting a crew member as a simulated casualty. The port State control officer will observe how the word is passed and the response of stretcher and medical teams. Handling a stretcher properly through narrow passageways, doors and stairways is difficult and takes practice.
5.5.15 The drill must, as far as practicable, be conducted as if there were an actual emergency.
5.5.16 Those crew members assigned to other duties related to a fire drill, such as the manning of the emergency generators, the CO2 room, the sprinkler and emergency fire pumps, must also be involved in the drill. The port State control officer may ask these crew members to explain their duties and if possible to demonstrate their familiarity.
5.5.17 On passenger ships, special attention will be paid to the duties of those crew members assigned to the closing of manually operated doors and fire dampers. These closing devices must be operated by the responsible persons in the areas of the simulated fire(s) during the drill. Crew members not assigned to the fire-fighting teams are generally assigned to locations throughout the passenger accommodations to assist in passenger evacuation. These crew members will be asked to explain their duties and the meaning of the various emergency signals and asked to point out the two means of escape from the area, and where the passengers are to report. Crew members assigned to assist passengers must be able to communicate at least enough information to direct a passenger to the proper muster and embarkation stations.
Abandon ship drills
5.5.18 After consultation with the master, the port State control officer may require an abandon ship drill for one or more survival craft. The essence of this drill is that the survival craft are manned and operated by the crew members assigned to them on the muster list. If possible the port State control officer will include the rescue boat(s) in this drill. Chapter III of SOLAS 74 gives specific requirements on abandon ship training and drills, of which the following principles are particularly relevant.
5.5.19 The drill must, as far as practicable, be conducted as if there was an actual emergency.
5.5.20 The abandon ship drill must include:
.1 summoning of (passengers and) crew to the muster station(s) with the required alarm and ensuring that they are aware of the order to abandon ship as specified in the muster list;
.2 reporting to the stations and preparing for the duties described in the muster list;
.3 checking that (passengers and) crew are suitably dressed;
.4 checking that life jackets are correctly donned;
.5 lowering of at least one lifeboat after the necessary preparation for launching;
.6 starting and operating the lifeboat engine; and
.7 operation of the davits used for launching life rafts;
.8 a mock search and rescue of passengers trapped in their staterooms;
.9 instructions in the use of radio life saving appliances;
.10 testing of emergency lighting for mustering and abandonment; and
.11 if the ship is fitted with marine evacuation systems, exercising of the procedures required for the deployment of such systems up to the point of immediately preceding actual deployment.
5.5.21 If the lifeboat lowered during the drill is not the rescue boat, the rescue boat must be lowered as well, taking into account that it is boarded and launched in the shortest possible time. The port State control officer will ensure that crew members are familiar with the duties assigned to them during abandon ship operations and that the crew member in charge of the survival craft has complete knowledge of the operation and equipment of the survival craft.
5.5.22 Each survival craft must be stowed in a state of continuous readiness so that two crew members can carry out preparations for embarking and launching in less than 5 minutes.
5.5.23 On passenger ships, it is required that lifeboats and davit-launched life rafts are capable of being launched within a period of 30 minutes.
5.5.24 On cargo ships, it is required that lifeboats and davit launched life rafts are capable of being launched within a period of 10 minutes.
Damage control plan and Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP)
5.5.25 The port State control officer may determine if a damage control plan on a passenger ship is provided and whether the appropriate crew members are familiar with their duties and the proper use of the ship’s installations and equipment for damage control and pollution emergency purposes.
5.5.26 The port State control officer may determine if the officers of the ship are aware of the contents of the damage control booklet which must be available to them, or of the damage control plan.
5.5.27 The officers may be asked to explain the action to be taken in various damage conditions.
5.5.28 The officers may also be asked to explain about the boundaries of the watertight compartments, the openings therein with the means of closure and position of any controls thereof and the arrangements for the correction of any list due to flooding.
5.5.29 The officers must have a sound knowledge of the effect of trim and stability of their ship in the event of damage to and consequent flooding of a compartment and counter-measures to be taken.
5.5.30 The provisions referred to in 5.5.25 to 5.5.29 of this Annex apply accordingly to the damage control plan for cargo ships and to the SOPEP for all ships. Where applicable, for bulk carriers the port State control officer may determine the familiarity of officers with the cargo holds flooding scenarios and the instructions on evacuation preparedness.
Fire control plan
5.5.31 The port State control officer may determine if a fire control plan or booklet is provided and whether the crew members are familiar with the information given in the fire control plan or booklet.
5.5.32 The port State control officer may verify that fire control plans are permanently exhibited for the guidance of the ship’s officers. Alternatively, booklets containing the information of the fire control plan may be supplied to each officer, and one copy must at all times be available on board in an accessible position. Plans and booklets must be kept up to date, any alterations being recorded thereon as soon as possible.
5.5.33 The port State control officer may determine that the responsible officers, especially those who are assigned to related duties on the muster list, are aware of the information provided by the fire control plan or booklet and how to act in case of a fire.
5.5.34 The port State control officer may ensure that the officers in charge of the ship are familiar with the principal structural members which form part of the various fire sections and the means of access to the different compartments.
Decision support system for masters of passenger ships
5.5.34 bis For passenger ships the port State control officer may verify that a decision support system for emergency management is provided on the navigation bridge, consisting as a minimum of a printed emergency plan or plans.
Bridge operation
5.5.35 The port State control officer may determine if officers in charge of a navigational watch are familiar with bridge control and navigational equipment, changing the steering mode from automatic to manual and vice versa, and the ship’s manoeuvring characteristics.
5.5.36 The officer in charge of a navigational watch must have knowledge of the location and operation of all safety and navigational equipment. Moreover, this officer must be familiar with procedures which apply to the navigation of the ship in all circumstances and must be aware of all information available.
5.5.37 The port State control officer may also verify the familiarity of the officers on all the information available to them such as manoeuvring characteristics of the ship, life-saving signals, up-to-date nautical publications, checklists concerning bridge procedures, instructions, manuals, etc.
5.5.38 The port State control officer may verify the familiarity of the officers with procedures such as periodical tests and checks of equipment, preparations for arrival and departure, change over of steering modes, signalling, communications, manoeuvring, emergencies and log book entries.
5.5.38.1 The Permit to Operate for High Speed Craft (POHSC) includes limitations of the maximum significant wave height (and wind force for hovercraft) within which the craft may operate. When carrying out inspections of HSC, PSCOs may verify by the logbook and the weather records whether these limitations have been respected. PSCOs may find that a voyage had to be completed when worse weather conditions than permitted were encountered, but a new voyage should not commence in such conditions.
5.5.38.2 Procedures for obtaining up-to-date forecasts before every voyage should also be checked. Forecasts of significant wave heights should cover a relevant period. When the conditions are marginal the master should obtain updates from the port State weather services or ships in the vicinity. If procedures are found to be lacking, owners should be required to confirm their corrective action. PSCOs should question logbook entries which record conditions significantly below forecasts of conditions above operating limits. If further evidence is needed, hindcasts (i.e. reports of the actual weather over a given period) may be available from the port weather service but these should normally only be obtained when there is significant doubt. Where a HSC is found to have breached its weather limitations, action may include sending a warning letter to the owners with a copy to the flag State.
Cargo operation
5.5.39 The port State control officer may determine if ship’s personnel assigned specific duties related to the cargo and cargo equipment are familiar with those duties, any dangers posed by the cargo and with the measures to be taken in such a context.

5.5.40 With respect to the carriage of solid bulk cargoes, the port State control officer will verify, as appropriate, that cargo loading is performed in accordance with a ship’s loading plan and unloading in accordance with a ship’s unloading plan agreed by the ship and the terminal, taking into account the information provided by the loading instrument, where fitted.
5.5.41 The port State control officer, when appropriate, may determine whether the responsible crew members are familiar with the relevant provisions of the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes, particularly those concerning moisture limits and trimming of the cargo, the Code of Safe Practice for Ships Carrying Timber Deck Cargoes and the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing.
5.5.42 Some solid materials transported in bulk can present a hazard during transport because of their chemical nature or physical properties. SOLAS regulation VI/2 and Section 2 of the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes give general precautions. Section 4 of the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes contains the obligation imposed on the shipper to provide all necessary information to ensure a safe transport of the cargo. The port State control officer may determine whether all relevant details, including all relevant certificates of tests, have been provided to the master from the shipper.
5.5.43 For some cargoes, such as cargoes which are subject to liquefaction, special precautions are given in section 7 of the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes. The port State control officer may determine whether all precautions are met with special attention for the stability of those vessels engaged in the transport of cargoes subject to liquefaction and solid hazardous waste in bulk.
5.5.44 Officers responsible for cargo handling and operation and key crew members of oil tankers, chemical tankers and liquefied gas carriers must be familiar with the cargo and cargo equipment and with the safety measures as stipulated in the relevant sections of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code) and of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code).
5.5.45 For the carriage of grain in bulk, reference is made to part C of Chapter VI of SOLAS 74 and the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Grain in Bulk (IMO Resolution MSC.23(59)).

.1 the quantity of oil residues generated;
.2 the capacity of sludge and bilge water holding tank; and
.3 the capacity of the oily water separator.
5.5.55 An inspection of the Oil Record Book will be made. The port State control officer may determine if reception facilities have been used and note any alleged inadequacy of such facilities.
5.5.56 The port State control officer may determine whether the responsible officer is familiar with the handling of sludge and bilge water. The relevant items from the guidelines for systems for handling oily wastes in machinery spaces of ships may be used as guidance. Taking into account the above, the port State control officer may determine if the ullage of the sludge tank is sufficient for the expected generated sludge during the next intended voyage. The port State control officer may verify that, in respect of ships for which the flag State Administration has waived the requirements of Regulation 16(1) and (2) of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78, all oily bilge water is retained on board for subsequent discharge to a reception facility.
5.5.57 When reception facilities in other ports have not been used because of inadequacy, the port State control officer will advise the master to report the inadequacy of the reception facility to the ship’s flag State, in conformity with MEPC/Circ.215 of 25 April 1989.

Section 6 Manning
6.1 Introduction
The guiding principles for port State control of the manning of a foreign ship will be to establish conformity with:
.1 the flag State’s safe manning requirements. Where this is in doubt the flag State will be consulted; and
.2 the international provisions as laid down in SOLAS 74, STCW 78 and IMO Resolution A.481(XII).
.3 the provisions of ILO 147 which inter alia refer to the ILO Convention No. 53, Article 3 and 4.
6.2 Manning control
6.2.1 If a ship is manned in accordance with a safe manning document or equivalent document issued by the flag State, the port State control officer will accept that the ship is safely manned unless the document has clearly been issued without regard to the principles contained in the relevant instruments in which case the port State control officer will act according to the procedures defined in 6.2.3 of this Annex.
6.2.2 If the actual crew number or composition does not conform to the manning document, the port State will request the flag State for advice as to whether or not the ship should be allowed to sail with the actual number of crew and its composition. Such a request and response will be by expedient means and either Party may request this communication in writing. If the actual crew number or composition is not brought into accordance with the safe manning document or the flag State does not advise that the ship could sail, the ship may be considered for detention after the criteria set out in 9.2 of this Annex have been taken into proper account.
6.2.3 If the ship does not carry a safe manning document or equivalent, the port State will request the flag State to specify the required number of crew and its composition and to issue a document as quickly as possible.
In case the actual number or composition of the crew does not conform to the specifications received from the flag State the procedure as contained in 6.2.2 of this Annex applies.
If the flag State does not respond to the request this will be considered as clear grounds for a more detailed inspection to ensure that the number and composition of the crew is in accordance with the principles laid down in 6.1 of this Annex. The ship will only be allowed to proceed to sea if it is safe to do so, taking into account the criteria for detention indicated in 9.2 of this Annex. In any such case the minimum standards to be applied will be no more stringent than those applied to ships flying the flag of the port State.
6.3 Control under the provisions of STCW 78
6.3.1 Without prejudice to other rights and obligations on control by port State control officers concerning communication and information on board, control exercised by the port State control officer will be limited to the following:
.1 verification that all seafarers serving on board, who are required to be certificated, hold an appropriate certificate or a valid dispensation, or provide documentary proof that an application for an endorsement has been submitted to the flag State Administration;
.2 verification that the numbers and certificates of the seafarers serving on board are in conformity with the applicable safe manning requirements of the flag State Administration; and
.3 assessment of the ability of the seafarers of the ship to maintain watch keeping standards as required by the Convention if there are clear grounds for believing that such standards are not being maintained because any of the following have occurred:
.1 the ship has been involved in a collision, grounding or stranding, or
.2 there has been a discharge of substances from the ship when underway, at anchor or at berth which is illegal under any international convention, or
.3 the ship has been manoeuvred in an erratic or unsafe manner whereby routeing measures adopted by the IMO or safe navigation practices and procedures have not been followed, or
.4 the ship is otherwise being operated in such a manner as to pose a danger to persons, property or the environment.
6.3.2 In assessing the watch keeping standards the port State control officer may check that watch schedules clearly show rest periods, are posted and easily accessible and that all persons who are assigned duty as officer in charge of a watch or as a rating forming part of a watch are provided a minimum of 10 hours of rest in any 24 hour period of which at least 6 hours are consecutive and 70 hours in each seven day period. These periods do not need to be maintained in case of an emergency or drill or in other overriding operational conditions which, in any case, should be recorded.
Section 7 Merchant Shipping (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 147).
7.1 Inspections on board ships under ILO 147 will relate to:
.1 the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138); or

.5 the Food and Catering (Ships’ Crews) Convention, 1946 (No. 68) (Article 5);
.6 the Officers’ Competency Certificates Convention, 1936 (No. 53) (Articles 3 and 4).
Inspection regarding certificates of competency is dealt with in section 6 of this Annex. In the exercise of control of the conventions listed in .1 to .5 above, the port State control officer will decide, on the basis of the clear grounds listed in section 4 of this Annex and his professional judgement, whether the ship will receive a more detailed inspection. All complaints regarding conditions on board will be investigated thoroughly and action taken as deemed necessary. He will also use his professional judgement to determine whether the conditions on board give rise to a hazard to the safety or health of the crew which necessitates the rectification of conditions and may, if necessary, detain the ship until appropriate corrective action is taken. Reporting procedures for detentions are provided in Annex 4.
7.2 The port State control officer, when carrying out an inspection as referred to in 7.1 of this Annex, will further take into account the considerations given in the ILO publication “Inspection of Labour Conditions on board Ship: Guide-lines for procedure”.
7.3 The conventions relevant in the framework of the provisions of 7.4 of this Annex are:
.1 the Seamen’s Articles of Agreement Convention, 1926 (no. 22);

7.4 If the port State control officer receives a report, notification or complaint to the effect that the standards laid down in the conventions listed in 7.3 of this Annex are not met, the matter will be reported by the Authority, if possible with evidence, to the flag State Administration for further action, with a copy to the ILO.
7.5 Those parts of the ILO publication “Inspection of Labour Conditions on board Ship: Guide-lines for procedure” which deal with:
.1 control procedures for national flag ships;
.2 vocational training;
.3 officers’ certificates of competency;
.4 hours of work and manning;
are not considered as relevant provisions for the inspection of ships but as information to port State control officers only.

Section 9 Rectification and detention
9.1 Principles governing rectification of deficiencies or detention of a ship
In taking a decision concerning the rectification of a deficiency or detention of a ship, the port State control officer will take into consideration the results of the detailed inspection carried out in accordance with section 3 of the Memorandum and the procedures mentioned in section 6 and in 9.3 of this Annex.
The port State control officer will exercise his professional judgement in determining whether to detain the ship until the deficiencies are corrected or to allow it to sail with certain deficiencies without unreasonable danger to the safety, health, or the environment, having regard to the particular circumstances of the intended voyage. As regards minimum manning standards and the provisions of ILO Convention No. 147, special procedures will be observed set out in sections 6 and 7 of this Annex.
9.2 Detention related to minimum manning standards and certification
Before detaining a ship for reasons of deficient manning standards and certification, the following will be considered, giving due regard to 9.3.4.9 of this Annex:
.1 length and nature of the intended voyage or service;
.2 whether or not the deficiency poses a danger to ships, persons on board or the environment;
.3 whether or not appropriate rest periods of the crew can be observed;
.4 size and type of ship and equipment provided; and
.5 nature of cargo.
9.3 Procedures for the detention of ships of all sizes.
9.3.1 Introduction
These procedures will be used if deficiencies are found during the course of a ship inspection. They are intended for guidance of the port State control officer and are not to be considered as a checklist.
9.3.2 Main criteria
When exercising his professional judgement as to whether or not a ship should be detained the port State control officer will apply the following criteria:
.1 Timing: ships which are unsafe to proceed to sea will be detained upon the first inspection irrespective of the time the ship will stay in port;
.2 Criterion: the ship will be detained if the deficiencies on a ship are sufficiently serious to merit a port State control officer returning to the ship to satisfy himself that they have been rectified before the ship sails.
The need for the port State control officer to return to the ship classifies the seriousness of the deficiencies. However, it does not impose such an obligation for every case. It implies that the Authority will verify, preferably by a further visit, that the deficiencies have been rectified before departure.
9.3.3 Application of main criteria
When deciding whether the deficiencies found in a ship are sufficiently serious to merit detention the port State control officer will assess whether:
.1 the ship has relevant, valid documentation;
.2 the ship has the crew required in the Minimum Safe Manning Document.
During inspection the port State control officer will further assess whether the ship and/or crew is able to:
.3 navigate safely throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.4 safely handle, carry and monitor the condition of the cargo throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.5 operate the engine room safely throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.6 maintain proper propulsion and steering throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.7 fight fires effectively in any part of the ship if necessary during the forthcoming voyage;
.8 abandon ship speedily and safely and effect rescue if necessary during the forthcoming voyage;
.9 prevent pollution of the environment throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.10 maintain adequate stability throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.11 maintain adequate watertight integrity throughout the forthcoming voyage;
.12 communicate in distress situations if necessary during the forthcoming voyage;
.13 provide safe and healthy conditions on board throughout the forthcoming voyage;
If the result of any of these assessments is negative, taking into account all deficiencies found, the ship will be strongly considered for detention. A combination of deficiencies of a less serious nature may also warrant the detention of the ship.
9.3.4 Detainable deficiencies
To assist the port State control officer in the use of these procedures there follows a list of deficiencies, grouped under relevant Conventions and/or Codes, which are considered of such a serious nature that they may warrant the detention of the ship involved. This list is not considered exhaustive but is intended to give an exemplification of relevant items. However, the detainable deficiencies in the area of STCW 78, listed in 9.3.4.8 of this Annex, are the only grounds for detention under this Convention.
9.3.4.1 General
.1 the lack of valid certificates as required by the relevant instruments. However, ships flying the flag of States not a party to a Convention (relevant instrument) or not having implemented an other relevant instrument, are not entitled to carry the certificates provided for by the Convention or other relevant instrument. Therefore, absence of the required certificates will not by itself constitute reason to detain these ships, however, in applying the ‘no more favourable treatment’ clause, substantial compliance with the provisions must be required before the ship sails.

1.1 Acting upon a report or notification of an alleged violation of the discharge requirements under Annexes I and II to MARPOL 73/78, the port State control officer will be guided by the procedures set out in sections 2 and 3 of this Annex with regard to investigations into alleged contravention of the discharge provisions of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 and in sections 4 and 5 of this Annex with regard to investigations into alleged contravention of the discharge provisions of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78.
1.2 When exercising control on alleged violations of the discharge requirements under Annexes I and II to MARPOL 73/78, the port State control officer will give due regard to the provisions of 3.4.1 to 3.4.13 of IMO Resolution A.787(19), and to the instructions of the port State Administration based on these provisions.
1.3 In the event that his investigation reveals deficiencies which are clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment, the port State control officer will apply the provisions of 3.7.1 of the Memorandum.
Section 2 Contravention of discharge provisions under Annex I to MARPOL 73/78
2.1 The provisions of sections 2 and 3 of this Annex are intended to identify information which is often needed by a flag State Administration for the prosecution of such possible violations.
2.2 It is recommended that in preparing a port State report on deficiencies, where contravention of the discharge requirements is involved, the authorities of the coastal or port State be guided by the itemized list of possible evidence as shown in section 3 of this Annex. It must be borne in mind in this connection that:
.1 the report aims to provide the optimal collation of obtainable data; however, even if all the information cannot be provided, as much information as possible must be submitted;
.2 it is important for all the information included in the report to be supported by facts which, when considered as a whole, would lead the port or coastal State to believe a contravention had occurred.
2.3 In addition to the port State report on deficiencies, a report must be completed by a port or coastal State, on the basis of the itemized list of possible evidence. It is important that these reports are supplemented by documents such as:
.1 a statement by the observer of the pollution. In addition to the information required in 3.1 of this Annex, the statement must include considerations which lead the observer to conclude that none of any other possible pollution sources is in fact the source;
.2 statements concerning the sampling procedures both of the slick and on board. These must include location of and time when samples were taken, identity of person(s) taking the samples and receipts identifying the persons having custody and receiving transfer of the samples;
.3 reports of analyses of samples taken of the slick and on board; the reports must include the results of the analyses, a description of the method employed, reference to or copies of scientific documentation attesting to the accuracy and validity of the method employed and names of persons performing the analyses and their experience;
.4 a statement by the port State control officer on board together with the port State control officer’s rank and organization;
.5 statements by persons being questioned;
.6 statements by witnesses;
.7 photographs of the oil slick;
.8 copies of relevant pages of Oil Record Books, log books, discharge recordings, etc.
All observations, photographs and documentation must be supported by a signed verification of their authenticity. All certifications, authentications or verifications shall be executed in accordance with the laws of the State which prepares them. All statements must be signed and dated by the person making the statement and, if possible, by a witness to the signing. The names of the persons signing statements must be printed in legible script above or below the signature.
2.4 The report referred to in 2.2 and 2.3 of this Annex must be sent to the flag State Administration. If the coastal State observing the pollution and the port State carrying out the investigation on board are not the same, the State carrying out the latter investigation must also send a copy of its findings to the State observing the pollution and requesting the investigation.

INFORMATION SYSTEM ON INSPECTIONS
1 To assist Authorities in their selection of foreign flag ships to be inspected in their ports it is necessary to have at the disposal of Authorities up to date information on inspections of an individual foreign flag ship in one of the other regional ports within the preceding six months.
2 For that purpose the Authorities undertake to provide the ‘Centre Administratif des Affaires Maritimes’ (C.A.A.M.) in Saint Malo, preferably by means of computerized data transmission, with information on ships inspected in the national ports, basing themselves on the information set out in Annex 3 to the Memorandum. The insertion of information into the inspection files will preferably be realized by means of direct, computerized input on a daily basis.
3 For the purpose of exchanging rapid information, the information system will embrace a communication facility which allows for a direct, computerized exchange of messages between individual Authorities, including the notifications as referred to in Section 3.8 of the Memorandum and the exchange of information on operational violations as referred to in section 5 of the Memorandum.
4 The information as in 2 and 3 above will be handled in a standardized form and in accordance with standardized procedures as set out in the guide for users of the information system provided by the C.A.A.M.
5 The C.A.A.M. will organize the processing of information as in paragraph 2 above so as to ensure that inspection data are easily accessible both for purposes of consultation and updating in accordance with procedures as set out in the guide for users of the information system provided by the C.A.A.M.
6 If, in exceptional circumstances the information as in 2 and 3 above cannot be provided by computerized transmission, the information contained in the report of inspection referred to in Annex 3 shall be provided by telefax facilities as an alternative system of exchanging information.
7 Information for administrative purpose, such as statistical information, will be provided by the Secretariat under the guidance of the Committee. This will be based on data provided by the C.A.A.M.
8 The information system indicated in the foregoing paragraphs will be implemented as long as the Memorandum takes effect.
Studies to monitor and, where necessary, to improve the quality of the system will be carried out on a continuous basis.
9 With the consent of the Authority, the C.A.A.M. will, on behalf of that Authority, submit detention reports to the International Maritime Organization in accordance with Regulation I/19 of SOLAS 74, Article 11 of MARPOL 73/78, Article 21 of LOADLINES 66 and Article X of STCW 78.
10 With the consent of the Authority, the C.A.A.M. will, on behalf of that Authority, submit detention reports to the International Labour Organization in accordance with Article 4 of ILO 147.
Annex 5

Razdelek 1 Obveznosti
1.1 Vse oblasti bodo izvajale določbe tega memoranduma in njegovih prilog, ki so sestavni del memoranduma.
1.2 Vse oblasti bodo ohranjale učinkovit sistem nadzora, ki ga opravlja inšpekcija za varnost plovbe, da bi zagotovile, da ne glede na državno pripadnost tuje trgovske ladje, ki obiskujejo pristanišča njihove države ali so izplule iz njih, izpolnjujejo standarde iz ustreznih listin, kot je opredeljeno v razdelku 2. Vse oblasti lahko opravljajo kontrolne preglede na ladjah ob priobalnih infrastrukturnih objektih.
1.3 Vse oblasti bodo dosegle skupno letno število pregledov, ki ustreza 25 % ocenjenega števila posameznih tujih trgovskih ladij, v nadaljnjem besedilu ladje, ki so priplule v pristanišča njihove države v obdobju zadnjih 12 mesecev.
1.4 Vse oblasti se bodo posvetovale, sodelovale in izmenjavale podatke z drugimi oblastmi, da bi tako prispevale k ciljem memoranduma.
Razdelek 2 Ustrezne listine
2.1 Ustrezne listine v tem memorandumu so:
.1 Mednarodna konvencija o tovornih črtah, 1966 (LOAD LINES 66);
.2 Protokol iz leta 1988 k Mednarodni konvenciji o tovornih črtah, 1966 (LL PROT 88);
.3 Mednarodna konvencija o varstvu človeškega življenja na morju, 1974 (SOLAS 74);

.10 Konvencija o minimalnih normativih v trgovski mornarici, 1976 (Konvencija ILO št. 147) (ILO 147).
2.2 V zvezi z ILO 147 bodo vse oblasti uporabljale postopke iz razdelka 7 Priloge 1 za izvajanje publikacije ILO “Nadzor delovnih razmer na ladji: navodila za ravnanje“.
2.3 Vse oblasti bodo uporabljale tiste ustrezne listine, ki so v veljavi in katerih pogodbenica je njihova država. Pri spremembah ustreznih listin bodo vse oblasti uporabljale spremembe, ki so veljavne in jih je sprejela njihova država. Za tako spremenjeno listino se bo štelo, da je ustrezna za te oblasti.
2.4 Pri uporabi ustrezne listine bodo oblasti zagotovile, da ladje države, ki ni njihova pogodbenica, ali ladje, za katere določbe konvencij ne veljajo, ne bodo deležne ugodnejše obravnave. Oblasti bodo pri tem uporabile postopke, opredeljene v razdelku 3 Priloge 1.
Razdelek 3 Postopki pri inšpekcijskem pregledu, odprava pomanjkljivosti in zadržanje ladje
3.1 Pri izpolnjevanju svojih obveznosti bodo oblasti opravljale preglede, ki bodo zajemali obisk na ladji zaradi preverjanja spričeval in listin, navedenih v razdelku 2 Priloge 1. Poleg tega se bodo oblasti prepričale, da sta posadka in celotno stanje ladje, vključno s strojnico in bivalnimi prostori ter higienskimi razmerami, v skladu s splošno sprejetimi mednarodnimi predpisi in standardi. Če veljavnih spričeval ali listin ni ali če obstajajo tehtni razlogi za prepričanje, da stanje ladje ali njene opreme oz. njene posadke v večji meri ne izpolnjuje zahtev v ustrezni listini bo opravljen podrobnejši pregled, kot je navedeno v razdelku 5 Priloge 1, ali po potrebi razširjeni pregled, kot je navedeno v razdelku 8 Priloge 1. Primeri tehtnih razlogov so navedeni v razdelku 4 Priloge 1.
Oblasti bodo v svoje preglede vključile nadzor izpolnjevanja operativnih zahtev na ladji.
3.2 V teh postopkih se nič ne šteje kot omejevanje pravic oblasti, da v okviru svoje pristojnosti sprejemajo ukrepe o vsaki zadevi, na katero se nanašajo ustrezne listine.
3.3 Pri izbiri ladij za pregled bodo oblasti dale prednost ladjam, navedenim v razdelku 1 Priloge 1.
3.4 Oblasti se bodo skušale izogniti pregledu ladij, ki so jih v minulih šestih mesecih pregledale katere koli druge oblasti, razen če bodo imele tehten razlog za pregled. Pogostnost pregledov ne velja za ladje, navedene v razdelku 3.3, pri katerih bodo oblasti opravile pregled, kadar se jim bo to zdelo potrebno.
3.5 Preglede bodo opravljale primerno usposobljene osebe, ki jih bodo v ta namen pooblastile pristojne oblasti in bodo delale na njihovo odgovornost, zlasti ob upoštevanju Priloge 6.
Kadar oblasti zahtevanega strokovnega osebja ne morejo zagotoviti, lahko inšpektorju za varnost plovbe pomaga katera koli oseba s potrebnim strokovnim znanjem. Inšpektorji za varnost plovbe in osebe, ki jim pomagajo, ne smejo imeti nobenega komercialnega interesa v pristanišču, v katerem opravljajo pregled, ali na pregledanih ladjah, inšpektorjev za varnost plovbe pa ne smejo zaposlovati oziroma ti ne smejo prevzeti dela za nevladne organizacije, ki izdajajo z zakonom predpisana spričevala in klasifikacijska spričevala ali opravljajo preglede, potrebne za izdajanje teh spričeval ladjam.
Vsak inšpektor za varnost plovbe mora imeti pri sebi osebno listino v obliki izkaznice, ki so jo izdale njegove oblasti v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo, in ki navaja, da je inšpektor pooblaščen opravljati inšpekcijske preglede.
3.6.1 Vse oblasti si bodo prizadevale zagotoviti, da bodo odpravljene vse ugotovljene pomanjkljivosti. Če bo storjeno vse potrebno za odpravo vseh pomanjkljivosti, razen tistih, naštetih v 3.7.1, bo ladja smela nadaljevati pot do pristanišča, v katerem je mogoče odpraviti tovrstne pomanjkljivosti.
3.6.2 V izjemnih okoliščinah, ko je po prvem pregledu in podrobnejšem inšpekcijskem pregledu ugotovljeno, da je splošno stanje ladje in njene opreme, pri čemer se upoštevajo tudi posadka in njene življenjske in delovne razmere, pod predpisanimi standardi, lahko oblasti začasno prekinejo inšpekcijski pregled.
Začasna prekinitev inšpekcijskega pregleda lahko traja, dokler odgovorne strani ne sprejmejo potrebnih ukrepov, da bi zagotovile, da ladja izpolnjuje zahteve v ustreznih listinah.
Pred začasno prekinitvijo pregleda morajo oblasti ustrezno navesti pomanjkljivosti na področjih iz 9.3.3 in 9.3.4 Priloge 1, zaradi katerih se ladja lahko zadrži.
Kadar je ladja zadržana in je inšpekcijski pregled začasno prekinjen, morajo oblasti čim prej obvestiti odgovorne strani. Uradno obvestilo naj vključuje podatke o zadržanju ladje. Poleg tega naj navaja, da je inšpekcijski pregled začasno prekinjen, dokler oblasti niso obveščene, da ladja izpolnjuje ustrezne zahteve.
3.7.1 Pri pomanjkljivostih, ki očitno ogrožajo varnost, zdravje ali okolje, bodo oblasti, razen v primerih iz 3.8, zagotovile, da bo nevarnost odpravljena, preden bo ladja smela odpluti na morje. V ta namen bodo oblasti ustrezno ukrepale, kar lahko vključuje zadržanje ladje ali formalno prepoved ladji, da nadaljuje plovbo zaradi ugotovljenih pomanjkljivosti, ki bi vsaka zase ali skupaj povzročile, da bi bilo nadaljevanje plovbe nevarno.
3.7.2 Kadar je ladja zadržana, oblasti nemudoma pisno obvestijo upravo države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, kar vključuje poročilo o inšpekcijskem pregledu, navedeno v Prilogi 3. Kadar je primerno, bo obveščena tudi pooblaščena organizacija, ki je izdala ustrezna spričevala v imenu uprave države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja. Omenjeni strani bosta prav tako pisno obveščeni o odpravi zadržanja.
3.7.3 Kadar je vzrok za zadržanje ladje posledica naključne poškodbe, ki jo je utrpela ladja na svojem potovanju do pristanišča, se nalog za zadržanje ne izda, če:
.1 so ustrezno upoštevane zahteve, vsebovane v Predpisu I/11(c) SOLAS 74 glede obvestila upravi države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, imenovanemu inšpektorju klasifikacijskega zavoda ali pooblaščeni organizaciji, odgovorni za izdajanje ustreznih spričeval;
.2 pred vstopom v pristanišče poveljnik ali ladjar predloži inšpekciji za varnost plovbe podrobne podatke o okoliščinah, v katerih se je pripetila nesreča, ter o pretrpeli škodi kot tudi podatke o zahtevanem uradnem obvestilu upravi države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja;
.3 ladja sprejme ustrezen ukrep za odpravo pomanjkljivosti, s katerim zadovolji oblasti, in
.4 oblasti potrdijo, potem ko so bile uradno obveščene o odpravi pomanjkljivosti, da so bile odpravljene pomanjkljivosti, ki so očitno ogrožale varnost, zdravje ali okolje.
3.7.4 Če ni spričeval ISM, se uporablja ta postopek:
1. Kadar inšpekcijski pregled pokaže, da na ladji, za katero velja Kodeks ISM, med inšpekcijskim pregledom manjka izvod Listine o skladnosti ali Spričevala o varnem upravljanju ladje, izdanem v skladu z Mednarodnim kodeksom ravnanja za varno upravljanje ladij in za preprečevanje onesnaževanja (Kodeks ISM), oblasti poskrbijo za zadržanje ladje.
2. Ne glede na manjkajočo dokumentacijo, navedeno v 3.7.4.1, pa lahko oblasti, če se med inšpekcijskim pregledom ne ugotovijo nobene druge pomanjkljivosti, zaradi katerih bi bilo zadržanje ladje upravičeno, razveljavijo nalog o zadržanju ladje, da bi preprečile prezasedenost pristanišča. Kadar je sprejeta taka odločitev, morajo oblasti o tem nemudoma obvestiti vse druge oblasti.
3. Oblasti bodo sprejele potrebne ukrepe, s katerimi bodo zagotovile, da bodo vsem ladjam, ki imajo dovoljenje, da zapustijo pristanišče svoje države v okoliščinah, navedenih v 3.7.4.2, prepovedale vstop v katero koli pristanišče v državah, katerih oblasti so podpisnice tega memoranduma, razen v primerih, navedenih v 3.9.3, dokler lastnik ali ladjar ladje ne prepriča oblasti, v državi katerih je bilo ukazano zadržanje, da ima ladja veljavna spričevala, izdana v skladu s Kodeksom ISM.
3.8 Kadar pomanjkljivosti, zaradi katerih je bila ladja zadržana, po 3.7.1 ni mogoče odpraviti v pristanišču, v katerem je bil opravljen inšpekcijski pregled, lahko oblasti dovolijo ladji, da nadaljuje pot do najbližje primerne ladjedelnice, ki jo izberejo poveljnik in oblasti, če so izpolnjeni pogoji, ki jih predpiše pristojni organ države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, in s katerimi se oblasti strinjajo. Ti pogoji, ki lahko vključujejo raztovarjanje in/ali začasna popravila bodo zagotovili, da lahko ladja nadaljuje pot, ne da bi ogrožala varnost in zdravje potnikov ali posadke ali pomenila nevarnost za druge ladje ali nepotrebno grožnjo glede škode za morsko okolje.
V takih okoliščinah bodo oblasti obvestile pristojni organ območne države, v kateri je namembno pristanišče ladje, strani iz 3.7.2 in po potrebi tudi druge oblasti. Oblasti bodo uradno obveščene v skladu s Prilogo 2. Oblasti, ki bodo prejele tako obvestilo, bodo o sprejetih ukrepih obvestile oblasti, od katerih so prejele obvestilo.
3.9.1. Oblasti bodo sprejele ukrepe, s katerimi bodo zagotovile, da bo:
1. ladjam iz 3.7.1 ali 3.8, ki bodo odplule na morje, ne da bi izpolnjevale pogoje, ki so jih predpisale oblasti v pristanišču, v katerem je bil opravljen pregled, ali
2. ladjam iz 3.8, ki nočejo izpolniti veljavnih zahtev v ustreznih listinah, s tem ko ne obiščejo navedene ladjedelnice,
prepovedan vstop v katero koli pristanišče v državah, katerih oblasti so podpisnice tega memoranduma, dokler lastnik ali ladjar ne predloži dokazov, s katerimi prepriča oblasti, ki so ugotovile okvaro ladje, da ta v celoti izpolnjuje vse veljavne zahteve v ustreznih listinah.
3.9.2 V okoliščinah iz 3.9.1.1 bodo oblasti, ki so ugotovile pomanjkljivost ladje, nemudoma obvestile preostale oblasti.
V okoliščinah iz 3.9.1.2 bodo oblasti, v katerih državi je ladjedelnica, nemudoma obvestile preostale oblasti.
Preden oblasti prepovejo ladji vstop, lahko zaprosijo za posvetovanje z upravo države, pod katere zastavo pluje ta ladja.
3.9.3 Ne glede na določbe v 3.9.1 lahko ustrezni organ dovoli vstop ladje v določeno pristanišče te pristaniške države zaradi višje sile ali zelo pomembnih varnostnih razlogov ali zmanjšanja ali minimiziranja nevarnosti onesnaženja ali odprave pomanjkljivosti, če lastnik, ladjar ali poveljnik ladje izvede ustrezne ukrepe za zagotovitev varnega vstopa, ki zadovoljijo pristojni organ te države.
3.10 Določbe iz 3.7.2 in 3.8 ne vplivajo na zahteve v ustreznih listinah ali postopkih, ki jih določijo mednarodne organizacije v zvezi s postopki obveščanja in poročanja, ki se nanašajo na inšpekcijo za varnost plovbe.
3.11 Oblasti bodo zagotovile, da bo poveljnik ladje po opravljenem inšpekcijskem pregledu dobil listino v obliki, opredeljeni v Prilogi 3, ki bo navajal rezultate pregleda in podrobnosti o vseh sprejetih ukrepih.
3.12 Če bo pregled iz 3.1 potrdil ali odkril pomanjkljivosti v zvezi z zahtevami iz ustrezne listine, ki utemeljujejo zadržanje ladje, bo lastnik ladje ali ladjar ali njegov predstavnik v pristaniški državi kril vse stroške v zvezi s pregledi v predpisanem obdobju.
Vsi stroški v zvezi s pregledi, ki jih opravljajo oblasti v skladu z določbami 3.9.1, se bodo zaračunavali lastniku ali ladjarju.
Zadržanje ladje ne bo odpravljeno, dokler ne bo izvršeno celotno plačilo ali dano zadostno jamstvo za povračilo stroškov.
3.13 Lastnik ladje ali ladjar ali njegov predstavnik v določeni državi imata pravico do pritožbe proti odločitvi o zadržanju ladje, ki so jo sprejele oblasti te države. Pritožba ne povzroči odprave zadržanja ladje. Oblasti ustrezno obvestijo poveljnika ladje o pravici do pritožbe.
3.14 Vse oblasti bodo objavljale vsaj četrtletne podatke o zadržanih ladjah v predhodnem 3-mesečnem obdobju in o tistih, ki so bile zadržane več kot enkrat v preteklih 24 mesecih. Objavljeni podatki bodo vključevali:
.1 ime ladje;
.2 ime lastnika ladje ali ladjarja;
.3 številko IMO;
.4 državo ladijske zastave;
.5 klasifikacijski zavod, kadar je primerno in če je možno katero koli pogodbenico, ki je izdala spričevala takšni ladji v skladu z ustreznimi listinami;
.6 vzrok zadržanja;
.7 pristanišče in datum zadržanja.
3.15 Pri opravljanju nadzora v skladu z memorandumom se bodo oblasti po najboljših močeh trudile, da bi se izognile nepotrebnemu zadržanju ali zamudi ladje. V memorandumu nič ne vpliva na pravice, ki jih zagotavljajo določbe ustreznih listin in se nanašajo na nadomestila za neupravičeno zadržanje ali zamudo ladje. V vseh primerih domnevnega neupravičenega zadržanja ali zamude lastnik ladje ali ladjar priskrbi dokaze o tem.
Razdelek 4 Zagotavljanje informacij
Vse oblasti bodo o svojih pregledih po memorandumu in o njihovih rezultatih poročale v skladu s postopki, opredeljenimi v Prilogi 4.
Razdelek 5 Operativne kršitve
Oblasti si bodo na zahtevo druge oblasti prizadevale, da bi zagotovile dokaze za potrditev suma kršitev zahtev glede operativnih zadev v 10. pravilu COLREG 72 in MARPOL 73/78. Ob sumu kršitev, pri katerih gre za izpuščanje škodljivih snovi, bodo oblasti na zahtevo drugih oblasti v pristanišču obiskale ladjo, osumljeno take kršitve, da dobi informacije in po potrebi odvzame vzorec domnevne onesnažujoče snovi. Postopki za preverjanje kršitev določb o izpustu so našteti v Prilogi 1A.
Razdelek 6 Organizacija

Razdelek 3 Izključitev ugodnejše obravnave
3.1 Ladje držav, ki niso pogodbenice
Na ladjah, ki lahko plujejo pod zastavo države, ki ni pogodbenica ustrezne listine in zato nimajo spričeval, ki pomenijo prima facie dokazilo o zadovoljivih razmerah na ladji, ali katerih posadka nima veljavnih spričeval STCW, je treba opraviti podrobnejši, ali kadar je primerno, razširjeni pregled. Pri opravljanju takega pregleda bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe ravnal po enakih postopkih, kot so predvideni za ladje, za katere veljajo ustrezni listine.
Če ima ladja ali posadka kako drugo obliko spričeval, lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe pri tem pregledu upošteva obliko in vsebino teh listin. Razmere na taki ladji, njena oprema ter spričevala o usposobljenosti posadke in standard o najmanjšem potrebnem številu članov posadke države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, morajo ustrezati določbam v ustrezni listini, v naprotnem primeru je treba zoper ladjo uvesti omejitve, ki so potrebne za doseganje primerljive ravni varnosti in zaščite morskega okolja.
3.2 Ladje, za katere določbe konvencij ne veljajo
3.2.1 Če se ustrezna listina ne more uporabiti za ladjo, za katero določbe konvencij ne veljajo, je naloga inšpektorja za varnost plovbe, da presodi, ali je ladja v sprejemljivem stanju glede varnosti, zdravja ali okolja. Pri tej presoji naj inšpektor upošteva takšne dejavnike, kot so dolžina in vrsta predvidene plovbe ali storitve, velikost in vrsta ladje, njena opremljenost in vrsta tovora.
3.2.2 Pri opravljanju svojih nalog mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe upoštevati vsa spričevala in druge listine, ki jih je izdala uprava države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, ali so bili izdani v njenem imenu. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo glede na taka spričevala in listine ter glede na svoj splošni vtis o ladji uporabil svojo strokovno presojo za odločitev o tem, ali in v katerih pogledih bo ladjo podrobneje pregledal. Med opravljanjem podrobnejšega pregleda mora biti inšpektor v potrebni meri pozoren na postavke, naštete v 3.2.3 te priloge. Seznam naj ne velja za izčrpen seznam, temveč naj se uporablja le kot vzorec ustreznih postavk.
3.2.3 Točke splošnega pomena
3.2.3.1 Točke, ki se nanašajo na pogoje o dodelitvi tovornih črt:
.1 proti vremenu odporna (ali neprepustna za vodo, odvisno od primera) neoporečnost vseh izpostavljenih krovov;
.2 skladiščne odprtine in zapiralne naprave;
.3 proti vremenu odporni pokrovi odprtin na nadgradnjah;
.4 naprave za reševanje;

.4 glavna strojna oprema in električna napeljava;
.5 navigacijska oprema, vključno z radijskimi napravami.
3.2.3.3 Točke v zvezi s preprečevanjem onesnaževanja z ladij:
.1 naprave za nadzor izpuščanja olj in oljnih zmesi, npr. oprema za ločevanje ali filtriranje vode, onesnažene z olji, ali druga enakovredna sredstva (rezervoarji za shranjevanje olj, oljnih zmesi, ostankov olj);
.2 sredstva za odstranjevanje nafte, naftnih mešanic ali ostankov nafte;
.3 prisotnost nafte v kalužah strojnice.
.4 naprave za zbiranje, shranjevanje in odstranjevanje odpadkov.
3.2.4 Pri pomanjkljivostih, za katere velja, da ogrožajo varnost, zdravje ali okolje, mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe ob upoštevanju dejavnikov iz odstavka 3.2.1 v tej prilogi po potrebi sprejeti take ukrepe, vključno z zadržanjem ladje, s katerimi zagotovi, da se pomanjkljivost odpravi ali da ladja, če sme nadaljevati plovbo do drugega pristanišča, ne pomeni očitnega tveganja za varnost, zdravje ali okolje.
Razdelek 4 “Utemeljeni razlogi“ za podrobnejši ali razširjeni pregled
4.1 Pri uporabi odstavka 3.1 memoranduma “utemeljeni razlogi“, ki upravičujejo podrobnejši ali razširjeni pregled, vključujejo:
1. ugotovljeno je bilo, da je na ladji treba opraviti prednostni inšpekcijski pregled glede na razdelek 1.1 ter razdelke 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5b, 1.2.5c, 1.2.8 ter 1.2.11 te priloge;
2. pri pregledu spričeval in listin iz razdelka 2 te priloge so bile ugotovljene netočnosti ali pa listine niso bile pravilno shranjene ali dopolnjene;
3. znake, da se pomembni člani posadke niso sposobni ustrezno sporazumevati med seboj ali z drugimi osebami na ladji ali da se ladja ne more sporazumevati z organi na kopnem v skupnem jeziku ali v jeziku teh organov;
4. dokaze o tem, da se postopki s tovorom in drugi postopki ne izvajajo varno ali v skladu s smernicami IMO;
5. nezmožnost poveljnika tankerja, da bi dal poročilo o sistemu za spremljanje in nadzor izpusta olj za zadnjo vožnjo z balastom;
6. odsotnost dopolnjenega seznama razporeditve ob alarmu ali če člani posadke ne poznajo svojih nalog ob požaru ali nalogu za zapustitev ladje;
7. oddajanje lažnih alarmov za nevarnost, ki jim ne sledijo ustrezni postopki preklica;
8. odsotnost glavne opreme ali naprav, ki se zahtevajo v konvencijah;
9. dokaze iz splošnih vtisov in opažanj inšpektorja za varnost plovbe, da obstaja večja okvara trupa ali konstrukcije ladje ali pomanjkljivosti, ki lahko ogrozijo zgradbo ladje, njeno neprepustnost za vodo ali odpornost proti vremenskim vplivom;
10. zelo nehigienske razmere na ladji;
11. informacije ali dokaze, da poveljnik ladje ali posadka ne pozna osnovnih postopkov na ladji glede varnosti ladij ali preprečevanja onesnaževanja ali da se taki postopki ne izvajajo.
Razdelek 5 Podrobnejši inšpekcijski pregled
5.1 Splošno
5.1.1 Če ni veljavnih spričeval ali listin ali po ugotovitvi utemeljenih razlogov bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe:
.1 opravil podrobnejši pregled na področjih, na katerih so bili ugotovljeni utemeljeni razlogi;
.2 opravil podrobnejši pregled na drugih naključno izbranih področjih in
.3 vključil nadaljnje preverjanje izpolnjevanja operativnih zahtev na ladji.
5.1.2 Pri opravljanju podrobnejšega pregleda bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe upošteval:
.1 določbe tega razdelka;
.2 določbe v Mednarodnem pomorskem kodeksu o nevarnem blagu;
.3 določbe v razdelkih 6 in 7 te priloge, kar je primerno.
Kadar obstajajo utemeljeni razlogi za podrobnejši pregled ladje, ki spada v kategorije, naštete v razdelku 8 te priloge, bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe poskrbel za razširjeni pregled.
5.2 Postopki za inšpekcijski pregled konstrukcije in opreme ladje
Konstrukcija
5.2.1 Vtis inšpektorja za varnost plovbe o vzdrževanju ladijskega trupa ter o splošnem stanju na ladji, o stanju predmetov, kot so lestve, varovalne ograje, pokrovi cevi in območja korozije ali luknjičavost, vplivajo na njegovo odločitev o tem, ali je treba opraviti kar se da popoln pregled konstrukcije plavajoče ladje. Velika območja poškodb ali korozije ali luknjičavost pločevine in s tem povezana togost krovov in ladijskega trupa, ki vpliva na plovnost ladje ali čvrstost za prevzem lokalnih tovorov, lahko upravičijo zadržanje. Pregleda se lahko tudi podvodni del ladje. Pri sprejemanju odločitve bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe upošteval plovnost, ne pa starost ladje, pri čemer bo dopustil normalno obrabo v najmanjših sprejemljivih debelinah. Poškodbe, ki ne vplivajo na plovnost, niso razlog za presojo o tem, ali bi bilo treba ladjo zadržati, kot tudi ne poškodbe, ki so bile začasno, a uspešno odpravljene za plovbo do pristanišča, v katerem jih bodo trajno popravili. Pri presoji vpliva poškodbe bo inšpektor upošteval mesto bivalnih prostorov za posadko in dejstvo, ali poškodba v večji meri vpliva na njihovo primernost.
5.2.2 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo posvetil posebno pozornost neoporečnosti konstrukcije ter plovnosti ladij za razsuti tovor in tankerjev (Resolucija IMO A.744(18)).
5.2.3 Presoja inšpektorja za varnost plovbe o varnosti konstrukcije teh ladij temelji na poročilih kontrolorjev o nadzoru, opravljenem na ladji. Ta dokumentacija mora vsebovati poročila o pregledih konstrukcije, poročila o oceni stanja (prevedena v angleščino in ki jih je potrdila uprava države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja), poročila o meritvah debeline in listina o načrtovanju pregledov.
5.2.4 Če je treba zaradi dokumentacije o meritvah natančneje pregledati konstrukcijo ladje ali če takega poročila ni na ladji, bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe, če je potrebno, še posebej pozoren na konstrukcijo ladijskega trupa, sisteme cevi na poti v tovorne tanke ali prostore za tovor, prostore s črpalkami, pregrade, cevne jaške, neizkoriščene prostore v tovornem prostoru in balastne tanke.
5.2.5 Pri ladjah, ki prevažajo razsuti tovor, bodo inšpektorji za varnost plovbe pregledali glavno konstrukcijo tovornih prostorov, da bi odkrili vsa očitno nedovoljena popravila.
Kadar je primerno, bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe za ladje, ki prevažajo razsuti tovor, preveril, ali je bila knjiga za prevoz razsutega tovora potrjena, ali so bile zapisane v njej vse omejitve glede prevoza trdnih tovorov v razsutem stanju, ali je trikotnik ladje, ki prevaža razsuti tovor, stalno označen, in ali so nameščeni alarmi, ki opozarjajo na višino vode v tovornih prostorih.
Strojnice
5.2.6 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo ocenil stanje strojne opreme in električnih napeljav, ki lahko dajo dovolj neprekinjene energije za pogon in pomožne storitve.
5.2.7 Med pregledom strojnic dobi inšpektor za varnost plovbe vtis o stanju vzdrževanja. Obrabljene ali potrgane žice ventilov za hitro zapiranje, pretrgano ali nedelujoče daljinsko kontrolno upravljanje ali strojne naprave za potovanje, manjkajoča ročna kolesca ventilov, znaki dolgotrajnega uhajanja pare, vode in olja, umazani pokrovi tankov in kaluž ali večja korozija temeljev strojne opreme kažejo na nezadovoljivo organizacijo vzdrževanja sistemov. Veliko začasnih popravil, vključno s cevnimi spojkami ali zaboji za cement, kažejo odpor do trajnih popravil.
5.2.8 Čeprav ni mogoče ugotoviti stanja strojne opreme brez preskusov zmogljivosti, pa splošne pomanjkljivosti, kot so prepuščanje tesnil črpalk, umazana stekla merilnikov višine vode, pokvarjeni merilniki tlaka, zarjaveli varnostni ventili, nedelujoče ali izklopljene varnostne ali kontrolne naprave, znaki ponovljenega delovanja jermena za izpiranje diesel motorja ali varnostnih ventilov okrova motorne gredi, nepravilno delovanje ali okvara avtomatske opreme in alarmnih sistemov in puščajoča ohišja ali dovodne cevi grelcev za kotlovno vodo opozorijo na pregled strojnega dnevnika in podrobnejši pregled zapisnika o okvarah strojev in nezgodah ter na zahtevo po preskusih delovanja strojev.
5.2.9 Če en električni generator ne dela, mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe ugotoviti, ali je na voljo električno napajanje za zagotavljanje nujno potrebnih storitev in dežurnih služb, in opraviti preskuse.
5.2.10 Če so znaki zanemarjenosti očitni, mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe razširiti obseg pregleda in vključiti na primer preskuse glavnih in pomožnih krmilnih naprav, regulatorjev pobega, prekinjal električnega toka itd.
5.2.11 Poudariti je treba, da odkritje ene ali več gornjih pomanjkljivosti nakazuje stanje, ki ne ustreza standardom. Stvar strokovne presoje v vsakem posameznem primeru pa je dejanska kombinacija pomanjkljivosti.
Pogoji za dodelitev tovornih črt
5.2.12 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko sklene, da pregled ladijskega trupa ni potreben, vendar pa bo zaradi nezadovoljstva na podlagi opažanj na ladji zaradi stvari, kot so pokvarjene zapiralne naprave na skladiščnih odprtinah, zarjaveli zračniki in odprtine oddušnikov, podrobno proučil pogoje za dodelitev tovornih črt, pri čemer bo posvetil posebno pozornost zapiralnim napravam, napravam za izpuščanje vode s krova in napravam, ki se uporabljajo za zaščito posadke.
Reševalne naprave
5.2.13 Učinkovitost reševalnih naprav je zelo odvisna od tega, ali jih posadka dobro vzdržuje, in od njihove uporabe med rednimi vajami. Pomemben dejavnik pri stopnji obrabe opreme je lahko pretečeni čas od zadnjega inšpekcijskega pregleda za spričevalo o varnostni opremi, če člani posadke opreme redno ne pregledujejo. Poleg tega, da na ladji ni opreme, ki se zahteva s konvencijo, ali da so očitne take pomanjkljivosti, kot so preluknjani rešilni čolni, pa inšpektor za varnost plovbe išče znake neuporabe ali ovir za uporabo opreme za spuščanje reševalnih čolnov, ki lahko vključujejo kopičenje barve, zaskok zglobov, pomanjkljivo podmazovanje, stanje škripčevja in jeklenih vrvi ter neprimerno privezovanje ali skladiščenje krovnega tovora.
5.2.14 Če so taki znaki vidni, je inšpektor za varnost plovbe upravičen, da opravi podroben pregled vseh reševalnih naprav. Tak pregled lahko zajema spuščanje rešilnih čolnov, pregled oskrbe rešilnih čolnov in katerega koli nameščenega sistema za evakuacijo na morju, pregled naprav za dviganje preživelih (na ladjo), število in stanje rešilnih jopičev in rešilnih pasov in ugotovitev, da pirotehničnim sredstvom še ni potekel čas veljavnosti. Običajno tak pregled ni tako podroben, kot je pregled za podaljšanje spričevala o varnostni opremi in se osredotoča na bistvene elemente za varno zapustitev ladje, v skrajnem primeru pa se lahko konča tudi s popolnim pregledom, kot se zahteva za spričevalo o varnostni opremi. Pri pregledu so pomembni tudi obstoj in delovanje učinkovite razsvetljave na bokih ladje, naprave za alarmiranje posadke in potnikov in zagotovitev osvetljenih poti do zbirnih mest in mest za vkrcavanje.
Požarna varnost
5.2.15 Slabo stanje požarnih cevi in cevi za pranje palube ter hidrantov in morebitna odsotnost gasilnih cevi in aparatov za gašenje požarov v bivalnih prostorih lahko usmeri inšpektorja k podrobnemu pregledu celotne požarne varnostne opreme. Poleg izpolnjevanja zahtev iz konvencije pa inšpektor za varnost plovbe išče znake večjega tveganja od običajnega; to je lahko posledica slabega stanja čistoče v strojnici, ki bi lahko skupaj z večjimi pomanjkljivostmi pri stacionarni ali prenosni opremi za gašenje požarov privedlo do presoje, da ladja ne ustreza standardom.
5.2.16 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo pregledal požarni načrt na ladji, da bi si ustvaril splošno sliko o varnostnih ukrepih v zvezi z gašenjem požarov na ladji, in proučil njihovo usklajenost z zahtevami iz konvencije za leto gradnje. Vprašanja o načinu zaščite konstrukcije je treba nasloviti na upravo države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, inšpektor za varnost plovbe pa navadno omeji svoj pregled na delovanje razpoložljivih naprav.
5.2.17 Požar se lahko hitreje širi, če požarna vrata ne delujejo pravilno. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo v zvezi z delovanjem in napravami za zapiranje pregledal vrata v glavnih pregradnih stenah in zaprtih delih stopnišč ter znotraj požarno zelo ogroženih prostorov, kot so glavne strojnice in kuhinje, pri čemer bo posvetil posebno pozornost tistim, ki ostajajo odprta. Pozornost bo posvetil tudi glavnim navpičnim predelom, ki so bili morda ogroženi zaradi graditve. Dodatna nevarnost ob požaru je širjenje dima skozi prezračevalne sisteme. Na kraju samem se lahko pregledajo dušilniki ognja in dimne lopute, da se ugotovi njihovo delovanje. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe se bo prav tako prepričal, ali je možno izklopiti ventilatorje z glavnimi krmilnimi napravami in ali so na voljo sredstva za zapiranje glavnih vhodnih in izhodnih odprtin prezračevalnih sistemov.
5.2.18 Pozornost je treba posvetiti prehodnosti poti reševanja, tako da se zagotovi, da pomembna vrata niso zaklenjena in da so prehodi in stopnišča prehodni.
Predpisi za preprečevanje trčenj na morju
5.2.19 Zelo pomemben vidik za zagotavljanje varnosti življenja na morju je izpolnjevanje vseh predpisov glede trčenj. Na podlagi opažanj na ladji inšpektor za varnost plovbe pretehta potrebo po podrobnem pregledu svetilk in njihovih zaslonk ter sredstev za oddajanje zvočnih in opozorilnih signalov za nevarnost.
Spričevalo o varni konstrukciji ladje
5.2.20 Splošno stanje ladje lahko privede inšpektorja do tega, da upošteva druge stvari, poleg tistih, ki se nanašajo na varnostno opremo in dodelitev tovornih črt, ki pa so kljub temu povezane z varnostjo ladje, kot so učinkovito delovanje predmetov, povezanih s spričevalom o varni konstrukciji ladje, ki lahko vključujejo črpalne naprave, naprave za prekinitev dovoda zraka in olj v primeru požara, alarmne naprave in električno napajanje v izrednih razmerah.
Spričevala o varnosti radijskih postaj na tovorni ladji
5.2.21 Veljavnost spričeval o varnosti radijskih postaj na tovorni ladji in pripadajoči zapisnik o opremi (obrazec R) se lahko sprejmeta kot dokaz o razpoložljivosti in učinkovitosti pripadajoče opreme, vendar pa se mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe prepričati o tem, ali je za njeno delovanje in čase poslušanja na ladji ustrezno usposobljeno osebje. Zahteve za vzdrževanje radijske opreme so v Predpisu IV/15 SOLAS 74. Pregleda se radijski dnevnik ali radijski zapisi. Po potrebi se lahko preveri tudi delovanje.
Presežna oprema glede na zahteve konvencije ali države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja
5.2.22 Oprema na ladji, za katero se pričakuje, da se bo uporabljala v okoliščinah, ki vplivajo na varnost ali preprečujejo onesnaževanje, mora pravilno delovati. Če ta oprema ne deluje in je presežek poleg opreme, ki se zahteva v ustrezni konvenciji in/ali državi, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, jo je treba popraviti, odstraniti ali, če odstranitev ni možna, jasno označiti, da ne deluje in jo zavarovati.
5.3 Pranje tankov s surovo nafto
5.3.1 Pregled postopkov pranja tankov s surovo nafto
Inšpektor za varnost plovbe se prepriča, da se tanki perejo s surovo nafto na vseh ladjah za prevoz surove nafte, za katere se zahteva, da imajo sistem za pranje s surovo nafto, ali za katere se lastnik ali ladjar odloči, da bo nanje namestil sistem za pranje s surovo nafto, da bi izpolnil zahteve v Predpisu 13 Priloge I k MARPOL 73/78. Poleg tega pa je izpolnjevanje zahtev zagotovljeno tudi z operativnimi zahtevami, določenimi v spremenjenih Specifikacijah o zasnovi, delovanju in nadzoru sistemov za pranje tankov s surovo nafto (Resolucija IMO A.446(XI), spremenjena z Resolucijo IMO A.497 (XII)). To je najbolje opraviti v pristaniščih, v katerih se raztovarja tovor.
5.3.2 Postopki za inšpekcijski pregled postopkov za pranje s surovo nafto v pristanišču
Inšpekcijski pregledi
5.3.2.1 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo ukrenil vse potrebno, da zagotovi izpolnjevanje zahtev v zvezi s pranjem tankov s surovo nafto na tankerjih. Tega pa ne gre razlagati kot razbremenitev obveznosti upravljavcev terminalov in ladjarjev, ki morajo poskrbeti za izvajanje postopka v skladu s predpisi.
5.3.2.2 Inšpekcijski pregled lahko vključuje celoten postopek pranja tankov s surovo nafto ali samo nekatere njegove vidike. V interesu vseh pa je, da se vedno ohranjajo ladijski zapisi o postopkih pranja tankov s surovo nafto, tako da lahko inšpektor preveri opravljene postopke pred pregledom.
Ladijsko osebje
5.3.2.3 Znane morajo biti odgovorna oseba in vse druge osebe, odgovorne za pranje tankov s surovo nafto. Na zahtevo, morajo pokazati, da so njihovo znanje in izkušnje v skladu z zahtevami, kadar je to primerno, iz 5.2 in 5.3 spremenjenih Specifikacij o zasnovi, delovanju in nadzoru sistemov za pranje tankov s surovo nafto (Resolucija IMO A.446(XI), spremenjena z Resolucijo IMO A.497(XII)).
5.3.2.4 Preverjanje je mogoče dokončati s pregledom listin o izpolnjevanju nalog posameznika, priporočil, ki jih je izdal ladjar, ali spričeval, ki jih je izdal učni center, ki ga je potrdila uprava. Število teh oseb mora biti vsaj tolikšno, kot je navedeno v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi za pranje tankov s surovo nafto (COW).
Listine
5.3.2.5 Pri inšpekcijskem pregledu morajo biti na voljo te listine:
.1 mednarodno spričevalo o preprečevanju onesnaževanja morja (IOPP) ter zapisnik o gradnji in opremi, da bi ugotovili:
.1 ali je ladja opremljena s sistemom za pranje tankov s surovo nafto, kot se zahteva v Predpisu 13 (6) ali (8) Priloge I k MARPOL 73/78;
.2 ali je sistem za pranje tankov s surovo nafto v skladu z zahtevami Predpisa 13 (B) Priloge I k MARPOL 73/78 in izpolnjuje te zahteve;
.3 čas veljavnosti in datum Priročnika o postopkih in opremi COW in
.4 veljavnost spričevala.
.2 odobreni Priročnik o postopkih in opremi COW;
.3 knjiga o oljih in
.4 spričevalo o varnostni opremi tovorne ladje, ki potrjuje, da sistem inertnega plina ustreza predpisom, vsebovanim v poglavju II-2 SOLAS 74, kot je bilo spremenjeno.
Sistem inertnega plina
5.3.2.6 Predpisi o sistemu inertnega plina zahtevajo, da so vgrajeni inštrumenti za stalen prikaz in zapis tlaka in vsebnosti kisika v glavnem dovodu inertnega plina, kadar se ta dovaja. Odčitavanje stalnega zapisovalnika mora pokazati, ali je sistem zadovoljivo deloval že pred razkladanjem tovora in med njim.
5.3.2.7 Če niso izpolnjeni pogoji, navedeni v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW, je treba prekiniti pranje, dokler niso spet izpolnjeni zadovoljivi pogoji.
5.3.2.8 Kot naslednji previdnostni ukrep je treba ugotoviti koncentracijo kisika v vsakem tanku, ki ga je treba oprati. Uporabljeni merilniki morajo biti umerjeni in pregledani za zagotovitev njihovega dobrega delovanja. Za preverjanje morajo biti na voljo odčitki stanja tankov, ki so jih v pristanišču že oprali pred pregledom. Uvede se lahko naključno preverjanje odčitkov.
Nastanek statične elektrike
5.3.2.9 Iz knjige tovora ali iz zastavljenih vprašanj odgovorni osebi se potrdi, da je prisotnost vode v surovi nafti zmanjšana na najmanjšo možno mero, kot se zahteva v razdelku 6.7 spremenjenih specifikacij (Resolucija IMO A.446(XI), spremenjena z Resolucijo IMO A.497 (XII)).
Sporazumevanje
5.3.2.10 Ugotoviti je treba, ali obstajajo učinkoviti načini za sporazumevanje med odgovorno osebo in drugimi osebami, ki se ukvarjajo s pranjem tankov s surovo nafto.
Iztekanje na krovu
5.3.2.11 Inšpektorji za varnost plovbe se prepričajo, ali je bilo preskušeno delovanje sistema cevi za pranje tankov s surovo nafto glede iztekanja pred razkladanjem tovora in ali so bili rezultati preskusa vpisani v knjigo o oljih.
Izločitev olja iz strojnice
5.3.2.12 S pregledom izolacijskih naprav grelca za pranje tanka (če je ta nameščen) ali katerega koli dela sistema za pranje tanka, ki vstopa v strojnico, je treba ugotoviti, ali se ohranja postopek izločitve tovornega olja iz strojnice
Ustreznost surove nafte
5.3.2.13 Pri presoji ustreznosti nafte za pranje tankov s surovo nafto je treba upoštevati navodila in merila, vsebovana v razdelku 9 Priročnika o postopkih in opremi COW.
Kontrolni seznam
5.3.2.14 Iz ladijskih zapisov se ugotovi, ali je bil izveden operativni kontrolni seznam predpranja s surovo nafto in ali so vsi inštrumenti pravilno delovali. Uvesti je mogoče naključne preglede nekaterih postavk.
Programi pranja
5.3.2.15 Kadar tanker raztovarjajo v različnih pristaniščih, je treba v knjigi o oljih navesti, ali so tanke oprali s surovo nafto v prejšnjih pristaniščih ali na morju. Ugotovi se, ali bodo vsi tanki, ki se bodo ali se utegnejo uporabljati na naslednjem potovanju za prevoz balasta, oprani s surovo nafto, preden ladja izpluje iz pristanišča. Obvezno je samo pranje tankov z balastom v pristanišču za raztovarjanje, s to izjemo, da je treba vsakega od teh drugih tankov oprati vsaj v skladu s 6.1 v spremenjenih Specifikacijah ((Resolucija IMO A.446(XI), spremenjena z Resolucijo IMO A.497 (XII)). Pregleda se knjiga o oljih, da bi ugotovili, ali so izpolnjene te zahteve.
5.3.2.16 Celotno pranje s surovo nafto je treba končati, preden ladja zapusti zadnje pristanišče za raztovarjanje.
5.3.2.17 Če se tanki ne perejo v skladu z enim od prednostnih vrstnih redov, prikazanih v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW, inšpektor za varnost plovbe ugotovi, ali so razlogi za to in za predlagani vrstni red pranja tankov sprejemljivi.
5.3.2.18 Za vsak tank, ki se pere, se zagotovi, da je postopek v skladu s Priročnikom o postopkih in opremi COW, pri čemer:
.1 stroji za pranje na krovu in stroji v tankih delujejo bodisi v povezavi z indikatorji, zvočnimi vzorci ali drugimi odobrenimi postopki;
.2 so stroji za pranje na krovu, kadar se uporabljajo, programirani tako, kot je navedeno;
.3 dolžina pranja je takšna, kot se zahteva, in
.4 število strojev za pranje tankov, ki se uporabljajo hkrati, ne presega navedenega števila.
Izcejanje tankov
5.3.2.19 Minimalne pogoje uravnoteženja in parametre postopkov za izcejanje tankov je treba navesti v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW.
5.3.2.20 Vse tanke, oprane s surovo nafto, je treba izcediti. Ustreznost izcejanja je treba preveriti tako, da sežemo z roko v najbolj oddaljeni del vsakega tanka, kamor je mogoče seči z roko ali z drugimi sredstvi, ki so na voljo in so opisana v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW. Ugotovi se, ali je bila ali bo preverjena ustreznost izcejanja, preden ladja zapusti svoje končno pristanišče za raztovarjanje.
Obtežitev ladje
5.3.2.21 Tanke, oprane s surovo nafto na morju, je treba vpisati v knjigo o oljih. Te tanke je treba pustiti prazne med pristanišči za raztovarjanje tovora za inšpekcijski pregled v naslednjem pristanišču. Če so ti tanki balastni tanki za potovanje, se lahko zahteva, da se napolnijo z balastom v zelo zgodnji fazi raztovarjanja. To je zaradi operativnih razlogov in tudi zato, ker mora biti v njih balast med raztovarjanjem tovora, če bodo na ladji prisotni ogljikovodiki. Če je treba te tanke pregledati, ko so prazni, je treba to storiti kmalu zatem, ko tanker pristane. Če pride inšpektor po tem, ko so tanke začeli polniti z balastom, sondiranje dna ni možno. Vendar pa je tedaj možen pregled površine balastne vode. Debelina oljne plasti ne sme biti večja od navedene v 4.2.10(b) v spremenjenih Specifikacijah (Resolucija IMO A.446 (XI), spremenjena z Resolucijo IMO A.497 (XII)).
5.3.2.22 Tanki, ki so namembni balastni tanki, bodo navedeni v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW. Vendar pa je prepuščeno presoji poveljnika ali odgovornega častnika, da se odloči, kateri tanki se lahko uporabijo za balast na naslednjem potovanju. Iz knjige o oljih bo razvidno, da so bili vsi taki tanki oprani, preden je tanker izplul iz svojega zadnjega pristanišča za raztovarjanje. Omeniti je treba, da se tam, kjer bo tanker v vmesnem pristanišču ponovno natovarjal surovo nafto v tanke, namenjene balastu, ne zahteva, da se ti tanki operejo v tem, marveč v naslednjem pristanišču.
5.3.2.23 Iz knjige o oljih bo razvidno, da v tanke, ki niso bili oprani s surovo nafto na prejšnjih potovanjih, ni bila dana dodatna balastna voda.
5.3.2.24 Preveriti je treba, da se namembni balastni tanki za potovanje čim bolj temeljito izpraznijo. Če se odpremni balast polni po ceveh in črpalkah za tovor, jih je treba izcediti v drug tovorni tank ali na obali s posebno za to namenjeno cevjo majhnega premera.
5.3.2.25 Postopki, da se izognemo izhlapevanju, če se zahtevajo lokalno, bodo določeni v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW in jih je treba spoštovati. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe se prepriča o njihovem izpolnjevanju.
5.3.2.26 Upoštevati je treba tipične postopke za polnjenje z balastom, naštete v Priročniku o postopkih in opremi COW. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe se prepriča o njihovem izpolnjevanju.
5.3.2.27 Kadar je treba odpremni balast premakniti, mora izpust v morje potekati v skladu s predpisom 9 Priloge I k MARPOL 73/78. Pregledati je treba knjigo o oljih, da bi ugotovili, ali ladja izpolnjuje te zahteve.
5.4 Raztovarjanje, izcejanje in predpranje v skladu s Prilogo II k MARPOL 73/78
5.4.1 Postopki za inšpekcijski pregled raztovarjanja, izcejanja in predpranja (predvsem v pristaniščih za raztovarjanje)
Uvod
5.4.1.1 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, ki opravlja nadzor v skladu s predpisom 8 Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, mora v celoti poznati Prilogo II k MARPOL 73/78 ter ustaljeno prakso v pristanišču, pomembno za postopke s tovorom, pranje tankov, čiščenje kabin, prepoved maon ob boku ladje itd.

.5 ali ladja zaprosi za oprostitev predpranja in izpraznitve ostankov v pristanišču za raztovarjanje.
5.4.1.4 Kadar se zahteva pranje tanka, ne da bi se pri tem uporabila voda, je treba opozoriti inšpektorja za varnost plovbe ali kontrolorja, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, o postopku pranja tanka in odstranjevanja ostankov.
5.4.1.5 Kadar knjiga tovora ni dopolnjena, je treba priskrbeti vse podatke o predpranju in še o neopravljenih postopkih odstranjevanja ostankov.
Podatki, ki jih zagotovi osebje na terminalih
5.4.1.6 Osebje na terminalu mora dati podatke o omejitvah, ki jih ima ladja v zvezi s protitlakom in/ali sprejemnimi napravami.
Nadzor
5.4.1.7 Pri vkrcanju in predstavitvi poveljniku ali odgovornemu častniku na ladji inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, pregleda potrebne listine.
5.4.1.8 Listine je mogoče uporabiti za ugotavljanje:

.6 tankov, ki se ne smejo prati z vodo zaradi lastnosti vsebovanih snovi (Priročnik P in A).
5.4.1.9 Za postopke predpranja, na katere se nanaša 5.4.1.8 v tej prilogi, so pomembni naslednji podatki (Priročnik P in A):
.1 pritisk, potreben za stroje za pranje tankov;
.2 trajanje enega ciklusa stroja za pranje tankov in uporabljena količina vode;
.3 programi pranja za vsebovane snovi;
.4 potrebna temperatura vode za pranje in
.5 posebni postopki.
5.4.1.10 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča v skladu s predpisom 8 Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, ugotovi, ali se raztovarjanje, izcejanje in/ali postopki predpranja opravljajo v skladu s podatki, pridobljenimi po 5.4.1.2 v tej prilogi (Dokumentacija). Če tega ni mogoče doseči, bodo sprejeti ustrezni ukrepi, da se zagotovi, da ladja ne nadaljuje poti z večjimi količinami ostankov od določenih v predpisu 5A Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, kar je primerno. Če količin ostankov ni mogoče zmanjšati z nadomestnimi ukrepi, inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, o tem obvesti svojo upravo.
5.4.1.11 Paziti je treba na to, da se zagotovi, da vsebina cevi za tovor in sistemov cevi terminala ne teče nazaj na ladjo.
5.4.1.12 Če je ladja oproščena določenih zahtev v zvezi z učinkovitim črpanjem v skladu s predpisom 5A Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, ali če zaprosi za oprostitev od določenih postopkov izcejanja ali predpranja v skladu s predpisom 8 Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, je treba upoštevati pogoje za takšno oprostitev, določene v omenjenih predpisih. Ti se nanašajo na:
.1 predpis 5A(6). Ladja je zgrajena pred 1. julijem 1986 in je oproščena zahteve po zmanjšanju količin svojih ostankov na predpisane meje (tj. snovi kategorije B 0,3 m3 ali 1 m3 in snovi kategorije C 0,9 m3 ali 3 m3). Kadar je treba tank za tovor oprati ali ga obtežiti z balastom, je potrebno predpranje z odstranitvijo odplak, nastalih pri predpranju, v sprejemne naprave na kopnem. Spričevalo CoF ali NLS mora biti overjeno, da se ladja uporablja zgolj za omejena potovanja;
.2 predpis 5A(7). Od ladje se nikoli ne zahteva, da z balastom obteži svoje tanke za tovor, pranje tankov pa se zahteva le pri popravilu ali v suhem doku. Spričevalo CoF ali NLS mora navajati podrobne podatke o izvzetju. Tovorni tank mora imeti potrdilo za prevoz samo ene imenovane snovi;
.3 predpisi 8(2)(b)(i), 8(5)(b)(i), 8(6)(c)(i), in 8(7)(c)(i). Tanki za tovor se ne perejo ali obtežijo z balastom pred naslednjim natovarjanjem;
.4 predpisi 8(2)(b)(ii), 8(5)(b)(ii), 8(6)(c)(ii), in 8(7)(c)(ii). Tanki za tovor se morajo oprati, odplake predpranja pa se izpraznijo v sprejemne naprave v drugem pristanišču. Pisno je treba potrditi, da je v tem pristanišču v ta namen na voljo primerna sprejemna naprava in
.5 predpisi 8(2)(b)(iii), 8(5)(b)(iii), 8(6)(c)(iii) in 8(7)(c)(iii). Ostanki tovora se lahko odstranijo s prezračevanjem.
5.4.1.13 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, mora potrditi knjigo tovora v skladu z razdelkom J vsakič, ko je bila odobrena oprostitev, navedena v 5.4.1.12.3, 5.4.1.12.4 in 5.4.1.12.5 te priloge, ali kadar koli je bilo opravljeno predpranje tanka, iz katerega so iztovorili snovi kategorije A v skladu s Priročnikom P in A.
5.4.1.14 Namesto tega je treba pri snoveh kategorije A, predpis 8(3) Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, izmeriti koncentracijo ostankov s postopki, ki jih odobri vsaka pristaniška država. V tem primeru mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, to potrditi v knjigi tovora v razdelku K vsakič, ko je bila dosežena zahtevana koncentracija ostankov.
5.4.1.15 Poleg 5.4.1.13 v tej prilogi mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, potrditi knjigo tovora vsakič, ko je priča raztovarjanja, izcejanja in/ali postopkov predpranja snovi iz kategorije B, C in D v skladu s Priročnikom P in A.
5.4.1.16 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča, se mora zavedati, da lahko ladje za prevoz naftnih derivatov prevažajo tudi nekatere škodljive “oljem podobne“ tekoče snovi. Take snovi je treba navesti v IOPP spričevalu. Za nadzor ladij, ki prevažajo take snovi, veljajo Nadzorni postopki v Prilogi I k MARPOL 73/78. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe ali kontrolor, ki ga pooblasti uprava države pristanišča in opravlja nadzor v skladu s predpisom 8 Priloge II k MARPOL 73/78, mora v celoti poznati Prilogo I k MARPOL 73/78.
5.5 Postopki za nadzor operativnih zahtev
5.5.1 Pri opravljanju podrobnejšega pregleda inšpektor za varnost plovbe ne bo izvajal nobenih preskusov delovanja ali postavil fizičnih zahtev, ki bi lahko po presoji poveljnika ogrozile varnost ladje, posadke, potnikov, inšpektorjev ali tovora.
5.5.2 Pri opravljanju nadzora delovanja bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe, če je možno, poskrbel za to, da ne bo motil normalnih postopkov na ladji, kot so nakladanje in razkladanje tovora in balastiranje, za kar je odgovoren poveljnik, in da ne bo zahteval prikaza vidikov delovanja, ki bi po nepotrebnem povzročili zamudo ladje.
5.5.3 Po oceni obsega, v katerem so izpolnjene operativne zahteve, mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe uporabiti strokovno presojo, da ugotovi, ali je operativna sposobnost celotne posadke dovolj velika, da lahko ladja pluje brez nevarnosti za ladjo ali osebe na njej, ali pomeni nepotrebno grožnjo za morsko okolje.
Seznam razporeditve ob alarmu
5.5.4 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali člani posadke poznajo svoje delovne dolžnosti, naštete v seznamu.
5.5.5 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko poskrbi, da so seznami razporeditve ob alarmu izobešeni na vidnih mestih po vsej ladji, vključno z navigacijskim mostom, strojnico in prostori za namestitev posadke. Pri ugotovitvi, ali je seznam v skladu s predpisi, lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe preveri, ali:
.1 seznam razporeditve ob alarmu navaja dolžnosti različnih članov posadke;
.2 seznam podrobno navaja, kateri častniki so določeni za to, da zagotovijo, da se reševalne naprave in naprave za gašenje požarov vzdržujejo v dobrem stanju in so pripravljene za takojšnjo uporabo;
.3 seznam razporeditve ob alarmu navaja namestnike za ključne osebe, ki lahko postanejo nezmožne za delo, pri čemer upošteva, da lahko različne izredne razmere zahtevajo različne ukrepe;
.4 seznam razporeditve ob alarmu navaja dolžnosti članov posadke v zvezi s potniki v izrednih razmerah;
.5 je oblika seznama razporeditve ob alarmu, ki se uporablja na potniških ladjah, odobrena in da seznam vključuje prevod v delovni jezik, če ta ni uradni jezik.
5.5.6 Da bi ugotovil, ali je seznam razporeditve ob alarmu dopolnjen, lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe zahteva dopolnjen seznam posadke, če je ta na voljo, da to preveri. V ta namen se lahko uporabijo še druga sredstva, npr. Listina o minimalnem številu članov posadke, ki so potrebni za varno plovbo.
5.5.7 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali so dolžnosti, naložene članom posadke, ki upravljajo reševalno plovilo (rešilne čolne ali rešilne splave), v skladu s predpisi, in preveri, ali je častnik krova ali usposobljena oseba odgovorna za vsako reševalno plovilo, ki se bo uporabljalo. Vendar pa lahko uprava države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, ob upoštevanju vrste potovanja, števila oseb na ladji in lastnosti ladje dovoli, da se osebe, izurjene za delo z rešilnimi splavi in njihovo upravljanje, imenujejo za odgovorne osebe za rešilne splave namesto zgoraj navedenih usposobljenih oseb. Za rešilne čolne je treba imenovati namestnika teh oseb.
5.5.8 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali so člani posadke seznanjeni z dolžnostmi, iz seznama razporeditve ob alarmu, in ali poznajo mesta, na katerih naj bi opravljali svoje dolžnosti.
Sporazumevanje
5.5.9 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali se ključni člani posadke lahko sporazumevajo med seboj oziroma s potniki, da zaradi tega ni moteno varno delovanje ladje, zlasti v izrednih razmerah.
5.5.10 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko vpraša poveljnika, kateri jeziki se uporabljajo kot delovni jeziki in lahko preveri, ali je bil jezik vpisan v ladijski dnevnik.
5.5.11 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali so ključni člani posadke zmožni razumeti drug drugega med inšpekcijskim pregledom ali urjenjem. Člani posadke, katerih dolžnost je pomagati potnikom, morajo biti sposobni dati potnikom potrebne informacije v izrednih razmerah.
Načrt iskanja in reševanja
5.5.11 bis Pri potniških ladjah, ki plujejo na rednih progah, lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe preveri, ali je na ladji odobren načrt za sodelovanje z ustreznimi službami iskanja in reševanja v izrednih razmerah.
Usposabljanje za izredne razmere in vaje
5.5.12 Pristaniški inšpektor bo preveril usposabljanje na ladji in pregledal datume in podrobne podatke iz seznama razporeditve ob alarmu, kot so zapisani v ladijskem dnevniku, ki ga lahko predpiše Uprava..Inšpektor za varnost plovbe, ki je priča požarni vaji in vaji za zapustitev ladje, mora potrditi, da so člani posadke seznanjeni s svojimi dolžnostmi in pravilno uporabo naprav in opreme na ladji.
Požarne vaje
5.5.13 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko prisostvuje požarni vaji, ki jo izvaja posadka, ki so ji te dolžnosti dodeljene v seznamu razporeditve ob alarmu. Po posvetu s poveljnikom ladje se lahko izbere en ali več določenih krajev na ladji za simulirani požar. Član posadke se lahko pošlje na kraj(-e), kjer sproži požarni alarmni sistem ali uporabi drug način za sproženje alarma.
5.5.14 Na kraju samem lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe opiše požarna navodila članu posadke in opazuje, kako se poročilo o požaru prenese na most ali center za obvladovanje škode. Takrat bo večina ladij sprožilo alarm za posadko, da se osebe za gašenje požara zberejo na svojih mestih. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe bo opazoval prihod oseb za gašenje na kraj požara, pripravo opreme in gašenje simuliranega požara. Vodje ekip morajo biti sposobni dajati ukaze svojim možem, tako kot je potrebno, ter prenašati obvestila o razmerah nazaj na most ali center za obvladovanje škode. Člane gasilskih ekip bo opazoval pri oblačenju in uporabi opreme. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe se bo prepričal, ali je vsa njihova oprema popolna. Zgolj kontrola posadke z njeno opremo ni sprejemljiva. Odziv posadke na poškodbe osebja je mogoče preveriti z izbiro člana posadke za simulirano nezgodo. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe opazuje, kako se prenašata sporočilo ter odziv nosilničarjev in medicinskih ekip. Pravilno ravnanje z nosili po ozkih prehodih, med vrati in po stopniščih je težavno in zahteva izkušnje.
5.5.15 Če je možno, je treba vajo opraviti, kot da bi šlo za resnične izredne razmere.
5.5.16 Tisti člani posadke, ki so jim dodeljene druge dolžnosti v zvezi s požarno vajo, kot so uporaba generatorjev v sili, prostora za CO2, škropilnikov in požarnih črpalk v sili, morajo prav tako sodelovati pri vaji. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko prosi te člane posadke, da pojasnijo svoje naloge in da pokažejo svoje znanje, če je to mogoče.
5.5.17 Na potniških ladjah je treba posvetiti posebno pozornost dolžnostim tistih članov posadke, katerih naloga je zapiranje vrat, ki se zapirajo ročno, in dušilnikov požara. S temi napravami za zapiranje morajo ravnati odgovorne osebe v območjih simuliranih požarov med vajo. Člani posadke, ki niso dodeljeni v protipožarne enote, so navadno dodeljeni na določena mesta v prostorih za potnike, da pomagajo pri evakuaciji potnikov. Ti člani posadke naj pojasnijo svoje dolžnosti in pomen različnih znakov za nevarnost in pokažejo oba načina pobega iz območja ter kraj, kjer se morajo zbrati potniki. Člani posadke, določeni za pomoč potnikom, morajo biti sposobni sporočiti vsaj tiste podatke, s katerimi usmerijo potnike na ustrezna zbirna mesta in vkrcevalne postaje.
Vaje za zapustitev ladje
5.5.18 Po posvetu s poveljnikom ladje lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe zahteva vajo za zapustitev ladje za enega ali več reševalnih plovil. Bistvo te vaje je, da imajo reševalna plovila posadko in jih upravljajo tisti člani posadke, ki so jim dodeljeni po seznamu razporeditve ob alarmu. Če je to mogoče, bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe v to vajo vključil rešilne čolne. III. poglavje SOLAS 74 navaja posebne zahteve glede urjenja in vaj za zapustitev ladje, od katerih so posebej pomembna naslednja načela.
5.5.19 Če je možno, je treba vajo izvesti, kot da bi šlo za resnične izredne razmere.
5.5.20 Vaja za zapustitev ladje mora obsegati:
.1 sklic (potnikov in) posadke na zbirno(a) mesto(a) z zahtevanim alarmom in zagotovitev, da poznajo ukaz za izpraznitev ladje, kot je opisano v seznamu razporeditve ob alarmu;
.2 obveščanje postaj in pripravo za naloge, opisane v seznamu razporeditve ob alarmu;
.3 preverjanje, ali so (potniki in) posadka primerno oblečeni;
.4 preverjanje, ali so rešilni jopiči pravilno oblečeni;
.5 spuščanje vsaj enega rešilnega čolna v vodo po potrebni pripravi za splavitev;
.6 zagon in upravljanje motorja rešilnega čolna in
.7 upravljanje soh, ki se uporabljajo za splavitev rešilnih splavov.
.8 simulacijo iskanja in reševanja potnikov, ujetih v bivalnih prostorih;
.9 navodila za uporabo radijskih naprav za reševanje;
.10 preskus delovanja zasilne razsvetljave na zbirnih mestih in mestih za zapustitev ladje ter
.11 če so na ladji nameščeni sistemi za evakuacijo na morju, izvajanje postopkov, potrebnih za aktiviranje teh sistemov, vse do takrat, ko bi bilo treba sisteme v resnici sprožiti.
5.5.21 Če rešilni čoln, spuščen v vodo med vajo, ni čoln za reševanje, je treba spustiti tudi čoln za reševanje ob upoštevanju, da so potniki vkrcani in da je čoln spuščen v vodo v najkrajšem možnem času. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe mora poskrbeti za to, da so člani posadke seznanjeni z dolžnostmi, ki so jim dodeljene med postopki za izpraznitev ladje in da član posadke, ki je odgovoren za reševalno plovilo, v celoti pozna delovanje in opremo tega plovila.
5.5.22 Reševalno plovilo mora biti shranjeno v stanju stalne pripravljenosti, tako da lahko dva člana posadke opravita priprave za vkrcanje in splavitev v manj kot 5 minutah.
5.5.23 Na potniških ladjah se zahteva, da se rešilni čolni in rešilni splavi, ki se spuščajo v vodo na sohah, lahko splavijo v 30 minutah.
5.5.24 Na tovornih ladjah se zahteva, da se rešilni čolni in rešilni splavi, ki se spuščajo v vodo na sohah, lahko splavijo v 10 minutah.
Načrt za obvladovanje škode in načrt za izredne razmere na ladji zaradi onesnaženja z olji (SOPEP)
5.5.25 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali je na potniški ladji na voljo načrt za obvladovanje škode in ali so ustrezni člani posadke seznanjeni s svojimi dolžnostmi in pravilno uporabo ladijskih naprav ter opreme za obvladovanje škode in izredne razmere zaradi onesnaženja.
5.5.26 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali so častniki na ladji seznanjeni z vsebino brošure o obvladovanju škode, ki jim mora biti na voljo, ali z načrtom za obvladovanje škode.
5.5.27 Častnike je mogoče prositi, da razložijo ukrepe, ki jih je treba sprejeti v različnih škodnih okoliščinah.
5.5.28 Častnike je mogoče prositi tudi, da dajo pojasnilo o mejah, oddelkov, ki ne prepuščajo vode, odprtin v njih, skupaj s sredstvi za zapiranje, in položajih vseh njihovih kontrolnih naprav ter programih za popravke vseh seznamov zaradi vdora vode.
5.5.29 Častniki morajo dobro poznati učinek prevesa in stabilnosti svoje ladje ob škodi in posledični poplavljenosti oddelka ter protiukrepe, ki jih je treba sprejeti.
5.5.30 Določbe, na katere se nanašajo razdelki 5.5.25 do 5.5.29 v tej prilogi, veljajo tudi za načrt za obvladovanje škode za tovorne ladje ter za SOPEP za vse ladje. Kadar je primerno, lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe na ladjah, ki prevažajo razsuti tovor, ugotovi, ali častniki poznajo načrte, če pride do poplave v prostorih za tovor, in navodila glede pripravljenosti za evakuacijo.
Protipožarni načrt
5.5.31 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali je na voljo protipožarni načrt ali knjižica, in ali so člani posadke seznanjeni s podatki, prikazanimi v protipožarnem načrtu ali knjižici.
5.5.32 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko preveri, ali so protipožarni načrti ves čas izobešeni kot navodila ladijskim častnikom. Namesto tega lahko vsak častnik prejme knjižico s podatki iz protipožarnega načrta, en izvod pa mora vedno biti na dostopnem mestu na ladji. Načrte in knjižice je treba sproti dopolnjevati in čim prej zapisati vse spremembe.
5.5.33 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali so odgovorni častniki, zlasti tisti, ki so določeni za opravljanje podobnih dolžnosti v seznamu razporeditve ob alarmu, seznanjeni s podatki, navedenimi v protipožarnem načrtu ali knjižici in o tem, kako ravnati ob požaru.
5.5.34 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali častniki, odgovorni za ladjo, vedo, kdo so glavni člani različnih protipožarnih ekip in na kakšne načine je možen dostop do različnih oddelkov.
Računalniško podprt informacijski sistem za pomoč pri odločanju poveljnikov potniških ladij
5.5.34 bis Pri potniških ladjah lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe preveri, ali je na poveljniškem mostu na voljo računalniško podprt informacijski sistem za pomoč pri odločanju glede ravnanja v izrednih razmerah, ki sestoji vsaj iz natisnjenega načrta ali načrtov nujnih ukrepov.
Operacije na poveljniškem mostu
5.5.35 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali so častniki, odgovorni za navigacijsko stražo, seznanjeni z opremo za nadzor na poveljniškem mostu in navigacijsko opremo, s spremembo načina krmiljenja od avtomatskega do ročnega in obratno, ter z manevrskimi lastnostmi ladje.
5.5.36 Častnik, odgovoren za navigacijsko stražo, mora poznati kraj in delovanje celotne varnostne in navigacijske opreme. Poleg tega mora biti ta častnik seznanjen s postopki, ki veljajo za plovbo ladje v vseh razmerah, in mora poznati vse razpoložljive podatke.
5.5.37 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko tudi preveri, ali častniki poznajo vse podatke, ki so jim na voljo, kot so manevrske lastnosti ladje, signali za nevarnost, sodobne pomorske publikacije, kontrolni spiski v zvezi s postopki na poveljniškem mostu, navodila, priročniki itd.
5.5.38 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko tudi preveri, ali častniki poznajo vse postopke, kot so občasni preskusi in preverjanja opreme, priprave na prihod in odhod ladje, sprememba načinov krmarjenja, signalizacija, sporazumevanje, manevriranje, izredne razmere in vpisi v ladijski dnevnik.
5.5.38.1 Dovoljenje za upravljanje hitrega plovila vsebuje omejitve glede največje višine vala (in hitrosti vetra za plovila na zračni blazini) do katere lahko plovilo pluje. Med pregledom hitrega plovila lahko inšpektor pregleda dnevnik in vremenske podatke, da se prepriča če so bile omejitve upoštevane. Inšpektorji lahko ugotovijo, da se je potovanje moralo izvršiti do konca, kljub slabšim vremenskim pogojem kot je to dovoljeno, vendar se novo potovanje v takih razmerah ne sme začeti.
5.5.38.2 Preveriti je potrebno tudi postopke za pridobivanje vremenskih napovedi pred vsakim potovanjem. Napovedi za višino valov morajo veljati za primeren čas potovanja. Če so pogoji na meji dovoljenega, mora poveljnik pridobiti nove podatke od meteoroloških služb države pristanišča ali od ladij v bližini. Če so postopki pomanjkljivi morajo lastniki potrditi sprejete ukrepe za odpravo pomanjkljivosti. Inšpektorji morajo preveriti zapiske v dnevniku, ki beležijo vremenske pogoje znatno pod napovedanimi vremenskimi stanji, ki presegajo omejitve plovila. Če so potrebni dodatni dokazi, se lahko od obalne meteorološke službe pridobi vremensko poročilo (t.j. vremensko stanje v točno določenem obdobju), vendar le če obstaja tehten dvom. Ko se ugotovi, da je hitro plovilo kršilo svoje vremenske omejitve, se lahko pošlje opozorilno pismo lastnikom ter en izvod državi pripadnosti.
Ravnanje s tovorom
5.5.39 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali je ladijsko osebje, ki so mu dodeljene posebne naloge s tovorom in tovorno opremo, seznanjeno s temi nalogami, z vsemi nevarnostmi povezanimi s tovorom, ter z ukrepi, ki jih je treba sprejeti v tej zvezi.
5.5.39 bis Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko preveri, ali ima poveljnik ladje ustrezne pisne informacije o varnostnih ukrepih za pravilno nakladanje in varen prevoz tovora.
5.5.40 V zvezi s prevozom trdnih tovorov v razsutem stanju inšpektor za varnost plovbe preveri, če je potrebno, ali se nakladanje tovora opravlja v skladu z ladijskim načrtom nakladanja in razkladanje v skladu z ladijskim načrtom razkladanja, ki sta ju določila predstavnika ladje in terminala upoštevaje podatke, ki jih je dal nakladalno-razkladalni računalnik, če je nameščen.
5.5.41 Kadar je potrebno, lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe ugotovi, ali odgovorni člani posadke poznajo ustrezne določbe Kodeksa o varnih postopkih za trdne tovore v razsutem stanju, zlasti tiste, ki se nanašajo na meje vlažnosti in uravnoteženje tovora, Kodeksa o varnih postopkih za ladje, ki prevažajo na krovu tovore lesa, ter Kodeksa o varnih postopkih za natovarjanje in pritrditev tovora.
5.5.42 Nekatere trdne snovi, ki se prevažajo v razsutem stanju, lahko pomenijo nevarnost med prevozom zaradi svojih kemijskih ali fizikalnih lastnosti. Predpis VI/2 SOLAS in Razdelek 2 Kodeksa o varnih postopkih za trdne tovore v razsutem stanju navajata splošne varnostne ukrepe. Razdelek 4 Kodeksa o varnih postopkih za trdne tovore v razsutem stanju obvezuje špediterja, da priskrbi vse potrebne podatke za zagotovitev varnega prevoza tovora. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali je špediter dal poveljniku ladje na voljo vse pomembne podatke, vključno z vsemi ustreznimi potrdili o preskusih.
5.5.43 Za nekatere tovore, kot so tovori, ki se lahko utekočinijo, veljajo posebni varnostni ukrepi, navedeni v Razdelku 7 Kodeksa o varnih postopkih za trdne tovore v razsutem stanju. Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi ali so izpolnjeni vsi varnostni ukrepi, posebno pozornost pa nameni stabilnosti tistih ladij, ki sodelujejo pri prevozu tovorov, ki se lahko utekočinijo, ter nevarnih trdnih odpadkov v razsutem stanju.
5.5.44 Osebe, odgovorne za ravnanje in delo s tovorom, in ključni člani posadk tankerjev, ladij za prevoz kemikalij in ladij za prevoz utekočinjenih plinov, morajo biti seznanjeni s tovorom in tovorno opremo ter z varnostnimi ukrepi, določenimi v ustreznih razdelkih Mednarodnega kodeksa o gradnji in opremi ladij, za prevoz nevarnih kemikalij v razsutem stanju (Kodeks IBC), ter Mednarodnega kodeksa o gradnji in opremi ladij, za prevoz kapljivo tekočih plinov (Kodeks IGC).
5.5.45 Za prevoz žita v razsutem stanju se je treba ravnati po delu C VI. poglavja SOLAS 74 ter Mednarodnem kodeksu za varen prevoz žita v razsutem stanju (Resolucija IMO MSC.23(59)).
5.5.46 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali operativni priročniki o postopkih, zavarovanju tovora in o natovarjanju vsebujejo vse pomembne podatke za varne postopke nakladanja in razkladanja v pristanišču kot tudi med prevozom.
Delovanje strojne opreme
5.5.47 Inšpektor za varnost plovbe lahko ugotovi, ali odgovorne osebe na ladji poznajo svoje dolžnosti v zvezi z delovanjem nujno potrebne strojne opreme, kot:
.1 viri napajanja z električno energijo v izrednih razmerah in pomožni viri napajanja;
.2 pomožne krmilne naprave;

Razdelek 6 Posadka
6.1 Uvod
Vodilna načela za nadzor nad posadko na tuji ladji, ki ga opravlja inšpekcija za varnost plovbe, naj bi bila ugotavljanje skladnosti:
.1 z zahtevami države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, glede varnega števila članov posadke. Ob dvomu se je treba posvetovati z državo ladijske zastave, ter
.2 z mednarodnimi določbami, predpisanimi v SOLAS 74, STCW 78 in Resoluciji IMO A.481 (XII);
.3 z določbami ILO 147, ki se med drugim nanašajo na 3. in 4. člen Konvencije ILO št. 53.
6.2 Nadzor nad posadko
6.2.1 Če je stanje posadke na ladji v skladu z listino o minimalnem številu članov posadke ali drugo enakovredno listino, ki jo je izdala država, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, inšpektor za varnost plovbe potrdi, da je število članov posadke na ladji zadovoljivo, razen če je bila listina očitno izdana brez upoštevanja načel iz ustreznih listin. V tem primeru bo inšpektor ravnal v skladu s postopki, določenimi v 6.2.3 te priloge.
6.2.2 Če dejansko število članov posadke ali njena sestava ni v skladu z listino o minimalnem številu članov posadke, mora država, v kateri je pristanišče, zaprositi državo ladijske zastave za obvestilo ali sme ladja pluti z dejanskim številom članov posadke in njeno sestavo ali ne. Tako prošnjo in odgovor je treba poslati na primeren način; vsaka stran lahko zahteva pisno obvestilo. Če dejansko število članov posadke ali njena sestava ni v skladu z listino o minimalnem številu članov posadke, ali če država, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, ne sporoči, da sme ladja izpluti, se lahko ob primernem upoštevanju meril, določenih v 9.2 te priloge, razmisli o njenem zadržanju.
6.2.3 Če ladja nima listine o minimalnem številu članov posadke ali enakovredne listine, bo država, v kateri je pristanišče, zahtevala od države ladijske zastave navedbo potrebnega števila članov posadke in njene sestave ter čimprejšnjo izdajo listine.
Če dejansko število članov posadke ali njena sestava ne ustreza navedbam, ki jih pošlje država, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, se uporabi postopek iz 6.2.2 te priloge.
Če država ladijske zastave ne odgovori na zahtevo, se to šteje kot utemeljen razlog za podrobnejši inšpekcijski pregled, ki naj ugotovi, ali sta število članov posadke in njena sestava v skladu z načeli, predpisanimi v 6.1 te priloge. Ladji se sme dati dovoljenje, da nadaljuje plovbo le, če je to varno, upoštevaje pri tem merila za zadržanje iz 9.2 te priloge. V vsakem takem primeru naj uporabljeni minimalni standardi ne bodo strožji od tistih, ki se uporabljajo za ladje, ki plujejo pod zastavo države, v kateri je pristanišče.
6.3 Nadzor v skladu z določbami STCW 78
6.3.1 Brez vpliva na druge pravice in obveznosti glede nadzora inšpektorjev za varnost plovbe v zvezi s sporazumevanjem in informacijami na ladji, se bo nadzor, ki ga opravlja inšpektor za varnost plovbe, omejil na naslednje:
1. preverjanje, ali imajo vsi pomorščaki, zaposleni na ladji, za katere se zahteva spričevalo o usposobljenosti, ustrezno spričevalo ali veljavno oprostitev oziroma pisna dokazila o tem, da je bila vloga za overitev spričevala predložena upravi države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja;
.2 preverjanje, ali so številke in spričevala teh pomorščakov, zaposlenih na ladji, v skladu z veljavnimi zahtevami uprave države pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, glede minimalnega števila članov posadke in
.3 oceno sposobnosti pomorščakov na ladji, da vzdržujejo standarde ladijskega stražarjenja, ki se zahtevajo v konvenciji, če so utemeljeni razlogi za prepričanje, da se ti standardi ne vzdržujejo, ker se je zgodilo nekaj od naslednjega:
.1 ladja je bila udeležena pri trčenju ali je nasedla ali
.2 so bile iz ladje izpuščene snovi, ko je ladja plula, bila zasidrana ali privezana, kar prepovedujejo vse mednarodne konvencije, ali
.3 so z ladjo manevrirali napačno ali ne varno, pri čemer niso upoštevali ukrepov med plovbo, ki jih je sprejela IMO, ali varne navigacijske prakse in postopkov, ali
.4 se ladja sicer upravlja na način, ki je nevaren za osebe, imetje ali okolje.
6.3.2 Pri ocenjevanju standardov ladijskega stražarjenja lahko inšpektor za varnost plovbe preveri, ali razporedi straže jasno kažejo odmore, ali so objavljeni in zlahka dostopni, ter ali imajo vse osebe, ki opravljajo dolžnost častnikov za stražo ali članov posadke v sestavi krovne straže, na voljo najmanj 10 ur počitka (kadar koli) v 24-ih urah, od tega najmanj 6 ur zaporedoma, ter 70 ur v vsakem sedemdnevnem obdobju. Teh obdobij ni treba upoštevati v nujnih primerih ali pri vajah ali v drugih zelo pomembnih razmerah, kar pa jih je vsekakor treba zapisati.

Inšpektorji za varnost plovbe ne smejo ovirati delovanja ladje, niti ne smejo povzročiti okoliščin, ki bi po oceni poveljnika lahko ogrozile varnost potnikov, posadke in ladje.
Razdelek 9 Odprava pomanjkljivosti in zadržanje ladje
9.1 Načela, ki urejajo odpravo pomanjkljivosti ali zadržanje ladje
Pri sprejemanju odločitve glede odprave pomanjkljivosti ali zadržanja ladje bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe upošteval rezultate podrobnega pregleda, opravljenega v skladu z razdelkom 3 memoranduma, in postopke, omenjene v razdelku 6 in 9.3 te priloge.
Inšpektor bo po svoji strokovni presoji odločil, ali bo ladjo zadržal, dokler pomanjkljivosti ne bodo odpravljene, ali ji dovolil, da nadaljuje plovbo z nekaterimi pomanjkljivostmi, ki ne pomenijo nepotrebnega ogrožanja varnosti, zdravja ali okolja, upoštevaje pri tem posebne okoliščine načrtovanega potovanja. Pri normativih o minimalnem številu članov posadke in določbah Konvencije ILO št. 147 bo upošteval posebne postopke, predpisane v razdelkih 6 in 7 te priloge.
9.2 Zadržanje ladje zaradi normativov o minimalnem številu članov posadke in spričeval
Preden se ladja zadrži zaradi pomanjkljivih normativov o minimalnem številu članov posadke in spričeval, je treba ob upoštevanju 9.3.4.9 v tej prilogi pretehtati:
.1 dolžino in vrsto načrtovane plovbe ali storitve,
.2 ali pomanjkljivost ogroža ladje, osebe na njih ali okolje,
.3 ali se da zagotoviti primeren čas za počitek posadke ali ne,
.4 velikost in vrsto ladje ter njeno opremljenost in
.5 vrsto tovora.
9.3 Postopki za zadržanje ladij vseh velikosti
9.3.1 Uvod
Ti postopki naj se uporabijo, če se med inšpekcijskim pregledom ladje ugotovijo pomanjkljivosti. Uporabijo naj se kot napotek inšpektorju za varnost plovbe in ne kot spisek za preverjanje.
9.3.2 Glavna merila
Pri strokovni presoji o tem, ali naj ladjo zadrži ali ne, bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe uporabil ta merila:
.1 Določitev časa: ladje, ki niso varne za nadaljevanje plovbe, se zadržijo po prvem inšpekcijskem pregledu, ne glede na to, koliko časa bodo ostale v pristanišču;
.2 Merilo: ladja se zadrži, če so pomanjkljivosti na njej dovolj resne, da se mora inšpektor za varnost plovbe zaradi njih vrniti na ladjo, da se prepriča, ali so bile odpravljene, preden ladja odpluje.
Potreba, da se inšpektor za varnost plovbe vrne nazaj na ladjo, je opredeljena z resnostjo pomanjkljivosti. To ne pomeni take obveznosti v vsakem primeru. Pomeni pa, da bodo oblasti po možnosti s ponovnim obiskom preverile, ali so bile pomanjkljivosti odpravljene pred odhodom.
9.3.3 Uporaba glavnih meril
Kadar se inšpektor za varnost plovbe odloča, ali so pomanjkljivosti, ki jih je odkril na ladji, dovolj resne, da je zaradi njih potrebno zadržanje ladje, naj ugotovi, ali:
. 1 ima ladja ustrezne veljavne listine;
. 2 ima ladja posadko, kot se zahteva v listini o minimalnem številu članov posadke, ki so potrebni za varno plovbo.
Med pregledom bo inšpektor za varnost plovbe ocenil tudi, ali je ladja in/ali posadka sposobna:
. 3 varno pluti;
. 4 varno ravnati s tovorom in ga prevažati ter nadzorovati stanje tovora med plovbo;
. 5 varno upravljati strojnico med plovbo;
. 6 ohranjati primerno pogonsko moč in krmiljenje med plovbo;
. 7 učinkovito gasiti požare v katerem koli delu ladje med plovbo;
. 8 hitro in varno zapustiti ladjo in izvesti reševanje med plovbo;
. 9 preprečevati onesnaževanje okolja med plovbo;
.10 ohranjati primerno stabilnost med plovbo;
.11 ohranjati primerno neprepustnost za vodo med plovbo;
.12 se sporazumevati v izrednih razmerah med plovbo;
.13 zagotavljati varne in zdrave razmere na ladji med plovbo.
Če je ob upoštevanju vseh ugotovljenih pomanjkljivosti, rezultat katere koli ocene negativen, je treba resno razmisliti o zadržanju ladje. Tudi kombinacija manj resnih pomanjkljivosti lahko upraviči zadržanje ladje.
9.3.4 Pomanjkljivosti, zaradi katerih se ladja zadrži
V pomoč inšpektorju za varnost plovbe pri uporabi teh postopkov je v nadaljevanju naveden seznam pomanjkljivosti, ki veljajo za tako resne, da lahko upravičijo zadržanje ladje, razvrščenih v skupine po ustreznih konvencijah in/ali kodeksih. Seznam ni dokončen, temveč se naj uporablja le kot ponazoritev ustreznih točk. Vendar pa so pomanjkljivosti, zaradi katerih je treba ladjo zadržati, v področju STCW 78, naštete v 9.3.4.8 te priloge, edini razlog za zadržanje ladje po tej konvenciji.
9.3.4.1 Splošno
.1 odsotnost veljavnih spričeval, kot jih zahtevajo ustrezne listine. Vendar pa ladje, ki plujejo pod zastavo držav, ki niso članice konvencije (ustrezne listine ) ali niso uvedle druge ustrezne listine, nimajo pravice imeti spričeval, zahtevanih v konvenciji ali drugi ustrezni listini. Zato odsotnost zahtevanih spričeval sama po sebi ni razlog za zadržanje teh ladij, seveda pa je treba ob upoštevanju klavzule “izključitev ugodnejše obravnave“ zahtevati, da ladja v glavnem izpolnjuje določbe, preden odpluje.

Razdelek 2 Kršitev določb o izpustu po Prilogi I k MARPOL 73/78
2.1 Določbe v razdelkih 2 in 3 te priloge so namenjene opisu podatkov, ki jih pogosto potrebuje uprava države, pod katere zastavo pluje ladja, za kazenski pregon takih morebitnih kršitev.
2.2 Priporoča se, da oblasti obalne države ali države pristanišča pri pripravi poročila države pristanišča o ugotovljenih pomanjkljivostih, kadar gre za kršitev zahtev o izpustu, upoštevajo razčlenjeni spisek morebitnih dokazov, prikazan v razdelku 3 te priloge. V tej zvezi je treba vedeti, da:
.1 je namen poročila zagotoviti čim boljšo primerjavo razpoložljivih podatkov; vendar pa je treba predložiti čim več informacij, tudi če ni mogoče zagotoviti vseh;
.2 pomembno je, da vse informacije, zajete v poročilu, temeljijo na dejstvih, ki, kadar jih upoštevamo kot celoto, prepričajo državo pristanišča ali obalno državo, da je bil storjen prekršek.
2.3 Poleg poročila države pristanišča o ugotovljenih pomanjkljivostih mora poročilo izpolniti država pristanišča ali obalna država na podlagi razčlenjenega spiska morebitnih dokazov. Pomembno je, da so tem poročilom priloženi ti dokumenti:
.1 izjava osebe, ki je opazila onesnaženje. Poleg podatkov, ki se zahtevajo v 3.1 te priloge, mora izjava vključevati tudi ocene, na podlagi katerih je opazovalec ugotovil, da vir onesnaženja v resnici ni noben drug možen vir;
.2 izjave v zvezi s postopki vzorčenja madeža na vodi in na ladji. Vključevati morajo kraj in čas odvzema vzorcev, identiteto oseb, ki odvzemajo vzorce, ter potrdila, ki določajo osebe, ki hranijo in pošiljajo vzorce;
.3 poročila o analizah vzorcev, odvzetih iz madeža na vodi in na ladji; poročila morajo vključevati izsledke analiz, opis uporabljene metode, navedbo ali kopije strokovne dokumentacije, ki potrjuje točnost in veljavnost uporabljene metode, ter imena oseb, ki opravljajo analize in njihove izkušnje;

INFORMACIJSKI SISTEM O INŠPEKCIJSKIH PREGLEDIH
1 Da bi oblasti lažje izbirale ladje, ki plujejo pod tujimi zastavami, za inšpekcijski pregled v svojih pristaniščih, morajo imeti na voljo tekoče podatke o pregledih posameznih ladij, ki plujejo pod tujo zastavo, v enem od preostalih regionalnih pristanišč v preteklih šestih mesecih.
2 V ta namen se oblasti obvezujejo, da bodo po možnosti z računalniškim prenosom podatkov oskrbovale “Centre Administratif des Affaires Maritimes“ (C.A.A.M.) (Upravni center za pomorske zadeve) v Saint Maloju, s podatki o ladjah, pregledanih v domačih pristaniščih, in se pri tem opirale na podatke, predpisane v Prilogi 3 k memorandumu. Podatki o inšpekcijskih pregledih naj se po možnosti vnašajo v dokumentacijo z vsakodnevim neposrednim računalniškim vnosom.
3 Za izmenjavo hitrih informacij naj informacijski sistem vključuje komunikacijsko zvezo, ki omogoča neposredno računalniško izmenjavo sporočil med posameznimi oblastmi, vključno z uradnimi obvestili, na katera se nanaša razdelek 3.8 tega memoranduma, ter izmenjavo informacij o kršitvah postopkov, na katere se nanaša razdelek 5 memoranduma.
4 Informacije iz drugega in tretjega odstavka se pošljejo v predpisani obliki in v skladu s predpisanimi postopki, opredeljenimi v navodilih za uporabnike informacijskega sistema, ki jih je pripravil C.A.A.M.
5 C.A.A.M. bo poskrbel za obdelavo podatkov po drugem odstavku, tako da bodo podatki o inšpekcijskih pregledih zlahka dostopni za vpogled kot tudi za sprotno dopolnjevanje v skladu s postopki, opredeljenimi v navodilih za uporabnike informacijskega sistema, ki jih je pripravil C.A.A.M.
6 Če v izjemnih okoliščinah podatkov iz (točk) 2 in 3 zgoraj ni mogoče oskrbeti z računalniškim prenosom, je treba podatke, vsebovane v poročilu o inšpekcijskem pregledu, navedenem v Prilogi 3, priskrbeti s telefaks zvezami kot nadomestnim sistemom za izmenjavo informacij.
7 Podatke za upravne namene, kot so statistični podatki, bo dajal sekretariat po navodilih odbora. Ta pa se bo opiral na podatke, ki jih bo dajal C.A.A.M.
8 Informacijski sistem, prikazan v prejšnjih odstavkih, se bo uporabljal, dokler velja memorandum.
Raziskave za spremljanje in nadzor ter po potrebi izboljšanje kakovosti sistema bodo potekale ves čas.
9 S soglasjem oblasti bo C.A.A.M. v imenu teh oblasti poslal poročila o zadržanju ladje Mednarodni pomorski organizaciji v skladu s Predpisom I/19 SOLAS 74, 11. členom MARPOL 73/78, 21. členom LOADLINES 66 in X. členom STCW 78.
