1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eightieth
session (11 to 20 May 2005) and the Marine Environment Protection
Committee, at its fifty-third session (18 to 22 July 2005), taking
into account the amendments adopted at MSC 79 and MEPC 52 which amended
certificates to include the phrases:
| “Completion date of the survey on which this certificate is
based:.....................................”and
|
|
|
(dd/mm/yyyy)
|
|
| “Completion date of the verification on which this certificate is
based:.....................................”
|
|
|
(dd/mm/yyyy)
|
|
where appropriate, considered it desirable to facilitate
the uniform implementation of the above provisions and therefore agreed
to the following interpretation concerning the date of completion
of the survey and verification on which the certificates are based:
-
“Where the completion date is indicated on the certificate,
the date is based on the date of the last survey and verification
visit, as relevant, on which all items required to be surveyed or
verified have been surveyed or verified regardless if the items were
found satisfactory or with minor deficiencies or non-conformities.”

circular to the attention of all parties concerned.
