2.5 More Detailed Inspections

  2.5.1 If the ship does not carry valid certificates, or if the PSCO, from general impressions or observations on board, has clear grounds for believing that the condition of the ship or its equipment does not correspond substantially with the particulars of the certificates or that the master or crew is not familiar with essential shipboard procedures, a more detailed inspection as described in this chapter should be carried out, utilizing relevant appendices.

  2.5.2 It is not envisaged that all of the equipment and procedures outlined in this chapter would be checked during a single port State control inspection, unless the condition of the ship or the familiarity of the master or crew with essential shipboard procedures necessitates such a detailed inspection. In addition, these Procedures are not intended to impose the seafarer certification programme of the port State on a ship entitled to fly the flag of another Party to STCW or to impose control procedures on foreign ships in excess of those imposed on ships of the port State.
