4 Deficiencies warranting detention

  4.1 A PSCO should use professional judgment to determine whether to detain the ship until any noted deficiencies are corrected or to permit a vessel to sail with deficienciesfootnote.

  4.2 In order to assist the PSCO in the use of these Guidelines, the following deficiencies should be considered to be of such nature that they may warrant the detention of a ship:

  • .1 absence of a valid LRIT Conformance test report; and

  • .2 the master or the responsible officer are not familiar with essential shipboard operational procedures relating to LRIT.

  4.3 Taking into account the guidance found in the Guidance on the implementation of the LRIT system (MSC.1/Circ.1298), PSCOs are also advised that ships should not be detained if the LRIT installation on board works, but the shore-side installation or organization is not able to receive, relay or process the information.

  4.4 PSCOs are advised that a flag State may issue a short-term certificate. This could happen if, following a successful inspection for the issuance of a Conformity Test report, the ASP has not been able to issue a document yet, or if the ASP is not able to perform a conformance test in due time upon request of the shipowner.
