Reports in Respect of Control of Ships in Port

  7.1 Duly authorized officers should ensure that, on the conclusion of an inspection of a ship in port, the ship's master or ship security officer is provided with a report giving the results of the inspection, details of any action taken by the duly authorized officer, and a list of any non-compliances to be rectified by the master, ship security officer or the company. Such reports should be made in accordance with the format set out in Appendix 1 (regulation XI-2/9.3.1).

  7.2 When, in the exercise of control and compliance measures, a duly authorized officer inspects, delays, restricts operations, detains or expels a ship from port after clear grounds for non-compliance have been identified, the Contracting Government shall reportfootnote forthwith by the most expeditious means in writing to the Administration specifying which control measures have been imposed or steps taken and reasons thereof. The Contracting Government shall also provide copies of such report to the recognized security organization, which issues the ship's ISSC (or the Interim ISSC), and the Organization (regulation XI-2/9.3.1).

  7.3 When the ship is denied entry to, or expelled from port, the Contracting Government should notify the relevant authorities of the ship's next port of call, if known, and any other appropriate coastal States. This notification shall be sent with the appropriate security and confidentiality safeguards (regulation XI-2/9.3.2).
