Circular

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee (the Committee), at its eighty-first session (10 to 19 May 2006), noted that despite having issued MSC/Circ.1133 on Reminder of the obligation to notify flag States when exercising control and compliance measures, in a number of cases SOLAS Contracting Governments, when taking control measures or steps against ships pursuant to the provisions of SOLAS regulation XI-2/9 on Control and compliance measures, continued to fail to notify, as required by the aforesaid regulation, either the Administration or the Organization or both.

  2 As a result, the Committee recognized, once more, the need for all parties concerned and the Organization to be informed when a SOLAS Contracting Government had taken control measures or steps against a ship, and approved the Further Reminder of the obligation to notify flag States when exercising control and compliance measures (the Further reminder), as set out at annex.

  3 SOLAS Contracting Governments are invited to bring the attached Further reminder to the attention of those officers whom they have authorized or whom they may authorize to carry out control and compliance measures pursuant to the provisions of SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.

  4 Companies are invited to make available on board the ships they operate copies of the present circular and to make them available to those officers conducting control and compliance measures pursuant to the provisions of SOLAS regulation XI-2/9 on board their ships for their information.

  5 Member Governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations with consultative status are also invited to bring to the attention of the Committee any instance where SOLAS Contracting Governments or duly authorized officers have failed to notify the relevant Administration that they have taken control measures or steps against a ship pursuant to the provisions of SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.

  6 MSC/Circ.1133 on Reminder of the obligation to notify flag States when exercising control and compliance measures is revoked as from the date of issue of the present circular.
