12 Any subsequent failure of security equipment
or systems, or suspension of a security measure that compromises the
ship's ability to operate at security levels 1 to 3 have to be reported
immediately, together with any proposed remedial actions, to the Administration
or the RSO, if the ISSC was issued by an RSO, and the appropriate
authorities responsible for any port facility the ship is using, or
the authorities of any coastal State through whose territorial seas
the ship has indicated it intends to transit, and instructions requested.
13 Any failure of security equipment or systems,
or suspension of a security measure that does not compromise the ship's
ability to operate at security levels 1 to 3 have to be reported without
delay to the Administration or the RSO, if the ISSC was issued by
an RSO, and if so decided by the Administration, for their consideration
with details of the equivalent alternative security measures the ship
is applying until the failure or suspension is rectified together
with an action plan specifying the timing of any repair or replacement.
14 The Administration or the RSO, if the ISSC
was issued by an RSO, and if so decided by the Administration, may
approve the alternative security measures being taken and the action
plan, require amendments to such measures, require additional or alternative
measures, speedier repair or replacement or take other appropriate
action.
15 The International Ship Security Certificate
should be withdrawn or suspended if:
-
.1 the alternative security measures are not,
in fact, in place; or
-
.2 an approved action plan has not been complied
with.
16 Company and Ship Security Officers and Administrations
should be aware of the possible cumulative effect of individual failures
or suspensions which could impair the ship's ability to operate at
security levels 1 to 3.
