The Requirement to Submit information Prior to Entry into Port and the Consequences of Failing to do so

  4 SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.2.2 requires every ship to which SOLAS chapter XI-2 applies intending to enter the port of another Contracting Government to provide the information described in SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.2.1 on the request of the officers duly authorized by that Government. The master may decline to provide such information on the understanding that failure to do so may result in denial of entry into port.

  5 Paragraph B/4.40 of the ISPS Code states that SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.2.5 allows the master of a ship, upon being informed that the coastal or port State will implement control measures under SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.2, to withdraw the intention for the ship to enter port. If the master withdraws that intention, SOLAS regulation XI-2/9 no longer applies, and any other steps that are taken must be based on, and consistent with, international law.
