Other Security-Related Information Which May be Required

  15 SOLAS regulation XI-2/9.2.1.6 allows Contracting Governments to seek the submission of other practical security-related information (but not details of the ship security plan), taking into account the guidance given in part B of the ISPS Code (paragraph B/4.39 of the ISPS Code). SOLAS regulation XI-2/5 is one of the examples of practical security related information cited in paragraph B/4.39 of the ISPS Code.

  16 SOLAS regulation XI-2/5 requires the Company to ensure that the master has available on board, at all times, information through which officers duly authorised by a Contracting Government can establish:

  • .1 who is responsible for appointing the members of the crew or other persons currently employed or engaged on board the ship in any capacity on the business of that ship;

  • .2 who is responsible for deciding the employment of the ship; and

  • .3 in cases where the ship is employed under the terms of charter party(ies), who are the parties to such charter party(ies).

  17 SOLAS regulation XI-2/5 should always be read in association with the provisions of paragraphs B/6.1 to B/6.8 of the ISPS Code.
