Statutory Documents - IMO Publications and Documents - Resolutions - Assembly - IMO Resolution A.1052(27) – Procedures for Port State Control, 2011 – (Adopted on 30 November 2011) - Annex – Procedures for Port State Control, 2011 - Appendix 2 – Guidelines for the Detention of Ships - 2 General
2 General
The lack of valid certificates as required by the relevant instruments may warrant the detention of ships. However, ships flying the flag of States not a Party to a convention or not having implemented another relevant instrument, are not entitled to carry the certificates provided for by the convention or other relevant instrument. Therefore, absence of the required certificates should not by itself constitute a reason to detain these ships; however, in applying the "no more favourable treatment" clause, substantial compliance with the provisions and criteria specified in these Procedures must be required before the ship sails.
