Issue of the International Ship Security Certificate

  10 The Committee concluded that a Certificate should only be issued:

  • .1 when the ship has an approved ship security plan (SSSP); and

  • .2 there was objective evidence to the satisfaction of the Administration that the ship is operating in accordance with the provisions of the approved plan.

  11 Certificates should not be issued in cases where minor deviations from the approved plan or the requirements of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and part A of the ISPS Code existed, even if these deviations did not compromise the ship's ability to operate at security levels 1 to 3.
