8 Action to take in the event of a ship's non-compliance with system requirements

  8.1 The system's objectives are to initiate maritime search and rescue and anti-pollution measures as quickly and effectively as possible if an emergency is reported or if a ship that is supposed to report does not and no contact can be established with it. All possible means will be deployed to obtain the participation of the ships required to send in reports. Should these fail to materialize and the offending ship can be identified beyond doubt, the competent authorities in the relevant flag State will be informed with a view to their investigating the situation and possibly starting legal proceedings under their national legislation. The CANREP mandatory ship reporting system exists only for the exchange of information, and does not confer additional powers to impose change in a ship's operations. The reporting system will be implemented in accordance with the provisions of UNCLOS, the SOLAS Convention and other relevant international instruments, and the reporting system will not constitute a basis for preventing the passage of a ship in transit through the reporting area.
